Miller, ‘Thomas Earl, This call is made by democrats’ who bolted from the ‘soft resolutions of the eighth of January, endorsing the administration in its policy of making Kansas a slaveState, and from the proceedings of the National Democratic + Convention at Cincinnati. The present Convention, then, ‘was composed of democrats, some of whom were original Cass men, avd who, previous to being merged with the republicans, desired to make good terms for themselves. Some of those who have been leading men among the de- mocrats in times past occupied seats on the benches. Such men as 1D. D. Field and John A. Kennedy, of New York; John 8. Floyd, of Suffolk; James 8. Wadsworth, of Genesee: H. Hurlburt, of Herkimer; F. P. Stevens, of Erie; T. B. Carrol, of Rensselaer; Timothy Jenkins, of Oneida; Nathaniel Jones, of Orange, and Wm. Lewis, laie ‘a member of the Soft State Convention, were among the umber, The Convention was made up of some of the Strongest men in the State. The Convention assembled tn Market Hall at noon, about 200 delegates present, when Mr. Piatt Porren, of Schenectady, read the call, an’ said :—Under this call, and by virtue of the authorit; delegated to me at an informal mocting of the committe: ‘this morning, 1 now call this Convention to order, and nominate as your temporary chairman Benjamia Welch, Jr., of Erie. ‘The nomination having been ratified by the Convention, Mr. Welch took the chair amid loud applause. He said — Geytiexen oF Tur Convawtioyv—I make my acknow- ledgments for the honor you have done me, and beg to know your further pleasure. Mr. Vay Dvex, of Albany, nominated E. W. Eaton, of Berkimer, as Secretary protem, and Mr. Gallagher named Joseph Carr, of Rensselaer. Both nominations were rati- fed by the Convention. Mr. Potrmx moved that the delegates from each county ‘band in their names to the Secretaries. Carried. Mr, Jauns C. Serr moved that a committee of two from each Judicial district be appointed to name perma- ‘Bont officers forthe Convention, Carried, and the chair appointed the committee as follows: — Ist district—Jobn A Kennedy and W. W. Northup. 2—Jobu G, Floyd and Robt. Deniston, 3—Lymaa Wilder and Henry P Pulver, lark B. Cochrane and D. M. Chapin. 5—Ward Hunt and eter Outwater. 6—W. M. Gregg and Gideon 0. Chase. 7—James C. Smith and Ira Godfrey. &—William G. Fargo and Wm. Barsto’ There was a little irregular debate on the precedency of motion, during which Mr. Porren said that every man present was a democrat, which sentiment was received with loud applause. Op motion of Mr. D. D. Fixup, the Chair appointed the following committee of two from each Judicial district to prepare an address and resolutions for the consideration oftthe Convention — 1st district—I). D. Field and Lucias Robinson. 2—Jobn G. Floyd and Robt. Denniston. S—H. H. Van Dyck and Henry Wynkoop. 4—Henry Churchill and Henry © Adams. 5—T motby Jenkins and Leroy Morgan. 6—Thor. Barlow and A. 8.

APTERNOON SESSION. ‘The Convention met at three o'clock. The attendance swas larger during the forenoon. Mr. Townsivp, of Rensselaer, suggested that the gen- tlemen lately arrived, who desired sents as delegates, Abould hand their names in to the secretaries. Wr. Cores, of Onondaga, said that be believed this cconvention was a singular assembly. It was an assem- ‘aly of delegates of rather an unusual character, It was Hrought together without ceremony. It was an out- Pouring of the individual man of the democratic party (applause )—to express bis conviction and to meet his assoc.ates. He regarded, consequently, the certificate from a meeting in the old form as by no means the best evidence o! a man’s right to the position of a delegate; Dut he recoguized the stamp God had pet upon his face and the truth there manilest as better than any writing. ~{Oheers.) Tle asked every democrat without the formal expression of any endorsement by his neigh! to come forward and present his name here as one the peaple—the sovereign people who had assembled there for the purpose hting the wrong of this go- vernment. (Loud cheering. Mr. Sura jfrom the committee on the subject, reported Che following for the permanent officers of the conven- “Yon: — President—Jas. ©. Wadsworth, of Geneseo. Vice Presidente—J. A.

