He said that the question being as to the reception of the report of the committee, there was but little to be said, and he would advise, most respectfully, that they should, first of all, keep cool. ( ‘No Convention had ever sutfered by being Ge in its character. He tof the Convention, disappointed at the the committee; but let them consider di-pasionatels.

He gave them credit fur candor and sincerity. They had appre. Ciated the virtues and strength of tho party, and desired to co-operate with them. They had tolt, like Benjamin, that they had better hang together than hang separately: Laughter.) One of the reasons why he wanted to have the Convention sit was that he foresaw that there was a great strife between the skivo drivers of the South and the republicans of the North, to appropriate each to themselves the energies of this great American party. He Saw that, on the 22d of ry inst, in Philadelphia, the cause of freedom suffered, and slavery received an unde- served triumph.

The only nigger rty of this country was south of Mason and Dixon's line and bad the Philadelphia Convention of 224 F nominated his fathor, under the circumstances, he would have been compelled to strive for his defeat. The Ameri- ean party had striven to do right. They had lost none of their self respect. He felt just as well as he ever did in his life, and not much better. (Langhter.) There was another reason why they were here. The proud remnant of the democratic party had sworn in Cincinnati to the black powers of the extreme South. And he re- Bretted to say that by the action of the republican party at Philadelphia, James Buchanan is made President of the Tnited States. '(Hisses.) Don't hiss, because f tell you @he truth. Let geese and snakes do that. He could never Delieve that the Americans of the extreme South over in- tended to support Mr. Fillmore, except in a contingency ‘They put him forward with a viow of driving the Cincin- nati Convention into a better bargain for the South. ‘There was no use in waiting to be knocked down before they betieved in physical propulsion.

He believed they could unite, gs their fathers in the Revolution did, and that from all sections of the Union, conservative, just, noble, slave hating elements could be combined’ which would prevent a portion of the Union from being bene- Mited by the violation of contracts. They could thus rally, and rally successfully, and carry the war beyond Africa. laughter.) He was opposed” to the repeal of the Mis- e@ouri compromise. He was opposed to the extension of the slave power, and hoped that the South was not truly represented by those who violated national contracts and: disturbed Conventions. He was in favor of receiving that report, and then he was in favor of adjourning this Convention for thirty days. He was then in favor of Foner the bugle of American freedom and of calling the hosts of freedom together on the plains of Trenton or of , and of nominating a candidate for the Presidency. ‘The objection at Philadelphia to recognize the committee of this Convention was that it would offend the German ‘yoters of the West. Had the telegraph told the truth? If 80, then indeed these good natured German friends had taken America in right earnest. While that fact stood before him, bowever much he (Mr. Schaffer) might de- sire to co-operate with them, he could not doo; nor could this Convention. He should vote at the next elec- tion for an American—for an American of the true grit— for a downright American—for one who is not a narrow minded one—who would have the sagacity which charac- terized Washington. (Cheers) After they had received this report, he thought they bad better adjourn till to- morrow. 'He wanted a night's sleep. He could sleep if the arth was quaking.

He wished to say for the delegates to that Convention from his State, that they had selected their committee tm: 4 mab who they supposed would be the most acceptable to the teo—a man belonging to the American party. He also understood that every delegate of Massachusetts was in favor of treating the committee with respect and courtesy, and did so. Mr. Carxixa, of Pennsylvania, took the floor.

