The Convention adopted tho roles ofthe House
of Representatives so far ns practicable for iugov-
cruuicut.
Tbe two thirds rule was adopted ,by States, de
cided n6 follows Ayes, 175 Nays, 7S.
On inoiiou, tbe convention ilicn, at 20 minutes
past 2 o’clock, adjourned to 5 P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr. Howard, CUairmnn of tbe Committee uu
Credentials, made a report in tho New York dele
gation cose, nccouipnuicd by a few remarks, ex
planatory. The committee, before entering upon
their duties, and examining credentials, adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved, That this committee refuse to open
the discussion to the two conflicting parties from
New York,’now contending for seats in the Na-
tioual Democratic Convention, until each
Kball pledge themteivc* to abide the decwion
of said Convention, aud agree to support, by
all honorable means, the nomination ol this Con
vention. _ .. ... l. i
The committee, in wmly to this resolution, had
received the following fetter from the Herkimer
and Utica delegates: _ , .
To tho Committee on Credentials The dele
gates of the democracy of tho State of New 1 ork
to the Baltimore Convention respectfully protest
against the decision of the committee, that before
eutoring ui«iu (he examination of the evidence as
to their rights to seats iu Uie Convention, ami be-
fore they have become members of that body, they
shall pledge themselves to abide the decision of the
Convention, and to support its nominees. They
would feel themselves unworthy to represent the
democracy of New York if they could submit to a
condition which impeaches tbe integrity of Ihefr
representatives, and which would dishonor our
Stole by subjecting its delegates to a 'V n “ l , t ; ” D
tho Convention expressly declined to
gatlou to seats in said convention would be
contested by conflicting claimants, it was unani
mously
Resolved, That said Baltimore Convention be
respectfully requested to decide upon tbo right of
said delegation to seats therein, nud to cast
the vote of said State iu said convention, at the
earliest practicable period after the assemble)
thereof.
Resolved, further. That the said delegation, in
submitting their claim to admission as to the right
ful delegation from the Stale of New York, and in
requesting a decision thereon, acknowledge the
authority of this convention to determine and set-
tin the question of admissibility; that relying upon
the justice of this conveulitfti it will cheerfully ac
quiesce in such decision as lhe committee shall
make, upon determining which delegation is en
titled to said seats, and votes, aud that it will suji-
port such nominees as shall bo presented by tho
convention for tbe support of tbe democratic party,
Oue of the committee bad entered the follow
ing protest to its proceedings :
Protest or R. J. Moses, of Flobida.
The uudersigned having obtaiuod leave to file
bis protest agaiust the tcsoluliou iu the following
words:
{.Here was inserted the resolution adopted by
tbe committee ou credentials.]
Adopted by the Committee ou Credentials, be
fore whom canio the two delegations from the
State of N. York,—known tbe oue as tho Utica,
aud the other as the Syracuso delegations,—both
claiming seats iu the National Democratic Conven
tion, now beiug held at Baltimore.
The undersigned, in pursuance of leave grant
ed protests agaiust the resolution.
First, because it exceeds the power of this
committee, no power having been given to said
committee by the convention to prescribe tests,
but only to examino the facts in dispute between
said delegations, out of which the contest of right
ful delegation arises; and further, to report the
same to the convention, with or without uu opiu.
ion u|iou the merits, as the committee might d-em
most advisable.
Second, that if tho publicly proclaimed political
doctrines of tbo constituency of either of the dele
gations is their supreme law, aud no pledge which
said delegation might take to abide tbe nomina
tions, would bo Grading upon their constituen
cy, or render them democratic, if the principles
which they proclaim as their political creed,
are iu violation uf the constitution of tho United
States.
’ Third.—In tho opinion of the undersigned, the
doctrines tot forth by the Utica Convention violate
the equality of the States—are repugnant to the
letter and spirit uftbe Constitution, mid dangerous
to the safety ofthe Federal Union. Aud while these
doctrines still continue to be publicly'proclaimed
the political creed ofthe Utica Democracy, of whom
the Utica delegates are but the special agents, the
uudersigned could, under no circumstances, hold
political fellowship, consultation or association
with said delegation; aud for these reasons voted
against any resolution which it might by any pos
sibility be inferred that he would acknowledge
that a pledge (by any agent with limited powers,)
to support the Democratic - nominations of the
Baltimore Convention, could purgo the uuattoued
political heresies of their principles.
Respectfully, U. J. Moses;
Member of Committeo on Credentials.
The following, in the shape of a preamble and
resolutions, is tue report ou the final action of the
committee:
Whereas the committee having adopted a resolu
tion that it would not proceed to the investigation
of the claims of the contesting delegates from the
Stato of New York to a seat in this Convention un
til the respective claimants would agree that they
would abide by the decision of this Convention aud
support the nominees, whether the decision of the
Convention should be in favor uf or agaiust tbe
claims of such claimants; and the Utien and Here,
miker delegates, us they are called, having refused
to euter into such agreement, and •tiered a protest
thereto, and no credentials; oi*l the Syracuso
and Albany delegates having agreed thereto,
aud the committee having proceeded to examine
the credentials of file Syracuse aid Albany dele
gates.
Resolved, That the said delegation from tbe
State of New York, designated by the uauie of tho
Syracuse and Albany delegation are entitled to
seats iu this Convention.
The Convention then adjourned to 9 o’clock to
morrow morning.
Third Dnjr.
Wednesday, May 24, 1848.
Mr. Yancey obtained tho floor, nud ottered a
resolution that, as the Convention had heard the
arguments of the respective delegations from New
York, the members appointed by the Syracuse and
Albany State Conventions be admitted as the reg
ularly constituted delegates to seutsas members uf
this Convcution.
The chair decided the resolution not to be now
iu order, aud Mr. Yancey then moved that tho rc-
port of the Committee ou Creiicutials iu this case,
and the amendmeiit thereto, lie taken up for con
sideration, which motion prevailed, and Mr. Y. pro
ceeded to advocate the adoptioa of the report, for
the reason that the arguments of the Uuruburuer
delegates hod satisfied him that upon tbe subject
of shivery they did nut represent the due trines of
the Democratic party.
On tho conclusion of Mr. Yancey’s speech and
motion for tho previous qucstiul, great excitement
aud confusion arose iu the Cuuveutiou, which the
President promptly interposed to arrest. He rose
and addressed tho Convention for some moments.
He called upon them iu tho strongest aud most em
phatic mauuer to preserve the order aud decorum
ofthe body, lie appealed to tho individual
members of the Convention, and urged them
as the representatives of the whole Democra
cy of the Uuiou, as Americas citizens and gen
tlemen, to preserve order aud dignity iu their do
liberatoas.
Tho eyes of tho whole nation were now fixed
upon them, and it was due to themselves, aud to
their country and its glorious institutions, that
peace and harmony, order, decorum, and dignity,
should characterize tbe proceedings of this impor
tant assembly. He called npou the Convention to
aid him in preserving order and decorum iuits

