THE WHIG NATIONAL CONVENTION. SECOND Day. Barrios, Sept. 18, 1856. The Presidezt called the Convention to order at 10 clock. Mr. Scoville, of Connecticut, was substituted for . Krevals, as Vice President, at | juest of the ter. ‘The Convention was opened by prayer by Rev. Mr. Car- bau, of Baltimore. The committee not being prepared to report, the Con- ntion was addressed by Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, The bige of Maryland, when they issued the cal! for this Govention, never dreamed that such a response as this ‘ould be made from the North, South, East and Weat. lhey came to choose a great captain, and with a complete pontaniety their choice would fall oa Millard Fillmore, Great applause.) Here Mr. Conran, the Chairman of the Committee on olutions, entered and presented their report in the form ‘@ serice Of resolutions, instead of in the form of an ad- lress, which report, he said, had been unanimously adop:- Md by the Convention. Here 10 platform:— Resolved, That the whigs of the United States assembled re by reverence for the constitution and unalterable attach- nt 10 the national Union, and a fixed determination to do all their power to preserve ft for themselves und posterity. hey have no new principles toanmounce, £0 new platform to lials, but are content broadly to rest where thelr fore- hers haverested, upon the constitution of the United States, ishing no safer guide, no higher law. Resolved, That we regard with the deepest anxiety the pre- nt disordered condition of our national aifairs, a portion of country being ravaged by civil war, and large sections of population embittered by mutual recriminations; and we jstinctly trace these calamities to the eulpable neglect of duty phe present natioaul administration, Resolved, That the government of the United States was ned by’ the conjunction or political unity of wide spread ograpbical secuions, materially differing, not only uate and products, but in their’ social and pmestic inetitutions, and that any cause which shall amaventiy array these sections in politica’ hostilities organized parties, founded only on geographical distine- pis, musi inevitably prove taal to the coutinuance of the ioaai Union. Kesolved, That the whigs of the United States have declared, the furditpental article of their political faith, the absolute vais of avoiding geographical parties; that the danger so jearly discerned by ihe Facher of his Country, founded on Keographical distinction.” has now beceme fearfully appa- nt in the agitation convuising the nation. which must be ested at once if we would preserve our constitutional Inion from dismemberment and the name of America from ping blotted from the family of civilized nations. Resolved, That all who revere the constitution and the Inion must look with alarm at the parties in the field in the ai Presidential canvass—one claiming only to represent Dorthera Staves. and tho oiher appealing to the pas: nd preudices of the Southern States; that the success of ther of the factions must add fuel to the flame which now reaiens to wrao our dearest interest into one common ruin Kesotved, That the only remedy for an evil so appalling is to ppore the candidate pledged to neither al sections pw atraye1 in political antagonism, but holding both in just dequal regard: that we congratulate the friends of the Union at stich a candidate exists in Millard Fillmore, . That without adopting or referring to the pec: ns of the party who have already selected Millard s he candidate, we look to him asa well tried and rend of the constitution and the Union, eminent alike F his wisdom and firmness, for his justice and moderation in ign relations, for his ealm and pacific temperament, weil coming a great.and enlightened but beyond all those attributes, of bei wainst the two sectional parties now struggling remacy. ed,” That in the present exigency of political affairs are not called upon to discuss sabordinate mitisiration iv exercising the constitutional of go: ment. ft is enough to know that civil war is raging, and Union fa peri, and proclaim the conviction that a restora {urnish the best, if not the ewe. approve of the nomination of n of the F Presidency will odrew 3.

