Emery, Long -before the howe for the assembling of the Convention the passages leading to the ball were crowded with people, and it was with a good deal of trouble that tie delegates were able to gain admission. ‘There was a good deal of enthusiasm in the crowd, and several of the well known leaders of the party were greeted with cheers. The Chevalier Webb was one of the lions, and looked as largely magnificent as if he was going to dine with Palmerston, or Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, When tho Kansas delegation came in, it was received with loud cheeriag, and all the Eastern patriots jumped on the seats to haye a good look at the frontior heroes, They received a gentle Lint froma member of the Committee of Arrangements to keep off the seats. The Convention had a good, solid, respectable look, and included a good many straight whigs of the Grinnell school, a yery large num! ft demoerats, like Pres. ton K'ng, anda crowd of fickle politicians, who have been flying about from one party to the other for the past ten years, and, like Noaa’s dove, have never yet found dry land. ‘The Musical Fund Hall, which will seat about two thousand people, was crowded to excess. At a little past eleven Mr. E. D. Moncax, of New York, Chairman of the Republ pal Committee, called the Convention to order. er of vast In doing so I may be indulged a miled for patriotic purposes. High expectations of y ¢ entertained by the people.

I propose to you for temporary chairman a distinguished citizen of the State of New York—of a name standing high in his country’s his- tory, and identified with liberty and with freedom—t pro- pose to you the name of Robert Emmet as your clair- man. This nomination was ratified with cheers, and Mr. M. H. Grinnell, of New York, and Mr. Hoadley, of Ohio, con- ducted Mr. Emmet to tho chair. Long and loud applause greeted him as he ascended the platform. Mr. Emmet was received with ioud applause. He said: Gxatéemen, DeLeGatea To THE ConveNtion—I feel deeply the honor you bave conferred upon me, and [ return my sincere thanks for it. It could not have been ten- dered to me for any merit of mine, for I have no- thing beyond the zeal I fecl for the cause which has brought us esthe, and in that I yield te none of you, (Applause antecedents haye all been democratic. For ears that party has been my. guiding star. Fellow citizens, when we meet, as wo do here, to form a new party in this republic after an ex- istenco of eighty years, it 1s a singular event in the his- tory of the country, and a movement that cannot be justified without the strangest and most irresistible ‘causes The question, therefore, before us now is, whether these causes now exist to justity us in the form: ation of this party. In the earlier days of this republic, things were more fayorable for such a movement than are now. It was then seen by the fathers of the republic that somo provision was necessary to prevent the extension of slavery. Without a single exception, the great mon of the republic perceived that its extension was opposed to the true policy of tho country, and this caused hi dioption of the Missouri compromise, That compro mise was upheld, honored, and defended —_ for many years, but finally ‘broken down. — The resuit 3 been the “war in Kansas, the incursions into that Territory, being the logical result of the violation of the compromise, gnd all the troubles in that Territory may be traced directly (o the repeal of the act of 1820. We are now met for the purpose of resisting, and if possible, overthrowing the administration whic hhas countenanced and assisted in this act. (Applause.) ‘The great democratic party has @lready met and placed its candidates in the field. Thave always honored that party, and was proud that I was a member of it. But itis ‘no longer the true democracy of the country. The demo- crats have met and adopted a platform, and a worse counterfeit of a true democratie platform I never read. (Langhter and applause.) If repeats the ol cant about squatter sovereignty. at is squatter sovercignty ? Ts it tho expression of the popular will? Ifo, it myst b a political syllogism in this republic. Popular will must be exercised by the peoplo in an organized State. Popu- lar will to be oxercised in A Territory iv a delusion and a trick, It was shown in the incursions of Missourians with their bowie knives and revolvers into Kansas; with their bloody code, worse than that of Draco. ' But the democracy have put. themselves upon this platform and nominated James Buchanan. [have known Mr. Buchanan for forty years, Somo of the most plensing reminiscences of my life are connected with my acquaintance with him. His personal character Imust defend if assailed; but his political character I must declare hostility against. I don’t complain of Mr. Buchanan because he is a politician by profession—1 don’t say by trade. (lavshter and applause.)

