THE NEW YORK HERALD. = ' Whole No. 8120, NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1848. WHIG NATIONAL CONVENTION, NOMINATION MAJ, GEN, ZACHARY TAYLOR FOR THE PRESIDENCY, AND OF MILLARD FILLMORE FOR THE Vice Presidency of the United States, KVENIN@ SESSION OF THE SECOND DAY. Purtavetenra, June 8, 1848, ‘The Convention re-assembled at four o'clock, but the public and the reporters for the press were excluded uatil six. We were informed that, in secret ses- sion, a motion was made to reconsider the vote by which delegates from Louisiana were given the privilege to represent Texas, ‘The motion was voted down by 30 or 40 majority, In the neighborhood of the Hall the incessant hammering of the President was heard, indi- eating that there was not the most porfect order in the convention above. ‘The venders of ice creams, fexars, and turtle soup, on the sidewalks, reaped a rich harvest. Politicians were assembled ‘in little parties, discussing the claims of the several distin- guished gentlemen spoken of for the Presidency. The grentest excitement prevailed, and a gencral anxiety was manifested to gain admission to the hall. ‘The long-expected hour, six, now arrived; the doors were thrown open, and “such a gitting up stairs you never did see.” Many a poor fellow will not recover from the bruises he received in the rush for maay a day. Some of the outsiders were disappointed. There were at least two thousand in the street, whose prospects for u place in the galleries were hopeless. When we squeezed in, there was o resolution under consideration, viz.:— Resolved, that the Convention will, at fifteen minutes past six o'clock, proceed to the choice of candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States,in the following manner, ‘Tho authorized delegates from each Stata shall vote viva voce fora oandida‘s for those of Prosident, in thole places: provided tno delegation shall cast a greater number of voto: than one each Representative and Senator to which sch State is in Congrons; and if, upon comparing the rosult of vote of all the delegations as afvresaid, it shall appear that no per- son shall have received » majority of ‘the whole number of votes kiven, the Convention shall proceed to a second vote in the same jmauner, and so on until a majority shall declare for some one of thy persons vo ed for. Resolved, ‘That when a candidate for the office of President shall be thus chosen, the Convention will proceed im like manner to the chotce of a candidate for the office of Vico Prosideat. A gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Campari.) had moved to amend—* that no candidate shall be entitled to re- cvive the nomination of this Convention for President or Vice President, unless he has given assurances that he will abide by and support the nomination; that if nominated, he will accept the nomination; that he will consider himseif the candidate of the whigs, and use all proper influence to bring into practical operation tho principles and measures of the whig party. We found, on entering, upon the floor, Mr. Harex, who was #aying the President has de- cided that tho amondment offered by the gentleman from Ohio is notin order, The resolution does not kay what persons shall be voted for. (Great confusion.) Now, I put it to house to decide whether the amendment is not proper of itself. Is there any gentleman on this floor who wants to nominate & person who is not a whig? (No, “no.?) Is any manin favor of nominating a candidate who is notin favor of whig principles? (- No,’ * no,”? “ never.’’) Does any man wish to nominate an individual who says that he does not belong to the whig party ? (* Who says so? I named no candidate. Does any one want to send a man here whois Tylerized? (+No.") Nosir Give us a man who isa whig, who will stand by wiig principles, and pledge himself to carry out every whig principle (“That's the sort.”) I want a man who will show by his works that he is a whig. Mr. Haswere and another gentlemen from Tennessee, rose at the same time. Both began to epeal ‘The Parsipent—The gentleman from Tennessee has the floor. Mr. Haskett.—Which one? The Presipent—The gentleman nearest the chair. LETTING OFF STEAM. Mr. Hasxe.t—I Hope that the decision of the chair willbe sustained, and that the Convention will pro- ceed as fast as possible. to vote for a candidate for Pre- sident and Vice President of the United States. The amendment of the gentleman from Ohio is out of or- der. Let me say, but in no offensive sense, tl ment of the gentleman is auinsult. (Hisses-s- loud cries of “ No,’ “no.’’) I have said that I do mot mean the remark as an insult. Why? That resolu- tion declares that this Convention will nominate no- body but a whig. Is anybody here who thinks that any person but a whig will be nominated? Standing here asthe whig representative of a whig district, | have a right to nominate anybody I please, even though he bea democrat. [Strong manifestations of displeasure. Cries of “No. you have'nt.” and_ hisses. While I contend that [ would not doso foolish a thing, no- body is obliged to vote for such an absurdity. Sir, it is too late to inquire into the qualifications Ag tie ofa man to be submitted to this Convention, The gentle- man who offered the resolution desires that the candi- date who may be nominated shall use his influence to promote his own election. I do not understand that this is requisite or proper. (A voice, “Move to lay upon thetable.””) This isa free country, and we are a people. and have the freedom of speech and thought, and tho ballot box is the greatest guaranty under our glorious institutions, We have a right to vote for whom we please, and vote for any person who is a freeborn. citizen of the United States. Let each particular sec- tion of this Union nominate a man. Let us vote for the man of our choico. If we ate worsted, let usdoas the Western man did when he got intoa conflict with a bear ; just grin and bear it! (Ha! ha! and applause.) I have now let off a great portion of ateam which | wished to explode. I hope the Conven- tion will sustain the decision of the Chair; let some member move to lay the resolution on th or some other good citizen of the Unit (“Good,” “agreed.” and clapping of hand Mr. Everett, of V@gmont, spoke from an experience of many years in Confress. He said that the question was not whether the resolution should be adopted. It was simply a question of order. Mr, Gesray aroso amid the general confusion, “Mr. President,” The President called to order ; and “order,”’ “order,” “question,” “question,” resounded through the hall. Mr, Guxtry—I rise—(getting high up on a bench.) ‘A delegate contested the right of Mr. Gentry to the floor. Half a dozen gentlemen in different parts of the hall were standing on the settees, bawling out “ Mr. Prosident’ “ Mr President.” ‘There was a buzzing of voices andealls to order, and, altogether, a scene of great confusion. Mr. Gentay—I rise to sustain the Chair. The Parsioext—[Knock, knock]—The gentleman will proceed. A GROSS AnsURDITY. Nr. Gentay--I rise to sustain the discision of the Chair, which | think conforms to the parliamentary ‘asage. The Chair has decided that the resolution of the gentleman from Ohio is out of order, because it is not germain to the question before the house. And what is the question before the Convention? It is a resolution proposing to prescribe the man- ner in which this Convention shall vote. The two questions aro wholly distinct and antag- onistical, What right have the Convention to any that I, one of the representatives of the whigs of the Union, shall vote for one candidate for the Prosi- dency, and not for another? The people. gentlemen, have commissioned you to be here, and to do their will, and unite upon candidates for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Is not that the representative doc- trine? We come here to carry their will into effect. The people are competent to determine who are worthy to rule over them; and this question is involved in the proposition of the gentleman from Ohio. Without meaning the slightest disrespect to the gentleman from ‘Ohio, and the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Harlan.) I must say it ina gross absurdity, No man ean pre- scribe for me who | shall vote for, and who shall re- ceive a majority of votes as the candidate of the whig party of the United States. (Applause.) Cries of “ question,”’ “ question,” “ order,” “ order.” NEW YORK—A PROTEST. Mr. Foren (mounting a settee)—I protest against the State of New York not being rd. Mr. Fowzen (also standing on a settee)—The great State of New York has not been heard. (‘We have heard hor all the time.”) 1 was going on to say, for New York, that-— The Puresipent—You can't until the question shall have been taken. (Crics of “Yeas and nays,” “question,” “question,” “order,” “order.”’) The Presionyt—The question is this: An appeal has been made from the decision of the Chair. A motion is made to lay that on the table. A Memoen, ina loud