See Notice having been given, that General Cass would visit this city on his return homeward, ac- tive preparations"were made for a grand reception at the various railroad stations, between this city and Philadelphia, as also in this city, Agreeably to usual custom, we despatched a reporter to Princeton to meet him, and note the proceedings to thiscity. He, accompanied by General Hous- ton, of Texas, Colonel Benton, General Foote, Senators Moore, Allen, and a host of persons, who joined the escort along the route. He spent the night at Trenton, whither he was conducted by a committee from Philadelphia, of which Recorder Lee was chairman. ARRIVAL AT PRINCETON. At half past nine o’clock, by sptcial train, Gen. Cass and escort, arrived at the Princeton depot, from which they immediate proceeded to visit the college, and his old friend, John R. Thomson,Esq. He remained at the residence of Mr. Thomson until half past eleven o’clock, when a move was made towards the depot. . At twelve o’clock, the carriage drew up in front of the railroad office, and the distinguished com- pany alighted, The first carmane contained Gen. Houston, of Texas; he is a fine looking man, about six feet and six inches high, dressed in a plain suit of black cloth, while a white cravat kept his dickey in its proper place. On his head, he supported a very low crowned white hat, with a brim about eight inches wide, the front of which was turned down, and the back bent up, in real senatorial style. The next that followed was Ge- neral Cass, a rather short, but quite fat man, with florid complexion, and. of quite genteel appear- ance. They were received by about three hun- dred persons who had assembled wit eat en- thusiasm. The next carriage contail several gentlemen, nong whom were Colonel Benton, of Missouri, and Senator Allen, of Ohio. The former is a pleasant looking man, apparently about sixty years of age, with a fine eye, and a little bald. He was dressed in black cloth, which was so per- fectly covered with dust, that it was impossible. without scrutinizing, to tell what was its origina color. He worea hat of the fashion of 1828, high crownand broad brim, the hinder part of which had the senatorial turn up. Senator Allen, of very slender person, was also dressed in black cloth. His height is considerably over six feet, and his person very straight. His long grey hair hung down on each side of his face, and very fre- quently, when his hat was off, over his eyes.— ** When his old hat was new,” it, no doubt, pre- sented a different appearance, but looks now as if it had seen better days. The other gentlemen, of less notoriety, presented various appearances. Having all emerged from;the vehicles, General Houston was introduced to the company by Col. Alexander, of New Jersey. He spoke of the bat- tles of the General in Texas, and reverting to the county in which they then were, he said, ‘And, General, you are now standing upon soil which has been drenched with the blood of patriots, and around you are the unmarked graves of those pa- triots. Twas here a Mercer fell, (from whom the county derived its name) a gailant soldier.” General Houston replied— My fellow citizens—I suppose you have heard a great dent about me, and have had a great curiosity to sce a live Texia: nd know that he won’t bite. Many years ago, afew of us went to Texas to protect the Mexicans from the tomahawk of the red man—and we did pro- tect them. ‘They afterwards oppressed us, and we rose in our strength, and, as you call it here, flogged them. (A voice, “Yes, hey end ‘em like hell, by G—d!"") Many think that Texas is made up of a set of rascals, If it is, we are indebted to you for them. Iam frequently asked about Texas, and I tell them an anecdote I once heard, which serves very well; that was as follows :— ‘There was an Irishman who came to this country, by the name of Patrick Murphy, and went to live with » n Mobile. After he had staid a month, s hirty dollars. He was perfectly delighted, never having had so much money at one time before in his life, He called upon Mr, Gilmore and asked him he would grant him a favor, to which Mr. G. replied, he would. He then said, “+l want you to write mea letter to me brother in the ould counthry, and say that I am living with Mc Gilmore, that I get « quarter of a dollar day. and mate once # day.” Mr. G, turned and asked him if he did not a dollar a day. and meat three times aday. “Oh, yis,yer honor, but if I write the way I said, they will come over; but if I write that I get adollar a day, and mate three times a day. niver a bit will they believe it, and divil the one of ‘em that'll come.” And my friends, so it is with Texas—if tell you how good it is, you would not believe me; but y: ean get a quarter aday, and meat at least once a day Gea, Cass was then loudly called for, and ap- peared, but made a very few remirks, when the bell announced the train ready to leave, and that pat an end to the speaking. The cars being ready, the signal was given, and the train moved off, amid the cheermg of the assembled hundreds, and