The great business Of tho day on
Thursday was to work the resolutions
and Address through without debate.
The committee on resolutions had had
u stormy time over them, not getting
through until two o'clock A. ". After
they had been reported to the convcn.
tinn, u great many trind To Obtain tho
floor in order to discuss them, or OF.
fer others; but in no instance were
they recognized by tho Chair, or their
resolutions allowed to be read, except
one: Mr.. Cowan, Of Pa, succeeded
having q resolution read, because it
had been agreed upon beforehand. So
strenuously was the gag applied, that
not q speech was made during the
three sessions Of the convention, OK.
ccpt those made by Gen. Dix and SEN
ator Doolittle, on assuming the duties
Of the chair.
Their platform is comprised in ten
resolutions, occupying more space
than we can allot to them this week.
There is little in them but what all
Union men subscribe to. The only
difference between their platform and
that Of Congress is contained in the
ID and 81 resolutions. In these they
assert o principle on which they think
the rebel States are entitled to repre-
sentation in Congress, without any re.
construction. These resolutions were
prepared in Washington, sanctioned
by the President, and rushed through
the convention under the gag. The
Address was written by Fl. j. Ray
luond, ofNewYork. ltislengthy, and,

Thus ended the great amaIgamation

Andy johnson hopes to place the con.

Of his friends, the unmiti9ated rebels
