The Convention assembled at 9 o'clock, in the Universalist Church, in St. Paul's street. Mr. King, of Alabama, from the com- j rnittce appointed yesterday, to nominate officers to preside over the deliberations of the Convention, pnd to prepare rules for its adoption, for its government, reported that they had ghen to the subjects committed to their charge the conidetation which their importance had elcmmded, and reported the name ol Genl. Robert Lucas, of Ohio, for Presi dent, which nomination was unanimousJy concurred in. Genl. Lucas not being present, it was, on motion, resolved, that a committee of three members be appointed to wait upon him, inform him ot his election, and request Im immediate attendance. Messrs, Clayton, of Georgia, Murphy, of Ohio, and Dradley, of Vermont, were accordingly appointed the committee, who having returned, conducted the President to th: chair, whereupon, he addressed the Convention, in strong and feeling 'terms, expressing his deep sensibility for the honour which had been conferred upon him in selecting him to preside over the deliberations of a body so honoTable, and influenced by such pa'rio ic entiments as have always characterized he party to which they arc attached, whose object is to preserve the pure principles ot republicanism, and to secure to the people tne tree anu unmilu-, enced eoiovmcnt of their im-hts and nri. rutvu enjo) mem oi uie-ir in0iua anu priVi ere I ' i 1T , , . . r , ; He adverted to the importance of the i - . . . . . . occasion winch had called them together, and the propriety of sacrificing a.! per-i ,ona. eeuns and local preferences, for

Mr. King proceeded with the report,

which iccowmcnded the apLoiniment of four Vice-Presidents, which rccommtndation bcif unanimously concurred in, he named the following persons as proposed bj the committee, artel the ejues tion having severally been put upon their appointment, they were all unanimously approved of, viz: Peter V. Daniel, ol Va. 1st Vice President. James Fenner, of Rhode Island, 3nd Vice President. John M. Barkley, of Pcnn. 3rd VicePresident. A. S. Clayton, of Geo. 4th Vice-President. The committee recommended also the j appointment of three Secietai ies, which was unanimously agreed to, when the following names were tead as pioposed by the committee, and were unanimously approved ol. viz: John A. Dix, of New-York, Stacy G Potis, of NewJcisey, Kubeil J. Ward, of Kentucky, Secretaries. T. e committee reported the following resolution: Resolved That each State be entitled, in the nomination to be made of a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, to a number of voters equal to the number to which they will be entitled in the 1 Electoral Colleges, under the new an Uut upon the subject of the Vice Presidency a dillerence ot opinion prevailed, a number of distinguished citizens having been named for the oftice, each of whom had their particular friends by whom they were preferred. This being the case, he observed, it was important that a course should be pursued the most unlikely to give rise to objection; and as the whole of the States were represented in this Convention, and it would give to each a weight in the no mination proportioned to the extent of their interests, and would acco-d with the general feelir.gs of the people, he tho't the basis of the ratio under which the election is to be made, would be the most proper Upon which to place that of mc nomination. Ana, as a nomination made by two thirds of the whole body of the representatives of the people, would show a more general concurrence of sentiment in favour of a particular individual, would carry with it a grt ater moI ral weight, and be more favourably re ceived, than one made by a smaller number, he hoped the resolution would be adopted. Mr. Pollard objected to the proposition for two thirds, as inconsistent with the fundamental principles upon which our government is founded, which pro vide that the will of the majority shall prevail; and because it might possibly be found to be impracticable to unite the voices of so large a proportion in favour of any one individual; and moved, ac cofditg!y, that a majoiity should be subBUlulcd for two thirds. The amendment was, however, rejected, and the original resolution carried. The other resolutions of the committee were as follows: Resolved, That in taking the vote the majority of the Delegates fiom each Stale designate the person by whom the votes for that State shall be given. Resolved, Th3t the meetings of the Convention be opened by prayer, and that the Reverend Clergy of this city be respectfully invited to perform the duty. Mr. King stated that with the pormission of the Convention, a farther report would be made by the committee, and asked leave for them to sit again, which was granted. The Convention took a recess till 12 o'clock. 12 o'clock The Convention met pursuant to adjournment. In accordance with the last resolution, adopted this morning, the meeting was opened with prayer by the Reverend Mr. Skinner. The committee appointed to wait on the venerable Charles Carroll of Carroiltcn, reported that they had perform . ......... i

