FOURTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. "Bautimonn, May 25, 1848, THE HUNKERS AND BARNBURNERS. At nine o’clock this morning the Convention was called to order; journal of yest erday read. ‘The question was stated on agreeing to an amend- ‘ment to the re of the Committee on Credentials, as the instance of Mr. Bartlett, of Ohio, last night, viz.: “That both of the delegations from the State of New York be, and are hereby taken as mem- bers of this Convention, and be entitled to cast the number of votes to which the State is legally entitled to, in the electoral colloge."’ [Two othor amendments were pending.] General Houston arose.

(Applause. ANEW PROPOSITION. Mr. Haxwecax—tI rise for the purpose of offering » resolution, which I feel it to be my duty to do under the solemn instructions of my own State. It was assed by the Democratic State Convention, held at indianapolis, on the 8th of January last, viz. Resolved, That the great democratic party, like the great Mis. sissippi valley, knows no North or South, but like that noble river comprehends both extromes, and, like the constitution, binds to- gether the States by compromise ; effort by the ational logislature to bind the future inhabitants of any portion of our territory to any particular local institutions, to exist in States hereafter to be formed, is ealeulated to form sectional divi- sions, and weaken the tios of ‘this confederacy. Mr, Haxweaax—Without a speech, I send this reso- lution to the chair, and move the previous question. ‘The Paestorxt—Will you send up the resolution ? Mr. Haxxeaax—I will read it. ‘The Presipent—Have you not just read it? Mr. Haxxecan—No, sir. ‘Tho Paesipent—I beg pardon. Mr. Hawxeca read his resolution, as follows, viz.:— Rezolved—That, the delegates of the Syracuse Convention of New York are rightfully entitled to cast the electoral vote of said Stato in this Convention, Mr. Hamuin, of Maine, rose to a question of order. It was this :—The rules of the House of Represen- tatives, under which the Convention was acting, re- quires one day's notice to be given to change or re- scind the rules; besides the Convention has determined the mode and’ manner in which the votes shall be given, The resolution abrogates the rule, and is therefore out of order. The Parsipent—That is good argument against the resolution, but not against the privilege. Mr. Twxxev—Mr, Prosident— The Passivent—You cannot interrupt the chair, sir. Mr. Tuaxey—I want to make a point. The Presioxxr—Certainly, Mr. Tunxxy—I move to lay the resolution upon she table. Mr, Dickinson, however, was permitted to read a pa- per from the Syracuse delegates, protesting that the Convention, by admitting the Barnburners, have in- flicted a serious wrong on the true friends of democra- cy, and insisting that the Hunkers only should be ad- mitted; and he moved that the protest be laid upor the table. ‘The question recurred on laying Mr. Hannegan’s re- solution upon the table. ‘Whon the State of New York was called, previous to taking the vote, a question arose as to whether the de- legates should be entitled to cast their votes. It was finally decided that the delegates, being interested, should not vote. ‘The Secretary called the roll of States, and the reso- lution of Mr. Hannogan, to admit the Hunkers, was laid upon the table, by yeas 157, nays 95, as follows, v ‘and any and every e States.

Mr. Rawsry commenced speaking.—[Cries of “loud- er,’ “louder.”] Elevating his voice :—Mr. President, before the Convention proceed to ballot, I deem it pro- per to remark, that I have received from the President Of the United States a letter, the contents of which 1 am authorized, upon the occurrence of the contingen- cy referred to in it, to communicate to this body.— From informal conversations with delegates whora | have met, in which I have ascertained thelr views and intentions, the contingency has, in my judgment, arisen, upon which it is proper to make Known the true position and wishes of the Presikent, and I_know of no better mole of doing this, than to present the lotter itself, with the request that it be read. “Road,” “read.” ‘The Presipext took the letter, but preliminary to | the reading, put on his spectactes.

He would offer it to the respective conflicting tions from the State of New York, in the hope that two houses of York and Lancaster may be reconciled. ‘The bouquet was offered to the Hunkers, who refus- ed to take it as a pledge of conciliation; neither would the Barnburners it as a token of union. = Pownatran Extis, of Mississippi, arose and no- min LEWIS CASS, OF MICHIGAN, He was proceeding to saya few words in support of ‘is distinguished gentleman,’ when he was remind- ed that the previous question was in operation.