Wunatiann, near Lancaster, June 16, 1856. Geytiemey—I have the honor t6 acknowledge the re- ceipt of your communication of He 13th instaut, inform- 1g Ine Ollicially of my nomination by the Democratic uonal Convention, recently held at Cincinnati, as the ic candidate for the office of President of the ites, I shall notgattempt to express the grate- ful tcelings which I entertain towards my democratic fel- Jow citizens for having deemed ue worthy of this—the highest political honor on earth—an honor such as the people of no other country have the power to bestow. Deeply sensible of the vast and varied responsibility at- tached to the station, espec the present crisis in our affairs, I have carefully 1 d from secking the nomination cither by word or by deed. Now that it has y the democratic party, I accept it with diftidence in my own abilities, but with an humble trust that in the event of my election J may be enabled to dis- emy duty in such a manner as to allay domestic " preserve peace and friendship with foreign nations, and picmote the best interests of the republic. Jn wecepting the nomination, I need scarcely say that T “pt in the xame spirit the resolutions constituting the pintiorm apies erected by the Convention. To this pation T intend to confine myself throughout tee can- vase, believing that I have no right, as the candidate of the democratic party, by answeriig interrogatories, to present new and different issues before the people. It will not be expected that in this answer I should spe- 7 bject of each of the resolutions; and miine myself to the two topics Low most prominently before the people. Audi, in the first plae, F cordially concur in tho senti- ments ¢ sed by and re liberty. political intolerance towards one class of American citi- zeus, Whether born in our own or in a forcign land, can fovg continue to exist iv this country. We are all equal hefore God and the constitution; and the dark spirit of Gespoti-m and bigotry which would create odious distine- tious aniong our fellow citizens will be speedily rebuked by a free and enlightened public opinion, ‘The agitation on the question of domostic slavery bas too long distracted and divided the people of this Union and alienated their affections from each other. This agi- tation has assumed many forme since its commencement, but it now seem to be directed chiefly to the Territorics; and judging from ite present character, I think we may safely anticipate that it is rapidly approaching a ‘“tinality.”” The recent legislation of Congress respecting domestic avery, derived, ae it has been from the original and pure fountain of legitimate political power, the will of the majo- rity, promises ere Jong to allay the dangerous excitement. ‘Thiviegisiation is founded upon principles as ancient as free government itself, and in accordance with them, has simply declared that the people of a Territory, like those of » State, shall decide for themselves whether slavery shall or shal! not exist within their limite. The Nebraska Kansas act Goes no more than give the force of law to this elementary principle of gelf-govern- ment, declaring it to be ‘the true intent and meaning of thix uct not to legislate slavery into any Territory or te, hor to exelude it therefrom; but to leave the peo- ple thercof pertectly free to form and regulate their do- mestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.” This principle will surely not be controyerted by any individual of any party professing devotion to popular government. Be- sides, how vain and illusory would any ether principle prove in practice in regard to the Territories. This is ap- parent from the fuct admitted by all, that afer a Terri- tory shall have entered the Union and become a State, no constitutional power would then exist which could pre- vent it from either abolishing or establishing slavery, ag the case may be, according to its sovereign will and pleasure Most happy would it be for the country if this long agi- tation Were a an end. During its whole progress it has produced no practical good to any human being, whilst it has been the source of great and dangerous evils. It has alienated and estranged one portion of the Union from the other,and has even seriously threatened its very existence To my own personal knowledge, it has produced the im- pression among foreign nations that our great and glori- ous confederacy is in constant danger of dissolution, ‘Thi does ug ecrious injury, because acknowledged power and stability always com! Tespect among nations, aud are among the best securities against unjust aggres- fon and in fayor of the maintenance of honorable peace. May we not bope that it is the mission of the demo- cratic party, now the only surviving conservative party of the country, ere long to overthrow ail sectional parties, and restore the peace, friendship and mutual confidence which prevailed in the good old time, ambng tke different members of the confederacy? Its cMfhracter is strietly na- tional, and it therefore asserts no principle for the guidance of the federal government which is not adopted and sustained by its members in each and every State, For this reason it is everywhere the same determined foe of all geographical parties, #0 much and so justly dreaded by tho Father of his Country. From its very nature it must continue to exist so long as there if a constitution and a Union to preserve. A conviction of these truths hag induced many of the purest, the ablest and most inde- pendent of our former opponents, who haye differed from ue in times gone by upon old and extinet party issues, to ne into our renk# aud devote themselves with us to the canse of the constitntion and the Union. Under these circumstances I most cheerfully pledge myself, should the vomination of the Couvention be ratified by the peo- ple, that all the power and influence constitntionally pos- nes by the Executive shall be exerted in @ firm but coneilistory spirit, during the single term I shall remain in office, to restore the same harmony among the sister States which prevailed before this apple of dicord, in the form of slavery agitation, had been cast inte their midst. Let the members of the fami- ly abstain from intermeddling with the exclusive domes tie concerns of each other, and cordially unite, on the ba- sis of perfect equality among themselves, in’ promoting the great national objects of common Snterest to all, and the good work will be instantly accomplished, In regard to our foreign policy, to which yon haye re- ferred in your commmnisation, it is quite impossible for any human foreknowledge to prescribe positive rules in to regulate the conduet of a future administra. tion in all the exigencies which may arise in our various and ever changing relations with foreign powers. The federal government must of necessity exercise @ sound discretion in dealing with international questions as they may oceur, but this under the strict reeponsibility which the Executive must always feel to the people of the Uni- ted States and the judgment of posterity. You will, therfore, excuse mé for not entering into particulars; Whilst I heartily concur with you in the general senti t, that our foreign affairs ought to be conducted with m and firmness as to assure the prosperity of eat home, whilst the interests and honor of our are wisely bat inflexibly maintained abroad, n policy Ought ever to be based upon the prin ciple of doing justice to all nations, and requiring justice fr m them in return; and from this principle I shall never lepart. Should I be placed in the Executive chair, I shall use y best exertions to cultivate peace and friendship with all nations, believing this to be our highest poltey as well As OUF most imperative duty; but at the same the I shall never forget that in cage the meceesity should arise, which I do not now apprehend, our pational rights gud NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1856. national honor aust be preserved at All hazards and at any weeritice.

