(Apolauae.) The PResivent called the speaker to order. ‘The resolution was referred. The Pras:nenz calied the attentioa of the delegates to the crowded state of the hall. He usd learned that dete- gates, after taking their seats, had cent cards of admis- @ion to outsiders. He appealed « the honor of gentie- men not to do so, The committee to select a National Democratic Com- aoittee was then appointed. Ona motion being made to esjourn and negstived, alls were made for the report of tue Committee on Cve- dentials. Mr, Prrir, of Indiana, said that time enough had been ‘wasted. There was no occaticn t> wait for the Com- mittee on Credentials, He mover, therefore, that the committee proceed at once to noninate a candilate for President. Mr. saynancry, of Del., thought it wrong to make ‘@ nomination during the absenc» of the delegates from New York. Mr Honnaro, of Texas. took the seme ground, saying ‘that New York was the greavist Sta’e in tue Union, and ‘wan entitled to a voice in the nomination. The piatform had alreacy been passed over her head. Mr. Petit witharew his motion. Mr. Witson, of lows, was willing to give New York a chance in the appointment, but he was not willing to mognify the quarrels of that State iato undue importance.

It wan lamentable that the great democracy should be rent by digeensions; but thsy have pawed away, and vention adjourned both have agreed vo bury the pest in oblivion, uniticg on the last two platforms adopted in New York Stats, He then read the report ani preamble as modifies, re- cognising the softs ar a regalarly organiz-d portion of the democratic party, and the hards 6 an orgenized body, resolving that the two sec'ions be now coosoldated; tnat the otis have forty-four delegates and the barda twenty-s'x, and that the minority should not be overridden by the msjority; alo, that delegate: be allowed to register their votes on the platform. H+ trusted po discussions would come into the Conveation, but that the report would be unanimously adopted. Very slight app'ause follo sed. Senator Bayan, of Del., on taking the stand was greeted with immerse applause, He said, that as Cha'r- man of the Committee on Credentials, he was bound to make a minority report. The minority felt thet they had no right to wake» distmotion between the delega. tions, but that each section should be sdmitted to an equal representation. He regretied the necessity for a minority report, but he woul! not flinch from hii duty. The mirority report reviews the setion of the commit fee, and goes into an arguxent to show that the hards are the regular democracy, and tho #of# seceders, some- times acting for, and sometimes opposed to tne {nterests of the party, The report finally concludes with the fol- lowing resolutions.

He desired, withoat further discussion, and giviog the hards the ad- vantage of along report, to move the previous question. (Slight applause, aud numerous cries of “No, n0.””) Mr. Ricragpson, cf Iil., wanted to nave some remarks, and ed Mr. Butler to withdraw his motion. Mr. BoTier refused, but afer a n-isy demonstration against taking the question without debate, he withdrew the call. Mr. Ricnarpaon sald be did not wish to interfere with New York politics, bu’: he was opposed to the adoption of either report. Mr, Mrapx, of Va., asked if the previous question, if ordered, would include both reports, ‘The Prasipeyr raid the simple demand was for tho pre- vious question, as the report stood on the table. The question would have been on the miaority report, but he unéerstord the gentleman from Massachusetts to move for the adoption cf the msjority report, and on thet moved the previous question, The question would there- fore be on the maj rity report. Mr, McLays, of Md., roge to ® point of order, and sai@ tt was not in order for the gentleman from Massachusetts to move for the adoption of the mejority report. The resolutions only weie before the House, and the resolu- tion stood in the piace of an amendment tothe majority. The Presipenr decided tie point of order well taken, asying that if the previous question was ordered the question would be on the minority resolution. Immense con'usion now ensued. Several delegates staove to speak, while the Chair ioudly rapped for order. ‘The Cuam represented to the Cmvention that, however humble he might be. he would enforce the rules, Ihe main question was then ordered, amidst immense shouts—ayes 20, Mombere cailed for the reading of the resolutions, the greatest confusion prevailirg.

Several members rushed to the Chair to apeak. Mr. Ronixeox, of Inc., moved to Isy the whole subject on the table.

If youadopt elther report, I shall have to explain {t a'l next summer. A resolution thould be adopted—not a report. If we marry this couple, I don’t think we ought to go back and give them a bed reputation. (Laughter.) Mr. MEaDE, of Va., got the floor, but was interrupted by demands of reveral delegates to know what question was before the Convention. ‘The Cnam did not exactly know, but finally decided it to be cn the adoption of the minority resolution to divide the delogaticns equally, (Cries ot “‘question.’) Mr. MEADE was satisfied with that decision.

