Gen. Small. w. Benedict, Esq, presides over the
Convention. Outsiders in doubt as to the object
of the Conference. 1t is understood that the twelfth
section wing Of the party predominates.
Mr. Edle presided at the afternoon session.
Gen. Small offered resolution, ratifying the nom
nation Of Messrs Fillmore and Donelson, denouncing
the administration for repeating the Missouri Com
promise and condemning the Kansas-N ebraska act as
an outrage on the people.
Governor Johnston offered a substitute, approving
the action of the delegates who retired from the

venton at New York for the 18th of June.
After the debate the substitute was rejected, and
the resolutions adopted by vote of 80 to %.

Mr.. Fillmore time to get right on the Missouri ques-
ton. Rejected.

tion was ratified.
A resolution to make future meetings open was
passed.
Adjourned sine die. oN .@ v-e r