He questioned the propriety of proceeding with the ballot while some of the delegations were absent ; and when all the nominations were made, he would move an adjournment. colonel Garene, of Massachusetts, moved that the Convention pow go into an election.

The spokesman for the delegation (Mr. Mc- Allister) gave five for Woodbury, two for Buchanan, and three for Dallas Mr. Rexprr immodiately arose to a question of or- der, and amidst much confusion, desired to know whe- ther a gentleman not in nomination (Mr. Dallas) could be votedfor? [A voice from the Georgia delegation.— ‘That is our business.’” Mr. McAuister sai he knew not but that Mr. Dallas would be nominated. Mr. Reeser again rose, when oo Presipent called him to order, and ho took his seat. Florida was allowed further time for consultation.— Sul juently a request was made that she be excused altogether from voting on this matter. Mr. Van Swearixany got upon his feet, and said, with much vehomence, that « man who was not a dele- te was attempting to interfere with the Missouri de- legation. I can point him out. That is the man. (Pointing to an individual Much confusion prevailed in that direction, and mem- bers of the Missouri delegation made explanations as to their consultations.

The Presipent—Lewis Cass having received 170 votes—-two-thirds—has therefore received the nomina- tion as candidate for President of the United States. Then loud hurrahs went up; #houts, yells, and screams of deligh 4 were waved, feet stamped, and hands clapped. Great times. The Presiwent—Order, order, (bang, bang] order, [bang.) Gentlemen, you must come to order. The ntleman from Louisiana (Mr. Brice) has risen, and js entitled to the floor. Mr. Tovery—lIs it not in order to ask whether dele- gations have not voted for the candidate’ The Pursionntr—Certainly. [* Yea, it is; go on.”) Mr. Tovcry—It hi ways been the custom to per- mit States in the minority, when a candidate has been selected, to change their votes, so av to make the no- mination unanimons, It was so at the last Convention, The Paersr t—That is not always. (Ha! ha!] The mtleman has a right to add the votes of Connecticut, “Order.""] You can vote, sir. [‘ Order, order, gen- tlemen unuer the galleries.) Does the gentleman from Louisiana yield?

But you would not let it be done t—No, sir. It is now perfectly compe- that the vote be unanimous. Mr. Brres—I have risen for the purpose of submit- | ting a motion to this Convention, which will enable the gentleman from Connecticut to accomplish his ob- ject.