Rich. ¢ Cuaik appointed Messrs. Smith and Townsend to conduct the President, Mr. Wadsworth, to the chair, The President was received with loud cheers. He said Gextiewen oF Tut ConveNtion—I thank you for the dis- tinguished honor which you have conferred upon me on this ovcasion. The cause which has brought us her if one, to us and those we Fi aan of great and ling interest. (Applause.) If the result of our operations here {is to separate us from any portion of the great party in association with which most of us have passe! the best years of our lives, we cannot weigh too cautiously every step which we take, But, gentlemen, if we go back ta dhe pursuit of wisdom to direct oar course—it wo go back *o the eariy days of the republic, and the infancy of the SS republican party—if we go back tothe days of omas Jellerson, aman, let me add, whose memory is hot less dear to us, because, if he were living today, he ‘would be driven an exile from his native State, and would not be allowed to emigrate to the great domain which he added to the possessions of our country west of the Miagouri—(applause)—if we go back thus, geatiemen, dice times, aod drink deep of te fountaia Of freedom, it will be our own fault if we go far astray, ane applauxe.) Coming down to more recent days—to the days of Silas Wright, of Hoffman, of Young—mea who are no longer with us, but who were yet men of our own times—men with whom we fought side by side— men who never betrayed us—men whom we never de- serted—if we plant ourselves, gentlomen, where they panies themselves-—if we adopt the pelueiples: which we ave so often heard so eloquently aud earnestly enforced from their lips, we need not fear to abide by the result. (Cheers.) Those men were democrats because they be lieved in democracy, not because it was the name of a platform laid down for them or laid down over them. fiona cheers.) They looked for and ed wisdom rom the honest and live instincts of the popular rind; they gathered strength from the popular will; they did not look to Washington for instructions or to Ciucin- nati for principles. (Laugbter and applanse.) If we follow in their footeteps, | have uo fears that we shall ever have occasion to regret the course we have taken, I had the honor to be a member of a convention which assembled in this city prior to the Presidential election of 148. That convention laid then and here one of the corner stones of the democracy of New York—a stone of Jeflersen granite—oppor ition to the extension of slave- ry. (Cheers.) Isece about mefthe faces of many men who were. with me, delegates to the National Convention which met at Baltimore in that year, and I claim that as representatives of the democracy of New York we proved ourselves tyue to the great trust reposed in us, When we came out of convention—when the principles of our constitution were tram- pled in the dust—we came here and we sub- mitted our action to the democracy of New York, and were sustaiaed by a vote of 120,000. We stand now where we stood then. (Cneers.) We stand uy the same principles we stood upon then. (Applause.) A few men here and there may have been seduced our ranks by allurements of office, of the flatterfes of power; but I firmly believe the people are now where they were then, (applause); and, if! may be allowed the expres- sion, only more 80—(renewed applause); and I am impa- tient for the day to come when they will record their ver- dict on the issues before us. I will not, gentiemen, detain you further from the important business before you, ex- cept to ask your friendly aid, and, if need be, your indul- gence in discharging the duties which you have imposed upon me, (Renewed applause. Mr. D. D. Fixup, of New York, Chairman of the com- mittee on the subject, then read the address and resolu- tions, as follows:— THE ADDRESS. Fetrow Drmockats—The time has come for democrats to declare their independence of those packed conven- tions, which have lately assumed to dictate the measures and candidates of the democracy—that glorious party of glorious: en, which once spoke and acted for free- dom, but has failen into the hanas jof officeholders and political adventurers, by bo the tools of a slavehold- ing oligarchy. For ten years, the measures ot the general government have been directed mainly to the increase of slave States. One measure followed upon another, each bolder than the last, until we have vio- lence ruling in the federal capital, and civil war raging in the Territories. For the consummation of each mea- sure, the venal have been purchased, the timid fright- ened by threats of dtsunion, the peace loving soothed by promises of future quietness, and the reluctant ard resisting silenced and overborne by clamor and force, effect of party. Each success has led to new aggressions, until at last weak man now at the head of govern- ment, stimulated by a Senator of Illinois, in a rivalry for a Presidential nomination, and believing that the best means of securing it was to secure the entire Southern vote, and the best means of obtaining that, a new sa- crifice 10 slavery, attem| to force through the repeal of an existing law, by which a compromise had been effected by our fathers more than a third ef a cen- tury past; these servile demagogues succeeded in effecting the repeal, though they had their reward. By this act of crime, unparalleled even in our day of political crimes, one