Wheeler, ol riortn caronoa, out-reo. in louowing resolution t Resolved, That a committee of one from esch State, "except those States whose delegates are in contruveisy,"be appointed by the delegate from that State, to report the uumbrrof delegates iu attendance, aod to examine the validity cf credentials. i Mr. F. II. One, of Georgia, rose and said, that befoie acting ou the resolution just olTered, he desired to propose a subttitute, in conformity with ibe proceedings cf the Convention of 1S44, of which he was a member. Tbe substitute which he proposed w in the words following: Jietolzel, 1 hat a committee be appointed to examine tbe credentials of delegates, and to report to this body the number cf Totes to which each Slat is entitled, and the number aod names t.f the delegates present from each State wbo aie entitled to scats in this Contention. Revolted, further. Thai said Committee be composed of one member fiom each Mate, except in Mate oi rew soia, and of two members from that State; the delegates from each State to appoint oue member of said Committee, and in the case of New York, that each of the two sets of delegates present from that State appoint one member of said committee. Resolved, That (he States be now called for tbe purpose of makio said anpointmtuls. Mr. Toner, of Connecticut, proposed to amend the original resolution by inserting after words "from each State," the words "except those S ates whose delegates are in contiovsrsy, and this amendment was accepted by Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Cone said that tie substitute bad been framed in accordance with tbe practice adopted in 1S44, to meet the unfortunate difference which was known to exist in New Yoik. There were two sets jf delegates from that Slate, and in order that the cumini'tte might be enabled to art undeistand"gly it was pioper one member of each delegation from that State should be appointed. Mr. R. P. Thomson, of New Jcrsej, objected to tbe substitute as calculated to delay the oiganization of tbe Contention for several days. Mr. C. C. Cambrefing.of New York, (Barnburner) was opposed to allowing any committee to decide tbe claims of the New Yoik delegates. II desired tbest claims to be determined by the Convention, and hoped the gentleman from Georgia would so modify bi substitute as to peimil the Convention first to be organized. Mr. Cone had no-particular objection, but it appeared to him that the New York difficulty should be settled before proceeding to the choice of pcimanetit officers. "Mr. Dickinson, of New Yoik, fOld Hunker,) believed that the resolution of the gentleman from Geoigia, would answer all purpofes necessary. It raied no inviduous distinctions, but treated both paities with equal consnleiation. He thanked that gentleman for bringing it forward, and hoped it woulJ be adopted. The delegatiou with which be was connected would be satisfied. Mr. Hanoe'an, of Indiana, said 11 had come together in the spirit of harmony, and be hoped no other feeling would prevail. Bo( in all deliberative bodies it was necessary that they should bar some rules fur their government He therefoie moved to lay both the resolution and the substitute on the table for the present, with a view to lb adoption of ibe rules of tbe House of Representatives of the Uuited States. Mr. Hallett, of Boston, said they were not the Hons of Representatives, but tbe representatives of tbe people the ni sei res. After some further conversation, between Mr. Cone alU 1 Mr. Hanncgan, the resolution and Substitute were for the present laid oh. tbe table, to enable the latter to offer the following t : Resolved, That each delegate present, and every person claiming to be a delegate, shalfllge himself to suppoit the nominees of this Convention, aod to use all honorable and jut means to secure their election. Mr. Preston King, of New Yoik, (Barnburner,) said that i'.was the first doty of the Convention to organize. He was informed that the seats of the delegation of which he was a member wer contested. He believed that the seat he occupied was legally held by biro, but be had declined voting, . . . . " .-, .1.-. .: j.-: 1 "i I ana snou.a so continue 10 oo on,,, u' Air. Cone Said thai tney couia aaopi no ruies onui mey : knew who were tbe delegates by which those rule war to be so adopted who entitled to act wbo entitled to vote. When tbat was decided, tbey would b ready to go into Couversnn, ana not oetoie. MNi'arcey.of Alabama, moved to lay Mr. Hanoegan's retention on the table. Cariied. Mr. Yancey then moved that. the original resolution and substitute of Mr. Cone be taken fiom Ibe table and again read, and tbey wer taken tip and read accordingly. Mr. Drake, of Cbio, refeired to New York as tbe greatest Stat in the Union, and to the importance ibat ibe should have her full weuht in the Convention. It was necessary, ! however, is his opinion, that the question as to which set is !

