K. NJ. Convention.

/ la Az SOAfSA1IAuI'
/ The X. Ms have met for the first time
+ in National Convention, and a stormy
time they have had Of it. On Monday,
the Committee on platform made a re-
port, ignoring the slavery question, GRE
solving it completely out Of sight. 1t
held that Congress has no right to lcsis-
late upon the subject Of slavery, either in
the States or Territories. and thatit should
not refuse to admit any State into the Con-
taiegacy because }er Constitution permit
tel slavery, Il also repeated that stale
Old joke, Of "deprecating and discoun-
tenancing agitation" In fact, it was as
l,ough-taceish and limber-backel as the
South conld have desired. Sach plat
form could not have passed the Commit
tee, had not the Nrw York delegation
turned upon the North and voted for it.
Then came the fight. The whole North
ern delegation, with the exception Of New
York, denounced the platform, plank BY
plank. The Southern delegation stormel
and rayeIl, but it was Of no use. They
threatened to split--tho North cried "do
it." The minority presented a resolution
as anti, slavery as possi5le-periectly rank.
1t was debated, and in that debate there
was no mincing matters Wilson of Mas
SachuSetts, Cumback Of Indiana, Fl5 che.
Of Vermont, and Capt. Tom Ford of
this Stac, scored the South and lashe,i
their Northern supporters without mercy.
80 compromises, no slavery in the terri
tories, was the Smallest Of their demands.
Down came the 9ou.h, ana on their knees
begged .or . co.npro0..~o. We give a
dispatch fIon the I'fbane:
\ special li<pltch to the 7t 5unc, date,
8 ? D., says:
The debate On Slavery has ragged all day
with great venemcnee. On tho part Of the.
North 1t has been conducted with macb.
teariessncSs and power. Fo>jar and vii
son OF Massachusetts,, and For! Of Ohio,
have made magnificent speeches, ,howingI
the lmpossibi!ity Of unioa on the majority
resolutions, denouncing tie repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise and demanding its
restoration. The New York Delegates
have been riddlel fore and aft for their.
Joughlaccism. The South is rowcl com
pIetely and the donghfaces are thinning
out wonderfully, Men here are beginning
to find out that The North are in ealnest.-l
Seymour Of New York, has deserted hi,
associates and come on to tho restoration
platform.
Pennsylvania has seen new Tight, and
says she can be saved only or that plat
form. Fosters speech was adnirabi ic.-I
Wilson came down with crushing force
on the New Workers, and Ford swept the
field. Rich nond Of Massachusetts, Cum
back Of Indiana, Baker of New York. and
Cunninham Of South Corolina, have been
among the other speakers. Kenneth Raw
mere has feltstitene'l up by dispatch from
reliable friend in New York, saying that
not single Free State can be carrie o,I
the ma.,o:i.y Y platform. The South are on
their kHecs asking fer a compromise. 1t is
impossible to describe the effect ofthe davis
debate. The talk of the North lasI
been OF the plaincst and most vigorous
sort.
y third session has Just commenced and
the debate goes on.
Ten o'cloek p. M-Tho Council is still
discussing the Slavery question. Many
delegates yet desire to speak. Spe.rv of
Connecticut, spoke We'll to night, deny
ing the complaint Of the spinal disease,
ant demanding the restoration for Kan
sas as the least concession to Connecticut.
Kenneth Ravner created great storm
among the Southern members to-day bv
declaring the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise not onl 7 uncaIIcl for but an out
rage. lhe question will to reached to-
morrow The probability now is that
ooth t"o Hl2loflty ana minority rcsolu-
tlons will be rejected AMI milk and water
attempted. let the North beware of it.
Finding that it was impo ,sible to unite
with the South save by unconditional sub
mission to the slave power, the Northern
delegation withdrew from the Convention
and organized a Northern order! We
give the telegraph report