Columbia, said ,ha, he felt constrained to ! different proiuion. He was perfectly

! considered that this was not a question

upon the passatre of any law, or the elec j lion of any man tooflict; but was merely recommendatory, and he conceived that they should be permitted to join in rec-

Delegates had, he remarked, been admitted fiom States which in all probability would not give their support to the ticket of the party. As a matter of expediency he said that some consideration was due to the zeal and efficiency with which the cause had been supported, by citi -

zens oi me District in the cnty way in , f. uix; eiv Jersey, Alexander w uriz; their power, and it had been usual, in Pennsylvania, Anthony Laussatt; Dela t other conventions to admit delegates : ware, i t Cummins; Maryland, John '1' from the Distiict to a participation in'Rtcs; Virginia, Wm S Archei ; .Yori'i their measures, and he thought it would Carolina.

stance. It was remarked by a member whose name we did not hear, that the vote of that District could not be presumed to be likely to c fleet the general result; that they were as much entitled to participate in the proceedings of the convention as the delegates from non-efTective States; that the committee had agreed to recom mend that two-thirds should be necesary to make a choice, to provide against any objection which might arise against it from the fact of it h being in part made by delegates from States which might not give their votes lor the ticket of the party wherefore he moved that the delegates from tho District of Columbia be entitled o one vote. aMt. Lausatte explained the giounds upon which the rule which had been a dopted was fourdtd No rule cculd be fixed upon which would not appear to operate oppressively and unjustly upon some; and that the cne agreed upon was founded upon correct general principles, and admitted of no substantial objection. He admitted the zeal and ability with which citizens in the District of Colum bia had given their aid to the cause, and felt for the situation in which they were placed, but could not consent to give up a correct general principle, because it might in some instances appear to oper ate oppressively upon a few. Upon taking the question, 12G membets voted in the aRjemative, and 153 in the negative. It was consequently lost The Committee on ules ?nd regulations reported the following additional resolution: Rtsolvtd, That the candidate for the Vice Presidency shall be designated by the bai lot or ballots of the person or persons selected for this purpose, by the re : spective delegations without nomination in Convention and that if a choice is not had upon the first ballotting. the respec tivc delegation shall retire and prepare for a second ballotting, and continue this mode of voting, until a selection is made. Which resolution was adopted. On motion, it was resolved unanimous ly, that the Convention now proceed to ballot for the nomination of a Candidate for the Vice Presidency. Whereupon the several delegations proceeded to deposite their ballots at the Secretaiy's table and ihe balloting having been concluded, it appeared upon count that MARTIN VAN BUR FN had leceived the following vote.: From Connecticut 8 votes; Illinois 2; Ohio 21; Tennessee 1 5; Nrth Carolina 9; Georgia I 1; Louisiana 5; Pennsylvania 30; Mary land 7; New Jersey 8; Mississippi 4; Rhode Island 4; Maine 10; Massaehti setts U; Delaware 3; N Hampshire 7; New York 42; Vermont 7; Alabama 1 being in all 203. That Richard M. Johnson had received the following voteb: From Illinois 2; votes; Indiana 9; Kentucky 15 being in ail 26 votes. That Phi ip P. Barbour had received the following votes: From North Caro Una 6 votes; Virginia 23; Maryland 3; South Carolina 1 1; and Alabama 6 votes being in the whole 49 votes It appearing therefore, that Martin Van Buren, had received a majority ot more than two-thirds of all the votes given he was declared to be selected as the candidate nominated by this convention for the Vice presidency. On motion of Sir. Archer, of Virginia, the Convention then adjourned to meet again at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Four o'clock, P. M. The Convention met pursuant to adjournment. Mr. AnciiFit, of Virginia, presented to ihe Convention the following resolution, which had been adopted by the delegation of that State, during the recess, and ashed tht it might be put upon the records of tho Covcntion. viz: Ordered, unanimously, That the same j cw Votk, Ins received, upon the first! ballot, more than two thirds of all the votes civen, for the pi.rpote nf seiectini; a candidate for lhe Vice Presidency of the Uni'ed States therefore.