entitled to their seats should be first tettled. Th. delegates , a"w'"S 4UUU mvv"urwt from Ohio desired tut one vote each in the committee,! At the conclusion of bis address. Mr. Hannegan made a and he presumed such waa th case with the New York : powerful and eloquent appeal to the two divisions or th delegation. : H hoped that the Convention would lock upon j Nw York Democracy to bury their animosities for the good New York without regard to ber numerical strength, and un-; of their country, their parly, nd their principles. Come, til Ibis questiou was decided, that neither set should be al- said the speaker, come, "as Hannibal was brought to the allowed a representation. He proposed a resolution to exclude ! " of bis country ;M come, and lay down all your animosities both sets from the light to be represented in the committee, , d petty disputes on the altar of your country, and join with

upon which the Chair put the question, in the miUsl oi much confusion, and dcclaied it to be carried. Mr. Cambreling insitei that be had the floor before th questiou was put, and desired to be heard before it was decided. Tbe chair said it was now too late. Mr. Preston King appealed from the decision of tbe chair, but withdrew tb appeal to allow Mr. Yaucey to move a reconsideration. Mr. Toucey said there would fee no difficulty about tht proposition. The gentleman from Ohio bad proposed a resolution, upon which, by mistake, the question had been taken without allowing any oue an opportunity to make an amendment. It was tUeiefore proper tbat tht vote should be reconsidered. After some further remarks from Messrs. Rantoul, Yancey nd Hanoegan, in the course of which tbe latter observed tbat the Utica dclcgatit desiird to be beard before the Convention, the vol was reconsideied, and Mr. Yancey proposed an amendment to the substitute, which was accepted by Mr. Cone. Mr. Wheeler proposed to accept tbt substitute of Mr. Cone as a modification of his resolalion. Mr. Baley made a few remarks as to the order in which amendments ahould Lt considered, and insisted that the amendment of the gentleman fiom Connecticut, (Mr. Toucey) as accepted, waa part of the original resolution. The resolution and tobst itute were again icaJ. ' Mr. TiMen, (t amburner,) desired that (he substitute should be so modified aa to confine tbe investigation and tb. repoit of tbe committee to tbt facts, without tbt expression of any opinion as lo which set it entitled to a seat Aod be moved o to amend. They wished to be heard before the Convention as to validity of their right to represent tht democracy of Htm York. Tbey deemed it proper that the committee shoo,d investigate the facts, but that the Convention shou.d decula cpoo the merits of the case. Mr. Cone thought tint the resolution in its present shape roZZrttcmZnrirrrsr " oeea y in iimis, ni be bad no objection to kTTTWiUjro position as a tanner modification. The genUeroso seemeiT-4ok they were not to be beard by tie Convention. Tbat was a iTTWake. Bat if tbe Convention were lo go into examination of all iH evi dence, thev would bave a long duty t perform r Uar reason, be hoped tbe Convention would decide 0 his tesolotion, as amended. Mr. Pieston Kig had no doubt that the Convention intended to act fairly, and was proceeding to express bit views, when Mr. Cone stated that tbt resolution, as modified, met precisely the views of tbe gentleman from New York, and Mr. King called tbe reading again, and it was read accordingly. Mu Bright, of Indiana, expressed Iht opinion that tht difficulty m!t be satifactrily arranged in a few hours, by lb rfoDiiorv vf tbe resolution, as modified, of the gentlemen fiam Georgia. But if the proposition of tht gentleman from New Yoik, as be understood it, weit adopted, it would lakt ten days. After the report of tbe committee bad been piesenteS, it wontd then b proper for each delegation to be heard before the Convention. He moved lo lay th amendment of Mr. Tilden on the table. Th Chair put the question 00 this motioo, aod it was decided in the afUrmative. Mr. Preston Kin? said the New Yoik c rrttion of which iber. bad not believed it to be the desire or tbe .1.. . . 2..,. am 1 . . . .. -"-endment of his coKeaza. Ad--w Yoik that some M be de-

