{, Proposed.New Territories.

The House Committee on Territories huve agreed upon bills for., organizing five new Territories, which will include the entire unorganized region bettveen the Mississippi Valley and the Pacific Slope. Their names are to be Arizona, Nevada. Idaho, Uacotah and Chippewa. The first includes all that portion of territory obtained from Mexico castof the Colorado and its northerly affluent (Virgin river) and west of the lOSth meridian. Its southern boundary will be the Mexican border, and its northern the parallel of 30 deg. 30, separating it from Utah. Arizona will thus fjrm a block nearly square, including most of New Mexico west of the Rocky 1 Mountains, and containing nearly two hundred thousand .square miles. ....

Nevada will comprise all that part'of Utah west of the 114th meridian, beI sides a small triangle between Virgin river and the California State line, and a narrow strip of what was formerly

Oregon Territory, (now Washington.) between the eastern border of that State I and Green river. It will thus contain about 175,00U square miles, and include the now famous Washoe mineral region.

Idaho, signifying Gcm of the Mountains," is the name proposed for the Pike's Peak territory. Its eastern boundary will be the lU2d meridian its western Green river: its southern the 37th, and its northern the 43d parallel of latitude. The Rocky Mountains will form a sort of back-bone, passing nearly along its center. Its extent will be about 150.000 square miles. By

thus'clipping the wings of Utah on both the east and west sidfs, the latter will be left with scarcely one-fourth of its present extent. A narrow strip east of be preserved. Green river will be added to Nebraska.!

Daeotah will include ail the territory west of Minnesota, lying between the 4Uth parallel on the north, and the Missouri river of the south, with its tributary, the Niobrarah, and thence the 43d parallel to the 102 meridian, which will be its western limit. The Missouri river will thus divide it into two sections. "nearly equal in extent.The territory will contain 135,000 square miles.

Theremainingeountry lying between I Nebraska, Daeotah. the Rocky Mountains and the British Possessions, is to be called Chippewa, making an area of 130,000 square miles.

Scientific

Emmos-taZity by a Process. There is an old French comic picture of a machine for rejuvenating human bodies by grinding them over. Bent and wrinkled old men and women are pitched into the hopper and come out at the bottom of the mill, blooming and lively and ready tobegin life afresh. A French savan named Flourens, a member of the academy, has become enthusiastic oYer the idea that the object of the mill can be realized by a scientific process. Putting together the two facts that bones are sometimes renewed by nature where their memhranous covering is left intact, and that l.animals are so cropped that they are made to grow large in those parts of the body which furnish the most valuable beef, as the loin and rump, he infers that the body may be renewed, piece by piece, bone after bone and muscle after muscle, and so be thoroughI Iv rejuvenated. By this operation Mr.

Flourens proposes to remedy bodilydefects, and improve bad forms, and ultimately very much prolong life. But nothing seems to be said about the repair of the internal organs. A man could not very well get along without his old stomach or liver, whilenew ones were growing.

Parson Brounlow Again. The eccentric Parson Brownlow, of the Tennessee Whig, sermonizing in his last paper on "Democratic Stealing," says:

For the life of us we can't see that

Our Seymore cotemporary seems to be a little sulky about the storm, yet we infer that the condition of Rising Sun has.been less pancful since than it was before.—Louisville Journal.

New School General Assembly. PITTSBURG, Ma}7 19.—The General Assembly heard the report of the Church Erection committee this morning. Every application for aid by loan or donation has been granted, and the fund increased to 3109,000,

the stealing of negroes, or property, by the A.bolitionists,is any worne, in a mor- the public treasury by-favored paral point of view, than the stealing of jsangj while the vbcent startling devellarger amounts in money by the Democracy. All the negroes stolen in a year by the Abolitionists, sold at high prices in the South, would not amount to one half of the amount of money stolen from our government by the party in power. There is this redeeming trait in the Democratic ranks. They steal in every custom-house and every port in the Union their forgeries and robberies are in all the land offices, among all the contracts, pension claims and government works going on both North and South they literally know no North, no South, no East, no West! they are one glorious band of robbers, who every where act in con cert, their hopes and aims being on«.