in a short time we were called to notice THE RECEPTION AT NEW BRUNSWICK. As sson as the cars reached the depot at New Brunswick people were to be seen running from every direction to see Gen. Cass. He came out upon the platform, and after a general intro- duction to about two hundred people, was con- ducted to the Railroad Hotel, where a collation was prepared, and one which certainly reflected credit upon the good taste of the host. The table ad with good and tastefully-prepared fier which came an abundance of the finest berries, Mr, Adrain was the master of cere- monies at this place, After partaking of, indeed aevouring, the good things with which the table 1, Gen. Cass was conducted to an upper was introduced to several Indies. So much of the time having been consumed here in eating, there was no time for speaking; and again the sound of the whistle of the locomotive, of another special train, despatched from Jersey City, under the direction of the urbane and gentle- manly superintendent of the road, Mr. Smith, whose courtesy to the press is without a parallel, the whole party moved towards Rauway. fo a short time the village of Rahway was in sight, and in a few minutes more the cars stood on the stand, where another crowd was waiting to receive General Cass, He was again intro- duced, as were also the other distinguished men. A speech was called for, and General Cass called upon Senator Allen, who spoke very briefly upon the policy of the present administratiton as salu- tary, and the only thing calculated to keep alive the liberty of the people was the success of demo- cratic principles, They (the democrats) were not children enough to think that glorious insti- tutions of the country would ever be overthrown, but they were men enough to know fhat there was a party in the country whose only object was the pulling down of the ramparts of the democratic institutions, but that they could never do. But twice since the formation of our confederaey had that party succeeded, and one of those cases was in the election of the elder Adams, under whese ad- ministration laws were enacted sorely oppressing those of foreiga birth who had sought a home in our happy country. There was pepe veability now that they would again succeed for years. The day growing late, again were the company summoned to take their seats in the cars again, an a general rush was made, among the rest General Cass leaning upon the arm of John R. Thomson, Esq., while the crowd thronged around him to shake him by the hand. Reaching the ear, Gen. Cass was rather short-legged, and not being able t up himself, was bodt y lifted to the platform, Being safe on the car, he turned around and thanked them for their kindness, with boys do the best you can in November.” The train again started, and, with quick and rapid strides, soon reached old and romantic looking ELIZABETHTOWN, The cars stopped here for a few moments, but there not being many persons at the station, and | the huzzas being rather feeble, the iron horse was driven towards the CITY OF NEWARK. There was a larger concourse of persons at Newark than at all the other places added to- gether, About two thousand persons had assem- bled to do honor to the candidate for the Presi- dence, which was fully appreciated, and acknow- ledged by General Cass. He shou not, speak himself, but he had a host of orators with him, all of whom were introduced to the people, Mr. Senator ALLEN again spoke; and though he ! has a voice which can be heard at a great distance, go great was the contusion, the pulling and hauling, that it was impossible to get near the place where he stood, or hear anything he said. ‘The reception, at this place was more enthusiastic than at any of the former places, and Gen. Cass seemed highly delighted with the honor conferred upon him, when three cheers wefe given for Cass and Butler. ‘The stay was necessarily short at Newark; and the next thing to be thought of and done was to drive for JERSEY CITY, a a Where a general shout was given on the arrival of the ears. Reaching the depot, he, Gen. Cass and escort, were conducted to the piazza of the depot building, and a general introduction to the people took place. General Houston then went into the street, and shook hands with the children, while Gen. Cass and Col. Benton shook hands with the crowd. At this time the committees of the Com- mon Council arrived, and were introduced to Gen. Cass and suite. Alderman Crolius stated to Gen. Cass that a boat was ready to convey them to the city; and as soon as the company could be collect: | ed, they were conducted to the boat by the com- | mittees, and a general shout burst upon the air as they passed from the depot building. | RECEPTION IN NEW YORK, About 4 0’clock, the Common Council, and a large number of influential citizens, proceeded on board the steamboat Arresseoh, from foot of Cas- | tle Garden, to Jersey City, to receive General Cass and triends, asthe guests of the city. The follow- ing members of both boards composed the Com- mittees of Reception :— Clarkson