wonld deci committee Mr. Dickinson desired, in this i on this subject. He had heard nothing of terplots, and believed that the Convention would dsci, perly. It wsi 50 doubt a question of importance to the democratic part, and probably to another party. If admitica, tneir ceiegation would give them their best services: if not, they wonld give them a little more room. The Commit tee's room would be open to 11 iutetested parties. They were willing to submit their claims to the decision of the committee, aud he hoped that then both parlies would bt heatdby the Convention, , Mr. Bright obtained the floor, and moved, the previous question, which was sustained. The substitute of Mr. Cone, ts modified, was agreed to, and the resolution so amended was then adopted, in tbe words following t Resolved, Tbat a committee be appointed to examine the credentials of delegates, and to report to this body the number of votes to which each Stat is otitled, and the number aod names of the delegates present from each State wbo are entitled to seats in Ibis Convention. Resolved further. That said committee be composed of one member from each State, except tbe State of New York, the delegates from each Stale to appoint one member of said commit'ee. Resolved, That the States be now called for the purpose of making the appointments for said committee. A communication was presented from the Jackson Associa tion of Washington city, asking the admission of five delegates from the District of Columbia, lo a seat on the floor, but without the right to vote in tbe Convention. A motion was made to lay tht communication on the table. Mr. Cameron explained, that to comply with tb request would be but an act of courtesy. Th motion to lay 0 the table was negatived, and the communication was referred to th committee on credentials, to comply with the request or not, as they may deem proper. The States were then called, and th following delegates nominated and appointed as the committee on credentials, fcc, as pioTided by tb foregoing resolution 1 Maine, Charles Anttiews New Hampshire, Robert Jennets; Massachusetts, Robert Rantoul, Jr.; Vermont, Levi B.

J Mi. Moses ex pi es ted bis readiness la wilbdtaw from the committee, but the Convention refused to excuse bim. Mr. Reeder, of Penns) Ivania, moved tbat committee of one from each delegation be appointed to report officers for the peimaoeul organization of lb Convention, but a motion to adjourn pievailed, and tbe Convention adjourned to 6 o'clock, P.

Tbe galleiiea wer filled to overflow, but few having room to seat themselves, notwithstanding the excessive beat of tbe weather. ' Tbe Piesident stated that the question pending before tbe Convention at the time of adjournment, was on a motion to appoint a committee of one from each Stale, to report on the proper mode of a permanent oiganization. Tbe question having been called for, the resolution was adopted unanimously. Ou motion, it was resolved that the committee be appointed by the delegates from each State. The Srcieiary then proceeded to call th States, when Mr. Walworth, cf New York, inquired whether New Yoikmild be called, and was answered by the President in the v MiTvvÄlcrth then inquired whether it would not be more in oider tawsit until the committee on the qualification of membeis should report, in order that New York ahould have a voice in the organization of the Convention. The President ie plied that the Convention bad decided to proceed at once to tbe appointment of tbe committee empowered to repoit officers for the permanent organization of the Convention, and directed the cleik to call the States so that . delegates should name the members of the committee. r-v ..n: U C-...

After waiting some tim for th return of the committee nnointed durincT tbe moinin session for examining the cre dentials of members. Senator Hannegan was observed to en- . ter, when he was called upon to address the Convention. !