house became immediately still and orderly, and
ndjonrued uutil 5 o’clock; every member retaining
his seat until"the adjournment was pronounced.—
Most of the members of tbe Convention seemed
highly gratified at tbe course of their President,
aud were seen surrounding and shaking him by
the hand, and congratulating him on the happy
effect of his interposition.
After a few remarks from Mr. Howard, tho con
vention adjourned to 5 o’clock, p. w.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention assembled pursuant to adjourn
ment at five o’clock, and proceeded to the transac
tion of the busiuess before it.
Mr. Meade offered tbe following as a substitute
fur tbo resolution of tbe committee:
Resolved, That thin Convention, having beard
the statements and arguments of both delegations
from tbe State of New York, and beiug satisfied
that the Syracuse Convention was regularly con
vened according to usage, and bad full authority to
prescribe the roles by which the democratic party
of New Y’ork should be organized, and that tbe
roles prescribed by that Convention bave not been
since abrogated by any competent authority,
is of opinion that the delegation usually called
tho Syracuse and Albany Delegation, are tbe
legitimate representatives of tbo democracy of
Now Y’ork.
Resolved therefore, That said delegation be and
they are hereby admitted as inembersof this Con
vention.
Mr. McAllister, of Georgia, said that these con
tending delegations of New Y’ork, had come here
and requested this Convention to decide between
been embodied as the sentiments ofthnt delegation
he then should have had nothing to influence his
actiou bnt the credentials of tho members. They
had been threatened with the indignation of New
Y’ork. He read from the.resolutionsof the Demo
cratic Convention of Georgia, in. reference to sla
very, as the principles of tho whole Democratic
party. lie sympathized with tbe New Y’ork De
mocracy, he liad sacrificed himself at home by his
adbureuce to Mr. Van Huron, and he could not be
lieve tiiat the Democratic party of New Y’ork were
about to forsake their triends. If they did, lie
should feel that the most serious blow which lie
had received for his adherence to Mr. Vau Bu-
ren had been received through the bosom ot his
friends.
Mr. R. P. Thompson expressed his surprise at
the grounds upou Which the gentlemen from Al
abama had based the resolution which he had off
ered. excluding tho Barnburners from this Conven
tion because they had expressed an opinion in op
position to his own views on the question of slave
ry—to say tlie Democracy of New York that we
had turned them out because they were u tittle
wrong ou the subject of the Wibuot Proviso. As
well might they propose to the delegation of Pen
nsylvania such a test on the question of the tariff
oP42. He aud the delegation who acted with
him protested against turuiug them oat on such
grouuds, and therefore it was that he now proposed
to offer the following resolution, which would be
in order.
Whereas the Democracy of the Stato of New
Y’ork have scut to this Convention two different
delegations, each claiming to be the legitimate re
presentatives of that State, aud whereas after a
full argument ofthe question before this Conven
tion by tbe respective parties, it is difficult for
members of this Convention to decide iu the prem
ises, without distracting the Democracy of the
Stato of Now Y’ork and of the Uniun : therefore,
with a view to preserve the harmony of the party.
Resolced. That this Convention decline to decide
the conflicting claims of suid New Y’ork delega
tion, aud refer the whole matter to the Democracy
of tiie State of New Y’ork, without prejudice to
either party.
Mr. Strange, from North Carolina, followed.—
lie said it was seldom that the Xtate of North
Carolina, followed. He said it was seldom that
the Stato of North Carolina, was heard either
here, or in the couucils of the nation. They had
not before been heard iu this Convention, lie bad
como hero with the determination, to admit both
sets—for he had believed this to be tiie safest
course. But after the declarations made—the re
fusal which they had given to the committee—it
would not do, Their vote, if admitted, would
now be death to kny Southern man who should
recive it. lie regretted that the question of slave
ry had been introduced at all.
Mr. King reiterated what he had said before,
iu regard to the grounds upou which their claims
were to be decided, and seme explanations took
place botweeu Mr. Bayly, Mr. Dickinson and Mr.
Yancey as to slavery.
Mr. Strange proceeded, and was remarking
upon tbe test made hereby the Barubuncrdelega
tion. tbe Wibuot Proviso—as evidence of tue
character ofthe Utica Convention, when.
Sir. Cnmbreleug rose aud said that the gentle
men was entirely mistaken in supposing that the
