REMARKS BY AMR. PIRRCE, OF MASSACHUSETTS, Mr. Pisnce said:—Mr, President and gentlemen of the Convention, | desire to move an amendment to the platform whieh has been olfered and to make a tew 1 move to sirike out what appears upon the eleventh page in (Appiause.) The republican purty im this Centennial yeur is twent years old and meets to-day for the sixth time in n Vonal Couvention, and this is the first time in sil that long period thavany attempt has been made to put into a platiorm a discrimination of ra (<heers.). In 1863, on the prairies of Hinois, Abraham Linools met nis great aniagouist on this ‘ground. hat nowhere in the Declaration of Independence had that doctrine been contined to the Caucasian to the exclusion of tho Atrican, Mongolian or other races.” I denounce, therefore, that reavlution as a departure trom the life’ and memory of Abraham Lincoln; denounce it us a departure from every republican plat- form adopted by every Republican National Couven- tion; 1 denounce it asa vio'ation of the principles of the Dectaratiun of independence; I denounce it as con- trary to the great law of Christian life which strictly Gentile, and therefore move this amendment. | will not accept this resolucion; itis not my doctrine; it is not the docirine of New England; not a member trom New England voted for it, and the ouly Affican on our committce recorded his vote against it Governor AXTILL, Ot New Mexico, mm relation to the proposed amendment, said :—I desire, the patience of the Convention tor about one or two words, The re- publicans of tho Pacilic slope—in tact all persons, irre- spective of party—desire that Congress shall investi vate the question of Mongolian or Chinese immigra- tion. There js no other action called tor by the resolu- tion but simply to investigate that, It is claimed by those best informed upon this subject that this immi- gration 1s not in good (aich, that it 1s, in fact, au impor- {ation of coolies and slaves; that it 13 an importation of labor hired in China at’ the prices paid there, we wil suppose at $4 a month, with contracts running three or four years under the coolie system; that they come under the pretence of unmigration to this coun. try, and by their perseveranee in their customs, by their pagan and filthy habits degrade American labor, (Cheers.) We bave asked Congress to investigate the subject. We ask that the great republican Lowy 4 that has always becn opposed to servile labor, that has al- Ways boc opposed to the siave irate, should investi- gate this subject; that the time has come for this step to be tuken, and we trust that this simple request for an investigation from brethren on the Pacific slope will be acee: to Senator Joys, of Nevada, said:—GxxtLewes oF THR Coyvextion—Atier so long and tedious a session I do not propose to occupy the attention of this Convention but a very few moments on this question, Tue ques- tion is ove of the greatost importance, not only to our | citizens generally, with regard to the morals of the | community, but to our laborers and the ward they all yet for ther labor.

These Chinamen can work for ten cents a day, perhaps, and successiully compete with American la- borers, who raise famihes and who when the country is in danger plage themselves in the frontot battle. In these resolutions offered here, aud to which no oppost- tion has been made, I find ope with relation to the tard? that the datics on imports shall be vo high that the rights of the American laborer shall be proiected, and that he shall as high wages as {1 is possible for him io receive, I have ao doubt thatthe gentle who addresses you im favor of tuat resolution, opposing and travers ug | tho resolutions submitted by the committee, is | favor of these imposts or tariffs for the protection oi the American laborer, That is to say, he is in favor of \mposing a tari upon the introduction of goods or | manulactures from abroad under the pretence that | the American lalorer will be protected, bat he shows himeelf to be in favor of an uniimited and free impor- tation of the Covlie semi-siave laborers to compete | with tho honest American laborers of the Vacitic Coast. | (Applause.) This resolution asks for nothing but this, | that this Convention calls Congress to appotut a | committce to ior itself so that it shail know | a8 much about this question as those who live on that | side of the country, and have been subjected to ail of its horrors. All {i aska is that Congress shall Investi- gate, and if nothing shall be necessary then, of course, nothing will be done, aud i hope no sertous ition to the passage of the resolution as offered by com- mittee.

BLAINE. Upon the close of Mr, Dana’s speech Colonel Robert Ingersoll, of Llincts, appeared upon the platform, and as it was understood that he was to nominate Blaine the triends of the latter geatloman broke out into a storm of cheers, which was continued for several min- utes and closed with three cheers for ‘the man from Maine.” When the tumult had subsided Colonel In- GERSOLL spoke a3 follows: Massachusetts may be satisfied with the loyalty of Benjamin H, Bristow; ao am I (applause); but if any man nomtuated by this Convention cannot carry the State of Massachusetta I am not satisfied with tho loy- alty of that State, (Cheers, applause, laughter.) If the nominee of this Convention cannot carry the grand old Commonwealth of Massachusetts by 75,000 majority, I would advise them to sell out Fanuet! Hall as a democratic headquarters.

He gave his own State, so says an aged and learned doctor of divinity of Mate, to that party, and forever, I expect, buried democracy in that sicred soil; it will nover liftsts head there again. 1 trust he ortoinated the Fourtecath ameadment, He stood by Lincoln durtog the trial which the country was passing fof freedom and justice to mankind, and to chase out of t rgents who lifted their im- still floats in ono thing IL the represen- like about Mr. He is no dead fossil; he is nottied down to any old constitutional barriers that shut out a class and parcel oi God's hamanity and tetters and binds him to a set of orimcipies that aro antiquated.

Coavention, With some of the friends of Mr. Blaine this feeling amounts to exasperation, especially as the adjournment this afternoon without a ballot of auy kind is regarded ase “black eye fot the ex-Speaker.’* Tho impression ie Growing that if Hayes will not accept the second place with Blaine, but will stand out.for first place, he wild be able to defeat Biaine for the nomination. ‘MR. BLAIXE’S URALTH, ‘Mr. Blaine has recovered his strength so far that he may be able to take bis seat in the House at the open- ing of the session to-morrow. It was expected by some that he would present himaclf on the floor to- day, but if any such intention were entertamed he was doubtless discouraged, if mot forbidden, by bis phy: siclans. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. ‘The greatost possible interest and no little anxiety have been expressed here to-day concerning the pro- ceedings of the Cincinnati Convention. Only nominal attention was paid to anything else at the Capitol, where, as well as at the newspaper and telegraph offices throughout the city, bulictins were posted aad eagerly fead by constantly increasing crowds from an early hour until news came of the Convention’s adjourn ment.

Calculations as to the dna! result were for some time made upon it and excitedly discussed, but the deception was soon de- tected. . An extraordinary number of private telegrams have Been roceived here throughout tho day and eventog. President Grant, Secretary Bristow and Mr, Blaine were constantly advised by their respective friends in Cincionati, and Mr. Blaine has been kept especially busy by tho telegraph instrument through which mes- Sages are brought direct to his library, He also re- ceived many callers throughout the day, and has this evening cheerfully discussed the situation with @ con- siderabie number of his personal friends, The first news of the adjournment of the Convention without balloting waa received with great elation by friends of the candidates opposed to Mr. Blaine and caused gome uneasiness among the supporters of the latter, but subsequent information received through the press despatches, that the adjournment was unant- mously agreod toat Mr. Fryo’s suggestion, because tne Convention hall could not bo lighted, removed the false impressions which had previously been created by this occurrence. Speculations as to the final result to morrow, therefore, continue to be widely different.

Wasuixetox, June 15, 1876, A friend of Secretary Bristow in this city has re ceived a telegram from Cincinnati asking whether Secretary Bristow would take the second place on the ticket. This telegram having been shown to the Secre- tary, he said as hedid not hanker after tho first he would under no circumstances accept the second. Seo- retary Bristow was at his office this morning and re- ceived many callers.