Mr. Humvunevs, of Maryland—I say to this Con- vention, that the democracy of Maryland will receive Genoral Cass with acclamation. The democracy re- member him as taking a brilliant part in a dark period of our history. They know his private character to be as pure as— he Parsipenr (interrupting the gentleman.) ‘The result can be so amended as to declare it 9 unanimous vote. Mr, Van Swranixcen, of Missouri, pledged that State for the democracy with a majority. of fifteen thousand. The announcement was received with cheers, long prolonged. | Mr. Hinnano, of New Hampshire—I pledge the Gra- | nite State to tho nominee of this Convention, (Hur- rah! hurrah!) She willgive a majority that will strike dismay into the hosts of the Federalists, and it will come upon them like an av: from her own eter- | nal hills. (Applause) He was hoartly glad to see such spirit in the Convention. The nomination has been despatched on the wires of the telegraph, and from valley to valley, from the frozen North to the warm South, from the Atlantic bordersto the mighty West the shout is going up. (Hurrah!) We will send up the same, shout. (Hurrah! hurrab ’) Mr. Cass was not my first choice; but, gentlemen, he is our choice, snd I submit, (Hurrah !) Mr, Turnvy—The democracy of Tennessee will pre- sent an unbroked front for the standard bearer of our party. ‘Tennessee now stands erect, united to the sup- port of the nominee just proclaimed by the chalr.which hope will have full foree and effect. [Applause.} I ask that Tennessee be regarded as unantinous for Lewis Cass. (Applause, Mr. Tovcry, of Connectiout—We come hero to unite with the demoeracy. We are for principles, and not for men, [Applauso,] I riso to say for Connecticut, that we will go into the contest with all our hearts for the nominee. Mr. Canny, of Maine—My Stato has instructed mo to extend to you the right hand of fellowship. “Agreed,” “ditto,” “here's my hand.”) We pledge the State of Maine by ten thousand majority. (Applause.] Mr. Rawrout, of Massachusetts—If we cannot pledge wo can truly say that we will be determined. mooracy of Massachusetts will do their duty— their whole duty. Although the nominee is not my first choice, and although ho has not received my vote, yet I desire his success, and entertain for him the strongest feelings of attachment, He is a native of New England, united to us by common blood and interest, and has done as political service as any citizen who ever went out from us. If our votes do not tell at the ballot box, [laughter] you shall hear our voice ring in favor of the oid fashioned conatruc- tion of the constitution, When the result comes in Novem)er, asc mo it must, when victory shall perch upon the banners of the democracy, no shout will be more sincere than that of Massachusetts. The State of Maine, was divided, but her entire vote was now cast unanimously for Gen. Cass. Mr. Wexts, of New Hampshire, spoke in favor of the nominee, Mr. Hatcxtr, of Massachusetts, said that he was in favor of every State taking care of its own interests. Lot the South take care of her peculiar institutions, and the North will take care of hers, The institution of c abolition, he remarked, is ours ; and if the democrats will stop the whigs at the South from aiding our pecn- liar institution in the North, we will stop ours. [Ap- plause, long and loud;] 1 announce the twelve votes for Gen. Cass. [Applause.] Mr. J.C Inaxnsoxt, of Connecticut—We join hear- tily in tho result, and wil do our duty. [Applause,) Mr. McCanpitss, of Ponnsylvania—We will join you cordially, and on the 7th of November we will send a clap of thunder that will reverberate throughout the Union, and annihilate the whigs wherever found. We will cast twenty-six electoral votes for Cass, who is in favor of the democratic principles and the freedom ofthe seas. [Applause.] Mr. Tuomrsox, of New Jersey—We cast our votes for Mr. Buchanan. We are “manifest destiny men.”” We had, like Massachusetts, beon defeated often, but dispersed never. Lest some remarks made by me yes- terday shall be misapprehended, I declare, so help me God, that I would not associate with a man who holds to the Wilmot proviso. The South has nothing to fear from fee of the old thirteen, [Applause, and cries of Mr. Homrnarys arose, and passed an oulogium upon Gen, Casa, who was the first to cross the Canada line in 1812, and plant his footstep on the British soil. At the surrender of Hull, rather than surrender his sword he shivered it toatoms. The democracy of Maryland are united as one man, and she will come out of the contest with triumph and in honor. Mr. Yancey said that Alabama could not give an unanimous vote for the nominee until it was known on what principle the nomination rests. Mr. Winston remarked that they had nominated a candidate, and they should abide by it. Alabama will do her duty. Several other gentlemen from that State, spoke in a similar strain, Mr. Yancey objected that the vote of Alabama should be entered as unanimous. The thirteen votes of Tennessee were pledged for General Cass, The votes of Kentucky were unanimously given for ass. rida was called, but the delegates still refused to vote at all, because they were under certain pledges. There were loud calls for New York, and Mr. Camarecenc, on the part of the Barnburners, said that they would take but one course, which would be read to the Convention. Mr. Switm ascended the stand, andread an address, inveighing against the Hunkers, and declining to take seats in the Convention. After some further proceedings. the Convention, at half-past three, adjourned until five o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention met, pursuant to adjournment, at 5o’clock; the President in the chair. Mr. Foreman, ef Georgia, offered the following pre- amble and resolutions, which were received amid much excitement :— Whereas that portion of the delozation from New York known As the Utica Convention delegates have withdrawn from this Con- m, Ito it rosolved, That those members coming here under the or- Fanieation of the Syracuse Convention, (commonly called the il Hutukers,) Le received by the Convention as the legitimate representatives of the democracy of New York, and be entitled to thirty-six votes. And be it further resolved, That this Convention repudiate the Wilmot proviso Mr. Epwarps, of New Hampshire, warned the gen- tleman against Pronsing this resolution. Ir. Mxae, of Virginia, rose toa question of order, ing tha*, as we ave already passed a resolution conferring the right of membership on the Hunker delegates from New York, that the resolution is out of order and unnecessary, as they are already fully quali- fied mombers, in the absence of the contestants or Barnburners, Mr. Foreman, at the request of soveral gentlemen. withdrew his resolution, disclaiming that his object and intention was to have an expression of opinion against the Wilmot proviso. Mr. Cone, of Georgia, then presented the following resolution :— Resolved, That » committeo be appointed of one delegate from cach Stato, to be appointed by the delegations of each State, to r nd report such resolition jeom proper for the ndoption of this Convention = Some further conversation here ensued relative to the right of the New York Hunker delegation to seats, when Mr. Mrae, of Virginia, rose to a question of order, and stated that when the State of New York was called befere, they were in a different position from what they are now—that there were two sets of dele- ates then, and that there is but one now, and they ave aright to be heard. Mr. Dicxiwsox.—We do not ask it. Another New York member replied that they had no desire to speak, The resolution of Mr, Cone was again read, and adopted without « dissenting voice. The States were then called, and the following gen- tlemen appointed as members of the committee, by the delegations from the respective States : —Franklin Swift. — Alabama.—W. L. Yancey. Miss,—Charles R, Jordan Louisiana n Slidell. Fermen hos. Bartlett. Teras.—D. F. Kauffm: R. I—Waltor §. Burgess, Arkansas.—C. E. Moore. Conn.—Isnac Toucey, Tenn.—Philip P.