But I think there are movements now going turward there whieh will seon do the work. We shail bave cheering news from Kansas yet. (Loud applause.) Let us proceed to nominate a candidate, and each be prepared to give way a little. Re- member that each man cannot have his tayorite—no eacty clique its faverite. We all agree upon principles. There is no quarrel about that, and if we can only agree upon & man with whom we can defeat the democracy und elees our candidate, it would require more words than I cam command to tell you the extent of the blessing it will b¢ to this people.

He moved as a compli- men, whv in 1848 had polled a vow be invited to take seats, as honorary members of this convention. A DiixGars opposed the motion, on the ground that if they followed out that principle they would need a.room ten times larger than this, AnotuxeR LELKGATR suggested that the member who made the motion should amend it, so as to allow all who came from a distance to come iuto the Convention—to have no voice in the action of the Conyention—but to have the privilege of hurrahing at loast.

The time, the place and the occasion—the anui- versary of Bunker Hill, and the vicinity of Independence Hall—all conspired to’ make the honor memorable. It was a struggle for free labor, free thought, free speech and freemen, and he hoped it would mect'a hearty res- ponse. (Applause.) This day inaugurated a new era in modern Ainerican politics. It inaugurated the sovereignty of the people—the rule of man—the resurrection of the North. (Tremendous applause.) There was to his mind a great signification in ‘these mighty upheaves of the masses, A sense of comimon danger had brought together men hitherto divided pol!- tically, because they owed no responsibility equal to that which they owed to freedom. He had once followed the lead of of the glorious Clay, of Kentucky; but since the Nebraska bill had passed’ his allegiance to old party ties slept in the grave of the patriot Clay. (Cheers.) Kentucky had no voice in that policy— A Vouce.—She will be heard yet. Mr. Lane.—Yes, sho will bo heard, and we look for the day when the sun ehall shine oh no Slave, North or South, (Applause.) They looked for the speedy admission of Kan- 8AS as a free State, Gores) There was nothing revolutionary in thing, ere WAS Authority for it, and necensity for tt. (Clsers.) Two short years ago peace relgned’ throughout the ‘land. The Comproiliise mea- sures were quietly submitted to them by the cold and cruel calculation of heartless and brainless demagogues. The ambition of Stephen A. Douglas opened up afresh the agitation. (Cheers.) It was brought on by no action of theirs, but he trusted in God they would nee! # as Men. (Applause.) Scenes had been enacted in Kahsas which had no parallel since the days when the Goths and Vandals overran Italy. But these things were tolerated by the Weak anid Wicked administration in Wash. ington, Whether thet administration was more fol or knave let the Mtisé of History determine. He referred, then tothe doings in Kansas, (Applause.) They were made felons by the. Dracontan laws there, They re- collected the history of Barber, who, for daring to proclaim the equality of all meu, was struck down in cold blood, and whose widow Bow roams a raving maniac round the ruins of her prairie home.

He knew James Bu: chnan well, and had not a word to say against him except that he bore the ederal banner to the last. He opposed. the administration of Madison, and opposed the war ot 1812, When Mr. Clay stood forth the champion of that war, and raised the war cry of ‘Free trade and suilor’s rights,” where was their potent democrat then ? ‘The light that shone about him was the light reflected from the old warrior of New Orleans; and he became. a democrat, or anti-Madison democrat—an anti-war demio- erat. From such democrats, good Lord! deliver us! But men say that if Mr. Clay were now living ho would fupport such a measure as the Nebraska bill, Such a slander was more a slander against Mr. Clay than all those perpetrated against him while he was living. If he Were now alive he would be with them, (Applause) Mr. Clay's was the first arm and yoice to welcome the republic of Greece to the family of free nations. (Ap- plause.)