Crolius, Wm. J. McDermott, William Adams, James S. Libby, Frederick D. Kohler, Morris Franklin, Wilson Small, Com. of Board of Ald. Com, Board Asst. Ald. Collector Lawrence, Post Master Morris, Hon. John McKeon, Judges Smith and Daly, to- gether with a large concourse of leading members of the democratic party in this city, flocked forward on board, amid the firing of cannon and the soul- inspiriting and enlivening performance ot that al- ways popular air, “The Star Spangled Banner,” by Lothian’s inimitable brass band, when the boat immediately put out for Jersey City. Short as was the trip, many warm and cordial greetings among friends were observable in al! parts of the boat, and several were heard to express themselves with much confidence as to the Presidential con- test, in favor of their candidate. The steamer having put in at the wharf at Jersey City, the dis- tinguished guests, Ggneral Cass and friends, were soon ushered on board, a salute being fired, amid loud cheering, and the band playing “ Hail bia.” The committee of reception immediately formed in circles, and received General Cass and friends, amid renewed cheering, when Alderman Franxuin hereupon addressed Gen. Cass, as follow: Respected Sir—I am the honored instrument of the Common Council of the city of New York, to tender to you their congratulations, that after a long and bril- Nant career in the councils of the nation, you have been permitted to retire to the enjoyment of your do- mestic associations, with the approbation of a grateful and honorable constituency ; and to assure you that, although to most of our citizens you may personall bo a stranger, that there are extended hands and ani- mated hearts prepared to welcome you to their hospi- tulities, and receive you as their guest (applause) ; for we hi heard of you upon our frontiers, when the ‘oop of the savage was sounded throughout the then almost boundless forest—when the tomahawk and the sealping-knife were glittering in the noon-day sun, threatening destruction to our people, and desola- tion to their firesides and their homes; and, when a truce was sounded, and the calumet of peace was burning around their council fires, you were there, mingling with them in loud huzzas of returning confi- dence, and cheering them with the prospect of a speedy and a favorable peace. (Applause) But it is not only in reference to this that the name of General Cass is familiar to the ears of the American people (cheers) ; for there are those now living whose parents were the early pioneers in the settlement of our Western world, who have heard of your struggles and devoted exertions to shield and prac them in those early days when that now flourishing region was only the abode of the red man of the wilderness, and the play ground of the rude beasts of the forest. ‘Throughout that vast and now richly cultivated portion of our country, your name has become as familiar as their household words; and, in connection with its early history, is heard upon its barren hills, and in its fertile plains— in the cottage of the peasant, and in the noble struc- ture of the rich man’s pride. (Applause.) In Michi- gan, the State of your adoption, and your home, a child would blush who could not give your history, and detail the various incidents of your life. But, sir, we have also beard of you at a foreign court, while faith- fully representing the interests of our country, and ably contending for its true dignity and national ho- nor; t Washington, where the wisdom of the na- tion meet in the Senate Chamberof the Union—where are assembled some of the noblest intellects, and the mightiest minds, which adorn our age, you have been conspicuous in debate, while contending for our claims to Oregon (cheers), and in advocating the pro- xecution of the war which has been so long waged against unhappy and dismembered Mexico, but which we thankfully hope is now most successfully termi- nated, and ‘that the dove of peace is at this moment bearing in her beak the olive braach to all classes of her aoe which will induce them in the spirit of true submission, to turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks, and to learn war no more forever. (Cheering and applause ) Can we, then, sir, under the influence of those true national feelings which prompt us to cherish with the most lively recollections the names of our distinguished statesmes, and soldiers, hesitate for a moment to extend to you a sincere and cordial welcome upon your virit to our noble city ; for, indeed, sir, it is noble in the mag- nificence of its public buildings, i teratuie and sei- ence. its commercial enterprise, its spacious squares and sparkling fountains its capacious harbor, where ships of every clime, and of whatever tonnage. ride s0- cure amidst the rudest storms; but above all in the de. votion of its people to the maintenance of its laws and a just appreciation of those noble institutions which were founded in the wisdom of our fathers, consecrated by the blood of those who broke the chain of conti- auntal slavery, and