1t was then decided to take up the reso-
lutions separately. The first second, third
and fourth were adopted without dissent
Mr.. Goodell moved to amend the fifth by de-
claring that slavery shall die, instead Of
saying that it is dead. For, said the mover,
although it islegally dead, the fact is that
there are over 100000 of people now en-
slaved in the Southern States. He moved
to substitute these words: "That slavery
must be suppressed by the destruction OF
| its motive cause, slavery" Lost after de-
bate, and the resolution was adopted. The
9th, 9TH, 9Th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 18th and 18th
were then adopted.
Col Moss moved that the Convention now
proceed to the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President upon this
platform. Carried.
Mr.. Ransom moved to reconsider, be-
lieving that it would be better policy to
wait until after the Baltimore Convention.
MIR. Denvers, Of Troy, seconded the mo-
ton, believing that any nomination at this
time would be premature and calculated to
defeat the very objects of this Convention.
He debated at length in eulogy of General
oio anu liSlSUCu bildU III WOulu UC uU-
wise and unfair, if not suicidal, to press O
nomination now.
Col. Moss moved that John C. Fremont
be declared the nominee of the convention
for President Of the United States.
Mr.. Ransom moved an amendment, that
a nominating convention be held in Cleve-
land on the first Wednesday In September,
each State to have representation equal
to that in Congress. Lost-only nine in the
affirmative. Mr.. Powell, of Washington,
moved to adjourn over to the radical con-
vention at Baltimore on the 9th of June.
| Declared out of order.
The nomination of John G. Fremont was
then made by reclamation.
Gen. Cochrane, B. Gratz Brown and
General Butler were then named for Vice
President.
Mr.. Cochrane said that ithad been deemed
wise to choose him President of the Con-
vention. He was satisfied with that honor
satisfied with the proceedings he saw
i'll them the establishment of great party,
and henceforth he would be content to la
Dor, not for party success, but for the SAL
vation of the country. Yesterday, for the
first time, he had heard his name mentioned
in connection with the nomination for Vice
President. He doubted the wisdom of such
choice. 1t was his clear convection that
with such platform, If the Convention will
take some gentleman that's fairly identified
with the war worn Democracy of the coun-
try, and place him side by side with its
chosen champion, it will establish great
and glorious party, whose principles, found
Q upon Truth, Justice and Freedom, must
succeed.
Heartily indorsing these principles, he
begged leave to retire.
Mr.. Gilbert, taking the chair, the ques-
tion was put, and the nomination of Gen.
Cochrane confirmed, with but few voices In
the negative.
Messrs. Gilbert, Moss, Greiner, Butz and
johnson were appointed committee to re-
port a plan of party organization, and a
name for the party.
Recess till 9P. NJ.
