Your petitioners would further repre

The uhaiimali aaked the geiillemuu's pardon

Tim Senatorial District uf Luz-iruo and Colum
biaCounticsAVas taken up. The gclilltinaii claim
ing seats wure Mr. Koom, uf Lu.eine ; and Mr.
Cul-lwull of Columliia.
Mr. Frick moved that .Yr. Caldwell he admitt
ed to a seat in thn Coiiventtou, as ike Senatorial
Delegate from Ljzume and Columbia counties.
The question elicited a apirilvd ami lengthy
discunsion in which a number of tho mcuuets
look pait.
Mr. Collin:; ofl.ui-rue claimed that I.u.erne
had as good a l ight to select a Senatorial Delcale
us Columbia, She had nearly double ihe nuinbei
tl volors, yet Columbia had always h id the Sun
al, trial Delegite. The Democratic Ciunly
Slan-liug Committee had 1 peilVct right to hcl
ihe Delegate.
M. Mercur thought thai the fa-'tn IaUd by I'uu
geiilleuiiri Irutn Luzerne, wore inconlioveillble,
Luzerne hu bueii very lenient toColuiubia. Here
was Luzerne with a population of from one hall
to one thcl m-.ttt than Columbia; and she had
baeil lor six ) ears without a Senatorial lie pre-
seutativd. 1 here appeis to Iiu cumlicting state
ineiits. Tho prim wy muetiugs of Luzerne did
not appoint their Senatoiiil Delegalcs but Dele
gated to thu Standing Cotninittcu the power to ap.
point. This Convention was not going to decide
whether or not they had given too much power to
that Standing Committee. They have acted
They have given their man as Senatorial Delegate
Columbia has presented her man and it was now
for the Convention to chouse which was entitled
to a eat. For the sake e-f peace and harmony, for
six years Luzerne has right ol appointing a Sen
atorial D.dejte io Columbia county, What righ
lias Columbia co. to claim the privilege forercr,
if sho has it much lunger -die will dim it byright
of limitation, an.l siy to L'ucrne, "you have no
right you have conoedcJ it lo hk lor six years;
and we intend lo keep it." Out ol'common justice
Luz M-.ie should have tho man j and Mr. Mercur.
would therefore mvu lo amend by striking out
the name of the gentleman fuun Columbia, and
inserting lliat of Mr Ko-ns, of Luzerne.
Mr. Flick said that the Convention uf Luzerne
had n-aninated iu Il.tprcaseiilive Delegates to thi
Coiiveiition, but InJ n -t i,c;itiuued a Senatorial
Delegate, they had left thai power to the Standing
Comlttee; it w.3 certainly delegating very great
and extraordinary powers to that County Commit
tee. This Convention he presumed was not go
ing to recognize nich powers in and Committee.
Vhcie v-:i- Col-unbia County's rights to appoint
conferee to coitfcr, with regard lo this appoint
ment.
After consislerable dissciisaion, the question re
curring on the amendment admitting Mr IC-ions as
ibs Senatorial Delegate, it resulted as follow, :
yens5d ; nays i
Aid Mr K ions was permitted to talc-J his seat
in the Convention.
Thefill-iwihg resolution w as offered by Mr Cut

to nominate suitable persons for officers