are now fearlessly maintained by a wise, patriotic and uncompromising band of determin- ed freemen. To such a city, sir, we weleome you, and introducing you to the hospitality of our citizens, we venture the asrertion that party feeling will be forgot- ten, and that as with the heart of one man we will unite in claiming you as our weleomed and our honor- ed guest; for in this your visit we recognize not the leader of a party or the candidate for public favor, but the distinguished statesman, returning to hishome, af- ter the discharge of his laborious duties, to render an account to a grateful and confiding constitueney; and happy, indeed, will be that re-union, if in rendering such an account of your stewardship. the welcome acclamation shall salute your coming, “ Well done, thou good and faithfal servant.” With sincere and ardent desires that you may renlize the reward of an Approving conscience. and the approbi ‘iow of an ad- iting people, we again bid you weleomo to our city, and claim you as our guest. At the conclusion of the address, the cheering was lond, vehement, and prolonged, upon which Gevenat Cass replied, and thanked the Common Council most sincerely. fer the very favorable senti- ments which they had expressed towards him in the address, which had just been delivered. He thanked those present for the signal mark of favor, which they had bestowed upon him—(applause)—and could not conceal from himself, that in reviewing his public ca- reer, that anything on his part could give room to hope for such @ reception, or justify him in expecting Te (Renewed applause and cheers.) In looking over the incidents of his life, trom the period when a boy, fifty years ago. entering the unexplored deserts of hie fine country, with but with a trifle of means to work on his position, and viewing his position now. he had reason to feel proud of that country and its people, on meeting such a body as those whom he had the honor to address on the present occasion, and under such circumstances, (Loud cheering and applause.) They had really done right in excluding party and politics on such an occasion as that upon ‘hich they ad met, (Hear, hear) For himself, he would merely say that he was always favorable to his countgy, and the admirer and firm supporter of its instilution (Loud eheering and applause.) He thanked the cor porate authorities of the city of New York—he thanked them most cordially, most sincerely, for this evidence of their favor in his behalf; and thanked them still more in the names of the disting ished men who had accompanied him—(sheering)—men who stood high as statesmen, as soldiers, froth in the field and in the Cabinet. (Renewed applause.)— One of them had led his countrymen vietoriously in the battle-field—and another whose eloquence and ta- lents have adorned his station, and made him an ornament in the assembly of the nation.

(Laughter and applause.) Mr. Anten was next loudly called forward amid vehement cheering and applause, He said— It could handily be expected that on an occasion ike that on which they had met, that a speech would be delivered introducing any sentiments such as would wound the sensibilities of any of those forming part and parcel of the first city on this continent, b; making any especial reference to this reception of their democratic nominee. (Loud and vehement cheering ) Mr. A. here passed a high eulogy upon the enterprise and public spirit of the citizens of New York, and commented upon the peaceful manner in which thi political contests of the country are invariably de- cided —no single life having ever yet been lost in any of their great political contests, (Applause) He next contrasted their institutions with those of the Euro- | Pean monarchies, where a sovereign could scarcely venture five miles from his home without being pro- tected by a cordon of military, and then went on to depiet the proud and independent privileges enjoyed by american eitien—the comfort--the happipess enjoyed by him. and the liberality always evinced by American citizens in aid of the distressed of other na- tions. He continued—I voted for sending supplies to Ireland during the famine in that country, and I have no doubt that that very event, while it attracted the attention of all the world to the condition of the Am- erican people, made all the world wish that they were in the same condition that we were. In my opinion, there was not a revolution in the 6ld world whieh those contributions did not contribute to make. Sam Housron was then loudly called for, and went to the edge ot the platform: He said, Out of respect to the call which had been, mada-ppon him, he came forth; but he considered that it would be most indetcate in him to offer any suggestions on that occasion. In return for the honor conferred on him by the call, he would say that he was honored «by it. He was from s great distance—from the lone star State— (applause)—and as a representative of that State, he would say that he was in favor of the nomination of General Cass, (Applause.) : ‘THE PROCESSION, : .

