The Phi .adelphia Convention.

The New York Express Of last evening has
the following report from the Philadelphia
American Convention, doubtless from the pen
Of Hon. James Brooks
The inventions from this quarter OF the Tribune
and Herald, and some other papers, m abo,ltion
and administration utilization, do honor TO Mum
chausen himself The Live Oak Stockton,
" Fillmore and ubackbone stuff are nauseating.
The Seward outside effort isto break up the Grand
Council-but Ii has not the least prospect OF sue
cess. :,
There Ia no idea Of expeIling Senator Wilson. II
Senators Hunter and Mason, of Virginia, and But
Ter, Of South Carolina, can associate with him In
the United States Senate, his presence 70 endurshe
| in Know-Nothing Council. --Northern know-No-
| things need not be particular about companions,
when Virginia Senators shake hands In public with
Seward over his election
| Colonel Boiling, of Virginia, good-natured Viz
gilman philosopher and planter, has BEEN Il 10 true
| discussinp ethnology and other such interesting
and abolition subjects, with Senator Wilson, on
| which the virginian has read and thought much,
and the Massachusetts, Senator but little, but in
| good .natured way. The Virginian don't think
much Of the negro race, and the Massachusetts
Senator does think much Of 1t, and they are likely
| TO agree only to disagree.
The platform work, OF which II is thought there
must DO one, Ia a work Of some difficulty, to be
sure but of no more than the Usual difficulty. The
Jacker It is the better in some quarters, and the
hiter Il Is, the better in others. In such cases,
NJ Baltimore, il has been inlad in the Mosaic man
ner but now it Ia likely to be laid in the engmat'
| ical manner.
A large majority Of tho Northern delegates are
sound sensible, rightthinking men, and there are
only few fre-eaters from the South, and they
| don't mean to eat too much fire. There has been
no sectional caucusing, whatever. Southern men
and Northern men mngle on the best terms TO-
gether, u.
There Is difficulty in part of Massachusetts,, Mi.
chigan, and In Northern Indiana, and Northern
Ohio-which would like to have strong anti
| slavery platform-bus in Maine, Connecticut, New
| Hampshire, and other free States nothing Of the
4 like ia wanted New York. Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey pull together as one man, on principles
and with them 20 all the Southern counties on the
/ north side Of the Ohio river.
! There is nothing to be put on the platform,
and nothing can be put on, which will make neces.
sary any sacrifice of principle on the subject Of
slavery, either from the North or South.
The most Of the delegates here are new men
IMMERSED In practical politics, but there are among
them many men eminent in the various walks Of
life, Judges Of high courts, Governors, and ex-
Governors Of States, Members Of Congress- elect,
&C., &c. ssss3ess a ssa.s
The Roman Catholic delegates their ques-
ton Of admission Louisiana, have given a
| great deal more trouble than the negro ques-
ton. They have been excluded rs to A., upon
| the ground presume, that their spiritual and
temporal allegiance to the Pope was incompatible
with American independence. Ercluded, though,
is, perhaps, snot the word for by this vote the
competing lodges in Louisiana, established on
Protestant principles, have been admitted.