A Frenchman, named Girard, was recently killed, under | circumstances that produced great excitement. A mecting of Frenchmen and other foreigners was held upon the subject, When a speaker stated that # vietim suffered, not | in ¢ ence of Al question, bat becanse he was a foreigner. ed that the police ha not arrested the murderer—that the lives of 1}; were placed in perif, and that some measures were neces- sary to secure the citizens of foreign birth adequate pro- | tection, It was decided to address & petition to. the vernment at Washington, asking for protection and ai foreign residents of New Orleans; and afother hodying the facts of ‘the ease, to the French government. ‘The Bulletin, alluding to the moyement, says:— We be- lieve that never before a meeting held in this or ary | other city in the Union for a -imilar purpose.?” The Dette of the 2 instant gives the following report of the nm ocung — suy Yor GIRARD.—A meeting of the friends of Girard, man, of this ely, who Was recently killed in ihe £7, Pours, at the corner of Orleans and Marais Streets, was hel on =alurdoy evening last, at the Democratic Tail, opposite ue St, Louis ilotel. ‘The mecting was eompos- edt of the natives of France residing in this city, and the object of it was to draw (he attention of the French, government to the fact (hat Girard had been murdered, and that the perpe- trators of the act are still at large in New Orleans. Dr. Escoubas was called to the chair, and A. Gerard ap- pionied Secretary. A member of ihe meeting then referred to the killing of a Frenchman named Girard, some days since, at a coffee house, and stated that he was killed not in consequence of any po- iitical question, as it was before the election, but because he Warn foreigner! ‘The speaker said the ‘police had not arrested ihe murderer; that police |x either bad Or inefficient, that the lives of foreigners are placed in peril, | and that some meastres are necessary to secure to foreigners that protection which they now want. The, remarks of the | speaker were received with acclamation. The meeting de- clared its members are willing to leave to Americans the ma- nagement of thelr own aifuirs, and only asked for themselves security and protection. The following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the French Consul in this city be instructed to take all the necessary means, by applying to the proper authorities, for the discovery of Girard’s murderers. Resolved, That a copy of the above resolutions be sent to the French Minister at Washington, with a copy of the answer of he French Consul. Resolved, That snother copy be sent to the Minister of Fo- reign Affairs in Paris, with a detailed account of the facts which gave rise to the application made to the French Consul. Resolved, That a third copy of the same be sent to all the Parisian papers, with the detailed account ns above, for the purpose of urging that government to act, by submitting the matier to the force of public opinion, Another meeting was to take place on the evening of the 12th, to adopt the resolutions prepared by a commit- tee nominated on the 7th.

