THIRD DAYS PROCEEDINGS

PHILADELPHIA, June l9, 1856.
The Convention met at ten o'clock. There
was not quite so much excitement as ON the
preceding day, and the benches were rather
thin until some time after the hour of meeting
The attendance Of outsiders was as great as
ever.
The most important business was the settle.
ment of the difficulty with George Laws North
American Convention, whose communication
had first been tabled, and then taken up and
referred to the Committee on Resolutions. This
committee had long and anxious session, and
conferred with George Laws committee, head.
ed by George himself 1t was whispered about
the Convention that no conclusion had been
arrived at, and that the indignant North Amer.
leans had bolted to New York in the first train.
leaving two or three persons to watch this Con.
vention, and send its proceedings to the North
American patriots over the wires. The trouble
In this Convention was between the East and
the West. The Eastern men were afraid. Il
they STAYED off the North Americans. thew
would lose all the New England States, where
the Know Nothing voters are nearly all oppo
sed to Fillmore. The Western men said that
the Germans were all ready to vote this ticket
but II they knew that the Know Nothings were
especially petted, they would hang back, and
give their votes to Buchanan. Thus the Con
vention found itself between Scylla and Cha
rybidis, with no immediate chance to escape
destruction
At half past ten o'clock, the Chair (Mr. Lane
of lndianal called out, "The Convention will
come to order"
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Beebe
The reverend gentleman's prayer was rather
long, but very good.
The North American business was passed
over. "a
The Chair. The FIRST business in order is tn,
reading of the following resolution:
Resotccd, That National Convention O
young men, in favor of free soil, free labor, fre
men, and Fremont loud applause1 for tn
Presidency, be held in the city of New York i,
the month of September next, subject to tn,
call of the National Committee.
The resolution was adopted.
MIR. Whelpley, of New Jersey, moved that tn
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-06-26

Mr.. Patterson, of New York, asked the Con-
vention to listen to short speeches from the
New York delegation, one a representative of
| the German population, and the other a son of
| a very eminent man in the history of the EN-.
pire State, Mr.. John A. King.
The Chairman announced the following COM
mittee to notify the candidates of their nomina-
| ton, and request their acceptance of the same
Messrs. Ashly, of Ohio; Blocker, of New York:
Hornblower, of New Jersey; Hoar, of Massa-
| chusetts Stevens, of Pennsylvania Bingham,
of California; Cleveland and Aldrich, of Con-
| necticut; with Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, as Chair
man.
Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, mounted the
platform, and asked if they had ever heard of
Vermont being sick? He said that she never
was sick but once, and that was when she mis-
| carried with Stephen A. Douglas. One of the
original resolutions upon Slavery was framed
by Judge Harrington, of Vermont, who said that
he would never believe that man was slave
till he had seen bill of sale of him from God
Almighty. BE pledged ten thousand majority
for Fremont in Vermont, and said that if that
was not enough, he would add ten thousand
more. [Applause.l
| Judge Test, Of Indiana, said that his State
delegation was at first equally divided between
Mclean and Fremont, but there is no division
now. Indiana would give from $4,000 to 5000
majority for Fremont and Dayton. He had
lived forty-six years in the State, and he wanted
them to see next fall whether he was right.
He denounced Stephen A. Douglas, and prom
ised that they would not only give majority
for Fremont and Dayton, but elect two United
States Senators this fall
Judge Hoadly, of Ohio, pale gentleman,
and rather young and enthusiastic for Judge,
got upon the platform, and said that they had
placed Ohio on the right in the Convention, and
she would head the column in November by
rolling up majority of 100000 Applause.
He read letter from Mr.. Reemelin, gentle
man who had never voted upon the Republican
ticket, but who now predicted the triumph of
Fremont.
Governor Kent, of Maine, was the next speak.
er. DE said that the star of the East would shine
brighter next November, and the State of Maine

/ never heard one word against him-one soil
tary word. Cheering. Nominate him, and
Am the man to get up here and move that we
unanimously take him as our standard bearer.
Loud applause. All ask, gentlemen, is to
do what we are sent here for-to interchange
opinions. We have nothing to give this time
Before, we have always had something to give,
and we thought we were comforting something
upon a msn. Now are looking for q man
who will give us, and give the country, some
thing-and that 81 netting is success. Why
is il that the name of William H. Seward
Loud applause drowned while it expressed
the remainder Of the sentence. 1t is because
he is the most devoted friend TO his country
loving his country more than any other man.
And il is only because we are told that be can
not carry Pennsylvania that we sacrifice him.
But, gentlemen, ask us to take any man who is
no stronger in Pennsylvania, and we will say,
in Justice to our principles, we could not make
the sacrifice. Now. make this remark for the
purpose of showing that Of New York have
but one common ohiect-that of success We
can defer until better hour the informal bal
lot which is proposed. (Applausel
Ex-Governor Kent, of Maine, hoped that the
proposition to hold q conference would be con-
Cured in. He and his colleagues had their
preferences, but they all felt disnterested de-
termination to go for that man who should
best unite the great forces which oppose the
Administration and the extension of Human
Slavery. Cheers. They were willing to CO
operate, but they wanted to understand the va
rious conflicting opinions and statements, to
ascertain what was the truth, the best course
TO be pursued, and the man to be nominated
The time had come, and the man was coming
iCheers Let us. then, have all the light that
can be thrown upon the subject They had
tine enough. There was no haste-and mis-
take might be fatal 1t was the turning point
in the controversy. In conclusion, Governor
Kent offered the following resolution:
Resolued, That a Committee of three from
each State and one from each Territory be ap
vointed by the several State and Territorial
Neg.tions, for the purpose of meeting in gen
conference for interchange Of opinion, this

ton would be more acceptable to the people |
represent than any other living man. allude
to William ID. Seward. Protracted cheers Sir,
In the intercourse we of the State of New York
have had, the question came up, what name
should be presented to this Convention as the
favorlte OF the State? And with one accord,
with single solitary exception, W. III. Seward
was declared to be the choice of the delegation.
Sir, nothing would give me, and the State of
New York, greater pleasure than to do Justice
TO her honored son. He has done good and
great service to his State while he was the Ex-
ecutive. Cheers. In lS49 he was the candi-
date OF his political party for Senator of the
United States, and he received in the caucus
that nominated him SO out of the 100 votes
given, and was declared to be the nominee of
the party, and was elected. How we'll he has
discharged his duties there, it is unnecessary
for me, to speak, loud cheers, further than
that he has done it most fearlessly and faith
fully, and stand here to bear witness that he
has at this day the strength of New York. In
1855, without his solicitation or the solicitation
of anybody in his behalf, he was with very great
unanimity reelected TO the position of United
States Senator. Cheers. He was my first
choice but desire to say here, that whoever
may be the nominee Of this Convention, Mr..
Seward and his friends will be among the fore.
most to support that nomination. Cheers. My
object in rising was to perform painful duty
to withdraw the name of William II. Seward
from the canvass. Cries of "No! noi"l
take the responsibility of doing it by request Of
his friends; and if gentlemen then vote for
William 81. Seward, they will only do what
would like to do myself, were it not that the
delegation had requested me to withdraw his
name. Loud cheers.
The proposition for a conference was then
withdrawn by the mover
The question on going into on informal bal
lot was then put to vote and carried bya large
majority. Cheers.
Judge Spaulding, of Ohio next obtained the
floor. He said that he had been requested tc
withdraw from the present controversy the
name of q man whom he had intimately known
for forty years, than whom better and pureI
man did not live. Cheers. He would, how
ever, first read the letter he had received from
the gentleman himself
