Afternoon SESSION.
The Convention having been called 10 order.
the President proceeded 10 name the different com
mltees, TO whom had been referred the resolutions
adopted in the morning.
MIR. ChiHn OF Kentucky, said that he had heard
with regret that the grand committee had signIf ed
that they had laid before the ention all the bu-
siness that, IN their opinions they were bound TO
act upon; he believed that there was one of vast
Importance to the agricultural, the manufacturing
and the mercantile interests of the states, which
they had not referred to; be alluded to a uniform
system of bankruptcy, he therefore moved that a
committee Of Eve persons be appointed to draft a
memorial to Congress suggesting the proprety Of a
bankrupt law.
Mr. Carey moved, that the resolution lie on the
table, inasmuch as IL was not connected with the
business uporSybicb they had assembled
MIR. CHM bad been led to believe that the OBJ
jects aud purpose Of the convention were to con-
tribute TO the national wealth, and call into action
the industry and strength of the union; he did not
understand that the business confined to wool
snd Woollens; he felt, and he trusted ell did dis
position to encourage all kinds of industry and en-
enterprise, connected with the prosperity Of the
United States. Our condition, said Mr.. g. is a pc
cuiiar one, not 20 be rated by the examples of o.
Their nations Bankruptcies exist in almost every
class oil the community, and each class would be

that there at this time more shan one hun

The New York Daily Advertiser of wednes-
day says, we yesterday paid second visit TO the
well recently dug in Jacob street and drank of the
water, which we found more palatsble than it was a
few days since. The water is more clear, and has
entirely lost the resinous tary taste, and is more
salt. This well continues 10 attract thousands OF
persons, who are politely waited upon by the in
habiants living in the vicinity Many persons rom
all parts of the city begin to vsi, it with bottles,
jugs, pitchers, sc to carry away the waller. The
interests excited is already very great; groups OF
persons are constantly collected in the vicinity.
discussing The merits of the water and the question
as to whom this well belongs, whether 10 the Cor
poraIion, or 10 those at whose expense il was dug
The conclusion, in ell cases, is that the water
should belong to the citizens large, and that the
Corporation should place the well under such re-.
gulations Ina, all may have free access to it, but
prevented from doing it any injury The wag. in
Jacob street have already named it, by writing up
on the frame work around Z" jacobs IYeH.'

Before closing this address, we will make brie
appeal 10 those among you who voted ior MIR. Ad {.
sus AZ the late election, protesting yourselves at
he same time TO be Democratic Republicans OF the
Jefferson School. We satisfied tina, in doing
so, you influenced by belief that hs poliil-
cal conversion had been thorough and sincere;
and that his euper+or acquir and great po,i-
cal experience, pre-eminently qualified hIm for the

s.lo your opinions these points remain unchanged!
DO you now believe. after the doctrines unblush
ingly avowed IN his lnaugui al and Panama Messa-

Republican of the Jefferson School! Do YOU now
believe, after the Panama abortion. and the loss of
British West India Trade that he possesses the
consumuate political skill for which you once CAV e
bf,n credit? We suspect very strongly that your
opinions IN relation TO the talents and principles oil
Mr.. Adams, have undergons change. Hesitate
not, then, TO avow TIM, change, aud discard man
IN whom you have been much deceived. DO
got fear the change of Inconsistency Such change
can only be justly made against those who sacri-
flee principle TO consistent attachment to men /;
and the only way in which you subject your
selves TO it, will be by continuing TO support Mr.
Adams, when his principles no longer coincide
with your own. Give IN, then, your adhesion TO
The doctrines Of 30 and 90 and shew Mr. Ad-
ams that you hold those doctrines too dear, and
value them 100 highly, TO .acriiice them blind
