[Homer_J_Simpson]

The full report of Wednesday's proceedings having been received too late for insertion in our entire edition of yesterday, we reproduce the following portion:

J.P. REED introduced a resolution, first ordering the President to appoint a Cashier and Deputy-Cashier; second, ordering the Clerk to superintend the printing of the Convention; third, that reporters for public journals shall be allowed access to the hail for the purpose of reporting; fourth, that the regular hour for meeting shall be 10 o'clock, subject to a special order; fifth, that an alphabetical list of their members, with their Post-office address, be provided; sixth, that a journal be published and laid on the tables of the members before the time of meeting.

Mr. KEITT moved to amend by substituting 11 o'clock. Accepted.

Mr. MIDDLETON moved to strike out the last resolution. Objection was made.

Mr. SUNON desired to know how far the resolution extended respecting the admission of reporters.

Mr. ENGLIS moved that the reporters of the State only be admitted.

Mr. QUATTLEBAUM moved that each resolution be voted on separately. Carried.

The reporters' resolution is still up.

Mr. CREVIS said that a Convention of the people, or a deliberative body in discussion should sit with closed doors. To sit with open doors was essential to the satisfaction of the public mind. Visitors, whether by States or foreign countries, look at us otherwise than unfavorably. Let us sit at all times with open doors, till some question should be discussed among ourselves. "We must satisfy the public mind. We had better get a more suitable hall, so that we can more readily sit with closed doors. He moved to lay it on the table.

Mr. MEANS seconded the motion.
