Mr. Kom then read a statement giving his reasons for the conclusions of the majority of the Committee on Cre- dentials. He argued that the secession of the delegates did create vacancies, and the resolution adopted at the Charleston Couvention recognised such vacancies and called on the States to fill them. The minority of the Committee, while denying that vacancies exist, proceed der their argument absurd by filling those very va- Ten States themselves had recognised vacancies appointing and rencerediting delegates to Baltimore. The credentials of the Mississippi delegates bore on their fice the fact that they were appointed on the 80th of May, and many were new names, The Alabama cre- dentials of the old delegates bore on their face the date of their appointment, not to this Convention, but to Richmond, and lower down they were accro- dited to this Convention, ‘They might have ‘been appointed also to the Chicago Convention, but what democrat would desire to admit men on such a roving commission to a democratic convention.

The vote of Massachusetts in favor of the seceders is eight to five; Pennsylvania, seventeen to ten; New Jersey, four and a half to two anda half; North Carolina, eight to two; Tennessee, ten to two; Kentucky, ten % two; California, four to none; Oregon, three to none. ‘The resolution of the majority report as to Arkansas is | called to order by a delegate from Minnesota, whe ‘Adopted.
