The decision of the convention started another small tidal wave of secession and Virginia retired. North Carolina followed, then Tennessee, and a portion of Maryland. Later California and Delaware withdrew with a part of Kentucky, and President Cushing became so disgusted that he resigned his position and bolted himself. The convention finally proceeded to ballot for President, and two ballots were had, with the following result: ══════════════╤═══════════════════════════════╦═══════════════════════════════ │ 1ST BALLOT. ║ 2D BALLOT.
