Putapenvina, June 19, 1856. ‘The Conventign met at ten o'clock, There was not quite so much excitement as on tho preceding day, and the benches were rather thin until some time after the hour of meeting. The attendance of outsiders was as great as ever. Tho most important business was the settlement of the difficulty with George Law’s North American Convention, whose communication had first been tabled, and then taken up and referred to the Cominittce on Resolutions. This committee had a long and anxious session, and con- ferred with George Law's committee, headed by George himself. It was whispered about the Convention that no conclusion had been arrived at, and that the indignant North Americans diad bolted to New York in the first train, leaving two or three persons to watch this Conyen- tion, and send its proceedings to tho North American pat= riots over the wires, The trouble in this Convention was between the East and ¢he West. The Eastern men were afraid, if they staved off the North Americans, thoy would lose allfthe New England States, where the Know Nothing voters are nearly all opposed to Fillmore, The Western men said that the Germans were all ready to yote this ticket; but if they knew that the Know Nothings were especially petted, they would hang back and give their ‘Votes to Buchanan, Thus the Convention found itself be- tween Scylla and Charybdis with no immediate chance to escape destruction. At half past 10 o'clock the Cuar, (Mr. Lane, of Indiana) ealled out—The Convention will come to order. Prayer offered, by the Rey. Mr. Beebe. The Feverend gentleman's prayer was rather long, but very The North American business was passed over. fe Ciain—The first businoss in order is the reading of the following resolution -— Resolved, That a National Convention of favor of free soil, free Inbor, free men and plause)—for the Presidency, be held in the fork in the month of September next, ‘the National Committee. tution was adopted. Ley, of New Jersey, moved that the Conven- tlon do now proceed to an informal ballot, for a candidate for the Vice Presidency, and ho desired “to nominate for that office William L.’ Dayton, of Jersey, (whig.) Mr. Whelpley then read from the Hekato a speech rece ay delivered by Mr. Dayton, to the Republican State Con- Yention of New Jersey, and asked if the Convention were Satisfied that his votes were sound? (Cries of “Yes,’) Mr. J. A. Fisuen, of Pounsylvania—t rise for the pur- of presenting a name which is a tower of strength in Imean the name of David Wilmot. (Av- With that name upon our ticket, I consider nsylvania sate for us. Mr. Auswoy, of Pa., Idesire to present—-(cries of “Take the platform,’*)—tofpresent a communication which Iwill send wo the Chair. The Skcrxrary then read the following:— Ata meeting of the Pennsylvanta State Republican Conven- ‘tion, held inthe Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, Juae 18 1856, the following resolutions were passe: Resolved, That the principles declared in the resolution constituting the platform of the National Republican party, a adopted by its National Convention this day, meet the cordia approval and will receive the hearty advocacy of the member this State Convention.

Mr. Auisox—I nominate for a candidate for the Vice Presidency Abram Lincoln—(Applause, and cries of “Who is het’’)—an.old line whiz, and the prince of good fellows. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. ARcixn, of Illinois, took the platform, for the pur- e of seconding the nomination of Mr. Lincoln. I have wn him, he said,.for thirty years. Ho is a native of Kentucky, un old. line. Henry Clay whig, in the prime of Iife, fifty-five years-old, and in good health. (Langhter and applause.) There is no purer patriot under the canopy of heayen than Abram Lincoln, Gentlemen, [ was raised alongside of John McLean. I came here to v for him, and 1 was one of the nineteen that voted for him. But I am a Fremont man, now and for ever. (Cheen:.) 1 will fight for him’ from now till Nevember, and we'll elect him. (Renow- edchecring.) There is no danger of the Northern part of our State. but the southern part is occupied by Ken- tuckians and.Tennesseans. Jf you give us Lincoln, there is no danger of ‘the southorm part of the State. The State is safo-with Abram-Lincoln, aud safe without him. (Ap plause and laughter.) Yes, I say safe without him. (Re- newed laughter and long continued applause.) I hope he may be recognized by this assemblage. Ho is a plain man —a:working man. Mr. Spatpixe,.of @hio—I desire to ask a question, Can be fight? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Axcixr (with great docision)—~He can do that. Cheers and laughter.) Ho came from Kentucky, and ey always figlusthere.