of the fairest regions of our country, and indeed of the world, bas been converted into a field of battle, where cifvens of a common country are fighting with each other for the introduction or excluzion of human servitude, Such another spectacle the world dogs not present, and the end of it is dependent upon the event of a Presidential election. The address then attacks the squatter bed ng x A doctrine, stating that if the people «f the Territories have aright to govern themselves, they will make taeir gov- ernors and judges as well as their legisiators, and thatthe true question is, what legislation on the subject of sla- Yer io the Territories does the judgment and conscience of country require? It reviews the affairs of Kansas fat the present time and its prospects for the future, and says our only safety ts to stop where we are, to make Kansas a free State, and to punish the authors of the present ee. and in that way—for that is the onl: way in which it Can be done—put an end to slavery agi- tation. How is this to be accomplished ? By rejecting the Cincinnati Convention and its nominees, ‘they are inseparable. The address then reviews the action of the Cincinnati Convention, and shows that radical cemocrats cau- not support Mr. Buchanan with consistency and continues :—Snall we throw away our votes? we cannot do for two reasons:—First, that we sball thus indirectly contribute to Mr. Buchanan’s election, and second, that there is a choice. Mr. Fremont, who has been nominated by the epee. is an acceptable candidate. His professions his antece- ia known to bo a man of great eapaciy, energy, problty aman capacity, energy, it and integrity. In his hands the Presidestial alice will be vigorously and justly administered. We have, therefore, nominated him for the Presidency, amd his associate, Mr. Dayton, for the Vice Presidency; and we ask you, the demccrats of New York, to ratify ‘this nomination.’ We make no attack upon the South. We remember that the Southern people are our brethren, and we mean to con- tinue them as such; but they shall not intorfere with our rights, nor introduce their institutions into our States, nor fasten them wu} Territories before those Territories are mature enough to be States, and as such to determine their own institutions. The address then criticises the entire policy of the ad- ‘ministration, urging a united effort for its overthrow, concludes by saying —If Mr. Buchanan |s elected, Kan- sas is slave, but if Mr. Fremont is elected Kansas is free; ‘and thus thinking, we shail labor against the one and for the other, and we earnestly ask our fellow democrats to aid us in the work. The address was received with loud cheers. Mr. Frecp then proceeded to read the following resolu- ions :— Forasmuch as the last Convention of the democratic party in this State, and the late Convention at Cincin- pati have not only kept silence respecting the public disorders and violence which now unhap- pily prevail, but have adopted resolutions on the subject of slavery in the territories, which are at vari- ance with the traditions and principles of the democracy, are aparchical iu their tendency, and immoral in thetr re- sults; and forasmuch, also, as the question of slavery ex- tension has been forced by the administration and the Cincinnati Convention into paramount importance, and is made by politicians the hinge on which all other ques- tions turn—therefore Resolved, by the democrats of New York here as- sembled, representing the democracy of the State, That we repudiate these Conventions and all their proceedin, and will act as independently of them as if they pever assembled. Resolved, That, as democrats, we stand upon the plat- forma of Jefferson and Jackson, Tompcins and Wright— neipies which do not change with the clamor of packed cqnventions or schemes of seekers after nomina- tions, andbecause the extension of slavery has never been and can never be the purpose or result, immediate or remote, of the true democracy. We hereby declare our uncompromising hostility to it, and our firm resolu- tion to resist itby every lawful means. We will vote for no man who contributes to it directly or indirectly, and we will oppose the election of any person who does not — as we do ved, That because the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention are pledged to make the resolutions of that Convention their guide and rule of conduct, and because their election would prolong and tend to perpetuate the deplorable misrule of the present aaministration, and be- cause the exigencies of the times demand the union of all who oppose the extension of slavery and the waiver, for the present, of other questions of subordinate importance, and because the opinions of Joh» C. Fremont aad William: L. Dayton on this subject, agree with our own, and there is much in their history and character to commend them to our regard, we hereby nominate them for the offices respectively of President and Vice President of the United States, and will use every honorable effort to secure their election, that we may reseue the Presidential office from the degradation into which it has fallen, and the polities of the country from the corruption which is fast undermining our best institutions Resotved, That the chief practical question jo the Presi- dential election is the question of freedom or slavery im Kaneas. The election of