CIIICACJO, May 17.

THE PLATFORM:

Resolved, That we, the delegated representatives of the Republican electors of the United States, in Convention assembled, in the discharge of the duty we owe to our country, unite in the following declarations: 1st. That tlie history of the nation during the last four years, has fully established the propriet}- and necessity of the organization and perpetuation of the Republican part}': and that the causes which called it into existence are permanent in their nature, and now, more than ever before, demand its peaceful and constitutional triumph. 2. That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Federal Constitution, is essential to the preservation of our Republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitution, the Rights of the States, and the Union of the States must and shall

3. That to the Union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in population its surpassing development of material resources, its rapid augmentation of wealth, its happinessat home and its honor abroad and we hold in abhorrenc^all schemes for Disunion, come from whatever source they may: And we congratulate the country that no Republican member of Congress has uttered or countenanced the threats of Disunion so often made by Democratic members, without rebuke and with applause from their political associates and we denounce those threats of disunion, in case of a popular overthrow of their ascendancy as denying the vital principles of a free government, and as an avowal of contemplated treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence. 4. That the maintenance inviolate of "the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgement exclusively, is essential to the balance of powers on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends: and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or'Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of

crimeg. 4^That the present Democratic Administration has far exceeded our worst apprehensions, in its measureless subserviency to the exact ions of a sectional interest, as especially evinced in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Leeompton Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas: in construing tlic personal relation between master and servant -to involve an unqualified property in persons in its attempted enforcement, everywhere, on land and sea, through the intervention of Congress and of the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest and in its general and unvarying abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confiding people. 6. That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades every department of the Federal government that a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable to arrest systematic plunder

opments of f'rduds and corruptions at the Federal Metropolis, show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. 7 That the new dogma, that the Constitution, of its own force, carries slavery into any or all of the Territories of the United States, is a dangerous political heresy, at variance with the express provisions of that instrument itself, with contemporaneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial procidentias- revolutionary in its tend en 03', and subversive of the peace and harmon3r of the country. 8. That the normal condition of all the territory of the United .States is that of freedom: That as our Republican fathers, when the3' had abolished slavery in all our national territoiy, ordained that "no person should be deprived of life, liberty, or property,, without due process of law," it becomes ourduty. b}* legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it and we den}* the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to Slavery in an}' Territory, of tho United States. 9P That we brand the recent reopening of the African Slave-Trade, under tho cover of our National Flag, aided by perversions of judicial power as a crime against, Humanity and a burn

The TJnion, in any event.

ing shame to our County and Age and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic. 10. That'in the recent vetoes, b}r their Federal Governors, of the acts of the Legislatures of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery in those Territories, we find a practical illustration of the boasted Democratic principle of Non-intervention and Popular Sovereignty embodied in the KansasNebraska bill, and a demonstration of the deception & fraud involved therein. 11. That Kansas should, of right, bo immediately admitted as a State under the Constitution recently formed and adopted by iver people, and accepted by the House of Representatives. "W 12. That while providing revenue for the support of general government by duties upon imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to eneouragc the development of the industrial interests of the whole country and we commend that policy of national exchanges, which secures to the working men liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. 13. That we protest against^tJ^ sale or alienation to others of the PllB"-! lie Lands held by actual settlers, and against any views of the Free Homestead policy which regards the settlers as paupers or suppliants for public bounty and we demand the passage by

Congress of the complete and satisfactory Homestead measure which has already passed the House. 14. That the Republican party is opposed to any change in our Naturalization Laws, or'" ah}' State legislation by which the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands, shall be abridged or impaired and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad. 15. Tha' appropriations by Congress for River and Harbor Improvements of a National character, required for the accommodation and security of an ex isting commerce, arc authorized by the Constitution and justified by the obligation of Governineut to protect the lives and yu-opertA-fof^rs citizens. 16. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded by the interests of the whole country that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction and that, as preliminary thereto, a daily Overland Mail should be promptly established. 17. Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles and views, we invite the co-operation of all citizens, however differing on other questions, who substantially agree with us in their affirmance and support.

