At the South and West that dis cuseion has been extended and thorough, and the views expressed by Mr. Whitney have been put forward by many men who entertain them, and they have been fully considered and weighed, and after all of this the judgment of an overwhelming fn joesty of the party in these sections is in evidence by the class of delegates who have been chosen to represent ft in the C(hieago Convention.