We have no desire t decide between you in your difficulties, and cannot doubt but that you will relieve tbe Convent, on ny some nappy concession and mutual compromise 01 the dilemma in wnicn it is piacea. Mr. Hanncgan then conclued by reminding tht Convention that Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, was present, who was much more capable than be was of enlightening them on democratic priuciplcs. ' Mr. Yancey having been enthusiastically called on, mountel the Stage, and addiessed the Convention for about) t twenty minutes, in a strain of eloquence that drew forth the most enthusiastic expression of delight fiom the Convention at well as the audience. His anecdotes were most happy, and well told, and caused the best feeling to peivade the Conven- , tion. Ho".. Sam Houston, tht hero of San Jacinto, was then called on to address tbe Convention, and on ascending tbe platform was received with enthusiastic cheeis. He proceered to compare democratic piiuciplct, with the privates professed by their opponents, and to defend and and sustain tbe administration iu ita ourse with tegard to the war. and other matters of general contiovetsy between the two paities. The President pro tern, of the Convention, Hon. J. S. Bryce, r' -uisiana, followed General Houston in a few eloquent . iu support f democracy and democratic piinctples, a gieat and fundamental principles of liberty. The c.. ..lee, however; having retumed, bt dosed his addicts rather abruptly. Gen. Howard of Maryland, rose and informed the Convention, tbat the comnittee on credentials had instructed him to ask to be permitted to leport, in part, and ask leavo to continue in session during the session of tbe Convention, to complete the transaction of tbe business entrusted to tbem. The report, in part, which he wst iDstiucted lo make, gave a list of the delegates rom all the Statea of the IT u ion except New York, aod the committee desired more time to enable then (a report on the qualifications of those claiming to be delegates from tit State. The clerk the , Lroceeded to read tht report, which wss rnerily a lut cf t!; district and Slate delegates from aTT-tW.r'.aiea except "Jew York. " . --., On ti"ws'' reading of the report, in part, ot th committee 1 en -..HätiifTlievoparljvstaken up, for tht action f thi Convention. Mr. Edgerlon, from Ohio, asked, befer the vote Le taken on that report, that the credentials ol the dtlj-alet (rom South Carolina be read to tha Convention. That the question rose before the committee on credential, and that it appeared that he was elected by the Georgetown district, and it. did not appetr further than by hit own declaration, that lie waa empowered to cast the electoral vote of South Carolina in this Convention by tht lftnocratic party of that State. - ?.1r. Yancey, ol Alabama, desired that ths Chair alatt tue iuetkn now before tbt Convention. Mr. Meade, of Virginia, moved that the whole tubject Lo laid on the tablo. . Mr. LJgertnn, of Ohioror the purpose of bringing the subject direct befuro the convention, moved that the Slate of South Carolina be stricken out from tht roll cf delegates, and that Mr. Commander be ntitled lo cast but ono vote, that of the Georgetown district of South Carolina, wliicli alone he is elected to represent. Mr, MeaHe, of Virginia, again moved that the whole 5ul.jcct bl laid on the table. - vinl, of MarvVtnd, :a!P3 liial trie committee ' ; t to I' c Convention, and that - called on to vote,

He cautioned the democracy Iiow they acted on tint question. It waa his opinion, aa well aa that 01 tnnse who had tent lum here, that feouth Carolina nan gone somewhat estray from the democratic fold, and it was his desire to bring her back to the old land-marks. lie wat here to use all proper exertions tor that purpose, lie wns the people's man and the man of the people. lie claimd one vote in tint convention at Ins iindotiotea ngm, but he also believed that he was entitled by all precedent to the whole nine. There was several delegations from olher Suttet lh.at.were not lull, but no one doubted the right r( the delegates present from those Slates to east the full electornl vote to which their States were entitled. He instanced North Carolina and Mississippi, whose delegations were not complete, while other Stales hud more delegates than they were entitled to votes present. As a member of the committee on credentials, he had neither' seen nor liexrd anv credentials read that were more full and comprehensive than Ins own, and he had full confidence that the convention would acknowledge the validity of them. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, called the previous question on the report of the committee on credentials. senator Dnght then rose and claimed that he had not resigned the floor, but had merely given way to the gentleman from South Carolina, in order that he might have an opportunity to make a statement to the convention. He then proceeded, and stated that the present posMion of affairs on the part of South Carolina was most propi tious, and he wat much gratified to see a representative from that Slate in the Convention. He also hoped that no unkindness towards that gentleman should bo con strued from the motion lie was about to make. He was unwilling, however, that he should wield nine votes in this body, and moved as an amendment to the report of the committee on credentials, that 01 r. commander be al lowed tcast but one vote in this convention. Mr. