0lC TOT Salitlty.
 If I understand this document, it is for the union of all enemies to slavery aggression.
 Mr. Williamson, of Pa. said that Pennsvl vanla was American and republican also.- There Is a day of courtship in which parties dc not like each other much. 1 have had some experience in that line; but as soon as we begir to show our good qualities, they like Us better Applause.
 A voice from the back part of the room "Three cheers for Fillmore" and cries of " No no,'' and misses
 The chairman-The sergeant-at- arms vii put any man out of doors that dsturbs the meeting.
 Mr. Williamson-I rather like that. There Is no need of putting them out, for they will al be put out aitera little.
 Mr. Hastead, of New Jersey, arose tc speak amid loud cries of "Queston ques. tion ,
 The President-The gentleman from New Jersey cries of "Question d-n New Jer- sey y" ]-the gentleman from New Jersey has the floor.
 Mir. Halstead preceded to speak in favor of union of all opposed to the administra. ton.
 The motion to take recess was put and car ried
 AFTERNOON SEssIoN-The convention was called to order at twenty-five mnutes past f P. M
 The president in opening the proceedings al- luded to the disorder which prevailed among outsiders during the morning session, and said that police force would be employed to enforce order
 A motion to confne the debate to five min ute speeches was warmly debated, and after being extended to thirty minutes, fnallyi lost During the debate Mir. Perkins, of Conn.,, said He understood this to be an American conven- tion-a convention of the American party of this Union. On the question as to whether they should have half an hour or fifteen min utes he had something to say. He agreed with Mir. Jones, of New York, that they should talk of the Interests of white men rather than those of black men. But they were discussing the interests of white men. The question discus sed here this morning was whether they should have more republicans than Amcrcans-like South Carolina which had 100000 blacks more than whites Laughter. If there was any one application of American principles clear he supposed 1t was to secure the control of the government in the hands of white Americans He was opposed to the motion restricting the debate to fifteen minutes, and was rather in fa- vor of the thirty minutes amendment The gentleman from New York made a mistake as to who took care of the negroes It was not this party, but the democratic party. The de- mocratic partv's doctrine was to ditfnSc nirger blood over the country. That was not the doc- urine of the American party. Loud cheers l At Philadelphia they were told by MT. Percy Walker of Alabama, who dissolved the Union twice and wept over the grave of Americansm, laughter and then returned and voted for Mir. Fillmore, that they haG the interest of a thousand millions of dollars in nisgers He (Mr. Perkins, was not taking care of negroes. The question which they had been discussing was one of more interest to the free white men of the south than 1t was to those of the north.
 It was proving that as the negroes in the south exceed the shareholders hve-told, we should have five times fifteen minutes, or five times thirty minutes, Laughter This was an American convention. The democratic par ty took care of the negroes and of the foreign CTS, and were opposed to the American party because it required the application of American principles to the aliens of this county, whether they be white or black. The American party could not alone by itself defeat the democratic party. It wanted to get all it could to vote for its candidates. There had not been single American ticket voted for in the country that had not hal the support of other than Ame- rcan members. He liked to have such sup port. They should get all they could, and 1t Was their object to nominate candidates who would get slch votes. The questions which were to come up in the country and to be dis posed of within the next four years, were the repeal of the naturalization laws and the regu- lat!on of free labor in the territories Ap- pIause. TO settle these questions they want ed to get votes; and should they refuse co-ope- ration with other ,artir, who were desrous of acting with them? Why was that communi. cation sent in? Because the American party Was q permanent one, and the republican party Was mere temporary orLaniZation--a one idea and they wanted to consult as to whether they should not put up candidate whom all could sustain. He hoped that proposition would not be denied. He wanted a live true man to be nominated as their candidate for the Presidency of the United St4tcs-a man tc meet the storms that would be raised by for ciguers on the one hand, and capital which con trols slavery on the other. Cheers. He wanted an American put in nomination as their candidate for the Presidency, who would say to it's disorganzerS, "This Union never can bC dissolved, and will hang any man who talk. about dissolving it. Cheers
 Mr. Sawyer of Pennsylvania. moved that ; committee of one from each State be appoint ed to prepare resolutions xpressive of the view. of the convention.
 The motion was agreed to- an the followin. gentlemen were appointed on such committee The delegations from other States not named had not reported before the close of the pro- ceeIngs: Rhode Island Thomas ,Jenckcs Pennsylvania, J. Sewell; Massachusetts, J. II Temple; Ohio, T. II. Ford; New Hampshire J. Q. Morse; Maine Allen Schcnck; Connec tcut, E. Perkins; New Jersey, S. J. Bavard.
 Mir. Peck, of Connecticut, moved that thh convention do now proceed to an informal bal lot for the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency
 MT. Williamson, of Pennsylvania, moved tt amend the motion by making the Informal bal lot the order of the day for tomorrow, at II o'clock. The amendment was accepted
 MT. Graves, of New York, was opposed to the adoption of the motion. He was surprised at the motion being made at this time They had had a committee appointed this morning to consult the feelings of he executive commit. Cc0 oi 'Ho loPuoii0di party anu they SnOulu al least wait until that committee reported. Il was clear to him that the nomination of can didate by this party without the cooperation of the republican party, would be as absurd as the nomination of Willard Fillmore. If the convention were wise they could select man who would represent at once the sentiments o the republican convention-such man as would secure the vote of a majority of the peo- pie. Cheers. It was not necessary to make a nomination in sacrifice of their sentiments, of those of the republican party either. The great mass of the republicans agreed with them They only differed about men, and they could easily agree upon man, too. He did not wish to make nomination for fun. He wanted to get ten votes for their candidate against Fill more's one, or twenty-five votes to his one. He had nothing to say against Mir. Fillmore or his followers, except indeed, such portion of then as came into the convention to disturb it. The convention came here to ofgonize hostility te the democratic party, one half of whom in thi: State have been in the State prison. Laugh ter. The republican party have never lavish