Hiram Karcuum, of New York, next took the floor The question was, what they should do to carry out ther resolve ? He would say for New York that she would give her electoral yote for Millard Fillmore. (Loud cbeers). And why? How could be speak with so much confidence’ The party organized in New York for the support of Millard Fillmore is better organized than any otber part the United States. ‘hey had counted their num’ and found that they outnumbered their foes. (Cheers.) New York would bea breakwater to fave the South from the storm coming from the East. He wished the South could have seen the Fillmore demon- ‘ration in New York last week, and they would have ‘uith in that State. He would that he could be certain tbat Virgivia would stand side by side with New York. With New York at the head of the free States, and Vir- ginia at the bead of the slave States, they would com- mand peace. He (Mr. K.) bad, prior to this canvass, re- tired from public life, but he tound that be could not, from his sense of Cay his country, remain in retire- ment. He had consulted Mr. Everett of Massachusetts in respect to the executive abilities of Mr. Fillmore, and Mr. &. bad given him a most favorable character for extraor- divary executive ability, found legal Jegrning and incorruptible honesty. He knew that that else was the opinion of Webster; and this Convention Rad heard the testim uy given by Wm. A. Graham, of North Carolina, member ot Mr. Fillmore’s Cabinet. What other teat!- mony could they require? All they had to do was to elect Mr. Filimore. The vote of New York.would be given for him, Let them not heed what they read iu the public press. Ho was sure that he was correct, and he based his confidence on the public demonstrations made in New York in favor of Mr. Fillmore, and the failures @f the Fremont demonstrations in Albany and elsewhere. He believed New Jersey would come to their help, and be expectea thst even Pennsylvania would do so. He wished also to hear from the delegates of the several States. Ipatead of giving them an oppor. tunity, however, Mr. K. continued a long winded speech, reviewing the Brooks and Sumner outrage, and many other matters foreign to the “ subj Both Brooks and Sumner, he said, belonged to parti which would disgrace thecountry. But they—the whigs —came bere as the jutional party, to take a leader who had been tried and found not wanting, not tried and convicted. Joux P, Sanperson spoke for Pennsylvania, and would only ray for the whigs and Americans of that State what Colonel Miller said ona memorable occasion, ‘We'll try.”” (Cheers.) One thing he would say, that James Buchanan would not get the el al vote of his State. The State election coming off would show the democratic party to be ip a muority of forty . Mir. Cooren spoke for Tennessee, and her for Fillmore, sure. He knew, too, that the Union sentiments embodied in their resolutions would find a hearty and ready response from Andrew Jackson Donelson. Mr. Nicuoras spoke for Keatucky. In the contest tucky would be where she had ever been, on the side of the country. (Cheers.) He had this Con- vention would have done something with a special eye to the rallying of the old whigs of Kentucky and Tennessee. The leaders of the democracy there are telling the people that they are the Life Guard of the Union; but let the Whig Convention strip off this disguise, and show these men to be the unredeemed leaders of that democracy which they bad for years denounced as unworthy of contidence, and then there would be no danger of the issue of the contest. Lat the people know, as ho im his conscience believe, that the Union was in danger, and Kentuckians and Ten- wee feoren be found battling together for the Union. neers. , Mr. Wotre also spoke for Kentucky. He rejoiced to be engaged in the resuscitation of a party, the ashes of whose leacer are reposing under the soil of Kentucky, id He vouched for Kentucky. It is impossib! ‘that sbe could be recreant to her duty. Clay stood by Millard Fillmore in the political excitement of 1850, and Kentucky would not forget the warning voice of her leader, but the whig fiag would in Novvember next ficat aa triumphantly fa as it ever cid be fore. (Cheers.) Kentucky was not ready to turn democrat. She was whig to the core, and would be as true to ber whig duties now as she had been peretotore. Her vote would be cast for Millard Fillmore in November as surety as November came. (Cheers.) He should like Massachucctts to say the samo. Mr. Fow.er spoke for Massachusetts. She had sup- ted Milliard Fillmore for the Vice Presidency, she Baa supported Millard Fillmore in the Presidency, and in consistency she ought to eupport Millard Fil) more tor the Presijency. There were hot and hasty spoken men in Massachusetts, of whom John Quincy Adams and Josiah Quincy were types. But there were aiso consistent com. mon sense men in Massachusetts, of whom Daniei Web- ster among the dead, and Edward Everewt a: the | ing, were types. And such men were yet to speak out in the canyvase. Mr. Waxre, of Mass., declared that Boston and the other ge og ty Big would, if the vote were taken to day, vote for Millard Fillmore; and he thought that the whole State might even yet be won for the w! Ann. J. ot moved that when this Con ‘jour jourm to meet in this hall on the third 7 in May, 1860. ‘ ‘The Presipest stated that the Whig National Commit- ‘vo bad authority over that matter, mbers of that committee as follow: ranger; Mississippi—Geo.