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, niosed that all the re port, except that relative to South Caroline, be adopted, and (hat that be left for the future action of the conven tion. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved tbe previous question on the report ol the committee, aa it stood, giving Mr Commander tlio nine votes. Mr. Benjamin F. Hallett, of Massachusetts, desired to know if the previous question would give nine votes to Air. commander ol South Carolina. The President replied that it would The question was then put on the call for the previous question, and the President decided that the yeas had it. The yeas and nays were then demanded. A motion was then made to adjourn, and rejected. The question then recurred on the call for the yeas and nays. Mr. Cone, of Georgia, stated that the Convention had not yet decided to vote by States, and that the adoption of the report of the committee would not settle the point whether üeneral commander should or not cast the nine votes.. The report was then taken on receiving the report of the committee and decided in tbe affirmative, amid loud applause throughout the house the vote being consider ed as giving; Uen. Commander power to caat the nine votes to which South Carolina is entitled. The commilte on organization asked whether their instructions did or did not include the power to report to the convention rules for itr" government. Mr. Hannegan then asked if the committee on organ! zalion were not prepared to report the officers for tbe or ganization of the Convention Mr. Harralson thought that there was no necessity lor tneir reporting ruies lor tne government ci tne conven tion, as they could at once adopt the rules of the House of Repicacnlative9-tliey wanted no olher rules Mr. Meade, of Va., stated that there wert other and important rules that would be required. Mr. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, stated that he had in his hand a report from the committee on organization, and desired to know whether the convention would receive it. The convention having decided to receive the report Mr. Reeder read the following report, in the absence of Mr. Vrooin, chairman of the committee.

The report of the committee having been accepted, the chairman appointed Mr. Green, "of Massachusetts, Mr. M'Candless, of Pennylvania,and Mr. KaufTman,of Texus, a committee to wait on the Hon. Andrew Stevenson, and inform him tbat he has been elected President of the Convention. It having been ascertained that Mr. Stevenson was not present, the committee asked permission to make their report at 0 o'clock in the morning. . . Notice was given that the committee on credentials, having in charge tbe case of the New York delegates, would meet at the Assembly Rooms, at 8 o'clock in the evening, to proceed with the disposal of tht important duty before them.

Tht Vic Presidents then look their seats on th stage, and in Piesident anuounred to the Convention that the Rev. Mr. Plummer was piesent, and would open its proceedings with an humble petition to the Throne of Grace. The Rev. Mr. Plummer then took Ibe President's desk, and delivered a most appropriate aud eloquent prayer. A lesolution of thanks was tbe moved and adopted, returning thanks to the Hon. Mr. Bryce, for the able and satisfactory manner in which be had presided over the convention during itt pieliminary organization. Mr. Cone, after reference to his remarks of jesterday, in relation to the organization of 4ht convention, tbt adoption of rules, &c, offered a resolution substantially that the delegation from each State shall be entitled to give a number of votes equal to the electoral vote of auch Stat. ' Mr. Yaocey Said theie was not ytt a fully organized eont vention. Our friends from New York, who ar knocking atbe door, wet not yet admitted, and in order that all may have a voice in this convention may participate in its organization he moved to lay the resolutiou on tht table. A delegate from Georgia then rose to a question of order. He desired that in voting upon any question which may aiite iu this convention, the vote should be takeu by States, each Slate to be entiiled to cast tbe number of voles such State is entitled to in tbt electoral college the manner of voting to be determined by the States themselves, without regard lo number of delegates. Mr. Coce wished to modify his resolution by adding tbat "the vote sball bt lasen by States on tht tequest of any oue State." , A member here rose and stated that the gentleman from Georgia always had tbe floor. He seemed to think tbat Mi. C. occupied tht attention of the convention too m Mr. Ksu'msn, of Texas, claimed '.bvlloor, and contended that, according to parliamentary usages, every member bad a tight to speak, if they dssiied to do so, befort tbt member in.m ueoigia was allowed to speac again. Tb modification proposed was read. Mr. Kaufman, who had moved the previous qnestion, in anil ed whether tht previous question would cut off tbt amendment. ; s