Their views were national, not sectional, for they would carry treedom—which is na- tional—into all quartars of the country. (Applause.) But it the people of the South loved their chains, let them | bug them in their own darkness. They were called upon to decide ane of the highest questions that ever occupied the American people; and in their de- . cision the very existence of the, country was weripped up. The great heart of the nation was throbbing, in. regard to the deliberations of the Convention, A nation’s welfare, a nation’s happiness, a nation’s existence, depended on the honor and wixdom of the Convention. No one deprecated more than himself tho organization of a party based upon mere sectional iesucs. This purty did not interfere with the institutions of the Southern States. But the South came forward and demanded that the Territories of the country should bo desecrated by slavery. Had not the North an interest there? Why, it was their Territory, and, with God’s Diessing, they wiH keep it free. (Cheers.) If they looked back im the history of the country for ten years thoy would find that there was not a prominent. man in one of the Southern States who did not advocato the same princi- ples as are advocated by the PA oder party. (Ap- plause.) But times are changed men are changed, and the democratic party had. become the mere henpecked of the institution of slavery, This democratic party is now contending for the ultra positions advanced by Mr. Cal- houn, ‘They were then repudiated even by the South. But the progress of slavery has been advanced in every controversy between the North and the South. Whetevor the question of slavery «ws involved, the South was tri- umpbant.

He be- Nioved that when the republican party. were found fairly in the field many now with the democratic party would ro- pudiate and abandon it. It had become so corrupt that itwas no longer democratic save in name. (Cheers.) Mr. Sart went on to refer to the condition of ‘things in bleeding Kansas. While these scenes had been onacted the genoral government of the nation was found giving all its aid and influence to crush out the last spark of the Apirit of liberty. How long would the North endure this? He believed the star of freedom which was now lightly blazing, would lead them on till they would achieve « glorious victory.

It was said, © Let us make man, and in the image of God created he him.” God made man in his own image. There is the basis of man’s right. Wherever that inmost gem is, it is of price- less value, for God is there (applause.) ' It nvight be covered up and almost lost in rubbish, but still there Would shine out something there like a star, for all eter- nity. It was the principle of immortality ; in other Words, it was abolitionism. (Applause.) It might be suid that the doctrine would carry them into the States. It Would in a moral sense. It would carry them to Brazil aud to Russia. It would carry them there morally, bat hot politically ; just as the jine of Burns-- A man’s @ man for a’ that.’” (Appiause.) He would say to the South as it was said to Shylock, “We'll stand to the bond.” You may bave your pound of flesh, but, Br. Jew, you must not draw ome drop of blood. He was fur moethg the South there deflantly, aud looking the slave despotism in the face, and saying they abided by the con. tract—they should have the pound of tlesh, but not ene single half drop of blood.

This Convention was a source of gratilication to all lovers:of the country. It was a Conyention coming here to place before the people a ticket round which he hoped they would all rally. ‘Their object was to’ over. throw the slave power of the cauutry, now represeated in the democratic party. Mr. Buchanan represented this day the administration of Franklin Pierce, for he had ceasci to be James Buchanan, and set himself square upon the platform dictated by the slave power. (Applause.) In squaring himself upon that platform, James Buctianan ceaved to be a freeman of Pennsylvania. (Applause.) They had to overthrow this party. “The republican party could not de it alone; neither could the old whi the American party, nor the old, pure democracy they could all unite, and, uniting, defeat the democratic part bi A Vorcr—We'll do it. Mr. Witson called upon the members of the republican party to come here and adopt a liberal policy, and Jay the foundation of this’ great army of freedom. He called upon the whigs to follow the advice of their great leader, Daniel Webster. pplause.) He called upon the inde- pendent democracy to come and unite, and let them ail together make a tiue democracy of America. (Cheers.) He asked Americans to come and unite with them, to save the frst principles of American liberty—tree free press, free soil, free Kansas, (Great ap- plause.) He called upon the members of all parties, in the words of Whittier, to ‘Forget, forgive and unite.” Let them, he guid, consult with each other, and select a candidate on whom they could all unite. He, for his part, would sacrifice any man or any friend on earth to rescuy American liberty from the danger in which it stood. Whea their brothers were being sacrificed in Kansas it became them at least to sacrifice their persousl feelings. Frank- lin Pierce, he said, had gone to the Convention at Cincin- nati with the light of the burning dwellings of Kansas flashing upon his brazen brow, aud with the blood of the murdered citizens of Kansas dripping from his polluted hands. (Cheers.) That Convention had spurned at the thing it had used, and to-day it had gone down beneath the withering contempt of the people. — Stephen A. Dougiass went into that Convention with high hopes, and came out of it with hopes blighted forever. The slave powor knew that Douglas had forever Dlighted himself, and that he could be of no more use to them, and so they cast him off. But the slave power wanted a tool, and cast its eyes to Pennsylvania, and se- lected James Buchanan, The expression attributed to James Buchanan, that if he thought he had a drop of democratic blood in his veins he would let it out, was hly appropriate in a candidate of a party which ry democratic principle.