Mr. Buchanan wou!t make Kan- Pas A slave State, and give courage to the siavo-clement jn our national government; while the election of Mr. Fremont will make Kansas a free State, and reduce slavery to what it was in the better days of the republic, and ought ever to have beep——a purely State institution, determinable by the States each for itself, over which the other States have no contro’, and for it nv responsibility. Resolved, That as respects other questions of national and State policy, though the administration and the Cin- cinnati Convention baye made them to be all swallowed up in this one question of slavery extension, yet we are none the less attached to demecratic principles and mea- sures, and none the less ready to labor for them on all necessary occasions. Resolved, That o State Convention of three from each judicial district be appointed to farther the objects of this Convention. ‘The names of Fremont and Dayton were received with loud and long-continued cheering. Mr. Hutos moved the aloption of the resolutions and address. Mr. J. C. Svrra, on seconding the motion, said:—We have inangurated — whieh | have long desired to vee in the Expire State. We stand on the solid ground where we st in 1848, and from which I hope wenever sball again be seduced, Mr. Smith expressed ‘ais satia- faction at the contewts of the admirable paper which bad just been read, and believed that the proceedings of this day would go far to put a stay to the extension of slave- ry. The democracy of New York had the election in their bands. No man ever entered the White House without the vote of the Empire State. (Ap- Plause.) The electors of this State stand in the dircot road to the White House, and the speaker believed that the portion of the democracy here could control the vote ofthe State. They are like the men at the Pass of Thermo- pyi®, few in number but gallant in spirits, a nawill keep at bay the villains sent by the satraps of hell against ther. Let us, be said, be true to the advan ‘of our position and act like determined in the right. Lot us not stop at tradit us pot stop to enquire what is reguinr and what is received by one convention or an- othere=but let us all join our efforts to bring about the tame end, ond the result wil! be more gtorious than any vietory the Empire State has yet achieved. ‘The resolutions and address were then adopted, with lause aud cheers, ‘At the suggestion of Mr. Wrox, the convention ratified the nomination of Fremont and Dayton, by rising. Mr. Townseyp said thas a gentleman was willing to sub- scribe $20 towards the printing of 28,000 copies of the ad- dress and resolutions to be sent to Pennsylvania, This gentieman was Mr. Samue} Griswold. Mr. Porrek moved that the documents be printed gen- erally, (or the use of the convention. Mr. 'Savt, a German editor, moved that 10,000 be print- edinGerman. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Fiexp taid that the democratic party had resolved itself into a society for the spread of slavery all over the earth. He did not think it worth while to follow their example. A Dr-xGaTe said that the printing would cost a great deal of money. Mr. Eaxte, of Rensselaer—Never mind. I will give $500 to begin with—(Applause} id the same every year for ten years. (Applause, and cries of ‘Good.’’) Mr. HoGxwoon, of Columbia, said he genera ly reserved what he bad to say for home consumption; but be might say that, though the name of Van Buren was still dear to Columbia, that county was still sound to the core. There was a new spirit abroad; it would result in a mew or- ganization—the organization of truth and justice. Oboe dient to that organization, the men of Columbia would range themselves on the » ide of free soil, free speech and Fremont. Columbia would give five hundred majority for Fremont. (Cheers. Mr. Van Dyck alluded to the Soft Convention of the 10th January, at which he was a delegate, and refused to accede to the prepositions and resolutions theré pre- sented. He had few sympathizers then, but a great many now. He was proud of the association in which he found himself to-day. The men who met here in January overlooked principles to secure ulterior objects, and gained nothing by it. They were recognized as national democrats, of five months atand- ing. (Laughter.) They were thus admitted into the na- tional party at Cincinuati;-but medical authorities tell us thata five months’ child can rever live. (Cheers and laughter.) They were told if they had presented them- selves at Cincinnati, with the resolutions adopted nue months before the {ull period of the gestation, they would have been surely rejected. (Renewed laughter and ap- ae) Mr. Van Dyck was glad to see many men here whom fie knew in 1848, when he was talking tree soil, through the Albany .Aflas, before it badadead body bound to it. (Appiause.) While he was happy to con- gratulate them that they were once more free to fay, to do, to act, and, if necessary, to suffer, he was free to confess that there were some voices that, 80 far as this side of the question was concerned, were silent—not only silent, but perverted. He had read of one who buried his talent, and he had heard of people who took their talents and wrapped them in the winding sheet of the administration, aud buried them under the Custom House. (Loud laughter and applause.) But in the latter case one of them made a compromise with