THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
We understand the democratic members of Congress feel some delicacy in meddling, in the slightest degree, with the National Convention. But, when they found themselves appealed to upon the time and place of its meeting by various meetings of the people, and when they found the State Convention of Georgia invoking their interposition, they could not reconcile it to themselves to abstain altogether from expressing some opinion upon the question.
They accordingly met and conferred together; and the result is now laid before our readers--being a respectful recommendation to the democrats of the Union to meet, as of old, according to the usages of their party, at the usual place and time of meeting. In taking this course, they do not pretend to dictate to their fellow-citizens, but most respectfully recommend the former course of the democratic national convention to the adoption of their republican brethren. The following is the official account of the proceedings of the meeting of the republicans of both houses on Monday night:
Democratic National Convention.-
Meeting of the Democratic Senators and Members.--At a meeting of the democratic Senators and members of the House of Representatives, held in the Senate Chamber of the United States, on the evening of the 24th of January, 1848,
Gen. Sam. Houston, Senator from Texas, was called to the chair; and
Mr. Richard Brodhead, of the House of Representatives, from Pennsylvania,
appointed Secretary.
Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas, from the joint committee appointed at a previous meeting,
reported the following resolution:
Resolved, That it be respectfully recommended to our democratic friends throughout the Union, to hold the proposed National Convention, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, at the usual time and place, to wit: on the 4th Monday of May next at Baltimore.
Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, moved to strike out Baltimore; which motion, after some discussion, was not agreed to.
Mr. Bradbury, of Maine, moved to strike out the 4th Monday of May, and insert the 4th of July; which motion, after some discussion, was also decided in the negative.
The resolution submitted by Mr. Sevier was then unanimously adopted.
On motion of Mr. Turner, of Illinois,
it was
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the officers; and that all the democratic editors be respectfully requested to publish the same.
SAM. HOUSTON, Chairman.
Richard Brodhead, Secretary.