Puitavecraia, June 7, 1848, | The morning of Wednesday, the seventh day of | June, in the year of Redemption one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, opened clear, cool and breezy in the City of Fraternal Affection; and with the dawn | of the day the swarms at the hotels began to pour forth into the streets. At sunrise the democracy com- menced assembling in front of Jones's, awaiting the hour for an introduction to the democratic nominee. Immediately after breakfast, the whigs began to stream out, and simultaneously a heavy current of the delega- tions, lobby members and “ outsiders,”’ set up Chesnut | street on both sides, gathering volume at every cross- | ing. The multitude were bearing up to the Chinese Museum, corner of Ninth and George stroets, where, by ten o'clock, a solid mass of several thousands were ssembled, Shortly after, the doors opened at the front on Ninth street, ‘vv the admission of the people to the galleries; and at thio same time the delogates and re- Porters of the newspaper pross were passed into the all by a private door on Gvorge street. It was half past ten when your reporters took their seats among the press gang at their tables, and # glance around us induces us to attempt a brief description of the magni- fisent spectacle presented to the view. The hall of the Chinese Museum is, perhaps, the most splendid, and, next after that of the Castle Gar- den, is the most capacious in the United States. It is upwards of two hundred fect in length, by fifty in width. Itis flanked on every side by series of spa- cious compartments, under the galleries, which on this occasion are appropriated as consultation rooms to the different State delegations. At intervals of every ten feet along the two sides of the hall, a heavy square pe- destal rises.to the base ofthe galleries, surmounted by two Corinthian columns—the whole gallerycollonnade upon each side consisting of sixteen pairs of said col- umns, sustaining the ballustrading which supports the ceiling. The niches between the pedestals on all sides formed on the Battery, in the following order:— Cavalcade, as an escort, Barouche, drawn by four horses, Containing tho HON. LEWIS CASS, His Honor the Mayor, the President of the Board of Aldermen, and Senator Benton, Barouches Containing the President of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, and distinguish Senators and Representativ Governor of the State. Ex-Governors of the State. Joint Special Committee of the Common Council. Members of the Common Council of the city. Ex-Mayors of the city. Ex-Mombers of the last Common Council. Senators of this State. Membors of Assembly, Toads of Departments of the City Government, Colloctor of the Port of New York, f the Port. w York, County Officers, Citizens on foot. They then moved up Broadway to Chatham street, to the Bowery, to Grand street, to Bread- way, to the Astor House, where General Cass and suite took up their quarters. A crowd gathered in front of the house, and called for General Cass, who appeared at the window, bowed, and retired, as did the others, except Senator Allen, who was loudly called for, and appeared, saying that he was ready to speak to them at any time they might ap- point, but must then be excused. Several of the prominent members of the old hunker democracy then took possession of Gene- ral Cass and his friends attending, and disappeared. MOVEMENTS OF TO-DAY. . The same old route will be ne over to-day, of visiting the Blind, and Deaf and Dumb institutions, Randall’s Island, and the high bridge. Wonder it the Common Council will ever find any other places of a usement for distinguished strangers visiting the city ! ‘Theatrical and Musical. Bowery Tuxatax.—This capacious building was again crowded last evening with a highly respectable audience, Mr. W. Marshall, who took his benefit on the occasion, must have felt highly flattered with the manner in which he was received and his talents precinted. The first piece was “ Richard the Third, in which Mr. Marahall appeared to go far ahead of all his previous efforts. and in the tent scene Mr. M.,.as Richard, was peculiarly effective. At the close of the play, Mr. M., in obedience to a most vociferous call,came before the curtain, when a shower of beautiful boquets were thrown at his feet. After the appaluse had sub- sided, he gratefully acknowledged the tokens of appro bation which had been manifested towards him, Mr. C. W. Clarke. as the Duke of Buckingham, also drew forth repeated applause, while Miss Lockyer admirably sustained the part of the Prince of Wales, and if pro- perly put forward, there is no doubt but she would soon become a great favorite. “ Richard the Third” was fol- lowed by the Yankee comedy of “ Ole Bull,” in which Mr. C. Burke kept the audience in constant roars of laughter. To-night Mr. C, W. Clarke takes his bene- fit, and offers a great bill. Niuto’s Astor PLace.