Thomas; Kentucky—Joshua F. Bell. Jaones W. Thorson spoke for Delaware, and anounnced ‘that she was pretty safe for the whig cause. Mr. Devwie, of Md,, made a pon trom Richard Til.:— “Now 18 the winter of our diecontent made glorious summer by this son of York’’—supposed to have refer- ence to Mr. Fillmore and the fossils, Gov, Trimutm spoke for Ohio. He thought there was littie hope for that State. Still, he ib they would give Mr. Fillmore a very respectable vote. L P. Sanpensom spoke for Fierida. She was a whi State in 1848. Ip 1850 she proclaimed for them. In 185% the delegation from that State to the Whig National Con- vention voted al! the time for Millard Fillmore. (Cheers.) Since then, the American Order had absor' a large proportion of the whigs and many democrats, that Order was now pormanent. He believed that Florida would give ‘a little more grape’ for Filimore. Mr. Warnes, of Mass., offered the usuai resolves of thanks to the President and officers of the Conventioa, and to the Committee of Arrangoments, and to the citizens of Daitimore. The resolutions were unsuimousiy adopted. Mr. Hr pledged Louisiana to the support of Fillmore and Donelson by at least three thousand majority. It waa then moved that the Convention adjourn sine die, Before ¢ the question the Presinxyt (ifr. Bates) addrenec: Convention in a parting speech. He ac- cused the press of a systematic effort at falsehood and suppression in to this contest, and therefore they were not to rely onthe newspapers. He regarded the Nebraska bill as the foantain of ail the evils which menaced the country, and he reviewed the history of that question, The Convention, at 4P. M., adjourned sine dis, with cheers for their candidate, and amid much enthusiasm. There bave been most extensive pr for the mass ratiCcation meeti bean ay) in Monument square.

It is estimated that there was no less than twenty thou- sand persons present. MR. BUCHANAN AND THE NEW YORK UNION DEMOCRATIC CLUB. PuiLappurmia, Sept. 18, 1856, The New York Union Democratic Club visited Inde- pendence lial! this morning, and were warmly welcomed by Mayor Vaux, to which the President *f the club re. sponded. Subsequently they partook of an entertain. ment at the American Hotel. ‘This afternoon, on learning (hat Mr. Buchanan bad ar- rived, they visited the Merchants’ Hotel, accompanied by the Keystones. At firet an excuee was made for the nou-ap- pearance of Mr. Buchanan, who was much fatigued from travel, but he finally made his » ‘ance in eompll ance to the vociferations with which he was greeted, He bricily returned bis thanks for the honor and good feeling exhitited, and enid he would like to make them a speech, but as he war now the candid of the great democratic party, political etiquette commayded bim to bo silent.

The Seventh Congressional district, composing the Ninth, Sixteenth, and Twentieth wards, appears to be fa- vored with apy quantity of aspirants for Congressional bonors. First on the tapis was Jobn Bullock, Know No- thing, concerning whom the public, like himself, were all Know Nothings. Next came George N. Briggs, also a member of the Know Notbing party, who has already been @ member of Congress. He is put in nomination by tbat portion of the party who were disgusted with the nomization of Bullock. now, the democrats, deter- mived not to be outdone by their opponents, have put two more candidates in the field. Two conventions, known as “Wood” and ‘Anti-Wood,”’ were held on Wednesday evening, the first of which put in nomine- tion Ge jjah Ward, and the last Recorder James M. Smith, Ji @ Anti Wood Convention claim that their delegates received four to one of the legal votes at the Primary election, and hence they determined to hold a separate convention. Their nomination was made unani- mously—it was acce) upanimously, and their candi- date declares be shall run, and hopes to be elected unani- mously.