his duty, and offered a premium of $250 for ten years, for the privilege of making himself a nonentity; but he was responsible to the country, and the speaker would leave him there if he had any. He was content to say, in the language of inspiration, that in #0 far as those backsliders are ccncerned, that happened to them according to the proverb, the dog had returned to bis vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. Lory a and applause.) speaker continued to say that he thought proper way to preserve the Union was to do right, and taat this agitation was right. Ts was the duty of every man here to do right, and leave the consequences to God. Mr. Van Dyck closed by pledging himself to the ticket. Mr. Timomuy Jenkrns, of Oneida, sald that he ferred to talk about the future rather than the past. ‘We stand here,’’ be said, “I firmly believe, that we represent the true democracy of New York.” (Applause.) I acknow- ledge that thare have been as good democrats as we are, but when they turned to advocate the extension slavery, I say that they are no longer democrats, and that we fre. I have no prejudices agaiast our Scuthern brethren, but let them keep their principles to themselves and not attempt to carry Slavery into Territories now free. It is our duty to go home and join hands with every one who is willing to join us in ition to the administration. The queati is, simply, shall we go with those who are opposed to us or with those who are with us, in this matter? We be- lieve that Fremont and Dayton will be elected, but we ‘want the whole peaple to come into the movement. With fee | disunion than anything else in the world, man, like Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Pierce, that gets the Union into difficulties. Puta strong man, like Mr. Fre- mout, and you will have the Union safe, and the counti prety governed. If Mr. Buchanan were él e would be taxing every citizen to buy Cuba; and if that would not do, he preferred to follow out the principles of the Ostend circular. He would go to war and seize it by force. It was his policy, it appeared by the Cincinnati reselutions, to extend a sort of republican protectorate all over the world, to be sustained by the principle of introducing slavery first, and allowing free dom to look out for itself afterward. Warp Hent, of Oneida, pitched into the previous Na tional Convention generally, and said that this convention represented the pure essence of the democracy of New York. They were here to answer to Ey adopted at Cincimnati. That platform was based on the iple of the extension Nebraska, and Buchagan, pla lopted day, and I trust, said he, it will be reccived as plattorm of the democracy of the State. the charge that the Fremont party was not national, Mr. Hunt said that New York was large ci for him, but | ang vote lwigye yg nape ngbar sey jends south of Buren did not ge was carried a them, will be hind by them in 1886. " (Applause, John Van Buren have leit us in 1! us now who did not act with us then, ‘the State of New York in the contre, southwest, north and cast, are with us by a majority, an cracy of the free States are with us; poy Hig is with us, and James Buchanan is repudiated in If John Van Buren had been true to himself ho blican candidate, and the next President of 8. The battle was not for the been the ré the United black raco— it was a battle New York, of the glorious old Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts—God bless her. This was bad enlisted for, and which he meant the end, Mr. Townsend continued at to comment on the recreancy of northern men in Congress. He was very severe on Mr. Fillmore and his men in Congress from*this State—Messrs. Whitney, Ha- ven and Vaik. If he had a choice between Fillmore and Buchanan, he should vote for Buchanan, more wished to deny free labor any chance whatever, whether foreign or native. Fillmore had placed himself atthe head of a for the of doing gross wrrong to men of every clime. Mr. Townsend closed with a strong | for Fremont—predicting his suecess in the most sanguine terms. Short speeches were afterwards made b; B. Stan- ton, F. J. Fithian, of Buffalo, and John G. , of Long —_ They all endorsed the nominations and the reso- jutions. Mr. Vax Dyck moved that a committee of three be ap- pointed to superintend the publication of the address and resolutions, and to receive the cuntributions that may be banded in for that purpose. The Cuam appointed as such committee, H. H. Van Dyck, T. B. Carrol and F. J. Fithian. The ’xxipeNT then announced the following committee a inted under the sixth resolution: — : ‘rst district, D. D. Field, J. J, Coddington, and J. H. itu, Second district, R. Dennison, J. G. Floyd and P. 8. Crooks. ‘Third district, T. G. Hogeboom, tra Porter and J. A. Millard, Fonrth district, Platt Potter, J. F. Sherrill and D. M. Cun district, J. Wooster, Ward Hunt and 8. Green. Sixth district, W. M. Grey, J. H. Selkrey and W. @. 