delegation had hero made that a test. Ou the
Couirary, tho Utica Convention had expressly
protested agaiust introducing that question into
this Convention.
Mr.Strange proceeded to argue that the commit
tee, of which he was a member, had doue the best
that they possibly could do under the circumstan
ces, and that it was a great pity that the Conven
tion had not adopted their report, without goiug
into this discussion. His first idea on the ques
tion had been to admit both should be turned uut.
After all that had occurred here, the proper course
now was to receive one of them.
Mr. Hamiegan rose, simply he said for the pur
pose uf moving the previous question. He how
ever, at the request uf several members, yielded
tbe floor for explanatlbiis. 1st, bjra uiemtionrum
Ohio, iu reference to a remark by Mr. King, this
morning, that tiie State or Ohio had passed a reso
lution against extending slavery into new territo
ry; and 2d, by Mr. Turney, of Tennessee, as to his
cuurse iu the committee, and his views as to the
powers of tiiat committee.
Mr. Turney said he had not supposed the com
mittee was appointed to determine the claims of
those delegates to a standing iu the democratic
family, but simply to decide upon their creden
tials.
He had thought the test proposed improper—
such as honorable men and uu honorable constitu
ency. would Jiot be satisfied with. He had, there
fore, opposed tbo resolution. Now a new issue
had beou raised, whether a supporter of tbe doc
trines of the Wibuot proviso could be a Democrat.
If this was to bo tho test what was to become uf
Pennsylvania, nnd of the Democracy of other
Slates? It had been said that this delegation desir
ed to be rejected that they might raise this issue
elsewhere. If so he would not gratify them.
Mr. Cambreleug here rose and said that be was
authorized by the delegation tu disclaim this.
Mr. Turney had a high opinion of that gentle
man's integrity aud veracity, and was hound to
believe him. But there was oue man upou that
delegation whose principles he had long doubted,
as they had been doubted by the Democracy of
the Uuiou—a member whose course uo oue looked
upou with more detestation than ho did. But he
desired to put an end to the political small talk in
New York.
YVhat course could they pursue to accomplish
this. His course was either to admit both or re
ject both; not to create further difficulty iu that
State by admitting one aud rejecting the other.
He then renewed, agreeably to tbo pledge given
So both delegations from New Y’ork were de
cided to be entitled to seats, in the Convention,
with the right to cast conjointly a number of
votes equal to tlio electoral vote of tiiat State,
and tiie Pro-ideal declared that they were so
admitted,
with all tbo privileges of political brotherhood.
Mr. Usnuegaa made a few explanatory remarks
in tlio course of which he read the resolutions of
instructions by the State of Indiana.
He then ottered the following resolution, which
lie read, sent to the chair, and moved the previous
question:
Resolved, That tlio New Y’ork delegation,known
as tho Syracuse delegation, are rightiuliy entitled
to ca.it the electoral vote of said State iu this Con
vention.
Mr. Turney moved to lay the resolution of Mr.
Hauriegan on the table, which was agreed to—
yeas 167, nays 95.
So the resolution was laid on the table.
Mr. Sanderson, of Pennsylvania, obtained the
floor, and offered a resolution that this Convention
do now proceed to nominate a candidate for Presi
dent of uie United States, aud moved the previous
question.
Mr. Carabreleng, at this stage of tiie proceedings,
rose, aud requested permission ou the part ot him
self and colleagues (tho Barnburners) to withdraw
from the Cuuveutiou, and leave was accordingly
granted.
The chair was about to stato tbo question on
Air. Sanderson's resolution, wlieu Mr. Ramsay, of
Teunessee, hud leave to present a communication
from the President of the Uuited States, which
was read, declining a re-nomination for tlio Presi
dency, iu couformity with his previous declara
tions.
The main question was then ordered to be put,
and the resolution was adopted without discussion.
Air. McCandless, of Pennsylvania, nominated
for President of tho Uuited States James Buchan
an, of Pennsylvania.
Air. Powhatan Ellis, of Mississippi, nominated
Lewis Cass, of Michigan.
Air. Hamlin, ufAIainc, nominated Levi Wood
bury, of New Hampshire, aud tiie nomination was
seconded by Mr, Hibbard,of tbe New Hampshire
delegation.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot for
President. The whole number of votes now be
ing 255—173 necesssry to a choice—aud no candi
date having that number, the Convention proceed
ed to a fourth ballot, which resulted as follows,
and in the nomination for President of the United
Stutes, (by the Democratic National Convention,)
of Lewis Cass, of Alichigau:

