Review of Wednesday's Proceedings—Stampede of the Abolitionisis—The Administration Repudiated—The Vote on the Platform, dc., de. The proceedings of yesterday constituted the crisis— and a most trying one it was—of the nationality of the American organization, The fact was apparent that abolitionism, in its most hideous forms, with emboldened front and arrogant pretension, in the East, West and Northwest, had not only seized the vestibule, but with wicked and unwashed hands had defaced the ceurts ofthe inner temple. The period to define positions, principles—in short, to expound Ameri- canism, its objects and aims—had been precipitated by the estranged action of Massachusetts from known and recognized doctrines, and the demand was equal to the criala, ib was wisely determined that the homogeneousaess of the organization should either be vindicated or the or- ganism of the body politic resolved into its proper con- stituentelements; and with that especial object in view series of measures, involving the very issues upon which were based the distinctive sectionalisms that in- vaced its national integrity, were introiuced for the avowed object of the separation. Those measures, enunciating no new or unjust exac- tions, being as old and imperative as the enactments of the constitution of the United States, and upon the posi- tive requirements of which they were based, operated as a bombshell in the general assemblage—only wound- ing, however, those against whom the constitutional projectile was levelled and discharged. The extent of the damage, ’tis true, was greater than was anticipated, and the vast excision, now thatit has been fally real- ized, has only served to improve the national health and spirits, and make the national body politic more ju- Dilant and patriotic. The full particulars of this abolition stampede I will furnish you when the deliberations of its morniag cau- cus sha l have been disclosed, which doubless will be before the close of this communication. Regarding, as I do, the nstional pronunciamento the the event of the times, and a spectacle of moral grandeur unparalleled by modern political deliberation and ac tion, if leisure permitted me I would delight to eulogize the men, the act and the deed; but as my space is re- stricted, I content myself by the negative affirmation, that it was not designed, in any phase, to endorse in apy particular the imbecile and rotten Pierce @ynasty, or the demagogue Douglas, or any of his wily schemes for place or power. Neither the one nor the other merited or received the least consideration at the hands of the Convention. It simply met the is- sue, and in « constitutional way forced upon the deli- berations of the body by the’emboldened demands of a progressive fanaticism, and now leaves to every Ameri- can the exalted privilege of standing erectly and proudly upon the conetitution and laws, without the sacrifice of pereomal respect, duty and integrity. A striking fact, and one you cannot have failed to re mark, bas been discloged in this discussion, and that that whilst the entire South was a unit on the mejority platform, searcely a member from thence, in the many speeches made by them, essayed an apology for the Kaneas-Nebraska act; and whilst generally sub- scribing to the doctrine of non-intervention, neverthe- lees repudiated the mover and the administration which foisted it upon the country at the tremendous expendi- ture of plighted faith, &e. ‘The majority report was adopted by— ‘AYES. New York, Texas, District of Columbia, Missieipi jumble, pi, Vi sores Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, da, California, Louisiane, Maryland. NOES. “New Jersey, Illinois, New Hawpshire, Ohio, Maine, Towa, nope Pennsylvania, Connecticut.” Wieeass necticut, Michigan, Minnesota. Among the latter the report had two votes from Penn- sylvania, one from Maine, and two or three others from other States. It ie generally conceded here that Penn- sylvania was misrepresented, andjthat perhaps no State stands more securely on national grounds, Many of the factioiists have left, whilst the national: ists are quietly prosecuting the business of the Conven- tion, the detat!s of which I will give you by telegraph. Yesterday’s Proceedings. MORNING SESSION. REPORT ON THE RITUAL—AMBRIOAN CATHOLICS BX- CLUDBD FROM THE ORDER, ETO. PHILADELPHIA, June 14, 1855. The Convention assembled at nine o’clock this morn- ing, pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Alexander, of Maryland, Chairman of the Commit- ‘tee, made a report on the Ritual, suggesting no very ma- terial alterations except in the terms of membership, the principal change proposed being the admission of American Catholics, This proposed modification gave rise toa most animated discussion, in which Messrs, Lyons of New York, Williams of Kentucky, Rayner of North Carolins, Brown of Temnessee, Mallory of New ‘York and Cunningham of South Carolina, participated, and resulted in the defeat of the proposition by a very large{majority. Mr Hopkins, of Alabama, Chairman of the Commit- ‘tee, asked and obtained leave to give publicity to the platform of principles adopted by the Convention. Mr. Rayner, of North Carolina, offered a resolution, authorising the report of the proceedings ina fuller form humble reporter, who, notwithstanding his mere outline reports, has received at the hands of the members generally the most polite attention, it being, in fact, the second proposition, s similar ome, and for the same ob- ject, having been made during the past week—and by a recognized reporter, which, after some debate, the hour pete npc met halt having arrived, was laid over ronan hr anol tug Naresh” a harhony pervades the day's proceedings.