tone—The question is not un- derstood, Mr. Foucen (still on the pag hand tay have the floor. The Presipext knocked lustily, to restore order; during which time there were cries of ‘question,’ “question.” He said: Gentlemen cannot be under- stood unless ‘ngs keep order. Those who sustain the application for the yeas and nays will do so by rising. Mn, Fow.er—Is the question on the yoas and nays? Tur Parsipent—it is. [‘ That's the question.’’) The question was taken—the yeas and nays wore not ordered. and the appeal from thy deoision of the chair was laid upon the tablo, A THREAT. A momber moved the previous question on the adop- tion of the rerolution, Mx. Futtrn—I wish to move an amendment. and in the namo of New York I wish to be heard. If you do not aoe us, we shall be heard at the ballot boxes, {Hisses Tur Parsipent—The gentleman ts out of order. He can only be heard according to the rules. He wili have to conform to them, as well aa every other dele- gut Mn, Fuiten—I with to offer a resolution. Tue Peesipent—You will have an opportunity. Under the operation of the previous question, the Convention adopted tho resolution given above, that at a quarter past six o’clock they will proceed to vote tor a candidate for Prosident and Vice-President, &e. Jt was now more than a quarter past six. Mr. Gentny rose to a question of order. PLEDGES REQUIRED. Mr. Fuiixr wished to offer resolution, which was read, viz. Resolved As the first duty of the representatives of the whig party ix to presorvo the prineiples and integrity of that party, the claims Of ne candidate for nomination can be considered by this Convention, unless the candidate stands pledged ty support, od faith, the nominee, and to be the exponont of whig prin- that the Convention proceed to execute its order. The Presioent—The resolution of the gentleman from New York is out of order. Mr. Futter—I appeal from the decision of the chair. Tam from New York, and I say that no candidate no- minated by this Convention can receive the vote of that State, unless he come up to the platform. Gen- tlemen observe, how shall we say how men shall vote? The whig constituency sent us here to nominates whig, and to nominate nobody else who will not abide by the nomination. If we are to elect a whig, we must nominate a whig. Mr. Kina, of Georgia, moved that the Convention now proceed to the orders of the day. Mr. Ewina, of Tennessee—I move to lay the appeal of the gentleman from New York on the table. ‘A Detecate—I hope that wo will now proceed to the discharge of an important duty, (the nominations.) Mr. Asumun desired to speak; before doing #0, he wished to have the xesolution of Mr. Fuller read. ‘The Secretary read the resolution. Mr Asumun—I undorstand that the chair ruled that the resolution is out of order; that an appeal has been taken from the decision, and a motion made to lay the appeal upon the table. I make a request. ‘he Parsioent—The motion has not been made. Mr. Asumux—Then I have the floor. [“Goon.”] I hope no such motion will be made to lay on the table. “Te ha pen made.’’] Tho chair says it has not. [It as, sir.’ ‘Tho Parsioext explained. Tho chair gave the floor to the gentleman from Tennessee. But he kept mov- ing and moving, so that I did not know him from the other gentleman. (Ha! ha!) Mr. Asumux—Then the question is as though the mo- tion had not been made. I did not intend to make a speech. [* Go on.’ The Parsiprnt—I desire to know whether the gen- tleman from Tennessee moved that the appeal be laid upon the table ? ‘The Memnen from Tennessce made a reply. ent—I desire to know whether the gen- t motion. The Mey did intend to make it, at all events. (* Ha, ha! 300d !”") Mr. Asumun—It the gentleman did make it— The Memo: did. Mr. Asumun—I appeal to the gentleman to with- draw it. The resolution declares only the nomi- nee urust bes whip, and udthfugélse bute whhe Mr. Hitiiarn—I object to the resolution because the time has come to proceed to the voting. The Paesipent—The question of order does not seem to be understood resolution adopted this eve- ning. makes it the duty of the Convention to proceed to vote at acertain time. The hour has transpired, and on that ground the Chair decided the resolution to be out of order. Mr. Asumun—~The chair is right, but I appeal to my friend. I desire no test but that on which we can stand before the country. If thatis voted down will the peo- ple sustain us ? jever, never.?"] Mr. Gentry: ‘fe declare him a wheat voting for him. [ Thore are no persons here but whigs.”’] Mr. Broincer, of Kentucky—The resolution asks a man to be more than a whig. I move to lay it on the table. [* Louder.”’) A Memner called for the orders of the day. Mr. Jexirer, of Maryland—I have heard all parties declare their preferences. It is to nominate a whig, one who can be elected. [‘ That's it, that’s it.) 1 wish to define the position of the whigs of Maryland, so fur as I can understand it. She will give a whig vote. We care not who the nominee is. We believe no man who comes into the Convention is not a whig. We are instructed to give our votes for Henry Clay. If Clay " stp of the Convention we will give them for Zachary ‘aylor. The Presrnxnr called the gentleman to order. Mr. Jextrea—I wish to say— The Presipent—The question is on the appeal. Mr Jenirsh—-l aa STINE prenton Why. the appeel should not be sustained. ‘The Paxs:pxxt—I am assured that the appeal has not been withdrawn. [“Yes, it is.’'] How deovived we may be by our own ears! [“'True,” ha! ha !] Mr. Jexirer made another remai During all this time, the Conve! sion—so much so, that A De.eoate remarked, “Iask peg whether they cannot act with better feeling in a whig convention? I believe such a scene has never been presented, either in State or National Conventions. [‘It beats tho -foco Convention, at Baltimore, all hollow.” Ha! ion was in confu- ‘the Prrsipent, (to the delegate,)—However much we may approve of the gentleman 's remarks, he ig wandering from the question. A Devecate, verging from a crowd)---Let us drop the whole matter, and have a free interchange of opin- ion. If[ present a candidate to this Convention, I will state that that individual is governed by the wish- es of hin friends. Another delegate rose to a point of order. The Presipent—It has nothing to do with the ap- peal. We can’t get slong, unless gentlemen confine themselves to the subject. Mr. Brpixcen--I move that the appeal be laid upon the table. ‘The question was put, and the motion was agrecd to. A motion was made at twenty minutes to seven o'clock, to adjourn until to morrow at nine o'clock; but it was not agreed to. THE NOMINATIONS—THE STRUGGLE. There was new ne business before the Convention, save that of proceeding to nominate and vote. This stirred up the members to a ba high atate of oxcite- ment. ‘Several boys, with long torches, touched up the gas, and suddenly a flood of light burst upon the scene. A hundred members were on their legs. Mr. L. H. Camrartx, of Ohio, sung out, in a loud tone, “I nominate General Winfield Scott, and I say— at confusion] I make a pledge to the he isa whig, [knock, knook. “order’’) a et a he will carry out whig principles.— “Good.” The Prrstornt—Thegentleman may submit aname, but he cannot make a speech. Mr. Camrnrit—I don’t intend to make a speech.— [(“Order.”* A member in the crowd cried out, “General Zachary Taylor.” Mr. Couny. of New Hampshire—I nominate Daniel Webster. [No applause.] Mr. Dears, of Indiana, nominated John McLean, of Ohio. Gov. Ket, of Maine.—I nominate General Zachary Taylor, (Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! and hisses to quell the confusion.) Mr. Buunt, of New York—In behalf of the wie of the Union, I nominate Henry Clay. (Hurrah! hur- rab! hurra-ara-h ! Clapping of hands, hisses, and cries of “order,”? order.”’) ‘The Present began to rap, and continued to do #0 for at least two minutes. The excitement was now at its height. As soon as he knocked a hole in the noise, he said: “It is with deep be 7d that we witness such scenes. I saw what it would be when the gentleman from Ohio commenced. We came here to transact our business, in?’ — Pi tad ‘Waxes, of Delaware—I nominate John M. Clay- n. Mr. Gattowar, of Ohio, stated that he had a letter from Judge McLean, authorising him, in a certain con- dition of things, to withdraw his name ; that condition of things now existed, and he accordingly withdrew the Judge, with a reservation that in a different state of things, he would again nominate him. THE PORITION OF GENRRAL TAYLOR. Judge Sausvers, of Louisiana—I wish to say a word in explanation of the position of Gen. Tayior. Mr. Harlin, of Kentucky, approached the stand, and asked Mr. Vance, one of tho Vice Presidents, for a let- ter from Mr. Corwin. It was not, however. produce Mr. Sa ene—I ask to say « word in behalf of Gon. Taylor. [“ No,” “no. ‘he Parsipext—Is consent grantedb [“No,’ “no; “ eall the names,"’) The Parsinnnt—It has been moved to suspend the rules, to permit the gentlenan to make an oxplanation.