New York, when called, was again 6ileut.
Whole number of votes 254.
Necessary lor a choice 170.
The President then declared that Lewis Cass,
under the rules adopted by the Cuuveutiou, was
nominated us the candidate of the Democratic par
ty for Presideut ofthe United States.
Speeches were made by delegates from Penn
sylvania, Alurylaud, New Hampshire, Tenues,
see, Connecticut, and Alaiue, pledging their
States respectively for majorities iu favor of the
nominee.
Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, said that State had
tlireo times voted for Audrew Jackson, twice for
Alurtin Van Buren, and once for James K. l’olk—
never for a Whig, and never had she beeu a Whig
State. She will adhere to principle, aud when the
principles of the platform upon which the nominee
of thisCuiivontiuu is to go before tho people had
been laid down by tbo Convention, if those prin
ciples were in accordance to the instructions which
Alabama had given to her delegates, Alabama
would support that nominee.
Alessrs. Winston, of Alaoama, (delegate at large
with Air. Yaucey'.) said the delegation from that
State had come into tbo Convention as delegates,
aud as honorable men were bouud to support its
nominees. He understood, bo thought, the State
of Alabama well, and as one of tho thirty States ol
the Union, she would not set up heruelt as a dicta-

The chair stated that if tbe previous question
were sustained, the vote would first be ou the a-
ineudmeut of the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Bart
ley, to Air. Y’ancey’s amendment ou the resolution
of Mr. Toucey. The chuir was about to put tbe
vote ou sustaining tbo motion fur tho previous
question, when
Mr. Clarke, ofKentucky, moved to lay the whole
subject on the table.
Tbo chair decided this motion not to be in order.
Air. Clarke appealed from this decision, but tho
Convention sustained the Chuir.
The question was then taken by States on sus
taining tbe motion lor the previous question, and
it was decided iu the affirmative, 201 to 56, as fol
lows:
Y’eas—Maine 8, Vermont 6, Rhode Island 4,

