inv rerret I found there members OF Congress,
who instead Of being in their appropriate places,
attending TO the public business, were contrvlng
the work Of President making and with an in
iluence fatal to the existence Of the Wing party.
AT the close of the morning session of the Sec
ond day, | offered. resolution. for session with
closed doors, for free Conference on the state
of the Wing party, which passed without oppo-
stlon At the opening Of the afternoon session,
offered aresolution similar in effect to the course
taken at the Convention of lS40-that the dele.
cation Of each State by majority of its men,
bers, respond, without debate, to the questions,
What candidates they could carry-What were
doubtful, and what they could not carry l off
cred this as preliminary to Il free conference on
the availability Of the several candidates. This
resolution was on motion and without debate, in
stantly laid on the table,-thus forccosing all
means of free consultation in relation to the
views and wishes Of the free States. And now
ask in borrowed language, "TVhat is q ConUen

ion, aud after duty aOeigAing eoery circumstance

ton to&ich wjU probably secure succcs5" These
just views were defeated by laying that resolution
on the table. Nor was there any opportunity
offered for fair consultation on the state of the
Wing party. Every attempt at that object was
frustrated by questions of order, motions to lay
on the table, or the previous question. And the
convention began to ballot in nearly the same
slate Of Ignorance Of the views Of the free States
at least, las to any thing which took place in
convention as when it first opened its session
And tie business of the convention was conduc
ted in manner that showed plainly that the
friends of Gen. Taylor we're from previous ar
rangeGent secure of success.
Without anything like free consultation, thu
ballot was ordered on motion of Mr., uAshman o
Massachusetts, as modified by Mr.. Kent of Maine
1t was evidently, foregone conclusion.
The first and last ballots were for Taylor, as

0~77 The following is the platform and resolution
adopted at the Buffalo Convention.
The Platform.

Whereas, we have assembled in convention as
union of freemen, for the sake of freedom, forgetting
all past political differences in common resolve to
maintain the rights of free labor against the agrees
sons of the slave power and to secure Free Soil for
Tree people:
And whereas the political conventions recently as
sembed at Baltimore and Philadelphia, the one sitting
the voice of great constituency, entitled to be heard
in its deliberations and the other abandoning its dis
ncye principles for mere availability, have dissolved
the national party organizations heretofore existing, by
nominating for the chief magstracy Of the United
States under slaveholdpg dication candidates, Meth
er of whom can be supported by the opponents of
slavery extension, without sacrifice OF consistency,
duty, and setrespect
And. whereas. these nominations so made, furnish
the OCCASION and demonstrate the necessity of the I'M
ion of the people, under the banner of free democracy
in solemn and final declaration Of their independence
of the slave power, and of their fixed determination to
rescue the federal government from its control;
Resolved, therefore, that we, the people, here as
sembled, remembering the example Of our fathers IN
the days of the first declaration of independence, put
ting our trust in God for the triumph of our cause and
invoking his guidance in endeavos to advance 1t,
do now plant ourselves upon the national platform OF
Freedom in opposition TO the sectional platform of
slavery,
Resolped. That in the several States of this Union
which recognize its existence, depends upon State
laws alone, which cannot be repealed or modified by
the federal government and for which laws, that gov
eminent is not responsible. We, therefore, propose
no interference by Congress with slavery within The
limits ofany state.
Resolved That the proviso of Jefferson to prohibit
the existence of slavery after 1900 IN all the terrific
res of the United States, southern and northern; the
votes of SIX States and sixteen delegates, in the Con-
gress of 1854 for the provlso to three States and sew
en- delegates against it the actual exclusion Of slavery
from the northwestern territory, by the ordinance OF
1857, unanimously adopted by the States in Congress-
and the entire history of that period, clearly show that
it was the settled policy Of the nation, not to extend
nationalze or encourage. but to limit ocalize, and
discourage, slavery; and to this policy which should
never hive been departed from, the government ought
to retulu.
Resolved That our Fathers ordained the Constltu
ton of the United States IN ORDER among other grea
national objects, to establish justice, promote the gen
era welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty; bu
expressly denied to the federal government which they

BUFFALO, N. Y, Friday Morning, Aug. II.
After two days almost incessant labor and intense
excitement have just closed the most remarkable
political convention ever known to the American peo-
peand the result is promulged to the world. Fearing
shall not be able in consequence of the innumerable
host now departing from the city, to reach home by
the usual means of conveyance, in season to report in
the next Freeman, seize moment, in the midst Of
the greatest possible confusion and tumult, barely to
announce the grand results Of this convention.
/ To my utter establishment and indispensable gratf-
cation the deliberations Of this contention hare been con-
Quoted NTH the greatest harmony and Tie final result
has received the appreciation Of all parties represented
therein! Nothing but the oyorrung providence of
God could have prepared the way for harmonious
union of such diversified and discordant elements in
the organization Of great National party planted up
the eternal and mmutable principles Of ustcc,and
destined toe u5ummatel the great work so gorousy
begun by our Revolutionary Fathers. We came here
with trembling heart but from the very beginning Of
the preliminary meeting on Tuesday night, we felt
that the hand Of God was distinctly visible in the
movement and that the throbbng hearts of the PEG
ple who came IN by thousands and ten of thousands
we're fully prepared for high and consistent ground
such as would satisfy the most technical adheren Of
the Liberty Party. So deeply impressed were the
Free Soil democrats and wings with the magnitude Of
the work before them, that in their preliminary meet
ing special season was appointed for suppcation &c
God o wisdom and grace to guide our Councils
When this fact was announced in the preli1.lHa.J
meeting of the Liberty Party, the proposition wa'
hear tly approved and amid the solemn and deeptone(
dcvotons of that occasion, derived good assurance
that the work was of higher origin than mans device
and must succeed.
During the first session of the general convention
all doubtas to a final union was removed by the IN
nouncement of the subjoined proposition, by Hon
Preston King, of New York, as platform rendered
by the Free Soil democrats and whigs:-

should we be so deprived, would be. We
have formed a truth by the consultation
and concurrence of our five senses, but
peradventure, we should have the consent
and contribution of eight or ten, to make
a certain discovery of our own being. The
Sects that controvert the knowledge of
man, do it principally by the uncertainty
and weakness of our senses. For since
all knowledge is by their means and med
itation conveyed unto US, if they fail In
their report, if they corrupt, or alter what
they bring us from without, if the light
which by them creeps into the soul be
obscured in the passage, we have nothing
else to hold by. From this extreme diff
iculty all these fancies proceed. that ev

Since the last annual session of the legisa-
tive assembly, Silas Wright, a great states

fallen by tn e hand of death, in the meridian
of his life and usefulness to his country
When a member of the United States senate,

he believed would promote the best interest," OF
his country, he has justly been called the
Cato of America" l respectfully recon-
mend to the Legislative Assembly, that
Joint resolution of the Council and Honse be
passed, expressive of the high estimation in
which the memory Of Mr.. Wright is held by
the people of Wisconsin. This deem de
served tribute of respect to the memory of a
great and good man.
The appropriations made by congress to de-
fray the current expen sos of the Legs alive
Assembly for the present fiscal year, having
in part b cen expended during the late special
session, the unexpended balance is so lImltedln
amount that the present session viii necessa-

the late convention for the organization OF Il
state government, it would seem that the less
legislation done at present would best accord
with the wishes of the people.
The Legislative Assembly will have my
cooperation in every welldirected effort to
promote the public good. trust your delb-
erations viii be conducted III harmony and
good feelings, and so as to best promote tho
prosperity of the people of Wisconsin.