Lewistown, Murrtiy Co., Pa., Sept. 17, 1856, The Politics of Mifflin County. This village is immeasurably the pretticet and most life luke on the route from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Eligibly jocated, and handsomely diviied and laid out, its im. Provements approximate nearer to the requirements of modern convenience and taste than those of any of its sisters through which my Journeyings have passed me. Approached by the Susquehanna river, on which it lies, and the Central Railroad, which passes immediately in its front, its commerce and trade more nearly assimilate to the dignity of a respectable and profitable business than any one of the multitudinous inland towns that dot the entire public pathway. The transactions are mainly im cereals and irons, the former collected in suificient quantities to operate two extensive mills, yielding annve ally five hundred thousand barrels ef flour of superior quahty, and the latter im such abundance of material as to meet the continuous demand of tour furnaces, two forges, and one extensive general machine shop, which seve- raily give profitable employment to a very considerable number of industrious workmen. In addition to these, there are quite a number and variety of woll filled stores, and every branch of the mechanic arts is to be found, if not on ap enlarged, at least ov a living soale—all indicat. ing general thrift and prosperity. The public buildings, embracing the court house, hall, und the churches, six ia number, and the major portioa ofthe private residences, giveevidence of an improved and elevated taste, and exhibit clearly the superior ex- cellence of its population, who are, indisputably, institut- ing the most commendable efforts to keep pace with the progress of the times and the age. In the miast of such a people the interests of education arc, of course, duly appreciated, and to meot the demand acentral academy and a number of elementary schools have been or- ganized, affording thereby to every citizen the accessible means to its advantages and blessings. its present popu- lation is nearly four thousand. Three newspapers are issued weekly, and constitute the entire prees of the county. The Zrue Democrat, with 4 circulation of 960, is the organ of the democracy ; the Lewistown Gazette, with an issue of 800, the mouth picce of the whiga, [if any there be, which is exceedingly pro- blematical, Beyond its on immediate editor, whose ton dencies aré too Fremontith not to enable us to designate securately bis true posiion); and the Aurora, par excel lence, the American exponent, with a list of some 500 rames. Miilin is asmall county, and was democratic in all its party Ues and afliliations pre rious to the general infec: ton of Americanism. In 1862, in the Pierce and Scott contest, the record exhibited an aggregate vote of 5,012, with a Pierce majority of 228 votes. In the State issue «f 1856, the Know Nothings in the interim baving organ- ized in its fifteen election districts nine distinctive Coun- cile, composed of @ membership of some 1,400 voters, the raggregate vote was diminished $20, and the county }0 the Americans by 72 majority These Councils still are in full and successful operation, and are gene rally regarded the controlling element of the opposition forces. In fact, the nominations now made by them are the universally accredited opposition ones, and will be stained by the republicans proper, from motives of political ba pm Fu here, as in the other coun- Wes through which | ha: i, is the inevitable re- tult, and the nomination of State electoral ticket will No man bere, itis presumed, of even ordi- men, Would jeopard his Wistlin, Centre, bas presented an American and democratic candidate for the popular suffrage. The Americans are represented by General Irwin, of Mifllin, and the democracy by Allison White, of Climton. In 1862 the entire vote of the district was 16,049, di- vided as follows:—Pierce 9,608, Scott 6,909, Hale 332— exhibiting a majority for the democracy of 2,467 votes. Im 1866 the result was—Amoericans 7,371, democratic 744 free 01! 50—a lesser vote by 2,976 than the voto of 1863, The contest in both the county and the district, it is be lieved, will be @ very close one, and the majority in cither case will be exceedingly small, not exceeding possibly votes. j one bundred and thi Yo this county all are seemingly equally conf. dent of success. fhe ol are #0 evenly balanced that jt would be an exceedingly difficult task to determ: problem.

