"Nominations for delegates to the State

AFTERNOON, sasszoic.
Thle Convention • re-assembled tit ' a
quarter past Awe o'clock, delay having
been occasioned 'in the preparation of
printed lists of• delegates. .
_,
• Before the voting commenced, Mr. F.'
M. Edniwidseri, moved that the dale=
gates chosen to the State Convention be
instructed to vote for Gen. Geary for
Governor. . ,
Mr. J. S. Robb opposed the 'resolution,
and hoped It would not be insisted on.
While not opposed to Gen. Geary, he de
sired the delegates to go uninstructed, in
order that nothing -might be thrown in
the way of Judge Williams as a candi
date for.the Supreme Bench.

- Capt. C. W. Batchelor opposed•the res.
ointionfor a like reason. fie came to
1 1 the Convention a Geary man, but be
' lieved it nest the delegates should go un
instructed. _
The resolution was opposed by Eton.
Russell Erred, R. H. Davis and others.
General A. L. Pearson warmly advoca
ted the resolution. There was no.•other
candidate for Supreme Court beside
Judge Williams, and his nomination
was a foregone conclusion. The majority
of the counties in the State had instruct
ed for Gen. Geary, and be could see no
reason whatever why Alleghev county
could not do likewise, and lead • the van
in his support. He had been a good
Governor, was'an excellent soldier, and
should be re-elected. • .
Gen. P.'a remerks•elleited marked ap

The question Wee taken end the reso
lution
Hon. Russell Errett desired that his
name be stricken off the list of those
suggested for delegates. Not believing
it politic to instruct the delegates as indi
cated, he desired to be consistent, and
therefore hoped his name would be with
drawn.:
W. C. Moreland, Esq.,, for a' like
reason, desired his name, to be ,with
drawn.
C. W. Robb, Esq., moved that-nny
' other - gentlemen whose names-were on

A resolution was adopted that those

to say whether 0, 1 not, they,: honestly or
fair l represented !bier constituents.
. ett saldthe resolution had been
approved by two-thirds of - the Joint
Committee, and that was sufficient justi
flcation for his presenting it. He pro
tested against the gentleman "ringing
l i p n ewspaper's, when none were men- I
tioned. The resolution was nothing
more, he repeated, than the expression
of a well -recognized principle, and it was
aothing more than proper that the Con
vention should express its dissent from
the wholesale abuse of members of the
party who had labored zealously and
faithfully in its behalf. Mr. E. continued
at some length in favor of the resolution.
C. W. Robb, Esq., was opposed to the
resolution, and in high-flown language
depicted the evils certain to flow from
such trammeling of the press as was pro-
posed. Farewell, he said, to honesty
and good government, if it should , come
to pass that • the press Should not be at
liberty to criticise public servants.,He
referred to the Comme - rcial, and aaid hat
paper had done - noble service in the Cause
of Republicanism. He paid a high com
pliment to Mr. Errett, for his 'course as
Senator, and said no, member of ; the Con-
Vention or citizen Of the coutity would
link his name with ,sorruption in any
respect, nor would any one else do so in
this comma/IST- - • .• , , • • i'i
Mr. Errett —lt has been don'ts 'the
the
paper you speak cif.' • -
A. delegate, sellopece—Yes, Major, but
it took it all back.
Mr: Joseph Dilworth, of the
tee,Commit
e made a feW remarks, begging the
Convention' not to approve of the resolu
tion, because the Committee had not, and
because to do so might injure the Commer
cial, , A , ltiob, watts very influential, paper.
IsaiitrCohen; Esq., who had beet wait
ing his turn for a. speech, now obtained
hit oppolitesity. He endorsed all that had
been said concerning ex-Senator Errett,
whom he held in the highest esteem,
endorsed all that had been said by Mr.
Carnahan about the rights of the press,
but he deprecated the personal character
of the discussion, and,asked what the
Republicans of - Allegeny county, in
Convention assembled, had to do with
these 'Patters, at this time. He would
be loth, indeed; to assist in stabbing so
valuable a paper as the Commercial had
been and sincerely-hoped the resolution
would be struck out of the report of the
Committee. lie apostrophized the free
dom of the press, and concluded his re
marks by demolishing Napoleon 111. for
• his interference with that glorious right.
Mr. Errett begged the indulgence ol the
Convention for. a Word. He asked the
opposing gentlemen to point out in what
way:the resolution proposed to interfere
with the liberty of the press. The right
of newspapers to criticise the action of
public servants was not denied. He had
been too long connected with the press
to fairer interference with its liberty, and
when that was • proposed be would be
found amongst those clamoring the
loudest against such innovation.
Maj. Slagle thought the resolution had
been entirely misapprehended. - It was
intended as nothing more than a disap
proval of the onslaught made upon the
delegation from this county in the last
Legislature. With ono exception, (who
would be nameless) he believed the men
sent from this county to Harrisburg, last
winter, were honest, and had faithfully
discharged their trust.: In this belief he
, thopght the resolution not an improper
one.
H. C. liackrell, Esq , favored the...Faso- '
thtion, and saw no justitleatlon for the
"lugging in" of the newspaper question
in tMs discussion. :But since the news
papers had been referred to, the Commer
du/ -partionlarly; -- he said it wottid be
time ; enough dor- that , taper to talk of
con-at:tier! when it had cleared Its - own
skirts. It might talk of., corruption In
the Republicun party; but' its right to do
I so, by a Copperhead editor, he denied.
1 [Hisses.] Don't do that, gentlemen, we
heard enoug . h of that kind of argument
during the i to var.
Mr. Carnahati said since it had come to
this, he might be permitted to say the
resolution in question was written by the
editor of the Cis ZETT E.
Mai. Rome, Chairmanthe Conven:

