Mr. Clark, of Iowa moved that COM
mittee OF one from each State be appointed
to prepare protest or series of resolu-
tions expressive of the santilnents of the
BODY
M Clark said that his object was to have
such protest prepared as would show that
the ether body was not national.
| A discussion arose on the motion.
Mr.. Durham, of Conn., said that he
would act with the present body, If there
was to be no afiliation with the black Re-
publicans. lie was still an American, and
/ would continue tn be so, but he could not
stand on the Platform adopted by the other
body.
Mr. Booth, Of Conn, was Of the same
opinion. He said that if Mr.. Fillmore be
nominated by the other Convention, and he
would be willing to stand on the anti-Ne-
braska Platform, he could go for Lim. He
bad bolted from the juno Convention, be-
cause he could not stand on the Platform
with the twelfth section in it; he had boltei
from the Convention to-day, because it had
refused to repudiate the Nebraska iuiquisy;
and without meaning to be irreyerant, said
hs, swear that will always bolt whenever
that measure is sustained.
| Mr.. Stan,baugh, Of Ohio, thought it would
not do for the Boilers to be too stiff. II
the Republicans could meet them on the
American Platform, be did not see why
they could not embrace. He expected, he
said, 10 stump the State next fall for the
! Republican measures.
General Williamson. of Pa, said that he
hoped that they would not be put before the
people wrongfully. He thought that If they
protested against the Nebraska bill, and
against the man who bad signed the infa-
ioous Fugitive Slave bill, it would be
enough. lie wanted the body to 20 before
the people as Americans, not as Republi-
cans. II, said be, you Put US before the
people as Republicans you destroy us, a.
much as we are destroyed by the action O
the other body, in refusing to repudiate tb,
/ Nebraska bill.
After some further discussion, the motor
to appoint Committee prevailed, and thi
following named were eIected.-Gov. Colby
