ourday.
Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. %, 1851.
The first session Of this Convention was held in
this city at o'clock p. m. Delegates were pres
ent from Illinois, Indiana Ohio, New. York. Mis-.
souri, Michigan and other States. There was q
larger attendance than was expected on the first
day. DR.. Elliott of indianapolis WAS appointed
Chairman pro tenn, and the Rev. c. W. Dennison
Of Buffalo, Secretary. The session was occupied
with preliminary arrangements, such as the appoint
ment of committees dc. Some discussion took
place in reference to the construction of certain pas
ssges in the Call, especially III regard to the term
compensation. There were two or three gentlemen
present who wished to become members Of the
Convention, but we're opposed to the principle OF
compensation. 1t was, Of course, decided that no
one could be admitted to take part in the proceed
ings who did not fully approve and adopt this mpor-
tant principle upon which they are to be based.
Many interesting and animated remarks were elicit
ed in the course of this unexpected discussion.
Those Of the Hon. Gerrit Smith were peculiarly
impressive and called forth burst of applause from
the general audience for the enlarged and patriotic
sentiments he expressed. Judge Wilson of the u.
S. District Court, who was among the listeners,
was observed to participate with much animation in
this expression Of sympathy.
Letters were read from the Rev. Dr. Mott and
the Rev. DR.. Abel Stevens Of New York: Prof. Sill
Imam and the Rev. DR.. Halves, Conn; the Rev.
DR.. Timothy Cooley, Mass. Prof. T. c. Upham,
Me-: the Rev. +. NJ. Post, st. Louis, Mo-; the
Hon. Erastus Fairbanks, VT; John w. Tatum,
ESQ, Wilmington Del, and other gentlemen from
derent parts of the country expressing their hear
ty concurrence with the proposed objects of the
Convention. The reading of these letters was lis
tened to with great interest, and their enlightened
and patriotic sentiments were well calculated to
give the right tone and spirit to the proceedings
which are to follow. G. II. b.