—The question is decided in favor of this place of amusement. No matter how fay it may be up town, it is nightly filled, from parquette to dome, with a galaxy of fine ladies, of lovely young miss- es, and fashionable young men. Thoaudience present last evening was, in spite of the rain, one of the great- est of the week; and all seemed delighted with the en- tertainment presented. The Danseuses Viennoises with the admirable precision of their dances, were ex- tremely well received by the assembly, and appeared in three of their best divertisements—the “Pas des Ber- gers,” “La Tyrolionne.” and the “Pas des Fleurs; this last “being the prettiest animated garden ever planted by the universal Creator. The more wo see these talented children, the more we are enchanted with thefr elegance and grace; and the public seems perfectly to agree with ts. ‘The vaudeville company performed the two plays calied “The Alpine Maid” and the “ Miseries of Human. Life.” in which John Sefton Chippendale. Walcott, Mrs, Meader, and the beautiful Kate Horn filled the principal parts. and received much applause. The performance of this evening will be a very attractive one. It will consist of the celebrated “Pas Rococo,” the “Polka Paysanne,”’ and the “Gallope des Drapeaux.” by the Viennoise children, and the two comedies of the Alpine Maid” and “ Naval Engage- ments.” We see on the bills that M. Maurice Strac- kosh, pianist to the Emperor of Russia, is decidedly engaged by Mr. Niblo. and we have every reayon to be- lieve he will make his first appearance to-morrow night ‘There will be a great treat for the cognoscenti and the amateurs of the pianoforte players. Cuatnam Turatre.—This house, last night, was crammed to excess, from tie orchestra to the very ceiling. The drama, entitled “ the Chain of Guilt,’ or “ Wandering Will,” went off well, and was followed by “New York as it is," for which the furore appears to increase rather than diminish; but “ Mose” having engaged to kick up a muss in Boston next week, to- night ix the last one we shall have an opportunity of seeing him, Cunisty's Minstrece will, as usual, givo a first rate dill this evening.

On the cust side of the hall, mid-way down, is the official plat- form, raised four feet from the floor, and the aren of thirty fect by fifteen, is carpeted and hung with green baize, and provided with the necessary tables, chairs and settees for the officers ‘The drapery at the back ofthe platform, sustained by several columns of the galleries, consists of a number of star spangled banners, surmounted in the centre by a genuine (stuffed) spaci- men of the American eagle, holding in his beak a blue riband, bearing in golden letters the motto of « E Pluribus Unum,” the bird being otherwise provided with the shield, arrows, and olive, constituting the arms of the Union, In front, and on both sides of the official table, on the floor of the hall, are the reporters’ tables, covered with green baize, provided with all the implements of their craft by the Committee of Arrange- ments ; and as an evidenee of the importance of this Convention, from sixty to seventy of the press gang are now engaged around us, in their world enlighten- ing vocation. We take occasion, in behalf of the press, to express our decided approbation of the arrange- ments of the Committee, in respect of the newspaper delegation, The blue walls of the galleries are draped with the flag of the Union, rising to the ceiling, and fastened by ashield over the windows, and descunding in graceful folds inthe spaces between. Depending from the ceiling, over the centre of the hall, at intervals of twenty-five feet, from one to another, its whole ox- tent, is a line of tasteful chandeliers, for the illumina- tion’ of the establishment by night. ‘The hall and the galleries will accommodate five thou- sand people. The galleries are full, though three or four hundred might yet be accommodated on the floor, below. From this general description, we proceed to THE TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. At eleven o'clock, Mr. Henny|Wuurs, of Philadelphia, ascended the platform,and said:—‘As the hour of busi- ness has arrived, I hope that the convention will now be organized; and if agreeable. gentlemen, I move that John A. Collier, of New York, be your temporary Chairman.”’ The question was put, and the motion was unani- ed to, followed by applause. ‘The noise and confusion began to subside, and gop- tlemen were requested to take their hats off and to take seats. Mr, Cov.ier assumed the chair, after expressing his ks for the honor conferred upon him, by making alow bow. Heasked—*What is the pleasure of the convention??? Mr. Hovstox, of Kentucky, moved that a temporary secretary be appointed. This was agreed to, and at his instanee, Mr. Harlan, of that State, was selected for the station designated. Applauce again succeeded, and Mr. Harlan took his seat. It was suggested that the roll of delegates be called. “Agreed,” “agreed.” A delegate arose and said:—“There isso much noise that we can’t hear the Chairman. It woul bea great accommodation if there were less noise, especially in the galleries.” [A voice:—“The galleries will have to be cleared.” Agreed.) The Cuaimmax.—As the Rey. Dr. Brainard, a cler- gyman, (new school Presbyterian,) is present, it is suggested that the Convention be opened with prayer. (i Agrond,' “agree Gentlemen will preserve per- fect silence. If agreeable, prayer will be offered.— “Agreed,” “‘agmped."] The Rev. Dr. Braixanp advanced to the front of the platform, and delivered a prayer as follows, viz:— Lord God Almignty, thy kingdom is universal and thy dominion knoweth no end. W» thank thee for the many mercies by which we are surrounded; we thank thee for our religious and civil freedom; we thank thee that ve been permitted to select the form of our ow roment, and to appoint those who are to rule over our country; we bless thee that the prayers of our / to make us a great and happy nation, baye lcen answored. In all their perils, thou didst protect them; and the same Provi- dence has guarded our liberties and institutions. Hea- venly Father, it is our prayer this morning, that thou wilt bless the servants of the people here assem. bled, toselect candidates to fill high and important offices, with a view to administer the laws of the land. We thank thee that thou has preserved them in the perils of their journey hither, and thus enabled them to take into consideration subjects connected with the perpetuation of their own constitution of their own country. And wilt thou preside over this assembly, that their deliberations may redound to the peace, or- der, and happiness of their country. We pray thee likewise, to bless their families; watch over their lives, and, after they shall have transacted their business, restore them to their homes, Hear, we beseech thee, our prayer, and accept our gratitude and thanks through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amon, The assembly, who had been standing, resumed their seats, Mr. Suenstax, of Ohio, was, on motion, appointed an additional temporary Secretary. Mr. Hants, the principal Secretary, then proceeded tocall the names of the list of delegates, as heretofore published in the Herald, Exrors were corrected by the rerpective delegations. Judge Conran. of Louisiana, said that he held in his hand & list of the delegates of Texas. In the event of the non-attendance of the gentlemen appointed, the Louisiana delegation are authorized to speak for Texas The lst of the Texas delegates was read, when Judge Coxnan asked whether any gentleman present was authorized to speak for Texas? As there was no reply, he moved that the Secretary record that Texas is represented by Louiriana, Mr. Fowxen, of New York. moved that the motion of Jadge Conrad be laid upon the table until after the organization, and that a committee be appointed to ex- amine and report on oredentials. Judge Connan would say to the gentleman, that a mere record does not preclude an inquiry into the power of Louisiana delegates to represent ‘Texas. [it may hore be proper to state, that, owing to the great length of the hall, and the incossanté hum of voices, it was next to impossible for delogates to hear | with distinctness what the Chairman said; and there- fore there were calls upon him to repeat. } The Cuamman—* Order, order, gentlemen! order must be observed in the gallories.”” (Knock, knock.) “is the Convention ready for the question 2” A delegate, at the extreme end of the room, in a very loud tone—* We can’t heara word down here.”’ The Crainman—Is_ the Convention ready for the | question ?

