There was a full attendance. The heat was most oppressive. Fans were waving in all ditections, Ene uravings of Scott, Fillmore, and Webster were suspended frem the walls, ‘The Pnesturnt called the convention to order at twelve o'clock, when the proceedings were opened with a prayer hy the Rev. Dr, Atkinson, (Epizeopalian) of this city. | ‘The proceedings of yesterday having been read, Messrs. | Canrit and Bransronp severally introduced resolutions | | adcpling rules for the government of the convention, ‘Lho resolution of Mr. Welsh, for the samo purpose, of- | fered yesterday, was withdrawn, when, after a debate, the | following, proposed by Mr, Borrs, was adopted :— | Resolved, aha titled to ee many ¥ Jed to in. the Blevioral ouseof Reprosenta vention, 00 faras the gamo | On the adoption of the res tinued upplause, The Pxesipent made an appeal to gentiemon to observe order, He trusted that the utmost sileace wonld be generally observed; and remarked that continued demon- | rizations of applause was unbecoming the dignity and | character of American citizens.

Mr. Vax Trump, of Ohio, said--I dosire to make a single remauik, It strikes me with some surprise that im- portant revoltions like these should be introduced at | this stage of the proceedings of the convention. I | thought yesterday there was some manifestations of this } sort; and when the gentleman from Massachusetts askod whether it was the intention to make a contest on the question of organization, the Ohio delegation promptly answered, no, and I then asked him if he intended to fol- | low up this organization by any important movement or proposition, and he answered that ho dil not. T consider that genticman, therefore, pledged against any such pro- position as this till the C ommittee on Credentiais shall huve mado a report who are to vote on these resolutions Weare not prepared to vote upon them. for we have not yet determined who ave members of the convention. and who are enuitled to vote. We cannot vote upon them, with propriety. in ihe present coufused state of some of the delegations in the con resolutions are of the most important character of great delicacy, and upon which there is, wafortui : fue ba difference of opinion among the whigs of all see- tions of the country. Upon ruch a subject it is impor- tant that there should be a vote of the couyention given by the persons properly entitled to vote. and by none | others, We want nothiag but what is fair, and will sub- | mit to nething but what is fair We are willing to wait for the report of the Commitee on Credentials, aud for a decision upon that report. We are willing to comp down bere by the side of old Virginia, who is said ‘never to tire.” Who can say who | is to vote upon theso resolutions? Who can say who, from New York, representing contested districts, are entitled to vote in this convention? Had we not better wail till we have settled this question of eredontials ? this view, I move the postponement of these reso- iutions till the incoming of the report of the Committee on Credentials. Mr. Duncan said—The gentleman from Ohio states his surprise that these resolutions have been introduced. Ue Was noi more surprised than L was, at the evident feoling, with which they haye been opposed. ‘The gentleman from Massachusetts may have said he would not introduce any proporition of this kind, and he will doubtless fecl the 1uil force of his obligation; but that course by the gen- | tieamen from Massachusetts does not inde any other genileman, or delegation, from any State from making avy proposition it thinks proper.

But Texpeet uo | such course by the convention. We desire to know from | gentlumen whether or not we cannot agree upon a plat- | form broad enough and strong enough to insure the | vnion and success of the principles of the whig party of the whole Union, Mr. Asumun, of Mass,—I rise to say that I have pledged | nobody. conferred with nobody, and committed nobody. | Livery gentleman has the same right to commit himself | or stand free from committal. I knew of no intention to | offer the resolution, T think it injudicious to press ac- | tion so long as any portion of this convention desires a tponement. until it shail have been decided who are entitled to vote, Mr. Moncan. of Md., said the Committee on Creden- tiais, Who retired for consultation, determined to ad- journ. and have returned to participate in the proceed- right to do so. Ak they are not ready to report. I camnot see the propriety of sitting here, and Lagree with the gen- tieman from Massachusetts that we had better now ad- | jour until five o'clock thie afternoon, | Mr Canvtx, of Florida will merely say to the gen- | tleman from Louisiana. who introduced these resolutions, that. in ail our proccedings, we should take care to com- | mit no wrong, and do right. I think the geatleman wrong in proposing his sories of resolutions Ido not the Commitiee on Credentials shall have made their ro- port, but. at the sawe time, I think that there would be no impropriety in considering the first two resolutioas, | which simply provide for the appointment of a com- mitteo, Mr Vas Truster called for a division of the question— that the vote be taken on the first resolution, Dir Cansut repented he had no objection to appointing , ce man from cach State, ench State to have | uimert of the man, He was opposed to the last | resolution, As he had obtained the floor by courtesy he renevid the motion to adjourn, though he trusted it would not prevall tien, Crance, of Missieeippt, said—Although I concur ‘with the gentleman from Louisiana. yet T think the reso- lutions premature; and I uest him to withdraw the last cne for the present. in order that the committee on | the frat may be appointed, to which there ewn be n0 ob- | jection Mr, Done. acquiceced in the suggestion.

Ind ypendent- ly of this. how would harmony be produced by the pro- posed course of electing the committee, Which woutd be Most likely to preduee harmony, to give each sovereign Btate on equal right to be heard on that committee or to the three delega‘es of three States the power to swallow uy adozon smaller States?

The convention was not prepared now to say who are entitled to vote upon this or any oiker proposition; therefore, he moved that the whole subject be laid on the table, Le withdrew this motion ut the request of the Hon.

This queetion of power shows the necessity of a rigid auhernee to the constitution, to preserve the li the Sta.es and the Union of the States, (Applause.) I procisim it now—this is the wildest effort to alienate one section of the country from the other, Why this i novaticn upon all established rules?

NO CHANCE FOR SCOTT—KITHER FILLMORE OR WEB- STER WILL BE THE MAN. Baxtimonr, June 17-1234 P. M. The current is still strong against Scott, and the only Lope of his friends now, is that they may be able to foment some diszensions between the friends of Web- ster and Fillmore, and take advantage of it. The Web- ster men stand firm. and argue that, as he holds the balance of power between Scott and Fillmore, he should be tuken as a compromise, The real Fillmore men, it is but ji to vay, care very little ax to whether he or Webster is nominated. They regard the fight as one of principles, and they consider that the defeat of the Seward faction will be an all sufficient triumph. This being the case, there is not a true friend of Fill- more who ix not willing to cast his vote for Webster, if it can be demonstrated it will secure his nomination, But the fear is, that the moment any of the delegates instructed for Filmore change their yotes to Webster, certain delegates in Virginia, Kentucky and Tenues- K of the Jones stripe. may seize upon it as an excuse to vote for Scott. and, perhaps, cary: him. The experiment is a dangerous one. and it is more than probable, there- fore, that Killmore’s friends will hold on either till he pete the nomination, or it is domonstrated they can elect Webster. ‘The Committee on Credentials have decided in favor of the Vermont Fillmore delegates, It is he- lieved they will also report in favor of the New York con- testants, and throw overboard the Astor House dieta- ion, x.

The Committee onCre- Centials are now in session, and will not adjourn until their labors are completed, Whe friends of each condidate are very sanguine, and bets to a considerable amount are offered and taken by the friends of Scott and Fillmore, while the general impression is that Webster's chance is improving. and that he will eventually succeed by a union of his friends with those of Fillmore.