Proposing to visit Hunting. vu, my next letter will date from that locality, Tho $ weather comtinued delightfully pleasaat 3 OPENING DAY IN NEW YORK. Inauguration of the Wall Fashtons. Vestervay was * opeuing day,’ and a tbe weather was af! tbat could be desired, the fair votaries of fashiou went from piace to piace, it apecting, criticising and comparing everything submitted to their judgment Nothing so @rouses the interest and curiosity of our ladies as the ad vent of a new fasbion, for though the advems of a new singer ‘3 all very well, it is as nothing compared with it. ‘This will accouat for the sustained enthusiasm with whiel they crowd the exhibition rooms aud black up the streets oue opening day after avotber, the eagerness with which tbey look forward to {t, and the celight with which they bail its arrive’. This year they had not so long to wait, Sor the fall geuson commenced earlier thaa usual, attributable, in a great measure, to the sumber of visiters in our midst Those helped to sweil the gay and fashionably dressed throng that on such occasions imparts an uimated boliday look to our great business thorovghfare. But yes terday Broadway was in @ state of blockade, for every lady wore hoop, avd it was impossible for any one ig- norant of the mysteries of those “ vicious circlea’’ to edge bio or her way through them. In fact, the indies zow resemble Mrs. Buimber, and “it is quite an excursion to"walk round them.”’ Speaking of hoops, nothing proves more ecaclusively the omnipotence of fashien than the alacrity with which all classes, from the lady to the kitchen maid, adopted this most ungraceful style—thia worn out folly of a departed century. Where now are the flowing lines, the softening folds, the wavy undalating grace, the ease and pliability of motion, that constituted our oli fashioned ideas of grace and beauty? Where are the Waves deserving note In tue iempestuous petticoat : The dress of a fashionable iady now has about as much mobility as that of a wooden image. If that ia grace, then we bave attained the perfection of it. * Yesterday, however, augured well for the future; for the light summer fabrics to which the hoop owes ex- isteace bave disappeared from the winfows, and in their place appear heavy brocaded silks, rich velvets and glancing moire antiques. ‘The following estabiiehments “opened” yesterday, and were besieged through the greater part of the day by a host of visiters:— Broapway.—W. Simons, Mrs. Simmonds, Mme. Har- ris & Sop, Mrs. Smythe, W. Jackson, Mrs, Hichards, Madame de Vos, Misses Atkinson & Mather, Miss Alice Morgan, Madame Malherbe, Madame Parry, W. Browne.

There is more variety in the form of bounots for the coming seasen than usual, but it is confined whoily to the crown. Tbe fronts are invariably smal! and roceding, slightly pointed at the centre, and flaring at the sides, and as unlike the old fashioned idea of a bonnet as can well be conceived. The capes are full and pointed, but not so deep as those of last season nor so profusely trimmed. Indeed, this remark may be aprlied to the body of the bat, for though still more elaborately ornamected thaa simplicity or good taste would warrant, it compares fa vorably, in this respect, with the outgoing fashion. A move has been made in the right direction, which may — bring us back, by easy stages, to first principles. a net will be a bonnet, aud not a head dress, be- ant, it is true, but bearing no trace of its crowns are round, oval and cap shaped, such yr ceays oa that words can convey a very feeble icea of their whimsical originality. Mixed Materials are in great demand; straw and ribbon for the fall, and lace and velvet for the winter. The full ruche is still in favor for front trim ming, and feathers, flowers and birds of Paradise for the outside. Fruit bas gone out withthe summer. (t all the gifts of Pomona the grape alone lingers. Eacn season, however, has ite Dyed adornment; and ths fact is not lost sight ef by modistes of retlaed taste. Agiance at the trimmings of a hat will at onco indicate ‘the eeneon for which it is intended. Summer fruits and Celicate spritg blossoms would now be out of place, and consequently we bave instead gorgeous autumnal dowers ond exquisite exotics. The favorite colors are brown and beaver, but all shades are worn, and every complexion, trom the delicate blonde to the lowing brunette, can tind the hue that becomes it bert. fe endeavor to describe a few bate that attracted most attention, tuough it is heenpoowen dificult to make a selection from the confused mass of lovely forms that everywhere met the view—some winning admiration by their quiet beauty, otbers challenging attention by their odd but distingue style. Conspicuous among latter was the “ Cha- a Catalan,’ formed of lace, barred with biue eatin. crown is oval, and formed of a thick cord. ing of blue satin rolling round acentre, To the crown are attached two {els of the most dolicate blonde lace, which effectually conceal every vestige of the bonnet shape, and looks like a cap flung with happy careless- bess on the back of the head. Around the front rua blue ostrich feather, which, drooping considerabiy, im- parts # graceful fulness to the sides. Inside trimmings, ruche, and on one side a bunch of roses. Another opera or carri bat, more in accordance with the prevailing mode, and more beautiful, though leas striking, than the precedirg. was exhibited at the same establishment. The material was pink uncut velvet, and it was trimmed with bionc e, and Crore fringe made of maradout feathers. {t is light as }, Solt as mist, and forms a leome addition to our stock of trimmit ppearance ia further heightened by specks that le it, like motes in specks being asten| or knots necessary to make the fringe the required length.