Th Cbati. sold that would depend upon circumstances. As tbe convention had yet adopted no rules, theie could now bt no previdus question. Mr. Reeder moved to lay the resolution on tbe table, with a view to the adoption f rules. Mr. Yancey advocated bis motion to lay on tht table. Mr. Hallett, of Doston, wished lo inquire whether the adoption of this rult would givt the member fiom South Carolina a power to cast nioe votes. The Chair said tbat was a question rather for the Canvention to decide, af'er the adoulioa of the resolution. Tbe question was then taken ou Mr. Cone's resolution, as modified, and adopted. Mr Morton, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution to mak th rules of tbe Democratic Convention of 1844, th rules of the present Convention. Th reading of th rules was called for by seveial mem bers, aud the chair was about to put Ibe question on rcadiog, when Mr. Morse, of Lonisiana, moved to amend by Insetting (he words, wwith the exception of thut iuIc lequiring a vote of two-tbirds to the nomination of President." ' Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, opposed tb leading of tb rules. ts the reading would consume several hours of tbe tim of tht Convention. Mr. Yancey said he held in his band an authentic copy of the three important rules or tbe convention ot 1314, which three rules he lead. Mr. Yancey contended that every mem ber had an inbeient light, without a vott of tbe convention. to call for the leading of any paper betöre the convention for cons idera lion. Tbt lules were sent to tbt Chair, aod at tbe tequest of Mr. Davis, of Vermont, they were again ttsd, as followst I. They adopted tht roles of Ibe House of Represents' lives so far as applicable, for the government of the Conven tion. - 2. Tbat the delegation of esch Stat shall b entitled to giv th electoral vote of tbe State, and in tbat way either uruted or per capita, as tbe delegates of the seveial States may decide. 3. That two-tbirds of tht whole number of votes shall be necessary to a choice. Tht question was taken on the first tesolution, and it waa adopted. The Chair stated tbat tht second had been superceded by tb adoption of Mr. Cone's resolution. Th question then coming up on th adoption of tbe twothird rale, a member moved (hat lue vote should bt taken by States, accoiduig to tht rule jost adopted. A debate of a desultory character ensued, chiefly as to tht order of proceedings proper al ibis atage in the business of tb Convention. Mr. Solomon, of Alabama, said that bt considered it improper on ibe part of th Convention to tak any action on th two-tbirds ru-le, until after the decision of the Convention in rtfutnct to tht contested stats from the State of New Yoik. That in th present position of the democtatic party it was important that 00 nominations should be mad that would not receive Ihe heaity acquiescence of every section of the party, aud lhat although it might not be cousidted as judicious in bim thus publicly to cxpiess it, b greatly featcd that the nomine of the convention would not b successful if ih vote of New Yoik was cast against us. He advocated further th adoption cf the two-lbiids rule, at important to tht success of iho candidate tbat might be nominated. That after former pi act ice, it would be difScult to rally tb patty for th nomine of a mere majority. Mr. Yancey took a similar view of tht matter. He said let tbem first settle that question, then adopt such rules with tegsrd to tbe manner vf voting for President as a full majority should deem proper, and then, after deciding that point according to the sense of lb convention, if New Yoik did not join with u unanimously in our nominations, why tben w should go on aod give our votes without tbem. Mr. Morse, of Louisiana, did not apprehend lb consequences alluded to by the gentleman fiom Alabama. If tht two-tbiid mle be adopted, what you s aw iu 1844 you will see in 1S43. Some outsider, not acceptable to ih th whole democracy, will be nominated, some Mexican hero, or some other person not thought of, and njt the real choice of the majority of their convention or of t majority of the Tr'y ' li hoped that the question would be examined faiily and fully, and that vox populi, vox dei, would prevail hete. . Mr. F. V. Dowdon, of Alabama, desired ta know if Mr. Po k is an outsider, who he considered as an insider? Five thousand years hence you will hear the democracy shout from the house-tops "JelTerson, Jackson and Polk. ' lie wanted no better democrats than Plk and Dallas, and was now ready as lit was then to sustain Ihe nominees of tht Convention. He would go Imme when the rroceedings of this Convention are terminated, and as in 344, go heart and toul for sustaining th nominations; and he pledged the Stale of Alabama to do tht same. Mr. Hamlin, of Miine, agreed with his friend from Alabama. He came here to settle principles; not to wrangle over personal preferences for men. And tht Stnte of Main, when the question was settled, will present a united and firm front in sustaining the nominees. He knew not who wns alluded lo who were, the out-. siJers whether the chivalrous Butler, the eloquent Allen, of Ohio, or Ihe gallant Worth; but he was ready to abide by the rhnice of either.

