Mr., Wimot, of Pa, objected to States being
represented by vote in the Convention which
have no organized party. He moved that those
States be referred back to that committee.
On Mr.. Wilmot's motion lively aud rather
pointed discussion arose, which was led off by
Ex-Governor Reeder, of Pa, who thought those
States deserving of tenfold credit foT being
here. He thought that Republican Conven-
ton would never disfranchise representatives
from slave States They are Republicans here
and at home, and Representatives of their party.
He was followed by Mr.. Armour, of Maryland
who said, that he stood before the Convention a
freeman and Republican from Maryland. He
claimed to be as good Republican as the gen.
tleman from the Peoples Party of Pennsylvania.
Maryland, he said, could poll 1000 votes, and
they must be organized, and the North must
traterniZe with them. He was somewhat saw
age at the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Wyse of District of Columbia vindicated
his constituency and his District in an eloquent
manner. He claimed the right Of citizenship
The Administration had trampled them down,
but they had come up here to resist it.
Messrs. Blakeley of kentucky, Wilder of Kan.
sas, Blair of Maryland, and Gov. Cleveland Of
Connecticut, spoke on the SUBJECT, taking strong
grounds in favor of the rights of their States to
be represented, and against Mr.. WllmotS mo-
ton.
Mr.. Philips of Kansas said that Kansas and
the Republican party were born together, and
that the party was baptised in the blood of her
sons. 1t has been said that Kansas is not a
State. In bearing aloft the banner of liberty,
Kansas has been kept out of the Union. If she
had been admitted, she to day would have been
strength in the land. She does not expect to
be alienated from the Republican party Moth
ing can ALLEVIATE her.
Mr.. Hackland of Indiana. objected to Texas
being represented. He wanted to know who
sent those delegates here.
Mr.. Chandler of Texas, said that the Republi-
cans in Texas, although in their infancy, We're
hopeful children. They came here with no ak
es to grind. He wanted the Pennsylvanians to
enlist under the banner of Republicanism, be-
fore they accused the Texans Of not being Re-
publicans.
Mr.. Goodrich of Minnesota was in favor of
more work and less talk.
The motion with several amendments
which had got on, was put and lost.
Mr.. Lowry. of Pennsylvania, moved
to recommit the whole report and take
vote by States.
A division voUe was taken, by a call
of the States, resulting in 275 1-2 ayes
to 172 IL nays-So the report was re-
committed to the Committee.
Convention adjourned to o'clock,

as and the other slave states admitted
to the Convention on satisfactory bas-

port of the committee on Resolutions
and Platform reported, Through its Chair

The Republican Platform.
Resoloed j; That we, the delegated
representatives of the Republican cleo
tors of the United States, in Convention
assembled. in the discharge Of the duty
we owe to our constituents and our
country, unite in the following declara-
tions:
1st. That the history of the nation
dnring the last four years, has fully es-
tablished the propriety and necessity of
the organization and perpetuation of the
Republican party; and that the causes
which called it into existence are per-
manent in their nature, and now, more
than ever before, demand its peaceful
and constitutional triumph
2. That the maintenance of the prin-
ciples promulgated in the declaration of
independence and embodied in the
Federal Constitution, is essential to the
preservation of our Republican institu-
tons and that the Federal Constitu-
ton, the rights of the States, and the
Union of the States must and shall be
preserved.
3. That to the Union of the States
this nation owes its unprecedented in
crease in population, its surprising de-
velopment of material resources, its
rapid augmentation of wealth, its hap
plness at home and its honor abroad /;
and we hold in adherence all schemes
for Disunion, come from whatever
source they may. And we congratulate
the country that no Republican mem
bers ofCongress have uttered or counte-
nanced the the threats of Disunion so
often made by democratic members,
without rebuke and with applause from
their political associates and we de-
nounce those threats of disunion, in case
OF popular overthrow of their ascend