A motion was made to requisetthe Seeretary, at the termination of the general session, to publish the pro- ceedings in all newspapers friendly to the organisation.

The Northern dele gates to the Council met at 8 o'clock, at the Gi- rard House, for the purpose of organizing s Northera Order, Hon, Henry Wilson was called to the chair, and H. M. kecAllen, of Oh'o, was appointed Secretary. Hor. J. W. Foster, of Mass, presented the following platform, which, after having besn read, was signed by the citizens of the several States, as below:— PLATFORM, ‘TO TEE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. The undersigned citizens of the various States assem- bled at Phitsdelphia on this 14th day of June, 1855, feel constrained, under the existing state of affairs, to affirm the following principles:— Firt!—The unconditional restoration of that time- honored compromise known as the Missouri Prohibition, which was destroyed im utter disregard of the popu! wili—a wrong no lapse of time can palliate, and no plea for its continuance can justify; and that we will use al constitutional means to maintain tne positive guarantee of its compact, until the ebject for which it was enacted has been consummated by the admission of Kansas and Nebraska as free States. Second—That the rights of settlers in Territories to the free and undisturbed exercise of the elective fran- chine guaranteed to them by the laws under which they are organized, should be promptly protected by the national executive whenever violated or threatened, and ‘that we cannot conscientionsly act with those who will not aid us im the correction of these national wrongs, and will not even permit their fair consideration and full discussion. Third—We further declare our continued and unalter- able determination to use all honorable efforts to sesure such a modification of the naturalization laws, aided by such elevation of public sentiment as shall preserve the true ixterests of the nation, and shall guarantee these vital principles of a republican goverament—spiritual freedom and free Bible schools—thereby promoting the great work of Americanising America. Fourth—That we invoke the arm of legislation to ar- rest that growing evil, the deportation by foreign au- thorities of paupers and convicts to our shores; and that, as our national constitution requires the chief executive of our country to be of native birth, we deem it equally necessary and important that our diplomatic representa- tives abroad should aiso posses no foreign prejudices to bias their judgment orto influence their official action. ‘MASSACHUSETTS. onto, Henry J.

A very curious story nas been circulated to-day, within a narrow circle, and I give it to you for what it is worth, The rumor is that, during the last session of the late Congress, Prentice of the Louisville Journal, Raynor, Flournoy, and other gentlemen of the South, met in this city, in secret conclave, the result of which conference was a promise of nearly all of the whig Congressmen from the slave States to cast their lot with the Know-Nothings. Stephens, Toom>s, Kerr, and a few others, declined, and are now actively ongaged im fighting that Order, while the others—at least some of them—are as fiercely engaged fighting on the other side. It is further said that Bell, of Tennesses, was spoken of, (in connection with Houston,) for the Prosi- dency. “He had voted against the Kansas-Nebraske Dill, and this, it was thought, would mate hir accept- able to the North, while, being s Southern man, he ‘would not be damaged in that section of the country. bp the le Ap Aah not, Sor, ioe to confirm the rumor. zi Grand American Mass Mecting in the Park, New York.