Appian) ‘The argument was all theirs—the sentiment of the people was theirs—everything which could assure victory was theirs. He reminded them of the state of affairs in Kan- sas, and of the fact that a Senator from another State had been stricken dgwn in the American Senate. (Great ex- citement, and tftce groans for Brooks.) } Mr. Witzow continued, They were not only fighting to eave Kansas, but fighting to vindicate freedoth in Coh- ress. He had’ seen, by telegraphic dispatches from Vashington, that when the subject of the assault on My. Sumner eame up before Congress, the South wauld rhal threats, and perbaps execute them. But he believed that the men who represented'the North bad made up thar, He believed that ‘they had ih abot a mi Fa erhar A speak their sentiments sith absolute entire freedom. “(Applause.) He belleved thatgire made up’ their minds to go where duty require! them to Ko, to vote as duty required them to vote, and to defend their persons and their lives, wherever, whenever, how- ever and by whomsocver assailed. (Loud and long con tinued cheers.) Threats could not frighten the represens tatives of the North. They knew they had behind them fit- teen millions of freemen. ‘They knew that if they fell in the performance of their duties, other and abler men would be sent to fill their places.’ Tet them not, therefore, be alarmed about affairs in Washington; they would tako care of themselves there. He wished’ it Known all over the land that tho representatives of the North were ready to take care of themselyes—(cheors)—and while they in Washington had made that resolution and would stic it, he asked the men of the North to do their duty. (Cries of “We will.”’) Millions were looking with intorest to this Convention. He hoped they would not diS&ppoint: them. Whatever candidate should be nominated, he trusted they would rally around him. If bold Joha C. Fremont—(great applause)—should be their candidate, the young and gallant spirits of the country would rally arotind him. If McLean, the learned—(thtee cheers far Mclan and three more for Fremont)—wero their candi- date, they would do likewise. They were divided now in cheers for Fremont and for McLean, but if either of them were nominated he hoped they would not be divided. (Cries of “No,” “No."") If they nominated the Speaker of the House of Representatives—(cheors)—tho men of the North would, he hoped, rally around him; or if they nominated Salmon P. Chase let thom rally around him and place him in the presidential chair; or if they should bestow their preferences on the foremost statesman of America, Wm. H. Seward—(three cheers for Seward) — he was a man fit to lead the inovement. He belicved ‘all these men to be fit and reliable, (Loud applaiee.) But, whoever should bo nominated, he invoked them afl to unit for a cause ever the cause of liberty and patriot- ism. In conclusion, he said that the freemen of tiie North the right to govern the country, and they had met to-day to inaugurate a movement which would pince the government in the hands of those who would prove the Party of liberty and of patriotism.

The liabilities on board the vn to America are stated at about three quarters of a million sterling, and to meet this enormous sum the assets available aro exceedingly small, The Ore. dit Mobilier will, it is stated, be involved in the lose toa small amount only, The failure has been caused not from any sudden change in the value of securities, but from speculations of long standing. Recent fluctuations as the Bourse having merely brought matiers to a crisis. ‘The London Times say: A statement published by the assignees of the insolyvens estate of Messrs.