Cone, Levi Hubb John C, Magee. ‘ork was repeatedly called but declined to an- awer, although the Hunkers were all in their ceats, the Barnburners only having quitted the Convention. Mr, Vitas, of Vermont, then offered the following re- solution and moved the previous question : Resolved, That this Convention now proceed to select a eandi- date for the Vices! iden ‘The motion for the it was ordered, Mr. R. Ranrovt, of Massachusetts, nominated Gen. W. 0. Butler for Vice-President. Mr. Staunton, of Maine, named the hero of all the battles of Mexico, though of none of the newspaper battles—Gen, Quitman Dr. C, Humenney placed in nomination Maryland's favorite son, Gon. Benjamin C. Howard. Mr: Mrave, of Virginia, thought that the South should have the Vice-Presidency, and named the Hon, | John Y. Mason, of Virginia, the’ present Secretary of the Navy. | Mr. Newrow, of Alabama, placed in nomination for | Vice President the Hon. Wm. R. King, of Alabama Mr. Stnanae, of North Carolina, nominated, with « few appropriate remarks, Gen, James J. McKay, of | North Carolina, | Tho President being about to call for the first ballot for Vice-President, when Con. Howann, of Maryland, took the rostrum, and addvessed the Convention. ‘He had just heard with pride and gratification, and with emotions of no ordin- ary character, his name brought before this Convention in connection with the nomination for Vice-President, | by a son of good old Maryland, To be thus honored by nis own State is enough for his ambition, and he would | therefore withdraw his name from the list of candidates. | He desired to be an humble member of the democratic Wisconsin.- ney, previous question being seconded, party of the United States, and an advocate of the great and glorious cause that has brought us here. [ would make a few remarks, which | think and hope will noy give offence to any one. | know that during our ses- sion here we have been in situations that caused some gentlemen to feel great uneasiness—but he had felt none. Twenty years ago he entered the political field, fighting in the support of Gen, Jackson, and subse. quently for Mr. Van Buren, and never once has his confidence fled that he would sec what we have seen this morning, a most glorious result of our deliberations. He also proceeded to paya high compliment to the un- wavering democracy of Maryland. He knew she would not waverin the conflict, and was certain of seeing an immense delegation passing through our city, in March next, to witness the inauguration of General Cass at Washington. to the Convention for the favorable manner in which his name had been received, and in again repeating his desire that his name should not be pressed on the Con- vention. Mr. Dickinson, of New York, took the rostrum, amid loud applause, and desired to say a few words in reply tothe gentleman from Maryland. It had not been the wont of New York to apeak with a forked tongue, and this Convention has given her no other.— He scarcely knew how to speak to his fellow democrats. New York came here to offer her services on the altar of her country, and though stricken down, she trusted in you. He could only say, God bless you, in the good work you have this 4 formed. Mr. D. said that if the delegation of which he wasa member had been per- mitted, they would have cast the 36 votes of New York for Lewis Cass. The first time that he had ever seen the venerable face of the President, (Mr. Stevenson.) had beon in 1836, when a delegate here from New York in the Democratic National Convention of that year. He gave his vote for Martin Van Buren. He was again here in 1844, as the chairman of the New York delega- tion, and again threw the vote of that State on eight ballots for Martin Van Baren, They would now have stood on the principles of Woodbury, the principles of Buchanan, the principles of Dallas, or the principles of any other true democrat. Let us now have a little real harmony and conciliation, and let him tell them that they were disposed to do all in their power to elect Lew- is Cass, but they must, in making a Vice President which would be satisfactory to them—they must do something for them—they must have something upon which to go before the democracy of New York. Let all mect upon some common ground here, and all would be well. He knew well the individual nominated, and of all mankind there was not another man whom they preferred. He knew that he had a mind as ca pacious as the universe itself—he knew that he was every thing that tho democracy could desire, They could have gone for an illustrious son of Penn- sylvania, had he been nominated, cordially and effi- ciently, but they preferred Lewis Cass. And now, had not they, (the Hunkers,) after all this, had rather the worst of this controversy; had they not been treated rather the worst? How would it ‘have been if a disor- ganizing delegation had come here from Pennsylvania and sat down beside those regularly elected.

