The conyenton assembled at two O'Clock,

Mr.. Graham wanted to hear some discussion
on the resolutions.
Mr.. Brisbane believed in intervention, where

The Chair said it was the duty of every man

age. lie held that the government was bound
to give relief to the sufferer over the superior
hand of the robber, because il possessed It.
Mr.. Moore doubted the propriety of passing
the first resolution; but for one, he wouldn't
stand back. He went for intervention and If
war must come, why, he said, let it come. Mr..
Clay had told Mr.. Kossuth we were for non.in-
tervention; but he didn't care. Great men may
say what they please; he wanted the people 10
go for Intervention.
Mr.. Pardee said he knew the sentiment con-
tanned in the first resolution was pretty strong
language--that it might yet make the crowned
heads OF Europe tremble. He wanted to know
where the man was who would not say the en-
bodment of this first resolution was not true?
None but the stock jobbers, &c. Henry Clay
has done more against the cause of human lib
erty than any other man in this country, save
Lewis Cass. II could not be denied.
The first resolution was adopted unanimously,
as were the balance.
Mr.. jenkins Ia colored man) offered for
adoption the following resolution:
Resolred, That it is the opinion Of this con-
ven,ion that the elective franchise ought to be
extended to all men, without distinction Of color,
and that we will use oar Influence to have
it extended
Quite spirited discussion sprung up on the
adoption OF the resolution; after which it was
adopted unanimously.