The = pepe which takes ite _—" — = vd our Let clase medisies, is a very pretty Paris simply elegan and unmistakeably novel. It is formed of the dinest lutia straw, sewed with biack silk, great regard being paid to the regularity of the stitches. Round the edges of the crown, the cape and the frovt runs a band of open work two or three inches wide, formed by the black velvet and straw interlacing diamondwise.

Two half handkerchiefé of black vel- Vet, trimmed with « chainwork fringe of bugles, are fasten ed to the front of the bat, and, diverging, slope down tothe side crown.

We have scen @ very bandsom@hat made of royal ey satin, banded with black veivef, edged with blonde, front thin and trapeparent, and the crown of chequered satin and vel- vet.

There is nothing new inthe way of head dresses, but there are some very pretty combinations in the old style, Flowers of all shapes and sizes, mixed with velvet or ribbom, maintain their hold on public favor, so do those made of black velvet, embrovlered with straw. But for feather coiffure made of mara bout feathers, white as snow and soft as down,” are pecu- Karly fitted, as are also those tipped with gold. DRESRES. We have nothing strikingly new in thie department, ‘The skirts are ag full as ever, the flounces as popular and as varied in pattern and size aa in the lighter materials of the past season. Basques are and will be as univer: sally worn as ever, the skirts longer and fuller, and the sleeves of every style, from the plain flowing sleeve up through many gradations to the manche bowillowned, Indeed, in this particular, even those who bow with the most reverential submission to the dicates of fashion, be they ever so absurd, will have ample roomand verge ¢ wpusual luxury of a choice.

Staxves.—The plain tlowing sleeve, which bas been im favor for an age, according to the chronology of fashion, we still occasiovelly get a glimpse of, and it forms the foundation of maay of our newest styles.

The gored skirt forsooth, that has been only a tradition to the present generation, will become a tangi- ble reality if our dressmakers have not the taste aad the determination resolutely to reject all such ungracefat and outré styles. Though we aro in to France for many exquisite fashions, are we vnresistingly to receive all her absurdities ? Cannot we separate the chaff from the wheat, and not “ to the magic of a name surrender judgment hoodwinked?” BALL DRESSES. We have seen some very elegant bal! dresses for the coming season, in silk, lace, muslin, berage aad moire antique. The last named material is very property re- served for elderly ladies. A very charming novelty isa ball dress of black lace, with three flounces, the akirt aad ‘the flounces lined with blue glace silk; the corsage, low and slightly pointed, is made of blue silk, over which is worn & medallion berthe of black with a bow and two long floating ends of blue ribbon in front.

We have seen amber silk lining, which looked eq) beautiful. Another and simpler one is made of the fh India muslin, with a double skirt. Over the skirts runs a bowillonneé, through which The corsage is low and gathered full to the waist. A eash of lilac ribbon falling in long ends in front is the only ornament. The sleeves are poffed, and trimmed lilac ribbon and edged witn a fall of lace. flowers in the hair, g MANTILLAS. We have some very pretty styles of cloaks and maa- ‘Hllas on «xhibition this opening.