- AFTERNOON SESSION.
Re-assembled et the appointed hour.
COMMITTEE OHCREDENTIA.LB REPORT,
Mr. Joseph' Hartman, from the Com -
I lnittee on Credentials, presented the fol
lowing report:
"GENTLEMEN:' The Committee on Cre
dentials respectfully report that Messrs.
Friday and McCreary, of the • Tenth
ward, having been voted for at the regu
lar place of holding elections, and having
received a majority of all the votes cast,
are entitled to seats in this Convention.
Also, that Louis Straub, of the Fourth
ward, Allegheny, is entitled to a seat in
stead Louis Moul.
Mr: Fof
erguson made a motion for the
reading of all the papers handed to the
Committee in the contested cases.
Mr. John' W. Riddell objected. He
thought the . Committee was the proper
' authority to decide upon the matter. If
one side was heard by the Convention,
then the other in fairness should be sim
ilarly treated, and time would be thus
uselessly consumed.
A point of order Was raised by a dele
gate that the vote was upon the adoption
of the report, :and not upon a consider
ation of who was entitled to the seat.
The Chair decided thepolnt'well taken,
when the question was put, resulting in
the adoption of the report by a large
majority.
CHANGE IN . DELEGATES.
The Chairman , read a communication
from John Anderson, delegate frem Rob
inson tewnship, asking that Isaac Wal
ton be substituted in his place and bil
-1 titled to a seat in the Convention.
Oa motion, the communication was re
-
1 ceived and the change agreed to.
A motion wag made that the election
I be next proceeded with by marking,
delegates, to vote, at. the same time for
Senate and Assembly candidates. 'Oar

The list of the nominees was reatiover,

Respectfully,
GEORGE WILSON.
The communication was accepted and
the name of Mr. Wilson thought to be
accordingly withdrawn.
WHAT CAME AFTER.
A Delegate—Now, Mr. President, since.
this ,withdrawal has been accepted, what
is to be done with the votes ' which have
airehdy been cast in favor of Mr. Wilson?
The Chairman—The Convention has
decided the matter, and there can be no
further discussion upon it.
The balloting then went on, but it was
evident from the commotion and excited
conversation among a number of the del
egates that the result was not satisfac
tory.
A. few minutes after, Mr. Wilson made
his appearanee outside the temporary
r,ailing separating the delegates from the
spectators. and was quickly surrounded
by the disaffected parties, when - an ani
mated discussion ensued, in which "for ,
gery," "never authorized it," &C., were
clearly distinguishable.
CoL Allen now rose and said ,(excited
ly): Mr. President, I have just learned
that the communication just read is a
forgery. Mr. Wilson is here f hlinself,
and will explain. I think if - dorrtiption
hasrentered this , Convention we ought to
know it:
Chairman The communication :was
handed to me by
. a delegate and I 'sup
posed it was all right.
Mr. Riddell—l move that Mr. Wilson
be allowed to speak.
A Delegate—Speeches are out of order
in this place. We don't „want -any ex
planations or speeches. --
(Several volces—"Wilson, Wilson, lit .
', hint go on.") -
Mr. Riddell pressed his. motion which
was put and decidell in the 'affirmative
by a large majority'vote.
MR. Vlhsex's ItxistlMlS. '
Mr. Wilson then came forward to the
platform and spoke as follows:
"Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Convention: Thati dictated that commu
nication-I do not deny. But that it was
handed in here at the present time with
my consent I most emphatically , deny.
I never intended it to be presented until
a certain time. I never intended and did
not consent to have -it presented on this
f ballot or at this stage of the 'proceedings,
rand the person who handed it in did so
without authority from me. Ido not
recognize the action and still consider
myself a candidate. (Applause.) That's
all the explanation I have to make."'
Mr. Wilson now retired ,argd much
excitement.
WHO OFFERED Tr?
Col. Allen—Mr. President, who offered
the letter?
Chairman—A delegate named Magee
I believe. •
1,
Col. Allen—ln whose interest?
Chairman—l don't know.
The excitement gradually subsided,
when the votinwas resumed and moved
harmoniously u ntil the eloseof the ballot.
i.THE RESOLUTIONS.

of the Committee on Resolutions.