Mr. Ae have no personal interest in the matter, ‘but I hope you will give Mr. Dayton the nomination. Mr. Jay, of New Jersey—As I said before, Lam an old Aine democrat; I haye always voted the democratic ticket, and should have-yoted for Frank Pierce, but, thank God, Adid not ‘have a yote. (Laughter and’ applause.) Mr. Jay then yroceeded to second Mr. Dayton’s nomination, saying hewwas sound against the Fugitive Slave law. ir. Parmer, of Illinois, said ho was also an old lino democrat, liko his friend from New Jersey. He be- lieved in the policy and wisdom en the part of ths Convention of putting in nomination Abram Lincoln, of the Sixth Congressional district of his State. As 40 his fighting qual there is no doubt about them; but if we elect Fremont, we shall probably hear no more on that subject. If it had been good policy, Mr. Palmer svould havo been glad to voto for Mr. Wilmot. (Applause.) But one democrat on the ticket was suiticiont; Sie Lincoinevas nominated It would give 10,000 addi- tional votes to the ticket. We can whip them, but we want to do iteasy.

Th Prairie State will give you twenty thousand major! (Great cheering.) Three cheers for the German press wore called for. (Cries of “No,” “no,” “hush’—and the cheers were choked off.) Joux A.

They have fought for liberty, sword in hand, in Germany, and were willing to fight for it here.

ZACHARY CHANDLER, Of Michigan, announced that a tele- graphic despatch had been’ received from. Detroit, saying that the Fremont thunders were echoing over the St. Clair dats. The sailors of Detroit are tiring one hundred guns in bonor of the nominations of this Convention. The chaunels and harbors would now. be cleared, and tho cauge of freedom spread through the Northwest. (Cheers.), He alluded to Gen, Cass and his Nicholson let He would touch lightly upon.that gen- tleman, but Gen, Cass “sold his birthright for a.mess of pottage,”? and bas bad his reward, like Esau, Colonel. Fremont is no Ksau. Kranklin Pierce had betrayed his country for thirty pieees of silver, and had received tho rice of his treachery. He hoped that Pierce would be as honest as Judas, and go out and put himself out of the way. He closed by saying that Michigan would do her duty in this great contest, and nexs November we shall hear re- sponding to this nomination, not with one hundred guns, Dut with a majority of ten thousand for Fremont, Dayton and freedom. Mr. Writs, of California, said the duty bad devolved upon him—the youngest member of the California delega- tion—to respond to the nomination of Jobn C. Fremont, who has been chosen as your standard bearer during this revolutionary struggle—tor we live in revolutionary times: arries me back to those other Revolutional times, n the eye of patriotism was cast over the country for a leader, The North and the South had its great men, but the man chosen was a young Virginian Colonel, who got his education in the mountains, sur ing their fastnes: to 4, (applause) and leading his soldiers on ictory.

With the name of Fremont and the Pacific Railroad plank in the platform, (applause,) if any human being can carry that State, Fremont can carry it, and we will do it. (Loud cheers.) ‘The Cuai introduced Mr. Van Dyke, of New Jorsey, who, he said, would respond to the nomination of Mir. Tayto Sir. Vaw Dvxm suid thero wero two reasons why he should speck. You will bear in mind, he said, that New Jersey gave the majority of her yotes to Judge McLean; and “Y heard it’ was said that if he was not nominated New Jersey would bolt, I should like to know the author of the slander, It is true that New Jer- sey gave her preference to Judge MeLean, She loves MéLean. She loyes him for his pure morality—for his high integrity—his intelligence—his great capacity for ad- ministering tho affairs of this great nation in this great c New Jersey loved Judge MeLean because he was one of her own sons—born of her own body—cradled upon her own bosom. But she was ready to sacrilice him for the cnuse. The sacrifice was thought to be ne- cessary, and the victim was ready. When it was first annout in the New Jersey dolegation that the Mclean was withdrawn, they asked should dor The yenerable man (Chief Jus r,.) to whom we are indebted recently published—that man am a young American; I go for this young man, star hag risen in the West.” (Loud applause.) We go for Fremont with perfect alacrity—the man’ who traced the buffalo’s stops on the plains—vwho grappled with the grizzly bear in his den—who planted the Amo- rican flag in California, and then, having done all these things, with the capacity of a Cesar, could sit down and give Us a good account of them’ (cheers)—the min whose fame ie already too large for this continent, and whose name has been greeted with the highest scientific honors beyond the AUantic wave.
