was approved. Mr. SUMMERS:--I am directed by the Committee on Credentials to report that they find the following gentlemen duly accredited as members of the Convention: _New York._--David Dudley Field, William Curtis Noyes, James S. Wadsworth, Erastus Corning, Amaziah B. James, James C. Smith, Addison Gardner, Greene C. Bronson, John A. King, John E. Wool. _Massachusetts._--John Z. Goodrich, John M. Forbes, Richard P. Waters, Theophilus P. Chandler, Francis B. Crowninshield, George S. Boutwell, Charles Allen. _Missouri._--John D. Coalter, Alexander W. Doniphan, Waldo P. Johnson, Aylett H. Buckner, Harrison Hough. On motion of the respective delegations the following gentlemen were added to the committee raised on the resolution of Mr. GUTHRIE: _New York._--Mr. Field. _Missouri._--Mr. Doniphan. _Tennessee._--Mr. Zollicoffer.

Mr. CLAY:--I move that the time for the report of the committee be extended until Monday next. As in the mean time there will be little business for the Convention to do, and that of a formal character, it might be as well to adjourn from this time until Monday; and I move further, that if delegates arrive from States now unrepresented, they may present their credentials to the committee, and if no question arises on them, they may then select a member of the committee on Mr. GUTHRIE'S resolution, and report his name to the Secretary of that committee. Mr. SEDDON:--I object to an adjournment until Monday. We can meet here to-morrow and do any business which may come before us. The several motions of Mr. CLAY, with the alteration suggested by Mr. SEDDON, were then agreed to without a division. Mr. ELLIS:--I move that the President be requested to issue cards of admission to the members and officers of this Convention. Which motion was adopted. Mr. HITCHCOCK:--I would like to understand whether we all cons
