 Mir. Braadenburg, of Monroe, offered the following:

 Resolred, By this Convention, in acco.d ance with Democratic usage, and to ensgr' harmony in the choice of Representative, tha two-third's or the votes of this Convention shall be necessary to the nomination of tht Democratic candidate for Congress.

 To which Mir. Gray offered as an amend ment:

 ReSofred, That, we now proceed to ballot and that no gentleman receive the nomination of this Convention until he has received i; majority of all the votes given.

 When Mr. Pelham moved to lay the origi nal and amendment on the table. Mr. Baker of Independence, would iurthe amend by the following;

 Rcsolrcd, Therefore that Committee o three be appointed to examine the proceed ings of the various county conventions an, ascertain wbat counties have expressed choice as to Senators and for whom, and tha said committee report to the convention ol tomorrow morning, with a view to futur