The Platform, after a slight and immaterial amendment, was adopted unanimously, and with deafening and long continued applause, al\.er which the Convention adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock this (Friday) morning, "when the first thing in order will be the balloting for the Presidential nomineec.

CHICAGO, May 18.

Fully an hour before the Convention assembled this morning, the Wigwam was closely packed. The interest in the proceedings appears to increase as the time for balloting approaches.

Thecrowd outside the building numbered by thousands, remains anxiously awaiting the intelligence from inside.

Arrangements have been made for passing tlie ballot up from the platform to the roof of the building, through the skylight, men being stationed along to curry speedy intelligence to the multitude in the streets.

A largo procession was formed of .the various delegations to march to the hall, preceded by bands of music, New York being by far the most numerous.

As the delegates entered on the platform, the several distinguished men were greeted by rounds of applause by the audience.

The opening prayer was delivered by Rev. Mr. Greene, of the Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Three or four meetings 'arc being held at a distance outside, and during the silence occasioned by the delivery of the prayer, the roars and shouts of these meetings are distinctly heard in the wigwam.

The President, on the opening of the proceedings, begged the audience to refrain as much as yossible from applause, and to preserve as far as consistent the decorum and dignit}r of the meeting.

Tho President announced an invitation for an excursion^over the Chicago and Galena railroad: also a communication from the workingmen ofBrookl}'n, Williamsburg and Greenport, in favor of bestowing government lands on actual settlers, and arresting further sale of the public lands, which were ordered to be entered on the records.

The Presidentannounced the motion pending to take a ballot for President of the United States.

Mr. Blair, of Maryland, announced that in consequence of the adoption, by the Convention, of the rule restricting the vote cast to the number of delegates present, that delegation had last evening filled its miniber, and asked leave to present the credentials of five new delegates to fill the number from that State.

Mr. Sargeant of California, inquired

whether the five additional vrotes now added would increase the vote to sixteen, or leave it at eleven, which was the number of votes assigned to that State by the report of the Committee on Credentials. If at designed, to notecase the vote above eleven,was opposed

it-

Mr. M. F. Cole of Maryland, said that Maryland/Kad'-beien declared entitled to eleveff voles'only, because the necessary ntluiber of delegates for sixteen votps were not present. The delegation had, power, by action of the State Convention, to fill vacancics.— They had now done so, under that authorit}-, and claimed the right to cast the full vote.

The President said he understood the rule adopted in the report of the Committee on Credentials to have restricted Maryland to eleven votes. The additional delegates would not entitle them to a greater number of votes.

Mr. Blair of Maryland desired to correct the error of the Chair. As he understood it, the number was only limited because the delegates were not present. The delegation had a right to fill vacancies, and had done so in consequence of the rule adopted yesterday by the Convention.

Mr. Armour of Maryland protested against the reception of credentials of ^tiew delegates. Eleven representatives only .were present from his State. The delegation had met without his knowledge* aiul without tho knowledge of at least one more delegate, and filled up the number with men who lived, God only knows where. A resident of the State had been refused admission as a delegate, and what object his colleagues had in filling the delegation with non-residents, he did not know.

He hoped the motion to admit the delegates would be voted down. The motion to admit extra delegates was lost, amid applause. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for President of the United States.

Mr. Evarts of New York did not rise for the purpose of making a speech, but only to ask if, at this time, it is in order to put candidates in nomination?

The President.—The Chair considers it in order to name a caudidate without debate.

A delegate from Pennsylvania drew attention to the fact that delegates' seats were occupied by outsiders.

A Voie!v—"Tire- same iiero with Ohio." The President.—This affords the opportunity to the Chair to read to the Convention a communication just received from the door-keepers. The communication stated that delegates, as soon as they got into the hall, passed tieketsoutto their friends. Theofiieers, therefore, found it impossible to prevent the admission of outsiders but the fault rested with the delegates.

The President suggested the only method to ymrsue would be for each delegate to claim his own seat with vigor.