This was his position subse-_ quent to the capture of Monterey, and it is his position now, General Taylor desiros to be under- stood by his friends who come into the convention. He says that they aro bound to abide by the decision, everywhere—North and South. (Applause.) General Taylor will hail with satisfaction the nomination of any other than himself, being satisfied that a change | of men is required to arrest the downward tendency of | our national affairs. The delegates wish to be cander- | stood that this involves no inconsistency on the part of General Taylor. It will be the right of his friends, | and not his, to withdraw him. (Applause.) Mr. Gattoway asked leave to read a letter from Ge- | neral Taylor, dated January 30, 1848. Permission was granted. He ascended the stand, and took from hit pocket a newspaper slip, and commenced reading: * Your communication of the 15th instant has been | received, and the suggestions therein contained duly considered.” that in General ris it a slip from a news] Loway (continuing) — Taylor's hand per? m reply to yur en- t—I understand that the gentleman is reading from a letter.

(We have all read the letter.’’) An appeal was taken from tho deoision of the Chair, and the appeal laid upon the table. Mr. Gattoway got down from the stand, and wend- od his way to his seat. Mr, Trunman SmitH—I call for the reading of a let- ter from General Scott. Is leave granted? eg Paesipnnt—The Seoretary will please read the letter. ‘A Meatnen—Is the letter in manusoript ?