How could wt go to New York and say we adopted that rule aolely for Martin Van Buren. If it waa an open question he would vote against it. But he considered it question settled. He did not agree with the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Solomon) in hi view, that we cpuld not elect our President without New York.' lle"believed we could. And he believed, notwithstanding alt their obstinacy, that something would yet bt done to win her bark to duty. But whether so or not, the young stars the young "star' of which the gallant Houston was a representative and her young sister Wisconsin, mutt take her place, and oliiera wliicli have not yet fully at tained their maturity. Dr. Humphreys of Maryltnd, obtained the floor, aud offored the following, aa an amendment or substitute : Resolved, That a majority of all the votes of this con vention, cast in accordance with the electoral vote 0 each State here repiesented, shall ba sufTicient to nominate a candidate for the Presidency and Vice Presidency ; and the individuals receiving such majority shall be declared unanimously nominated for the Presidency and Vice Pres idency ot the United Mates. Dr. Humphrey also referred lo the adoption of the two tlii 1 das rule, and to its application in the present case, to a distinguished statesman, fGen Cass.) to his services at the court of France, his carter as one of the pioneers of the great west, and in the war of 1812. If this two-thirds rule were to be adopted, this outsultr, he understood, was also to be decapitated. . Mr. Meade thought that the gentleman frem Maryland was discussing the merits cf the candidates, and not the merits of the rule. He requested the chair to restrict him to the amendment. The chair decided the gentleman from Maryland to be in order, and Dr. Humphrey pjoceeded with his remark. Before concluding, lie gave way to receive a report ,from the committee on the credentials of tht New York delegations. The member, however, finally declined making the report until the gentleman from Maryland had concluded his remarks. Dr. Humphrey, of Maryland, was again about to proceed, when Mr. Bright asked permission to make a suggestion, which was to lay the whole two-third tubject on the table, until the rulet for the government of the convention were adopted. Mr. Yancey thought that it wat as important that the two-third rule should be adopted as the others. Dr. Humphrey modified his amendment so as to withdraw his proposition tor the present. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, explained ihat'ilie effect of the move now proposed, would be to adopt ihe rules of. the House of Representatives, until the orgnniialion was complete, when the question on the adoption of the twothird rule w-4ildagain come up for consideration. Ilia chair said that the committee had already agreed to two resolutions, and the gentleman Iroqj. Maryland had offered a substitute for the third, which he hSf preferred to withdraw fur the praseat, and had, in lieu thereof, moved that ihe rules already agreed to shall bi adopted by the ConventiohTor their government, until the organization is completed. At this stage of the proceedings, while the president wat yet addressing the convention, a scene of consternation arose, from a crash thought to be from sinking of th gallery oh the south side of the church. Th member under the gallery made their escape out of the windows whilst there was a general rush from the lower part of the church to the doors. Thos in the galleries being wedged together in an almost immovable mass, were generally compelled to retain their position, though a considerable number of the more timid slid down the pillars and gas pipes to the lower floor. In a few moments the president succeeded in calling the convention to order and producing qniet in the galleries. Mr. Reeder, of Pensy Ivania, said that it wat impossible for them to proceed with the business of the convention whilst confusion worse confounded prevailed in the galleries. Mr. Keltlewell, of Baltimore, said he wold inform the gentleman from Pennsylvania, that there was no class of people more orderly than the constituents h had the honor to represent, a portion of whom were now present in the galleries. They had been at orderly and quiet a could he desired, and he thought he could show him that the "confusion worse confounded" did not proceed from the galleries. The chair said that the