Internal Imprevements and Pretection— Unsuccessful Attempt to Get ap a Slavery Discussion—Protest Against the Exclusion or Mr. Clurke—Vote of Thanks to the Preas, . THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Council met yesterday morning, in Knickerbocker Hall. There were but few members present, probably not over thirty at most. It was geuerally understood that the business of the Council had, in fact, closed on Wed- nercay evening, and that the only matters remaining un- disposed of were the appointment of executive and othee committees, and some arraagements as to finaccial mat- ters, That accounted for the pauctty of members pre- tent, After the Council was called to order a resolution was offered by Mr, Alexander, of Md., for the appointment of & National Exesutive Committee, to consist of two mem- bers from each State, to co-operate with the committees of the several States, Mr. Bisare, of Va., epoke in support of the resolution. He war not only in favor of the appointment of sucha commitiee, but waa also in favor of investing it with power over the orgazization of the party, inasmuch aa he felt sure tha’ @ complete organization would render certain the election of Mullard Fillmore, In Virginia organize tion was all that was wanted to ensure the vote of that State, The lack of such organization was {n his opinion the real cause of the defeat of the party there in the last election. He instanced the great power which the demccratic party derived from a thorough organiza- tion, and raid that that was the grest seoret of ita sac- cess. If the American party were to be remiss im that exsential point, there wes not the slightest hope of Mr. Fiilmore’slelection. Mr, Woon, of Brooklyn, moved to amend the resole- tion, so that @ n&tiopal committee, composed of om> member from each State and five from New York, with an alternate for each, be appointed to co-operate with the State organizations, The amendment was agreed ti adopted. Mr. Bisnrx, ot Va., offered a resolution, condemning th » action of those who had refused to rat! y the nominations made at the Fhiladelpt it Convention, and who had gone over to the bogus Convention. The resolution denounced them as bolting solely for the reason that thelr own fa_ vorite was not nominated, and begged them “seriously toonsider before they adopta couree which not only every impal+a of honor, but every principle of political horesty must unequivocally condemn.”’ ‘The introduction cf this resolution caused considerable commoticn among the brethren; and the disposition ma- nifested by vome members to sow the seeds of dissension and discord in the party was condemned. The rerolution was referred to the Committee on Reso- Jutions, and there was an end of it. Mr, Sot. Bantu, of Mo., Who was somewhat chafed at beirg described in the newepapers as Saml. Smith, Jr., Presented a resolution. pledging the party in favor of internal improvements, the principle of protection to American marufactures and art, and the employment of American in preference to foreign laborers. The introduction of the resolution also met with eon- siderable opposition, on the ground that it was not proper to bind the party to any declaration of policy, while there was such # slim representation. Severs, members spoke against ihe resolution on that ground, and firally Mr. Smith withdrew it. A motion was then made to go into seeret session. Mr, Sor SaitH opposed the motion, as he wanted te call up some resolutions indicating the hostility of the Coure!l to abolition sentiments. He severely Janimad- verted upon the conduct of the New Engisnd clergy, as- serting that there was more danger to the South from the “three thousand ministers’’ of that region than there was from the old Pope of Rome. Gries of “Qrder, order,” and “Let him go on.’? The motion to go iato secret session was temporarily postponed. and so Mr. Smi'h’s oration was cut short. Mr. Brirtos, of N. Y., presented a protent, signed by the Chairman and Secretary ot the Conventicn of the Ninth Congressi istrict of New York, at which Mr. Bayard Clarke w: ected delegate to the Council, against the action of the Council in refusing to admit Mr. Clarke to aseat. The protest declared that that Convention was the only legittmate one beld in thea district for that per: pore; tl the Council had no constitutional right to make the adhesion or non-adhesion of a delegate to the Philadephia Convention a test question, and that there was nothing to lead to the interence that the Americans of that district were notfaithfally devoted to the prinot- ples of the American Order. jche protest was not read, but ordered to be placed on le. 3,17 to placard the aud the resolution wae On motion of Mr. ALEXANDER, of Md., 8 vote of thanks waa passed to the press of New York, for its fair and accurate reports of the proceedings of the Council.
