In the afternoon, the Convention met in a

there were as many again. And you will
note that the day was most inordinately and

and was certainly made up of men who could

When the Chair was taken, Mr.. Wilson
introduced Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, as one OF
the delegates to the Philadelphia Conven-
ton who had stood mp manfully to maintain
the rights of the Wing Party of the United
States. Mr.. Campbell was received with
great applause. After thanking the Conven.

together to hear, confer, and reason, came
with their minds made up. The Convention
had more the appearance of a mob than of a
deliberative body. The Southern Taylor
men had everything their own way. No op-
ponent Of Taylor could be in order. He
moved that the nominee of the Wing Con-
vention should be a Wing! Never was there
such a scene Of excitement! His resolution
was pronounced out of order by the Chair,
and his appeal laid on the table, upon the
motion of a Northern man! Other attempts

Mr.. S. G. Phillips then read the Address
Of the Convention to the People of Massachu-
sets. 1t was a well-written and forcible
Paper,-the substance, if not the whole Of
which, you will probably lay before YOU
readers. 1t proposed the formation of a New
Party, to be made up of all the opponents Of
Slavery in the Old Parties, for the purpose o.
resisting every scheme for the Extension o.
Slavery, and stated the object of this Con
@vention to be to take measures for the orga'
~nization Of such a party. 1t recommended
the appointment of delegates to the Buffalo
Convention, and prophesied that no othe
candidate can receive the electoral vote o
Massachusetts. After an unsuccessful at
tempt of Mr.. Mellen to embody the "Consti
