Convention nov ia session, endorsing and adopt
ing the platform and the nominee Of the National
Convention. - r
Mr.. wimot from the Platform Committee, re-
ported resolution for the appointment of COM
mittee of three to prepare an address to the coun
try, and to all parties. which was the only notice
taken Of the communication from the New York
Boilers Convention, which body, by this action,
as weii as by Mr.. Giddings's extraordinary move
ment yesterday, was virtually kicked out OF the
Convention. This Committee consists Of +. p.
Blair, George T. Brown Of Illinois, and =. G.
Spauding of New York.
A proposition TO proceed to an informal ballot
having been agreed to, various members rose TO
nominate their respective candidates and eulogize
their peculiar merits Dayton of New Jersey,
wilmot of Pennsylvania, Banks 6f Massachusetts,,
and Lincoln Of Illinois, appeared to be the favor
tie nags, and were seyerally trotted out, in order
to show their PAGES. Col Archer, the Congress
siona Illinois contestant, took the floor in favor Of
Lincoln, and made such speech as he only can
make. a#
He avowed his entire Republicanism, and was
even introduced to the Convention as the man who
next week. as soon as Congress could get together,
was to oust its present occupant, Hon. James @.
| Allen, from his seat in that body. Let the Ma
tional Americans there remember this, and see TO
IL that such result Is attained by assistance OF
| theirs
The result OF the informal ballot showed that
| Mr.. Dayton had 25s votes, or nearly one-half OF

ming candidate. Lincoln, Of Illinois, stood next,
having received 10 votes, and there were 1872
scattering. Poor VIM. +. Johnston, of Pennsylya-
MA, the fayorite of the New York Boilers Conven-
ton, was honored with two entire votes, given BY
some daring Massachusetts, delegates. After that,
| his very existence was entirely ignored
The popular feeling having been thus plainly in
| dicated before proceeding to formal ballot the
names of Messrs. Banks, Sumner, Wilson, Wilmot
and Ford, were withdrawn by their respective del
egations, leaving the contest between Dayton and
Lincoln. After the vote of Pennsylvania was an
nounced the latter was also withdrawn, and Mr..
Dayton had full course, receiving all the vote OF
the Convention except thirty one, and these being
subsequently changed, this gentleman may claim
the honor Of having received the actual unanimous
vote of the entire body of delegates, numbering
about SEQ. Terrific shouting was again renewed
and the vast hall became perfect Babel
After appointing committee of nine to notify
the candidates Of their nomination, the balance q
| the session was taken up by speeches from sundry
| orators. A Mr.. Wells Of California who respond.
ed for that State to the nomination of its favorite
son, made a sophomorcsl declaration, wherein he
attempted to draw parallel between Washington
and Fremont his only argument being that they
had both been attached to surveying expeditions
From the success Of the former he augued that of
the latter, and the crowd was witless and sacrle-
! gious enough to applaud his rhodomontade.
Two editors of Dutch newspapers in Illinois were
forced upon the stand, to assure the audience that
the German population of the country would 60 EN-
mosse for Fremont and Dayton (This, by
the way, is bad news for the Democrats.) He said
that nearly all of the German papers in the coun-
| try, about one hundred, would hoist the Repsbli.

| One enthusiastic individual announced with
much flourish that thirty-nine men in one Phila-
delphis factory had agreed to support the ticket,
and the mass, by their vociferous applause, seemed
to fancy that this was all hlt was necessary to Sc
cure the, success Of their ticket. The delegates
have acted, nearly all the time, like set OF
noisy school-boys than like sensible rejecting men,
1t is confidently asserted here that Mr. Giddings'
strange course yesterday, about the Boilers COM
municaton, and the Convention thereon, to-day,
has given Mr.. Fillmore from three to five hundred
| thousand votes more than before counted on The
poor old man has been thoroughly keehauled, and
| did not make his appearance to day.
1t is also distinctly understood that the efforts
of Webb, Greeley and Weed, have virtually been
directed for Seward, who woald, if Fremont were
elected, use him "a his cttspaw.
It's, furthermore, finally understood and agreed
that this was not Republican, but rcd-hot Alb
clifton Convention
Well the struggle is over, and the ticket is be-
fore us-harmless a viper with its Gnes ex.
tracted.
