that Of Mr.. Burr. Those familiar with
parliamentary rules know that this action
was not conclusive, was not an adoption of
the obnoxious Brewster and Ely PROPOSE
ton, but simply brought it directly before
the Council for consideration. Southern
men aware of this, at this stage Of the pro-
ceedings, moved to adjourn others threat
ened, If the proposition was adopted, to
secede Great confusion ensued, in the
midst Of which motion for adjournment
carried. At night, the Southern men held
caucus and agreed, if the proposition
carried, to abandon the Council, and call
a Convention of all National men at later
day. The next morning, the Brewster and
Ely resembling proposition came up, and
was debated till ~ o'clock after which,
a motion to reconsider tie rOte Substituting IL
for Mr.. Burr's proposition, lOaS carried The
effect of this vote was to bring the Coun-
Gil back upon the motion to substitute the
former for the latter and then, on motion
of Mr. Danenhower, the Brewster and Ely
proposition caS laid on the table. This was
the last of that proposition. 1t was never
brought up again, but was permitted to
sleep its last sleep on the table. No other
proposition to rescind the twelfth section
was entertained by the Council. So soon
as the Brewster and Ely proposition was
laid upon the table, the new platform was
adopted in lieu of the platform of last June,
and the Council adjourned The n Y.
Iri6Wne's reporter confeSSes that the North
was defeated" that its /" side was badly
engineered in the fight on the platform"

The Union and American of yesterday,
in an article on the American National
Council, says
1.-The North triumphed in the admissions OF
the anii-twelfih section delegates from Penn
Sylvania. and in the reseiadiHg Of the ttoebth
section.
The twelfth section was not rescinded by
the Council. A proposition to that effect
was made, but 1t did not prevail. We wish
our readers to bear this fact in mind The
reporters for the n. Y. Tribune and n. Y.
Express, in their reports Of the proceedings
of the Convention, agree upon this point.
The following is a suceinct and distinct
statement Of the facts:
On the goth inst Mr.. Chauncey Burr,
Of New York, moved for the appointment
Of committee Of one from each State, to
report business for the Council.
Mr.. Brewster, of Massachusetts,, there
upon submitted the following proposition as
a substitute for Mr. Burr's:
Whereas. The twelfth section Of the plat
form adopted by the National Council 10 jane,
1885, was neither proposed by the South nor
sanctioned BY the North, therefore said section
is hereby stricken oat
Mr.. Ely, Of Massachusetts,, proposed to add,
and Mr.. Brewster accepted, the wordE
"That a. regards the support Of slavery, We
abide By the principles and provisions 81 the
Constitution Of the Unitsd States, yielding &c
more, and claiming 90 less"
Considerable discussion followed, but
finally vote was had, and the Brewster
aad Ely proposition was substituted for

Come home, my love- it seemeth years
Since thou didst softly sigh,
With loving eyes brimfu Of tears,
'Good bye, my child-good bye''
Obi couldst thou know the thousand fears
That chill my secret soul,
When thou art far away-those tears
That mock my weak control;
Thou would'st not chide me, bot in haste
The rushing rivers foam,
The city's thrODg, the woodland waste,
Thou'dsi leave behind, for home
At night hear the Wild wind cry,
And fret the naked bough;
1t maj rs me feel so lone 1 sigh
"Does darling miss me nowf"
All, yes know where'er thou art,
Thou'rt thinking still Of me,
And then soOthe my anxious heart
BY dreaming sweet Of thee.

Thy weary footsteps roam,