BARKER, KNOW SOMETHING NATIONAL CONVENTION. Curious Proceedings of the Abolitionists at Cleveland. APLATFORM ADOPTED—ANNOUNOEMENT OF THE PHIL- ADBLPHIA BOLT— GREAT BXCITEMENT, ETO. Crevetaxp, June 14, 1855, The Committee on Platform reported last evening, and it has been under discussion most of the time since, and, with the exception of one resolve, has been adopted. It is strongly anti-Nebraska and anti-Papal, and resog- nizes the principle cf temperance. A very able and in- teresting discussion was had upon some of its points. This forenoon a despatch was received from the Kaow Nothing Conveation im Philadelphia, by the Convention here, announcing as follows :— ‘The North defeated ! The alas latform adopt- ‘Thirteen yon T Ged eternally darn i States withd mt TR hn a It was received with tremendous shouts and cheering Several Northern delegates from the Philadelphia Con vention bave arrived here, and, it is said, were waited upon by a delegation of thé Know Somethings, and in- vited to a seat in their Convention. Great enthusiasm prevails. The platform will proba- bly be adopted this afternoon. PLATFORM OF THE KNOW SOMBTHINGS. ‘The Committes om Resolutions, consisting of one from each State, have reported the following resolutions, They were revised, slightly modified, and passed to-day. The preamble asserts that the servility to the slave power, the characteristic of existing political parties, is perilous to manhood, to the beat interesta of the North, and to the liberties of the republic. ‘The first resolution declares that the issue before the American public is, whether freedom is to be limited to free States, and slavery to slave States. Second. That the issne has been forced upon the codntry by slave power aggmessions. ‘Tird. That these aggressions, and espec*atly the Ne- Drastg outenge, pad the assault upon ty, elective frna: . @ Bolt of the Abolition Delegates—Sepa- | chise of Kansas, have aroused the freemen of the re- public, and that they will maintain their rights, and re- slat the additions of slave territory. Fourth That tHey will maintain the nationality of freedom. Fifth. That the friends of freedom snould make prin- ciples, not birthplace, the test of admission to citizen- abip. Sixth. That we will repel every ecclesiastical inter- ference in political affairs, by potentate, pontiff or priest, as destructive of the right to worship God according to the dictates ot conscience and to liberty, , Seventh. Recommends action in the sqveral States fot the promotion of temperance. Eighth. Agreeizg to eupport free schools, free labor, and harbor improvements. Ninth. To strive for the election of men of integrity, and with nerve to resist aggression of any kiad. Tenth. For these objects we are ready to unite with al! mem, uncer any name or organization, to aid in carrying into operation there principles. The Convention is in session this evening, and will probably finish and adjourn to-morrow, Local Muitary Movements. _. VISIT OF & NEW HAVEN MILITARY COMPANY. ‘The National Blues, Captain Bissell, of New Haven, Conn, arrrived in this city yesterday morning, They were received at Peck slip by the Highwood Guards, Captain Hatfiela, of Hoboken, who marched with thoir guesta to Odd Fellows’ Hall, Hoboken, where they were treated to a sumptuous collation. Speeches were made by Captains Hatfeld and Bissell, songa sung, and a good time had generally. They were afterwards reviewed by Mayor Clickener and the authorities of Hoboken, and ‘ended the day by visiting Burton’s theatre. The New Haven company turned out forty muskets, and were accompanied by a brass band. Their uniform it of ceep blue, with light blue facings, and a grenadier cap. Their step and crill were very excellent, and re flected much credit on the military taste of the people of the City of Elme, They will no doubt be entertained be- fore their departure, by some of our city military. PARADE ©F THE FIRST BRIGADE NEW YORE STATE MILITIA. ‘The First, Second, Third and Seventy-first regiments, composing the Firat Brigade of the New York State Mi litia, will parade on the 20th inst , under the eommand of Brigader General Charles B.

A large and respectable audience assembled in the chapel of the Colored Home, in Sixty-fifth street, to witness the exercises commemorative of the fifteenth . anniversary of that institution. Mr. W. W. Chester was called to the chair, and after a prayer, the Rev. J. H. Wiis was introduced, who entered into a minute history of the institution, which he stated was for the use of aged and indigent colored people, alco for lying- in colored women. Dr. Prime, of the Christian Observer, and Mr, Pardee, of the Sunday School Union, also spoke.