This is not a reason why,jhey should denounce the country to all Eurepe, and repitiiest it as being delivered up tos band of assassins, who deluge it with blood. No, no arguments would be strong enough to induce us to sign 4 document which would dishonor # State of the American Union, in which, as in others where we have lived, we have met with un- bounded hospitality. Let diplomacy seize upon this sub- Ject; it is its provinee. Diplomacy is secret, and disclos- «6 only what shonld be made known; but to communi- cate it to the Furopean press, to give the latter an op- portunity of making false or venturous commentaries upon it, is a proceeding that must not be suffered by hon- orable people, and we therefore energetically’ repu- ate it. Besides, how many non-naturalized Frenchmen have been assassinated since those men first came amongst us, who wish to stir up diplomacy and the indignation of the world on the occasion of the assassination of Gérard? Only one; we own that this is one too much; but the police tmimediately arrested two suspected accomplices, who have been thrown into prison. It is true that the chief culprit is still free. If the police have not been able to arrest him, the reason is that the police no longer exists, Will you’ send expressly to Europe for a police in order to lay hands upon Padron? Has the murderer of the creole Rodriguez been arrested? Or those of Tacinte, Giergerdai and Brieno, who are not Frenchmen’ No. Everybody suffers, and everybody is exposedto the same ngers, ‘Ihey are so great andwo uni versal, that Mayor Lewis, in his depositon beforo Recorder Bright, advised the citizens to bear arms, in spite of the law; for, as he stated, the eno longer exists, and the lives of the inhabitants ure at the discretion of any one who chooses to take them. New, do the Frenchmen’ who assisted at the meeting to which we refer desire to be presented with a special police, when the whole city is obliged to do without it? To complain is all right. But it belongs to the consul to act, and to the ambassador to address a report to the government of France. The French government, which did not demand and atonement for the shocking treatment by the authoritiesjof Paraguay, of three hundred and fifty uchmen, allured to that country by seductive promises, and left, without food or shelter, ina savage wilderness. will not declare war for_an isolated case of murder, to which the authority of Louisiana is entirely a stranger. ‘The Count Walewski will make a reply of a few lines to Mr. de Sartiges; Mr. de Sartiges will, perhaps, make a visit to the President, who will write a couple of lines to the Governor of Louisiana; Mr. Wickliffe will address a few words to Mr. Waterman, and the latter will reply that he has given orders to arrest the murderer, but that it was found impossible to execute them. And all will have been said. The French government onnot render the authorities of Louisiana responsible for the imperfections and adci- dents of public morals, it is suMicient that it intends to have the murderer ar- reeted, and that that fact is proved; there the intention is substantiated by the arrest of the two accomplices. Wo must rest satisiied with this, and with the interference of the Consul. If it was carried further, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France would be compelled to take towards the United States the same determina- tion which he has recently adopted, toward Para- guay, and refuse passports to” the French who desire to emigrate to the United States. Who would lose most by this measure? Not the Know Nothings, who are ready to appiaud it, but our compa- tricts who want to enjoy the liberty of going where they Please without legal restraint, and who could no longer come bere, Moreover, the government will say:—Nobody forces you to reside in Lonisidna; leave the country, if you are hot satisfed with it. Our countrymen had at first resolved to use means which are far superior to diplomacy; and we are aston- ished that they did not persevere in them, A reward would have stimulated the police; and if Padron could not be arrested, he would at least have been forced to leave the country. Such ® proceeding would also have had the effect Of terrifying monsters who, like him, watch their opportunity to porpetrate murder. A still better plan would be to co-operate with the police in trying to discover and arrest the murderer. After all, a report of the affair haying been sent by the Consul to the Ambas- sador of France at Washington, its decision no longer rests in our bands. Police Intelligence. DISCHARGE, OF A PRISONER UNDER STRANGH CRCUMSTANCER: —His Ry. akneet asp Commitrat To THR Tomne,—Great ex- citement was occasioned among the officials at the Tombs on Monday last, when it was ascertained that Fred. Web- ber (arrested and confined in the month of February last, on charge of attempting to murder his mistress, Catherine Haltmeyer, by #tabbing her in the neck, breast and other parte of the body), had been discharged from custody by Justice Connolly, and was then free to put the finishing stroke to the work he had so well begun. The woman. whoge life was in such imminent danger for a number of weeks, as soon as she heard of the discharge of the priao- ner, came to the Lower Police Court and stated her case to Justice Osborne. The complainant's afdavit was taken, and a warrant was issued for the re-arreet of Webber. Cficer Sweeney, to whom was entrusted the task of catch- ing the accused, succeeded, after encountering many dif- ficulties, in arresting him on Wednesday night. Yester- y morning Webber was bronght before Justice Osborne, when bis examination was taken, and he was fully com: mitted for trial on charge of aseault with intent to kill. The discharge of Webber from custoty has given rise to many rumors and stories about corruption and bri- very. An uncle of the prisoner, named John H. Nord- hansen, says he paid $20 to one lawyer and $7 60 te an- other to haye bis nephew released, and he now ex- preeses grent diseatisfnction at his re-arrest. We under- stand from the most reliable sources that one of the law- yers referred to went to the District Attorney's office and sented that the complainant had loft the city and had gone no one knew where; that consequently the de- tention of the prisoner any longer would be both useless and unkind. Upon these representations the District At- torney consented that the prisoner should be discharged, and accordingly the parties went before Justice Eon nolly and had him liberated from durance vile, No sooner had the news of Webber's Kberation reached the care of the woman Haltmeyer, than she appeared before the District Attorney in person to testify to the fulsity of the representations made by the counsel of the prisoner. She expressed great indignation, as might naturally be suppored, at the conduct of the authorities in thus Jetting loose her would-be aseassin without proper reasons for dog so. The affair bas created a great deal of talk among officials. Covst or Aprpra.s, Jone 18&—9. Di nat. Treland.—Argued, Mr, W. Watson for appellant; Mr. D. Hawley for respondent, 18.