confusion was on the floor of the Convention and not in the galleries. He begged the gentleman to be sested. Mr. Bay ley said that it had been ascertained that the south eastern corner of the gallery had settled tome two inches, and proposed that a committee should be appointed to examine the gallery. A member proposed that the Convention suspend their proceedings for half an hour, to allow time for and examination of the cause of the consternation. " Mr. Yancey said thatlho Whig Convention of 1644 had occupied this church for their deliberations, and had been permitted by Providence to depart in safety to receive a severe whipping from the democracy of that year, at the ensuing election. He did not believe that Providence would be lees mindful of the Democratic Convention in 1843. He believed there wst no danger to be apprehended whatever. . Mr. Keltlewell made a few remarks on the same subject, and concluded with an appeal to the democracy in that part of Ihe gallery to retire, until the examination could be made. The galleriea were accordingly cleared f as requested " The President then put ' the question on the motion to adjourn for half an hour, and it was decided in the affirmative. The galleriet were then examined, and many cracks in the walls were fojnd, but it was soon ascertained tint tbe crash proceeded from the breaking of the back of one of the pewt. It was deemed advisable by the committee of arrangements net to allow them to be again occupied, and orders were given to have the doors lo the galleries closed during the remainder of to-day's session. The president resumed his seat, and again called the convention toprder, at twenty-five minutes past 12. He Haled llint, to avoid confusion, the galleries would remain closed until evening, when an examination aa to their condition would be made, though he did not think that there had been any good cause for apprehension in regard to them. Mr. Howard, of Maryland, proposed to make a report, in part, from the committee on credentials, but the chair decided. that it would not be in order, until the pending question (the two-thirds rule) wns disposed of. Mr. Yancey referred to the 116tli rule of tht House of Representatives agreed to this morning, as a rule for this Convention, and proposed lo modify the second resolution (that offered hy Mr. Cone aod agreed to) so as to include the rules of the House of Representatives,'-with the exception of the HClh rqle. This amendment w-t agreed to, and then the resolutions so modified, wese't jpted. The president then decided that Dr, lluf. iiiey , of Maryland, was'entilled to the floor, as he had only yielded it for the purpose of adopting rules for government in the proceedings of the Convention. Mr. How ird, of Maryland, urged the right of the committee on-credentials to make their report on the New York delegation case, and moved to lay.llie resolution providing for the adoption of ihe two-thirds rule, on the table. Mr. , contended that the gctitTemati from Maryland (Dr. Humphrey) Itr J not lost his right to the floor by yielding it, and that 'the adoption of the two-thirds rule wns ihe qucslien now legitimately be lore tht "Convention. The chair stated the question now to be, whether the Convention will l.ny on Uta lulle iho consideration of the resolution to adopt'the two thirds rul, Tor the purpose of receiving the report which the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. llowsr ) proposed to malo from the coiumitt-8 on credentials, or whether they will proceod to the cc.;tideratinnof that r-"!ution.

Mr. Thompson, of Pennsylvania, tben raised th point of order that ibis question could riot bt taised while tht cltilc wss reading off Iht votes of the States. Tb chair said ibat aa ih clerk waa reading airapiy wuat a view to th conectioo of a vote, there was no impropriety in making tbt motion at Ibis lim.

He said. also, that he did not know to what tbe gentlemen from Massachusetts referred, when he said he bouowtd some of bis best ssyings from that Slate, but be would say tbat if be bad borrowed from the gentleman himselt be bad bonowea irora a high source. But however tbat might be, be bad never boi lowed his political principles from Massachusetts. Th question was tben taken on Mr. U alle it's resolution. and it was rejected. Tbe reading of th votes of the dilleient Mates having oen concluded, tbt chair decided tbe result to bt: yeas 121; nays 133.
