SECOND DISPATCH.
9p. m.-Thc evening session opened at OF clock,
with the feeling that the business Of Platform-nakng
must be finished before adjournment. Gen. Zollicoffer
of Tenn. declined 10 continue his speech The previous
propositions having been tabled Mr.. Eisenhower of
H. moved the Platform Of Mr. Evans sent in my after
letter substitute for the June National Plat
form, and called the previous question Mr.. Corwine
of Ohio moved the following in place Of the Sixth Ar
tcle Of the proposed substitute:
ARTICLE The unqualified recognition and maintenance Of
Of harmony and atena good Will between the citizens of the
S & and the s VIC as s.e public ana Pso
pie Of Platform hat the repeal OF the Missouri Compromise
was an n'Iscon o. the Pssd isn o. 'ne naon sa
should refuse admit into the Unon State oeTatng
Slavery which shall be formed Of any portion Of the tern
tory embraced under that Compromise
The President ruled Mr.. Corwine's motion out Of
order. An appeal was taken but lost-l07 to Ga
defeat Of the North by the South and Central Amer
cans. After speeches by Mr.. Spooner Of Ohio and
Mr. Perkins of Conn-the latter very searching and
candid discussion of the Slavery question-all sides
demanded the question on the motion Of Mr.. Danen-
hover. 1t was divided and the Yeas and Nays first
taken on the abrogaton Of the whole of the June
Platform.
After the voting commenced on the striking out
the old Platform it's friends began to think they had
been bitten, and wanted TO back out and unite the
questions, but il too late. Messrs. Ely aud Keith
of Mass. in voting to strike ont, pledged themselves
to put in the substitute also. Mr. Barker alone of the
NewYork delegation voted No, making speech
doubling the good faith Of the Northern Americans.
Other Central and Southern Americans voted Yea,
trusting 10 the DOnOI anu BOou VI
TO vote for the substitute. Col Boiling of Va. said
his Bible taught love to and faith in God, and he
voted No. Mr.. Botelier of Va, feared the Greeks
bearing aims and voted No Gov. Call Of Fla, voted
Yes in order to save the Union and the party and said
ave must stay here till we can agree upon Plat
form" Gov. Johnston Of Pa, did not want to be
charged with bad faith hereafter, and in giving his
vote in favor of the striking out said he should vote
" @bo Of T;nna oaptlnfnau unlcla
il was amended to suit him. The delegate from Henry
NJ Fuller's district in Pennsylvania, said in giving
his vote that his district could not elect another
American Member of Congress unless the party went
in favor of the restoration of the Missouri Compro-
mise Many Northern members gave notice that they
should vote against the substitute and denied that
there was any bad faith in doing So Mr. Eustis of
La Catholic refused to vote and the representative
Of the rival Council voted No. President Bartlett
voted No.
The taking of the vote occupied an hour and a half
At least half of the delegates made speeches when
their names were called, and at times the greatest
disorder prevailed
The vote was declared, and the old platform was
abrogated-Yess, one hundred and nirty-eigh;
Nays. ffv-one by Statcs--Yeas: New. Hampshire
- Massachusetts, two Connecticut six, Rhode Island
four. New-York thirty New-Jersey four, Delaware
two Florida one Pennsylvania thirty thee, Louisiana
one. California one Tennessee two, Ohio twenty-five,
Wisconsin four, Indiana two District Of Columbia
two, Illinois four Iowa two. Nays New-York one,
MARYLAND elk, Virginia nine, North Carolina two,
Louisiana two California one, Arkansas two, Tennes-
see nine, Kentucky nine, Indiana one
The question was Immediately pressed on the SUBJ
stitute platform, the previous question still holding
and cutting off all debate, all propositions for amend
meut and all new motions.
Dir. Peck Of Conn. moved to adjourn sine die.
Ruled out Of order, amid cries of No, no."
On the substitute Mr.. Colby of New-Hampshire
voted No. His colleagues Messrs. Ely and Brewster,
and Messrs Arnold and Keith of Massachusetts, voted
Yes and the rest No. Connecticut all No, save Mr..
Booth who was absent. Mr.. Perkins of Connecticut
voted No, for three reasons: first, because the new
Platform embraces the doctrine Of Squatter Sever
eighty to the Territories second, because while the
Twelfth Section meant something-ths means nothing
third. because this Council has no right to make
Platform for the Nominating Convention ofto-morrow
There was long and trying struggle and great
disorder before the voting on the substitute was
finished II was declared at oclock-Yeas los;
Nays, II, and 30 carried.
Great reioicings followed from the Nationals and
the New.Yorkers, to whom the result is mainly due,
were essentially ubant Scenes of terrible confusion
followed EXAMINATIONS and recrimnations were rife,
and seemed several times ifthe assemblage would
break up in row. But it survived it all, great
deal better than the party will the new Platform
Several Western members pronounced the party dis
solved, and dead and said they could not carry their
people on such Platform.
At % O'Clock the Council adjourned, after giving
cheers for the President for Tom Ford, for Ohio,
