Yesterday, as i wrote you, 1t seemed certain tnet
both these propositions would be thrown aside and the
question wholly ignored or milk and-water COM
promise adopted. But as the day waned aud the dis
cussion grew spirited the baenness Of such result
became more and more apparent, and both parties
became more and more determined TO stand by their
respective propositions as those only upon which they
could successfully appeal to the people Of their resPec-
tive sections.
The closing speech of Judge Cone of Georgia deep
eped this feeling by bis appeals to the South and h's
denuncistion of Kenneth Rayner and the few other
middlipe men of the Convention. The extremes OF
the North and South united their forces to defeat all in
termcdiate ropostons and stand fall by the org
nay defined issues of the Committee.
The result is Of course the defeat If the North but
has come out of The contest stronger than it went in
and II viii appeal from the Council TO the people with
powerful effect.
The Northern members meet for consultation and
action this morning They will repudiate the decision
of the Convention and in tho words of Gov Gardner
of Massachusetts shake off the dust from their feet
a. a testimony against the minions of Slavery who
have Frustrated Amecanism as they have the Repub-
lie to their basest ends.
PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, June LIP. M.

States has been tran smted you by telegraph. Thank
God! There is a North at last. The South is aghsst

The South has finally learned that the North is IL
earnest; and though il soTows as though it would moi
be comfored that its power over the Free States
gone its respect is enhanced ten-fold for them and
their positions. Southern mon begged this morning
that the Northern Delegates would come back into
the Counci-they proffered everything-their mouths
dropped words of sweet promise; but the North said:
No; We told you we would 20 If you refused to restore
NJ KaDsas and Nebraska, and passed the resolutions
Of the majority, and now mean to keep our word.
The meeting of the Northern members this morning
was at O'Clock in one of the parlors of the Grari
House 1t was well attended and spirited. There
was no voice for looking back. The weak were
strong tho strong were thrice armed aud they sent
forth their moderate but firm address and statement OF
principles with surprising unanimity Their spirit
was catching. Pennsylvania and New-Jersey could
not resist its influence. They have prepared sepn-
rate address for their constituents differing not sub
santaly from that of the other States of the North.
New-York alone is eft-a monument of the iniamy OF
her Observation-Disclosures alike to Freedom and their
State. As one Of their party from NewYork City told
them to day-they would be repudated from one en'i
OF the State 10 the otbcr--tho Empire State would
trample their resolutions under its feet By ro hIRdd
thousand majority.
The debate yesterday afternoon was rather warm.
Barker made speech calling attention to himself as
the founder of the Order. He gave an affecting pic
ture of the organization in its tender infancy, wher
they met in q small room aud had but very few
ue,ubers He usod 10 be a Seward man. he said; ht