A majority of the committee were pre sent, consistirg of Messrs Prentiss, Wsiawright and Clifton, There were about # dozen farmers in attend ance, and twice that number of the deslera of Washizg ton Market. A few minutes after three o’clock, the | time appointed, the chairman, Mr. Clifton, stated that the committe were ready to hear what both parties had to say, and expressed the hope that something might be done by which the citizens of New York conld be fur~ nished with provisions cheaper than they were now psy- ing. Mr. Lorr, of Jamaica, L. 1, om bebalf the farmersy read the following statement, setting forth their de- mands — The Privilegeof selling their own own wagons, brought by them from their farms, which, According to the present existing city ordinance, they ble todo, The grievances which we suilor are {—The ground at present allotted is entirely inade- quate to allow us a place to offer our produce for sale. Leger Baer are compelled to occupy West and Dey streets, at which places the clerk regularly collects the market fees, and at six, or at six and a half o’clook M. are driven from our position. We then have place to offer fer aale our produce, and the comsequance |, the wary speculator takes it from the producer at whatever he pleases to give, and gets from the consumer whatever be thinks fit to charge. From the first of May to the first of November, the average amount of vegetables brought to market daily is from 600 to 1,000 wagon loads. We desire some place to occupy with our wagons, where we ean offer for sale, freah from our farms, our own Pg! and by these means enable us to furnish the eltizens of New York with good, fresh and wholesome articles, instead of tho present sun-burnt, decayed, pu- trified articles offered by the common spesulator, and thi to at much reduced prices from those at present ‘The grounds known as the Square, west of West street, between Vesey and Dey streets, (at present occupied by the,shanties of squatting speculators) extending from West street line to the outer dock along the river, we desire to have appropriated for the use and trade of those growing vegetables, and that no person who is mot an agriculturist, or who is not employed by such agri- culturist te sell the produce of farm from his wagon, shall be allowed to squat himself upon such square to be first filled properly, by some policeman selected to take charge of market in the night time, and then if it shall be found insuffi- cient to accommodate the wagons of the produce grow- ers, we pray for the ure of certain streets, selected by your honorable body, until 7 o'clock, A. M. I presume, continued Mr, Lott, the committee would like to know the fuil particulars of this matter,and what are the grievance of which we complain. Now, what we have to complain of mainly, isthe want of space to ena- ble us to sell our produce, that allowed being insuficient for more than 250 market wagons, You are well aware of the enormous amount of vegetables raised and the number of wagons which bring produce to market from the first of May to the first of November. From the first of May asparagus begine to come in to market, and peas about the firstof June. After these come potatoes, then cabbages, which continue tiil the first of November, and from that till the first of Aprila large number come in with potatoes, cabbages, turnips and other vegetables. During the past winter the ave- rage number of wagons in market daily was seventy-five. Now, the question is, have we a right to offer our pro- duce for sale in New York, and is it for the interest of the city to have our produce brought here? We ara not allowed to stand in the atreet after haif past sixin the morning, and it is impossible forusto sell our produce after that bour, as the police then give us notice to leave. In regard to the argument that we are opposed to the sale of Southcrn produce on account of compe- tition, I have only to say that there is really no compe” tition, becaure our stuff does not begin to come in till the South has ceased sending her produce to market. ‘The very moment the Long Island produce begias to ar- rive, the Southern trade is done, and those very men who take the Southern produce buy that' from Long Toland and rend it fouth.

Mr. Lorr—Yee, sir. Mr. €11vron—Does it cost any more to raise market produce now than it did ten years ? Mr. Suypam—Yes, sir. A man could hire a farm about ten years ago for $150, which he cannot get now for less than $500 or $600. Mr. Wainwkicut—Do these speculators make the pro- duce dearer to the consumers in the city? Mr. Suypam—Well, that depends upon the amount brought to market. There would be more brought to market if there were better accommodations, and I be- eve this would make the produce cheaper.