Mr. Bartley then modified his amendment (of
fered yesterday) so as to admit both delegations,
but restricting tbe vote of tbe State in the Conven
tion to the number of votes to which she is euti
tied in the Electoral College.
A motion was made to adjourn, bnt negatived.
The question was then taken by Stutes on the
amendment of Mr. Bartley, (admitting both sets,)
aud the vote stood J2G iu the affirmative, to 125 in
tho negative:

A motion tu adjourn was then, at half past eight
o’clock, made, and decided in the affirmative, and
much harm us do another ultra set uf factiouisls
at the North. He believed that Alabama would
give her voto to the nominee of the Convex-’
tioiL
Mr. Porter King, of the same State, said Alaba
ma would support tbe nominee. Only let tbe
North do as tbo gentleman from Massachusetts
had promised, aud as a Dcmoorat—though ayoung
democrat—ho would pledge that State to the nom
inee of the Couveutiuu.
Mr. Aloore, of the same State, looked upon Gen.
Cass as one of the greatest aud purest of American
patriots. His services in the warof 1812, and his
services during tbe war with Mexico, were known
and appreciated in Alabama. Patriotic words,
from tbe mouth of Lewis Cuss, wbcu those ol
opposition from other quarters came like led to
the hearts of our soldiers in Mexico, hud sustain
ed them in battle and cheered them on to vic
tory. The {State of Alabama would Yote for Lew
is Cass.
Air. Jackson, of tbo some State, took a some
what similar ground to that advanced by AJr.
Yancey. He desired that, ns iu 1844, the conven
tion should lay down its platform ol principles,
aud if iu couformity with the views expressed by
that State, he would pledge her vote for the nom
inee of the couveutiou.
Air. King, of tho same State, said that North
Alabama, the district from which he came, wonld
f ive its support to Geu. Cass. He had come here
nuwing that the great pilot of tbo democratic
party, Jas. K. l’olk, was about to leave the helm,
aud had lookedcubout fur oue to supply h s place,
aud North Alabama would bo satisfied with the
selection which had been made.
Air. Bowden, of tbo same State, said he came
here as the friend of the great aud glorious Levi
Woodbury—who had wintered with us aud sum
mered with us. They never had to ask whero
Levi Woodbury was. Alabama loves him; but
because sbe loves bim, sho does not hate others.
Whatever might be tho result iu other States,
there was no doubt about Alabama—uo more
doubt than there was of Illinois. V, ben Illinois

Alabama will quit Ho would say of his dis
tinguished friend lrom Alabama, (Air. Y’ancey,)
that bis virtue, if it is a virtue, is a virtue which

It appealed, therefore, that the uominati) n
of General Cass was unanimously adopted by tl.o
delegates of tbe several States, with the ex
ception of New Y’ork, Alabama and Florida, tlio
former not having voted at all, aud the two lat
ter perm ittiug their votes to aloud as cast ou tlio

On motion the Convcution adjourned to’ 5 o’

Hunker delegates from Now Y’ork, (bat thorcso.

Mr. Foreman, at tile request of several gentle
men, withdrew his resolution, disclaiming that bis
object and intenjion was to have an expression uf
opinion agaiust the Wilmot Proviso.
Air. Cone, of Georgia, then presented the fol
lowing resolution :
