asked If this remark was intended as an attack upon
him. Rayner responded No-he gave every man uli
freedom Of opinion on this question without impugnng
b;s motives; but FOR himself he had no hesitation IN
declaring biz convictions TO be what be had assereu.

Several other moderate men of the Slave States
agreed with Mr.. Rayner but not prepared to aid
m rieh,ing the wrong whose iniquty and injustice
they freely admitted. But most of the Southern men,
beers were indignant at the admissions of Rayner, and
denounced Linn for them. Cunningham Of South Caro-

the gallant North Caronian in true overseeing STYLE

Mr.. Ford after while resumed, and poured forth

But can give proper idea of this speech or ofthe
effect which it produced twas remarkable in power,
in application, in completeness, and able and power
full as were the previous efforts of Foster and Wilson of
Massachusetts, to this was awarded the palm of high
superiority on oil hands. 1t told right and left in the
ranks of the opposition, and left wounds that must
rankle for many day.
Among the other speeches Of yesterday evening was
brief but pointed one from Mr.. Richmond of Mass.
Heindorsed Gen. Wilson with great heartiness. Though
be had ever before been in strong political opposition
10 him. and had voted against him for United States
Senator in the Massachusetts, Senate last winter, his
course here had been such as to win himself and all
the rest of the Massachusetts, delegation mostSeary
to his support and long he continued in the path
marked out at this Convention so long hould he have
bis the speaker's) most undivided sympathy and
support.
The COMMITTEE on "Leaks have made no report

and 10 progress as yet. The drinking and babbllng
90 on as freely as ever and the pubshedreports grow
in fulness as the proceedings develop more points OF
interest They should hurry up their studies In Spir-
ituasm and Acoustics, else the Council viii adjourn
before they accomplish any results In their investga
ton. Every body knows here from what source the
Satanic Press gets its information The Northern
man who would warn the South that they were con-
cedirg too much to the Moth; who would make bold
of his advocacy of Daniel 5. Dickinson for the Presi
denoy at the same time that he processes truer de-
votion than sny else to the speciaitles OF AMER
canism, would hardly any improprety in violating
reposed confidence, and furnishing garoled reports
bearing the peculiar imprint OF his character ior
Press of like Hessian affnities.
ia, orite proposition of compromise on the Slavery
question with the middng Southern interest is to de-
clare in favor of admitting no States with Slavery
north of the Missouri Compromise of SO 3O, but Ill
myor of allowing Slavery to all south of that line
clear through TO the Pacific. This would be fatal 10
10 the North-as fatal almost the worst PROPOSE
tons made.
There is a great commotiOn among the Hunhers
and Chivalry to-day. The effective fire poured INTO
them by the North yesterday has had its elect and
thew trembe in their very boots. The discussion was
resumed this morning by Judge Randall OF Florida,
one of the would-le candidates for the Presidency,
followed by Jennings of Illinois, who came out boldly
and manfuly for Freedom. He was followed by
Burwe of Va, tie author of the majority platform.
His speech was full of the usual Virginia aosracnons
her immense Influence upon the policy OF the Con-
federation her vast resources, her water-powe, ana
her neeers. II was calm and gentemanly hayner
next &c I the floor aud submitted compromise propo-
sion, which l cannct give you now in full, but
the substance is that the question of Slavery does
rot come within the powers of the ORGANIZATIONS iha'
the right to discuss the question is TO be free both al
the No Ia and South and that the existence oil lie
institution depends the local law, and its extension
is 10 be determined by the acts of Congress.
This PROPOSITION was received with comparative
codness by the North but with evident marks Of dis
approbation by the South. South Carolina said that
nothing but the Union saving Degree, designed as she
nterrreted il to ALLURE the discussion of Slavery, had
induced her to renounce her secession doctrines
While Mississippi declared she was ready to bolt Il
such were to be the principles of the Order She wen
SO far as to propose TO expe Wilson from the Con
yei ton for having violated tie Degree Aforesaid
The excitement in reference TO Rayner is intense His
object appears to be to establish Platform on which
such States es North Carolina Tennessee, Kentucky
ord Ma,>lapd cor stand toetIer with the North. lie