CONFLICT OF 3UKISDICTION BETWEEN THE COMMON PLEAS AND MARINE COURTS. JUNK 19.—The People, om the Relation of J. B. Debenetti, vs. Mosea D. Gale, Clerk of the Marine Court.—Roosevrit, J.—An order was made in this ease, directing a manda- mus to the Clerk of the Marine Court to compel him to issue an exerntion on « jndgmens rendered by one of tho Sudges of that court, The Clerk objects that the judg- ment, although regularly rendered by the Marine Court, had been regularly reversed by the Court of Common Pleas. The relator, on the other Band, contends that the reversal was a nullity; that the €wsumon Pleas in that stage of the proceedings, have no jrrisdiction; that an ay peal from a single Judge of the Marine Court could only be taken in the first instance to the three Judges of that court, and afterwards, if at to the Common Pleas. Hy the act of July 21, 1853, the jurisdietion of the Marine Court was greatly enlarged; aud, as a consequence, it was deemed proper, at the same time, ts provide addi- Taonicnees tan covarnenett lawia ‘oor! te > the em we the ner tional safeguards for the corremess of its judgments.

Judge Whiting referred to the code, and to the fact that under its action there was the most conflicting legal jurisdictions, No two courts in the city agreed on matters of law. What was dene by one Court in this uilding, was undone by a tribunal in the next room, and. there was nothing but a mass ef confusion of legal juris- prudence, which was net ealeulated to elevate the bench or advance the profession in the public mind, Jeras a twacher, The society first had services inthe ecture reom of the Blind Asylum, but in 1847 builta. frome cherel! in Thirty-second. street, near Kighth ave- nue, where Rey, Washington Roosevelt was pastor enti last year, when he resigned, and Mr. Hatfield assumed pastoral The ground on which the church stands Was donated to the society by Mr. Jas.

THE CHARGER OF KIDNAPPING—SENTENCE. Juxx 19.—Thomas Hadden, who was convicted in the of Sessions, iu December last, on a charge of _kid- selmprestiig a sailor cn board the ship West was brought beiore this Coury on ¢ertiorart before sentence Was bashed by the Cory jelow, The maiority of the present bench’ (Clerke and Roosevelt) gaye their decision this morning, that the verdict of the jury should be sustained, for, although they (the Judges) had some doubts in the matter, yet the jury are always judges of the facts. This Court should therefore, under an express isiou of the statute, proceed to pass sentence on the prisoner. The punishment is imprisonment in tho State prison for not more than ten years nor less than two, and under the view this Court took of the case they would sentence him to the lowest term allowed by law—two years, The prisoner made an appeal for his wife and family, and suid that if the Court allowed hit time he would prove by affidayit the falsity of the charge, and perjury in another quarter. ze Whiting dissented from the opinion of the ma- of the Court thought the verdict should be set aside and a new trial granted, as it was a case of very doubtful nature. After sume remarks from Mr. T. Byrne, counsel for the accused, and Mr. Sedwick, assistant District Attorney, the Court decided on admitting Hadden to vail pending > appeal to the Court of Appeals, which is now in ses- sion. ‘The Court adjourned to Thursday next.
