PRESIDENT: The committee to whom was referred the petition of sundry loyal citizens of the Fourth Senatorial District, praying for the expulsion of Prince L. Hudgens, one of the delegates in this Convention from said District, have had the same under consideration, and respectfully beg leave to submit the following report: Your committee are satisfied, from the evidence before them, (which is herewith transmitted to the Convention,) that Prince L. Hudgens, at sundry times during the year 1861, and at divers places in the said District, did publicly avow sentiments highly treasonable in their nature, and well calculated in their tendency to excite the people of said District to an armed resistance to the Government of the United States; and not only so, but that on one occasion he was seen, with gun in hand, leading a body of armed rebels in the direction of a rebel camp, thus showing a perfect disregard of the solemn oath he took when he was admitted as a member of this Convention, as well as a full determination upon his part to aid in a rebellion which was then being inaugurated, and is still in progress, every step of which has been marked with misery, desolation and bloodshed. Your committee would therefore report the following resolution, and recommend its adoption: Resolved, That Prince L. Hudgens, delegate to this Convention from the Fourth Senatorial District, be, and he is hereby, expelled from his seat in this body. IRWIN, Chairman. The report was agreed to, and the resolution adopted. JEFFERSON CITY, June 22d, 1863.