After some dela}*, occasioned by clearing the platform and distributing the ballots, the Convention proceeded to ballot.

Mr. Evarts.—In order of business before this Convention, I beg leave to offer as the name of a candidate before this Convention for nomination for President of the United States, William H. Seward. [Loud and long applause.l

Mr. Judd of Illinois.—Mr. President, I beg leave to offer as a candidate before this Convention for nomination for the Presidency, the name of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. [The applause from the crowded audience here became perfectly deafening, theshoutsswelling into a perfect roar, and being continued for several minutes, the wildest excitement prevailing.]

At the close of the applause some hisses were heard, but the pressure appeared great for Lincoln.

Mr. Dudley of N. J. presented the name of Wm. L.Dayton. [Lightapplause.]

Gov. Reedcr of Pa.—The State of Pennsylvania desires to present as her candidate the name of Simon Cameron of Pa. [Applause.]

Mr. Carter of Ohio put forward the name of Salmon P. Chase of Ohio.— [Loud applause.]

Mr. Smithson of Ind.—I am instructed by the State of Indiana to second the nomination of Abraham Lincoln. [Another outbreak of enthusiastic applause from the body of the hall, mingled with some hisses.]

Mr. Francis P. Blair of Missouri nominated Edward Bates. Mr. Blair of Mich.—On the part of Michigan I desire to say that the Republicans of that State second the nomination of Wm. H. Seward of New York.

Tremendous applause followed, thousands of those present rising, waving their hats and handkerchiefs and swelling the applause to a roar which was followed by some hisses. The friends of Seward evidently rallied and determined not to be outdone in applauseby tho Lincoln men. On this second trial of the lungs it was evident that the crowd was more evenly divided than at first appeared, although the Lincoln men had apparently a majority.

Mr. Thomas Corxvjn, of Ohio, nominated John McLean of Ohio. [Applause.]

Mr. Carl Schurzof Wisconsin, on the part of his State, seconded the nomination of Wm. H. Seward.

The scene of tumultuous excitement was renewed. Mr. North of Minnesota also second

ed, on the part of Minnesota, the nomination of Wm. H. Sewaid [Applaus'e".]""

Mr. Wilder of Kansas—"The delegates and people of Kansas seconded the nomination of Wm. H. Seward."— [Renewed cheers.]

Mr. Delano of Ohio, on the part of a large number of the people of Ohio— "I desire to second the nomination of a man who can split rails and maul democrats—Abraham Lincoln." [Rounds of applause by the Lincoln men.]

A delegate from Iowa also seconded the nomination of Lincoln on the part of that State, amidst renewed excitement and applause.

A voice—"Abe Lincoln has it by the sound, now let us ballot. [Cheers and hisses.

Judge Logan of 111—Mr. President, in order or out of order, I propose that this Convention andaudience give three chccrsfor the man whois evidently the nominee." [Hisses and cries of "No! no!" and "Call the roll!"

The President—"If the Convention will get over this irrepressible excitement, the roll will be called."

After some further excitement, the calling of the roll commenced, the applause at several announcements being with difficulty checked.

When Mary land was called, the chairman of the delegation castthe vote of the State for Bates. Two delegates protested, claiming the right to cast their individual votes.

After some discussion the Convention rejected the vote cast by the chairman, and received the votes of the delegates separately.

The first ballot resulted as follows For Seward, Maine, 10 N. H., l:Mass.. 21 N. Y., 70: Pa.,H Md., 3 Va., 8,! Ky, 5 Mich., 12 Texas, 4 Mo., 10: Iowa, 2 Cal., 8 Minn., 8 Kansas, 6. Nebraska, 2 D. C., 2. Total, 173£.

New York gavs Seward 70 Mass. 22 N. J. 4 Penn. 21i Ky. 7 Texas 6 Nebraska 3. Whole vote for Seward 1844.

Bates, 35 Mc-Lean, 8 Chase, 42i Cameron, 2 Dayton, 10 Cassius M. Clay, 2 no choice.

The third ballot was then taken, amidst excitement and cries of "Ballot."

Intense feeling existed during the ballot, each vote being awaited in breathless silence and expectancy.

