DoxelsoX. of Tennessee, for President and-Vice Presidentof these United Slates, because wo believe them to hq honoat men, devoted to the Constitution and the Union, and faithful to those national and conservative principles, upon which alone they can -be perpetuated. liesoived, That the administrat ion, of Millard Fillmore, during his Presidential turm \vas ebudneted upon Vo eh national principles ns to furnish the beat and.safest guarantee to.the. country. that, if again elected, he will giyo}(.cpunlenancc; to no movement of .any parly, or from.any par-' ty that shall; uot-teok to, the welfare and prosperity of; thejwhol0;Union. : *'; ■ liesoived, That we : are .nnwilling lo engage in any more sectional contest-for the Presidency and Vico Presidency, because in our opinion such contests are calculated to weaken the bonds of the Union, alienate one section of it from . the other, and sow those seeds of discord which may’ in the end endanger its integrity and existence. . . . ' Resokcd, That as contra-distinguished from a sectional, wo desire to see an American administration conducted by a President whose patriotism is broad enough to embrace all the great interests of the wholo country, without regard to-geo-graphical lines.

A“ SCENE OF FURIOfS-ENTHUSIASM.
A scene of JndeHcribablo cbnfuribn cm sued. Cries - of yes and. no, ho. never, wore miugleil with bisecs aud groans, — Deafening huzzas for Fillmore rent the very dome of ihc Capitol. ■ A. series:of cross firing in excited chlloqtre between opposing members of the Cob vent ion lollowed. ‘'Will you vote for Buchanan?” •savs one.“No; never!” shouted the entire mass. '.'Ayill yon not help to defeat Mm, by voting for Frcuibnl?” says Ray, • 'Never, never, never, mover” ’ yelled thb delegates till thoy were hoarse. ."Fillmore against the world—-now and all the time!” Then lollbwcd another succession of vehement huzzas for Fillmore. The scene was exciting to a maddening degree. Enthusiasm seemed' to have attained its utmost tension. Ray, however, maintained the table up* on which he leaped, to 'command the crowd. Tho Convention cried "down; down, down.” "You’re out of order;” "you're a Iroitor,” dtc. *Ray, however, finally managed to bo hoard by many, in the midst of the confusion, but it was apparent that outside pressure bad played out allita trumps. Roy got down and was followed by one of the "hard-fisted” boys, who commenced a regular tirade npon Bill Sheets and his brother schemers. "Bill Sheets is at the bottom of this,” said he, "Bill Sheets, one of tho Benedict Arnold’s o( tho American party is at work. Wo’vo got at his plans and wo are going to catch him in tho door.” Hereupon tho Chairman called him to , order, and in a fow momenta suoccecdod in restoring quiet Henceforward matters proceeded calmly, when ' R.