A Memara—I am unwilling to listen to electioneering harangues. “ Read the lettor,”’ “the letter.’ ‘‘ the letter.’? The Secretary unfolded the letter, and in a clear and audible tone, read as follows, viz:— Wasuinatox, June 3, 1848. Dear Sir—I hasten to acknowledge the honor of your letter of this date. I admit and feel all the force of the public views you havo laid before me. Until within a few days,{ had not supposed that my namo was at all likely to be brought before the great Whig National Convention. now soon to meet in Philadelphia. to select the candidate of the party for the next President of the United States Whether I receive votes or not in that enlightened body, for tho high Jiistinction in question, I shall, as a wrhig. feel myself bound, under every obligation that can bind a citizen to his country, to give to the nomi- nee—whether it be one or the other of the four distin- guished names with which mine is associated by you— all the moral influence and support it, may be in my power rightfully to exert. and I ought not to doubt that all whigs will be equally patriotic and earnest in the fame good cause, Reciprocating the personal friendship with which you honor me, I remain, my dear sir, faithfully yours, WINFIELD SCOTT. Hon. Trueman Smith, &e. &c. The letter was received by the cheers, clapping of hands, and stantping of feet. were a fow extra scroams in the galleries. The Convention then proceeded to THE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. The name of every member was called, when he gave the name of the candida ¢ to whom he was favorable. When the first vote for Zachary Taylor was given, there wera screams of delight, and clapping of hands in the galleries, and hisses-s-s-s. Mr. Stantry, of North Carolina—The hisses are from locofocos in the galleries. ‘They will turn to groans in November, Rhod- Island cast her four votes for Henry Clay, and this gave rise to extravagant outbursts of delight. So it was when the eight votes of Maryland were thrown on the same side. Allthe names having been called, the Secretaries began to add up, during which there were hurrahs out- side.