Mass. gave Lincoln 8 R. I. 5 N. J. 8 Penn. 52: [applause,] Md. 9 Ky. 13 Ohio 29 [Applause,] Oregon, 4. This gave Lincoln 231£ votes, or li of nomination.

Mr. Carter of Ohio then arose and corrected the vote of Ohio, b}* changing 4 votes and giving them to Lincoln, thus nominating him b3' 2-| majority.

Mr. McCrillis of Me., making himself heard, said: The }'Oung giant of the West is now of an age that Maine casts for him her 16 votes.

Mr. Andrews of Mass., changed the vote of that State, giving 18 to Lincoln and 8 to Seward.

Intelligence of the nomination was now conveyed to the men on the roof of the building who immediately made the outside multitude aware of the result.

The first roar ofconnon soon mingled itself with the cheers of the people, and at the same moment a man appeared in the hall bearing a large painting of Lincoln. The scene at this time beggars all description, 11,000 people inside the building and from 20,000 to 30,000 outside were }-elling and shouting at once the cannon sent forth roar after roar in rapid succession, delegates tore up sticks and boards bearing the names of the several States, and waved them aloft over the heads of the vast multitude, hats and handkerchief's were waving, and the whole scene was one of the wildest enthusiasm.

Mr. Evarts of New York having obtained a hearing, said: "Mr. Chairman, can New York have the silence of the Convention?" [Cries of "Yes, yes."] "I ask if the vote hasyet been announced." [Cries of "not yet. "Then, sir, I await to be in order."

Mr. Brown of Missouri desired to cliangethe 18 votes of Missouri, for tho gallant son of the West, Abraham Lincoln.

Iowa, Connecticut, Kentucky andj Minnesota also changed their votes.— The result of the third ballot was then announced as follows:

Mr. Daytoh received 1 vote from New Jersey, and McLean half a vote from Pennsylvania.

The result was received with renowed applause. When silence was restored, Mr. Wm.

Evarts came fowarcl to the secratary's table and spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho National Conveniion: The State of New York, by full delegation, and with complete unanimity of puapose at home, came to this Convention and presented as its choice, one of its citizens Who had served his State from boyhood up— who had labored for it and loved it.— We came hero a great S:a e, with, a a we thought a great statesman [applause and our love of tho great Republic from which we are all delegates —the great Republic of the American Union—and our love of our statesman and candidate, made us think we did our duty to the country, in expressing our preference and love for him. But, gentlemen, it was from Gov. Seward that most of us learned to love Republican principles and the Republican party. [Cheer?.] His fidelity to tho country, the Constitution and the laws his fidelity to the party and principle that majorities govern his interest in the advancement of our part}-* to its victory, that cur country may rise to its true glory, induces me to declare that I speak his sentiments as I do the united opinion of our delegation, when I move you, sir, as I do now, that the nomination of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois, as the Republican candidato for the suffrages of the whole country for the office of Chief Magistrate of tho American Union, be made unanimous. [Applause, "Three cheers for New York.'] A portrait of Abraham Lincoln, life size, was here exh'bited from tho platform amidst renewed cheers.

Mr. Andrew of Massachusetts, on tho part of the united delegation from that State, seconded the motion of the gentleman from New York, that the nomination be made unanimous. After declaring the devotion of Massachusetts to the principles of freedom and equality, he extolled Gov. Reward at a statesman and patriot, and pledged his State to roll up over one hundred thousand majority, and give thirteen electoral votes to the candidate.

Eloquent speeches, indorsing tho nominee, were also made by Carl Schurz, Blair of Missouri, and Browning of Illinois, all of which breathed a spirit of confidence and enthusiasm.

At tho clo-c, three hearty cheers were given for New York, and the nomination of Lincoln was made unanimous, with loud cheers for Lincoln.

The Convention then adjourned till five P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION.

Convention reassembled at fo'clock. A large number of banners wcro brought on the platform by Pennsylvania, bearing the inscription, "Pennsylvania good for 20,000 majority for the People's candidate for President, Abe Lincoln."