Mr. Fowirn repeated, that the committee on creden- tials should inquire whether Texas should be represen- ted by delegates from Louisiana. (Oh! no.’] Mr. A. Brown, of Pa., contended that a motion of this kind could ‘not be sustained. The Convention had no right to interfere with the representatives of a sovereign State. ‘The Cuainmax—Tho committee are already appoln- ted by a vote of this Convention, The chair is, there- fore, of opinion that the motion ix not in order.— (“That's right,” and clapping of hands and stamping Of feet by delegates. } Another motion was made to adjourn, and that the Convention again meet at four o'clock this afternoon. It was voted down. Mr. Fow.er moved that a select committee be ap- pointed to examine credentials. Still another motion to adjourn until four o'clock, was made, and disagreed to. THR, GALLERIFS—CLEAR THEM! A delegate, whose name even the Secretary did not learn, offered the following resolution, viz:— Resolved, That to prevent great confusion, as expe- rienced this morning, the committee of arrangements issue tickets of admission to the galleries {Loud eries of ‘no, no,”’ up stairs and down, and his-ea-s-8-8 in the galleries.) Another delegate: “I move that they be cleared now.” ‘The hissing in the galleries, to which thi: re rise, seemed to be general, and there were cries of “order,” “order.” ‘The Cuarnman promptly called to order, and én mo- tion of Mr. Cocxx, of Tennessee, the resolution was laidupon the table. ‘There was now a clapping of hands and stamping of feet. and a few hurrahs, by way of variety. The Cuarmman—“Silence! ‘order!’? Rap, bang, knock, knock, with the stick.] It was resolved that, until further ordered, the par- Hiamentary rules for the preservation of order be adopted. A resolution was adopted—that when the Convention adjourn, it be to meet at four o'clock this afternoon. ‘A gentleman moved that the whig members of Con- gress be admitted on the floor; but the motion was re- ceived with cries of “no! “no! Several suggested that they could go into the galleries At half past twelve o'clock, an adjournment took place until four. ‘Thus we have one hour and a half’s proceedings of the great Whig National Convention. AFTERNOON OF THE FIRST DAY. Puitapeienia, June 7, 1848. The Convention, this morning, adjourned to meet at four o'clock. Long before that hour, the galleries were crowded with sovereigns. They were wedged in #0 tightly that one could not move without agitating a hundred of his neighbors. The spread eagle attached to the adornments of the platform was several times in danger of toppling from its proud eminence over the atar-spangled banner, for a restless crowd had taken shelter behind it, in the galleries, and were vainly en- deayoring to look over upon the scene below. ‘The Cuarnman, at four o'clock, loudly knocked fand called to order. Quiet being in some degree restored, Mr. Tuomas B. Kina made a report from the commit- tee of one from each State. to present the names of gentlemen for officers of the meeting. He stated that it was unanimous. The list was then read as follows :— PRESIDENT, JOHN M. MOREHEAD, of North Carolina. [Stamping, cheers, and other manifestations light.) VICK PRESIDENTS.

They retired for a few moments, and re- turned, bringing with them, Mr. Morehead. That gen- tleman was mot, as he ascended the pla‘form, by the late chairman, who conducted him to the seat. Mr. Monxneap was received with applause, three times three, and immediately proceeded to the delive- ry of , AN ADDRESS.

TRXAS—CREDENTIALS, | The Presipen’ then stated the question to be, on concurring in the report of the committee, nominating the gentlemen above named to act as Vice Presidents of the Convention A Detrcaty arose and questioned the right of Vice President for Texas (that State having no mem- bers in the Convention), and moved to strike out Texas, Mr. Kiva stated that the committee did not deem it rudent to decide on the validity of credentials, and fic exprossed the hope that the yeutloman would with- draw the motion.

If this prevail, Texas will not have a Vice President. (The President then turned round, and stated the question to the other half of the members.) MORE OF THE KNOTTY QUESTION. Mr. Tomrxsns, of Mississippi—What will be the effect of that motion, if carried? If we refuse to lay thia mo- tion upon the table, and if we concur in the report of the committee, will we not give Texas a Vice-President, and subject him to be unseated, if it be found, on an examination of the credentials, that he is not entitled to it?

(We had here to pause, to watch, with interest, » movement in the galleries. A man dropped his hat, and. in the effort to regain it, his head was crowded in the living mass, “ Don’t suffocate me, gentlemen. let me get my hat out;"—thinking more of bis hat than that part of the body which it was designed to cover.— It was not George Munday, for that false prophet says itis decidedly wrong to wear a hat, because he was born without one!

Memuex—Will you count all the delegates from Indiana? She has sixty! [Ha! ha!) If so, you will neutralize New York, Kentucky and Georgia. Mr. Gextay, (whose voice was as a clarion )—There are no more delegates here than there are members in Congress; and no delegation from any State will so disgrace itself as to claim a larger number of votes than it is entitled to. We might adopt some prineip! to give all the States the amount of weight to which is legitimately entitled. and no more. The Parsinent—The Chair will have to take the re- sponsibility ; and he states that no rules have been ted by which the Convention is to be governed . 6 Chair will assume the responsibility. and let the States vote according to their number in the electoral college.