He con- cluded with extending to the Convention the right hand of fellowship, and pledging the support of the de- legation of which he wasa member, to Lewis Cass, of Michigan, aud for the Vice Presidential candidate, whoever he might be, having full confidence that the Convention would nominate none but a good and true democrat, The vote was then declared to be as follows:— Finest Baisor, 4S b | aS w St . z tates.

Mr. Ketriewstt said that he not only to per- form a high duty to this Convention, but he owed a still higher duty to his constituency of the democracy of Baltimore, and that was to move to lay the resolu- tion on the table. The democracy of Baltimore had made ample provision for the Convention, even though they should have the pleasure of thelr company for’ s twelve-month. Mr. Monsr withdrew his resolution, and offered another of thanks to the democracy of Baltimore, for their attention and hospitality, which was unanimous- ly adopted.

The firemen were promptly on the spot, and rendered efficient service; but the fiames had got such headway that it was impossible for them to do any thing more that exert themselves to save the sur- rounding property, which, after hard labor, was effected. The torch of the incendiary caused this devastation, and it falls extremely hard upon those pioneers of staging operations, having scarcely recsvered from the loss which they sustained when a similar calamity be- fell them before.

When this fact was ascertained, the New York officer, by an_in- genious trick, decoyed the accused to New York, and as soon as he put his foot into this State, he was taken into custody, and detained in the Tombs. The English officer was supplied with x lawyer, in order to assist him in recovering the money thus carried off by the accused, When, after several weeks manceuvering, the Jersey farm was sold, together with all the live and dead stock, at auction, which brought $800, bought again by the original owner — Thus far so good, the English officer, congratulating himself upon realising that amount, which would ena- ble him togo back with flying colors; now the next thing was the settlement with his legal adviser, for his services, who, on rendering his bill, amounted to the sum of $845, just $45 more than the whole amount re- covered, bringing the English officer in debt $45 for legal advice, exclusive of all his expenses. On the re- ceipt of this bill, the officer was wonderfully surprised, but, we understand he paid the balance, and took the first packet for Liverpool, fearing that the learned counsel might yet send in another account, Law Intelligence. Surreme Court, May 26—Special Term—Before Judge Hurlbut.— The American Fire Insurance Co. es. Graham and others—In this case, a default was taken, and the complainants bill dismissed with costa. The complainants afterwards made a motion to Judgo | monds to open the default, on the ground that they were taken by surprise, pending @ private negotiation between their solicitor and some of the defendants, ‘The judge denied the motion, inasmuch as the grounds upon which the default was sought to be opened, as appeared by the papers, was as to the question of costs, ‘and did not embrace the merits.

After he had given them the money, | they refused to ratify the contract, and, as he alleged. | turned him into the street, in a very destitute condi- | tion, There was no defence, and Judge Ulshoeffer told the jury that the case came under his cognizance b fore by a Stilwell warrant, and from the investigation he made of it, he had no doubt but the plaintiff's state- ment was correct.