Another motion, to get rid of the confusion, was made to adjourn. ‘The yeas and nays were called, but not ordored, and on taking a rising vote, The Presipent decided that the Convention had ad- Journed.

While the secretaries were counting up the result, a sound of aheers came up from the outside, and the people in the galleries took up the echo, and repeated the rounds of applatise. Order being in a measure re- stored, the President ennounced that General Zachary ‘Taylor, having received majority of all the votes given, is declarod to be the nominee of this Convention for Prosident of the United States. The shouts from the people in the galleries and the people outside were seconded by the Convention, and neatly all hands joined in the shouts of laughter and emphatic accla- mations. Colonel Webb smiled all over, like the full moon, and his shouts were ably seconded by Mr. Fuller, of tae New York Mirror ; Mr. Greeley, on the other hand, sat at the reporter's table, gloomy as de- spair, and Colonel Fowler, of New York, was near us, looking also : | CccOOM MH OOS COMO OHHH OS He El copccco coco coeSsooccccoccos om Bl cocecmBococooocosocomSe “Grand, gloomy, and peculiar.” Motion to adjourn to four o'clock.

No deliberation was necessary for the further aetion of the Convention. There could not be a better opportunity. He had fears of the nomination, but he hoped that he should be deceived in his apprehensions. He hoped they would proceed to the nomination of a Vice Presi- dent, and as an earnest of his good fecling he would propose as a candidate for Vico President the Hon. Mil- lard Fillmore, of New York. (Cheers) Mr. Cannot, of New York, would make no speech. The Convention had spoken. He hoped the Conven- tion would proceed to the nomination of a candidate for Vice President, and that the nominations would be mupported unenimoualy; and that we should mect our friends in Independence Square, this afternoon, to ratify the nominations.

Of all the distinguished names in the free North, not not one man had received a vote South of Mason and Dixon. The bond of union be- tween the North and the South is broken. The free States can no longer submit. It has been decreed 6; the Whig National Convention, that the whtg party ts this day dissolved.

Mr. Gatroway said that he was a whig, an ultra-whig; he had been a whig in storm and suushine, and he could say here that he never scratched a whig ticket. He could not say what he would do in relation to the nomination. He must first go home, and hear what his constituents had to say. He came to the Convention under pledges, to vote for him only who was opposed to the extension of slave territory. There “are doubts in Ohio of the whiggery 6f General Taylor. He quoted a long piece of poetry, telling what he would not do, con- cluding with the lines: “All around, above, below, By our indignant answer, ‘No.’ Judge Woodbridge, of Massachusetts, was nominated for the Vice Presidency. A Member from Massachusetts said that Massachu- setts spurned a bribe. She did not consider the nomi- nation of Abbot Lawrence asa bribe offered to them. He merely wished to say in reply to his colleague, that the nomination of Mr. Lawrence is no bribe, and that ‘he will receive the vote of Massachusetts.

A VOICE FROM CONNECTICUT, Mr. Bancock came from Connecticut to vote for Mr. Clay, but another leader has been relected, to use his” own language, to arrest the downward career of the country. He earnestly believed that Connecticut will sustain the nominees of the Convention. A VOICE FROM ALABAMA, Mr. Lanovon regretted that he could not say as much for Alabama as the gentleman has for Conneeti- cut. The whigs have fought against fearful odds there and have arisen to be a respeetable party, causing their opponents to respect them.
