Wasmivotow, May 3, 1860. ‘Whe latter is right on the tari, which his great speech in ‘Fapeuil Ball during the financial crisis of 1857 will show. ‘The American Convention to be holden at Baltimore on {the %th inst. will probably be postponed, as the leaders find the responsibility of taking the tnitietive steps in no- ‘misating which ‘# suddenly thrown upon them, greater than they desire to assume. Mr. Etheridge asserted to- day that he should urge its postponement until after the other nominations are made. I learn that Senator Thompson, of New Jersey, gave it ‘na his opinion to-day that the democratic Convention ‘would not be holden on the 18th of Jane. An effort will be made to induce the republicans and democrats to spice their platforms with squatter sove- Feignty to catch anti-Lecompton votes and absorb Douglas Sellowers, bat the republicans, ] am satisfied, will never eeusent to such « proposition. The sction of the two great Conventions of 1852, in both endorsing the compro- gaizes, will be cited in favor of the proposition. Cuanuasron, May 3, 1860. ‘Me Convention reassembled this morning. Mr. Rosset, of Virginia, made an explanation with re- ard to the Tennessee compromise resotution, and offer ed a resolution that when this Convention adjourn to-day {t adjourn to meet at Baltimore on the 18th of June. ‘A Duucars from Tennessee moved to strike out Balti- more and insert Patladelphis. ‘The confusion and excitement wore so great that it was Giffieult to hear anything that was enid. Mr. Masow, Of Kentucky, raised @ point of order, that bho resolution must lie over one day. ‘The Pamsvert decided the resolution in order, except fixing the place of reassembling, if the pending order for Mr, Raxpatt moved as an amesdment to insert “‘Phila- éetphia and the Fourth day of July.” Mr, Loptow moved to inert “New York.” Motion re ‘A vote was taken on the substitation of Philadelpata for Paltimore, apd rajected—ayee 88, nays 104, The resolution to meet in Baliiahoré wai adopted by |myen 196, noes 65.

Bayard, but hefyielded to the wish of -othere te forego ex- ‘pressing any preference at this time. Mr. Burrows withdrew his proposition. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, moved that the Convention adjourn sine die. Mr. Hit, of Georgia, stated that if the object was to make this a disunion movement, he and his colleagues ‘were prepared to leaveat once. His constituents would ‘approve of nothing that would tend to disunion. =| ‘Mr. Yanosy asked who he alluded to as favoring dis- ‘union. Mr. Hm asked to be excused from answering. Mr. Yancry demanded an answer, as he wanted it to go to the country that there had been no word or deed tending to @ dissolution of the Union. Mr. Hr admitted that nothing had been said or done, ‘but the position we would be put in by this action would make us a disunion combination. Our attitade will be a disunion attitude. Mr. Musx, of Alabama, had always been a Union man, and was so still, if the constitutional rights of the South were respected. A Deacars from South Carolina denied that there had- ‘been any disunion sentiment here. He thought the course proposed, of disbanding, was a singuiarone. We were about separating without recommending or taking aay action with regard to the Presidency. He therefore Moveg that, should the Baltimore Convention repudiate the resolutions passed here, a committee be authorized to call a National Convention. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, thought this no time to cry “Union,” “Union.” There was no man in Georgia who would shout for Union at the expense of the rights of the South. (Shouts of applause.) Whenthe rights of the South are sacrificed to the North, I am for Mberty first, and Union afterwards. (Cheers.) If there be nobody here to stand by me, I must quit the South. Mr. Waray, of Delaware, moved to lay the resolutions of Mr. Meek, ot Alabama, on the table, and adjourn. Mr. Musx, of Alabama, appealed to Mr. Whitely to him to be devoted to the Union at the expense of Southern where if we think proper? Mr. Barry continued, hat the platform may be opened at Baltimore, or it may be changed to meet our views. 1 think we are delegates to that Convention, and that we ought to go to Baltimore. If our constituents choose to fill our places with other delegates they can do so. We are as yet, however, still members of tha! Convention, and no one excep! our con: stituents can take our crodestials from us. Therefore, he hoped the course he urged would be adopted. ‘The Presivayt—Oh no, that will not do. Mr, Hooxen, of Mismiasipp!, opposed the proposition of | as pn adjunct to thatconvention. Ifwe adjourn without doing anything or saying anything, we will stultify our- selves. If we were to follow them to Baltimore we would Jone all the moral effect of this movement. Make your | nominations now manfully and boldly. He was for ation. ‘We are bere for an object and ® purpose, and if we go pome without action we will merely be annunciating s sen tment on which there is no difference of opinion in all the Southern States.
