The Massachusetts - Americans. :"

1 ne NassachuSetts - Americans.
They had lively time at the meeting of
the American State Council in Boston on the |
4th,-whieh met to hear the reports of the |
delegates to the Philadelphia meeting-and |
to say what must be done with the nomina-
ton. Several reporters were admitted and |
others excluded. The Atlas and journal give
full accounts Of the proceedings.
We gather the following noticeable extracts
from the speeches of the different delegates.
Mr.. Richmond said
" He came to the conclusion. when the
platform was adopted, that he was not sit
ting in an American Council, but that he had
met a Southern conclayc. which wished to
pcrvert the American Council to a pro-sla-
very organization. and if so, he could never
act with them. He sto.d on the Springfield
platform, and would stand there (applause.D
and he could not go out and support Fillmore
and Donelson on that platform If he could
he would cheerlully.
Mr. S. VI. Allen said
lie believed the professions made by the
| South for Fillmore were rotten and inslncerc
- made with the determination to 70 home
and vote for their own standard bearer who
would support the Nebraska act Not one
of the Massachusetts delegates voted for Mr.
Fillmore on the formal or informal vote"
Mr.. y. b. Ely, regarded Mr.. Fillmore
AS kind of old forv, and his nomina-
ton as a resuscitation of the old Whic marty.
With these feelings he could not see how he
could vote for him. But here wa. the ques
| ton. If you don't take him. what will you
| do lie went for the nomination in order to
prevent any coquettng with the Republican
I ,yl,icl In laI 81.
On the whole, Mr.. Ely was in very I'M
csr+ain state or mind a. ,vo sborIl su,r,so
man would be, who, at Philadelphia, thought
it would be well for the party to have one
sure leg for the American ylatiorm, and one
,novcoblc one to be mt ON the slovcrv