1 district, R. Campbell, J. Godfrey and H. R. sericbih district, F. H. Stevens, H. J. siekles and 3 Grover. Mr. Davis moved that the name of the President be added to the committe. A On the motion of Bexsasty Weion, Jr., the thanks of the Convention were tendered to the President, for the able manner in which he had performed the duties of the chair, and then the Convention adjourned sine die. The Hexaty reporter wishes to present his compl\- ments to the secretaries, who were excessively uncivil and disobliging. Mass Meeting of the Radical Democracy. Syracese, July 24—10 P.M. At the Convention to-day about one half of the counties in the State were represented. Tho majority of the dele- gates were from Troy, Albany, Buffalo, Utica, and ether Places on the line of the Central read. A list of the dele- gates was not completed, and was refused to your re- porter by the secretaries. A meeting of the people was held at Market Hail in the evening. The weather was het, but there was a good attendance. Mr. D. D. Field, of New York, was the principal speaker. He opened with an ailusion to the proceedings of the Convention which had agreed to the nomination of Col. Fromont, who bad carried the banner of the Union over the Rocky Mountains and opened a golden road to the Indies. Col, Fremont, he said, had borne office to the honor and credit of the country. Though from a slave Stato, he was found working with freemen for freedom. The men who no- minated him to-day were not members of a packed con- vention, not bruisers, shoulder hitters—not office holders, not office seekers, but men fresh from the body of the people. This Qonvention was composed of truly repre: sentative men, from all parts of tue State—men at whose eall the democracy were accustomed to rise, and will rise. They came here because for the firet time the issue between slavery and freedom was bow presented to the people. Now the question was to be settled—shall this bea {ree or a slave republic? Mr. Field then proceeded to argue the slavery question, on its legal merits. The Southern politicians bad endeavored to inerease the uum- ber of slave States, by setting up two propositions—tirst, the repeal of the Missouri comp 2; BecowY, to enforce the democratic party the dogma that owners of slaves bad aright to take them into avy State, in opposition to law, ‘The proposition was carried by the democracy of Presi dent Pierce, who was, te said, a traitor to his party, traitor to his country, « traitor to his office and a traitor to posterity, (Applause) Mr. Field then recited aud commented upon the Kansas affairs for the past two Years. He was sure that Kansas might be mate if lar. Fremont was elected. If Mr. Buchanan was elected overytbing woul be done to beneiit the slavebolding politicians and put down the free State men. Mr. Bu bana and the democracy of Cincinnati have assumed the ground that slavebok ers bave the right to take then slaves into the Territories, aud that is one great reason why we are bere (o-Cay in opposition to Mr. Buchanan, How any democretean support bim itis difficult to perceive. The supporters of Mr. Buchanan take the ground that slavery is notan evil. Why then is the slave trade prohibite 1? Why has not the South Carolivian a right to bring in his flave from Africa or Cuba? Iv is precisely the same thing, and it would not be surprising to see, in the event of Mr, Buchanan's election, the doctrine advanced by bis party that the repeal of the prohibition of the foreign blave trade was good democratic doctrine. ‘This was the platform which was to be forced down the throats of the kood and true men of the North next November.

But the danger is imminent, and we must,be up and do- ang. We have a great work to do before election. Not a man cat be spared. Mr. Field's speech was able, forcible and eloquent. ‘The meeting was further addressed by Mr. Cochrane of Albany, and others, and dissolved about ten o'clock. Massachusetts American State Convention. Bostox, July 24, 1856. The American State Convention for the nomination of Governor and other State officers met at Faneuit Hall to- day, at 12 o’elock. The attendance of delegates is quite large. Moses G. Cons called the Convention to order, and, after a few remarks, called for a nomination of a tempo- rary Chairman. Great confusion ensued, in which the names of Mr. Farwell, of Bcston; Mr. Fletcher, of Lowell; Mr. Coit, of Pittsfield, and others were heard. The Cuaim stated that he first heard the name of Mr. Fletcher, and put it, when the ‘noes’? were loudest, aud he decided the motion lost. A count was then calied for, and the vote taken by ris- ing, when the Chair said 347 had voted to sustain the no- mination of Mr. Fletcher, and 241 opposed it. This result was claimed asa victory by the Fremont men, and they loudly cheered; while the Fillmore men hissed, and called for a division of the house. Mr. Fletcher was finally elected temporary Chairman. The Committee on Credentials reported 151 towns repre- sented by 721 delegates. The Fillmore men, who had anticipated a majority, ere J themselves outnumbered by the Fremont party, insisted upon a thorough sifting of the double delegations and the contested seats, number- ing 81. The subject of the contested seats led to a warm debate, which, with other matters relating to permanent organization, occupied the entire afternoon. Up to eleven o’clock at night, the Convention still unor- The Fillmoreites occupied one side of the hall, @ Fremonters the other, and were nearly balanced in numbers. General good nature was exhibited, and the Tepeated threats ofthe temporary Chairman, Me. Fletcher, (Frernonter) to call the police to preserve ordar has so far had the desired quieting effect. At present it is impossible to say when the Convention will be permanent! y organized. New York Whig State Central Committee.

