 "zo the Amer1can Party of the Union.
 "The undersigned, delegates to the national nominating convention, now in session at Phi ladelphia, find themselves compelled to dissent from the principles avowed by that body. And holding the opinion, as they do, that the resto- ration of the Missouri compromise, demanded by the freemen of the north, is redress of an undenable wrong and the insertion of it, in spirit at least indispensable to the repose of the country, they have regarded the refusal of that convention to recognise the we'll defined opinions of the north and of the Americans of the free States upon this question as a denial of their right and a rebuke of their sentiments "They have, therefore, withdrawn from the | COIlN cUIlOu, ItIuSnS tO in the proposed nominations, and now address themselves to the Americans of the country, especially of the States they represent to iusti- iy and approve their action; and to the end that nominations conf rming to the overruling sen- timents of the country on the great issue may be regularly and auspiciously made, the under signed propose to the Americans in all the States to assemble in their several State orga- nizations, and that delegates be sent to the convention to meet in the city of New York on Thursday, the 16th of June next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United States"
 discussion of a spicy character followed. Some of the delegates decided in favor of uniting with the republicans, while others said that if they did so, they could not remain in 1 the organization
 | The protest was adopted and signed by the thirty-three delegates whose names are above given as constituting this assembage, the fol- lowing additional clause having been first in- serted on motion of Mir. FORD, viz: That the admission in the national coun- ell and nominating convention of the delegates from Louisiana representing a Roman Catho- llc constituency, absolved every true American from all obligation to sustain the action of either of said bodies.,
 Wm. Penn Clark, of Iowa. D. w. w. Stam- 6auSh, of Ohio; Thomas Spooner, of Ohio; Charles Nichols, of Ohio; John Johnson, of Ohio; J. Il. Baker of Oho signed, with the following additional protest: '" We concur in the secession from the con ventlon, but do not concur in the call for a con- ventlon, believing that the whole north ought to unite in a common organization to resist the aggression of slavery.' PROTEST OF THE GEORGE LAW DELEGATES.
 The delegates from the State of New York who supported and voted for Mir. George Law joined the seceders. The following is a CODY of their protest:
 We, portion of the delegates to the na- tional American Convention from the State of New York, protest against the Presidential mo- mlnatlon made by that convention upon the following grounds:
 FTst.-The nominee is not member of the American party; he has never been inside o1 council room, and no act of his life, no word spoken or line written by him of which we have any knowledge, indicates that he sym pathizes with that party, or that he would carry out it's principles.
