The Vote on the Platform in Commiaee-7Ae Debate on
Aondoy-Notional Sentiments in the Ascendant-A
Split Ineritable, dc.
In my teiesraphc despatch Of yesterday committed
as to the vote the platform In the commit
tee, which rectify The facts are thsss:-The
measure adopted was proposed by New York, q sub
sttute to plan proposed by New Jersey and, as sub
final vote in the committee, adopted by ayes 49,
nays Is.
The pursued in the committee, IL am rightly
inormsdand Of that fact there is but little doubt
withsspdpg the great difficulty OF obtanng particulars
since the institution of the committee to ferret out
leaky memses-was to call in alphabetical erder each
State and to record its utmatum upon the momsntous
issues before it. The several States responded or at

that respone, the most papable Indications Of the
views By which they sevsraly Influenced. The ma
jority press nted nstiona the minority sectional and
the betwsens sort OF fish chowder schedule Of prin
ciples and psradoxes.
The report submitted yesterday afternoon as you
are already advised and ecssd most exciting debate
mp to the hour of adjournment at P. NJ, when the
members in body, and by special invitation visited
the old Colonial Hail. During the afternoons debste,
led on by Governor Gardner, whose sectional ailia
tcns 'rs feared, papaole and apparent than
his national obligations, Mallory, Of New York. par
tcFated and in aspesch Of great po vndcated the
nationality of the 0der, and rebuked, in withering
terms the efforts being Instituted to denationalze
1t, by making it the instrument Of natco additional
designs and purposes He was followed by Barker Of
New YORK, who In speech Of thrilling power and
effect carried 'ths into Airica," and in the most
pointed terms scathed the Massachusetts, faction which
had sought to subsi ze the Order and to dehrone it's
nationality and to erect upon its ruins Northern
tional party and faction.
The ysniOy session consumed, up to the hour OF
adjournment-10z p Min the discussion Of the natu.
razaton questionable proper extension Of the term
whether foreigners naturalizsd hereafter should be eli
gble to civil oic4 &C. variety Of opinions ably
expressed and the most intense excitement pervaded
the debate.
The Convention as you perceive, has been launched
boldly into the stormy and angry Of sectional de-
bate and, during its further progress will present
rich dsvelopement of the conflicting passions and feel
ngs which unbappy divide the extremes OF the nation
The national sentiment Is however, in the ascendant
and when angry passions shall have subsidized, and
sober patriotism, in It's calmsr deliberations shall
have exertsd its wonted sway will be vndicstsd by
most decisive majority.
It has been apparent from the commencement that
the most rampant fanaticm had avegled itself into the
general delteration, and that Wilson and his Seward
conrercs here mot snatonals" but dis
rupionists aiding and abetting the Of division
made inevitable by the very agencies which they
boastuy they have instituted to produce the dire
result.
1t needless to speculate the extent Of the d.
vision that it exists is painful fact, and that II viii
retArd greatly the prospects Of the party too papable
to be controverted.
OF the thirtytwo States composing this Convention
incline to the opinion that not less than tsn perhaps
eleven win withdraw upon sectional issues The great
body headed by New York, Pennsyivana, (psrhsps New
Jersey aud the whole Southern States, including Ken
lucky, and perhaps or two Western States will con-
sute the sationa party; and possessing 1t wl the
numerical strength Of the country, with the prestige Of
moral power consequent upon such issue, win battle
successfully for the supremacy Of the constitution It's
compromises and requirements.