The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the bill authorizing the protection ef citizens of the United States who may discover guano deposits. The bill was passed. It provides that whenever any citizens of the United ‘States shall discover new guano islands, &c., not occupied by persons of any other government, and occupy the same, they shall be considered as appertaining to the United States, the discoverers to be allowed the exclusive right of selling and delivering guano, and to receive $8 to deliver it at the vessel, and $4 at the of deposit; the guano to be only for citisens of the United States. The land and naval forces of the country are to protect such islands, and the laws of the United are to ex- tend over them. HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS. The bills for the improvement of the harbors of Mil- waukie and were . The bill for the improvement of the harbor at the = of Grand river was discussed until the adjourn- ment, House of Representatives. Wasmixoton, July 24, 1356. A call of the House was taken, in order to procure a full attendance of members, of whom 140 only were pro- sent. The doors were closed to hear excuses for absentees. None were offered for Mr. Burlingame, An hour and a half was thus consumed, when the House went into Com- mittee of the Whole on THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Barnovr, (nigger worshipper) of ind., moved to amend the clause sppropriating $3,275,000 for the pay of the army, by adding a disapproval of the code of alleged jaws of Kansas and the manner they are enforced, ex- — declaring that, until they shall be confirmed by gress no part of the federal military forces shall be employed for their enforcement, nor shall any citizens of Kansas be compelled to act a8 a posse comitatus of any officer acting as Marshal or Sherii! of the Territory. Mr. Pumtrs, (dem.) of Mo., raised a question that such ae not, by the rules, be embraced in the The Cnaimman (Mr. Leiter) decided otherwise, and, on — was sustained by the Committee, by 74 against 4, ir. Banno tion, by prev usurpation, a ter, Never before had the army been employed to ar- rest or disperse citizens presumed to be guilty of violat- there sball be no laws for the government ‘of 20,000 or 80,000 peuple, and would close the courts against redress for iajuries in civil cases. The army had been sent to Kaneas in obeaience to the applicat! m of the free State men, for their protection. Mr. Srevnens, (national) of Ga., did not think Congress bad the er to control the President in the manner pro- posed. The President, being commander-in-chief of the army, they could not impose conditions. The Legisia- ture, (nothing having been disclosed to the contrary) was legal, and its Inws must be enforced until abolished or changed by the authority. If he had hie way he should withdraw army from Kansas, believing the people capable of self goverament. He did not want {troops to enforce laws. Mr. Gropines, (nigger worshipper) of Ohio, declared that Missourians and not the peop'e of Kansas, (ramed those laws. It was a usurpation notto be permitted in a republi- can government—a despotism never before known. He ‘was willing that the army should be eens, = not employed to disperse persona peaceably assembling, or to arrest them on Yhe mere allegation of offence. Mr. Wirrerenp, , for once im his life o army should be with- long time had been anxious for this, give A farthing for the law whieb could not be sustained by the people. He denied the.r \. gress to repeal the Inws of Kansas. A Sj the United States was the proper tribunal to prowounce ‘upon their ity. But for inflamreatory made here by N "a men, Kansas woald now be as quiet as Qpy part ofthe country. The Missourians, as eharged, were not responsible jor the disturbances. Mr, Savacr, (dem.) of Tenn., said it was the duty of the President to enforce the laws and al! inswr- the cbject of the amendment to seize a power which Congress has no right to exercise, and as part of a game to obetruot the operation of the laws. Mr. Sweeway ea yy worshipper), of Ohio, said when he was in Westport, saw a large force of armed Mis. sourians taking up the line of march for Kanaas, to en- force the preten.ied laws. These things are now done. Massocbugetts men and others from pr vertes from travelliag on the Mere" 0, Missourians, and @xcluded (rom the Territory, Mr Whitield started with the company from Westport He saw him go. In wer to a question by Mr. Wioteid, he sad that Whit- mformed bin at that time that be was going over for peaceful purposes—to prevent a fight Mr. Waereeiy expiniae d at | ), to the effect that he did not go with the Missouri foree, but went with a small party to prevent diticulty—aothing more. Mr. MeMeiixs (dew.), of Va., thought the pending Proposition was a direct attack on the Executive depart went, with which the House had no right to interfer Mr) Commack, (nigger worshipper) ef Ind., said the Ameudmous is to prevent the enforcement of laws never Passed by the people of Kansas. Op osite side of the House intended to plac on the ground of carrying out the original plot of repeal- ing the dlissouri Compromise, to make Kansas a siave Stte. Free State men haye a right to go therein’ such bumbers as they eboose. Mr. Fronvace, (dem.) of Pa., indignantly denied that he bad voted to repeai ‘the Missouri restriction, for the Purpose of making Kaneas a slave State. The gentleman trom Indiana should not go accuse members ef improper motives. did