oi the Pennsylvania delegation, and whv q part voted for Mr, Van Buren and part for 4lr. Buchanan, and what their ultimate course would be. inreply to the inquiry, all he had to say was that the Pennsylvania delegation dare not vote for any other man but Martin Van Buren or James Buchanan, until the friends of Mr. Van Buren deserted Rim - (Cheers.) Un6l thcfriends of Mr. Van Buren withdrew him, the Pennsylvania delegation would not bulge all inch. Tremendous cheering
 Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, said the delegation from that State were instructed to vote for Van Buren and Johnson, and thev had been required to give pledge to that support, otherwise their places would have been supplied by others, and yct,@in the face ot all this he regretted to say q portion of that delgation had disobeyed their instructions. and portion of them had also voted ill favor ol an unjust resolution by which the chances ol MT. Van Buren were sacrificed.
 But he would not censure these delegates for the course they had pursued; he would not use word that would tend to create dis cord, for we were on the eve of an important crlsis;-a great political contest wasapproaeh- ing, and he entertained here but one feeling, but single isolated feeling, and that was q strong desire for the success of the Demo- cratic party, and he appealed 10 the Conven- ton to use every effort to effect a nomination this morning, and to unite upon that nominee with entire unanimity. That compromise was necessary to effect this he was aware. and he for one felt willing to sacrifice every thing except principle and honor, to prevent the elevation to the Presidency of that arch apostate and political demagogue Henry Clay. Judge Bredin thought the remarks of his colleague were calculated to create division and i'll feeling in the delegation, and he de- sired to throw oil as it were upon the troubled waters. He agreed with his friend from the city of Philadelphia, ( MT Brewster, in regard to what he had said as to instructions, but he did not believe that delegate ought to be bound by instructions only as long as there was probability of his carrying them out. While he might differ with some, he believed every member of the delegation had acted honestly. He for one would stand by Mr. Van Buren, whom he was instructed to sup port, as long as New Y ork or Ohio stood by him, and then, and then only, would he desert him. (Teriflic cheering)

 Neither candidate having vote of two- thirds, Mr. Frazier, of Pa, moved to proceed to a ninth ballot, and on the motion made a few eloquent remarks inreply to his colleague, Mir. Brewstef,) denying that in eeasing to vote for Mir. Van Buren he subjected himself to censure, and he threw back the-- charge that he as Jefersonian Democrat, had vio- lated his instructions. That the Pennsylvania delegates had been instructed to vote for Mf. Van Buren was true, but if they were to vote for him and him alone, he would ask where, in the language of the illustrious Benton, was the < reconciliation concession, every thing for the cause, nothing for men," He had been instructed to vote for MT. Van Buren. MT. Buchanan was his first choice. He had voted for Mir. Van Buren three times, and had then cast his votes for Mr, Buchanan, but finding that the latter could not be nominated he had on the last ballot cast his vote for another distinguished member of the Democratic par ty, and who was that man' Certainly not a man that he would.blush to go home and ad- vocate among the intelligent democracy of the Old Keystone State; far from it. He was the bosom friend of < old Hickory (tremen- dous cheering partaking largely of his in- vincible firmness, and devotion to Democratic truth,-he was a whole-souled Democrat- (Dealening applause) He had voted on the last ballot for JAMES K. POLK, of Tennessee, and should continue to vote for him until the last Hounds of applause.)
 Mr. Young, of NewsY ork, rose to offer a resolution, and trusted the Convention would indulge him a few moments, as he had not heretofore trespassed on the time of the body. Other gentlemen had been permitted to eX- plain their position, and in the course of the discussion 1t had been mole than mtimated that, New orl had endeayored to force a candidate upon the Convention. An exami- nation of facts would show that New Y York was mute upon the subject of the Presidency, until Is other States had named for that office, her lavorite son, and her people were at the timereproached by various Democratic papers of the country for their indifference on the subject. But when she did speak, she spoke unitedIy. They were pleased to see Mir. Van Buren brought forward by the people in re- mole parts of the Union and were gratiied at the manifestation of a desire that he who feil