not approve of all the laws 388, but wanted them enforced till repealed or mo- Gifled ; hence he would keep an arwy there tll the people return (0 a sense of justice and propriety. Mr. Kxnyarr, (K.N.) of Mo., attributed the troubles to a deliberate determination formed ai certain mem- bers of Congress, pending the Nebraska Kansas bit, to make Kangas a free State. The adoption of the amend. ment would leave the Territory in a condition of discord and civil war. Mr. Srerumys, replying to Mr. Cumback, said, as a Southern and national man, it was not his object in voting for a repeal of the Missouri restriction to make Kansas a. slave State. He wished to leave the people to settle their own institutions. Mr. Cxaicr, (dem.) of N. C., made a similar avowal. Br. Quivman, (dem.) of Miss., in condemning the amendment, did not believe those who spoke in favor of it would dare to usurp a power not granted by the con. stitution, by assuming the functions of the judiciary, and depriving the Presideut of the duty imposed on him by that instrument. Mr. Wakeman, (nigger worshipper) of N Y., contended that Congress can repeal, not ouly part, but ail the laws of Kansas. The constitation gave ample power. The Senate has so declared i its Kansas bill. Mr. Sewarv, (dem.) of Ga., said Mr. Wakeman stood forth as an open violator of the constitution. He was op posed to the withdrawal of the forces, bacause if this was doue civil war would forthwith ensue. Mr. Mittson, (dem.) of Va., deprecated the introduc- tion of the amendment. Mr. Simmons (nigger worshipper), of N. ¥., advocated it on coustitutional grounds. Mr. Stanton, (nigger worshipper) of Ohio, moved an amendment dectaring the laws of Kansas null and void. He would stand by this, even at the hazard of the loss of 6 Dill. Cries of * Agreed.” Messrs. Letcukr and Bowie earnestly opposed these proceedings. Mr. Stanton’s amendment was agreed to by 67 against 56. Mr. Barbour’s proposition, thus amended, was adopted by 72 against 57. ‘The House has yet to vote on the bill. The Committee then rose. ‘THE KANSAS CONTESTED CASS. Mr. Waamevryx, (nigger worshipper) of Me., from the Committee on Elections, reported a resolution declaring Mr. Whittleld not elected to a seat, and that Mr. Reeder be admitted to the seat as delegate from Kansas. Mr. Washburne gave notice that be would call up the resolution on Wednesday next. Recess till 7 o'clock. EVENING SESSION. Mr. Crank, (K. N.) of N. ¥., condemued the repeal of the Missouri compromise as the source of the strife and heartburning prevalent throughout the country, and the bloodshed in Kansas. ‘Mr. Camvazit, (K. N.) of Ky., gave notice of his inten- tion to speak of the corruptnesa of the government from the period of Mr. Bucbanan’s connection with it, holding himself responsible in or out of the Capitol for what be may utter. Mr. Buxxton, (nigger worshipper,) of Ind., argued very extension, and exposed the inconsisten- ‘emocratic platforms ou that subject. , (dem.) of N. C., while defending Mr. Bu- chapan, said, that the continuance of Mr. Fillmore in the Presidential contest must very greatly increase Mr. Fre- mont’s chances of election. In Support of this opinion he noted the New York Courier and and Trilune. le reviewed, in condemnation, Know Nothiagism, North and South, charging that, in the former section, it is al- ied with abolitionism. Mr. Evans (dem.) of Texas, opposed filibusterism, re- plying to the speech of Mr Quitman and condemning the doctrines of Mr. Buchanan, as avowed in the Ostead Con- ference. Adjourned. From Washington. Wasnotos, July 24, 1856, Mr. Campbell, ina card published in the Union, re- quests a suspension of public opinion in relation to the statement of Mr. Brooks until Mr. Burlingame returns to Washington. The Committee on Elections reported, to-day, in favor of giving the contested seat from Kansas to Reeder, and had the subject postponed to next week, owing to theab gence of a number of ‘members. Mr. Burlingame arrived thia evening. It is understood the matter is at an end—at least there will be nothing done for a day or town. Col. Brooks is still in the city, awaiting any action Mr. Burlingame may take. ‘The President and the French Minister visited, to-day, Commodore Vanderbilt's new steamer.

A correspondent of the News states that, unfortunately for our prestige in Ind! ‘an idea has lately got ‘abroad among ibe matives money can effect anything in England; and the ex-King has consequently provided himsel! with a purse contain- ing twenty lacs of rupees (£200,000), which, added to his yearly allowance of £120,000 from the Nast India Com- ny, will make a tolerable foundation on which to build his hopes of success.

The King brings with him some twelve or four- teen of his wives (his harem numbered 150 four years ago), ten or twelve noblemen of his court, each of whom bas one or more wives, besides many in his train.

Perhaps there twice the member of vessels thir year employet in the sugar traffic, sompared with any former year. ‘As a consequenve, there are many more cases of conta- gious fever at, Quawantine than are usual at this tice of the year, and the Health Oficer has bee compelied to be mueh more strie? in overhaaling and cieanwing vessele than on ordinary cesagions, This has caused much an- noyance to merchants and shippers, and they have com- plained loudly of the detentioa of their vessels; but the facts in the case clearly warrant the action of the Health Officer, in the opinion @? the Emigration Cowmissiouors.
