The proceedings of yesterday were then
read by the clerk, j ; j
; Mr. Duncan, of La., moved the follow
ing: : : ;. .:;j-r , , j - ;;.
I Resolved, That a jcommittee, foj consist
of one member - from each State in the

commiuee oe selected ny the delegates 1
from each State each State reprinted
appointing its own members; and the

; Resolved, Thai thjis corjventiohiwill not
proceed to ballof for cr otherwise nomi
nate a candidate for President or Vice
President, until said committee shall have
taken final action on saidj report.
Mr. Van Trump, )f Qho, took the floor
in opposition to the resolution, and in a
speech of some length gave reasons for op
posing its passage..' . ; j ; , jl
Mr. Duncan was surprised that there
should be any opposition to the resolution.
He only wished jgerttlenien to Isliow their
bands. Who are We T Are we a band
bf br?thers arpr we National j Whigs ?
Could we trus one aiibther ? If your
principles are ript ojars, ad ours kre not
yours, it is proper we should know it, and
the sboner. we know it better.! !
Mrii Ashmum said he bd not desired to
say a Word had he not been personally ap
pealed to yesterday by the ( gentleman
from Ohio. Hej would now repeat that
he'had not conrrejd with any bo.ly, and
did not know of the! intention to offer this
resolution to-day -He thought it would
be: time to act in' the matter after the re
port of the committee on credentials had
been made. He appealed to the gentle
man not to press the resolutions if objec
tion was made ,tp it. I M i
Mr. Goodwini of California, objected to
the action on tbjs matter in consequence
of the absence of a; portion of bis delega
tion, and movedjani adjournment, j
. The question fwas then: taken on the
first resolution! of the series offered by Mr.
Duncan, and resulted as follows : j

Mr. Jesspp, of Pennsylvania, moved to
amend the pbstitute' by adding the ori
ginal amendment offered this morning.
1 he chafr said that amendmeht was al
ready a part of the resolutiohs now before
the convention. S 11 1
Mr. Edfe, of Pertnsvlvania.nsaid the
Convention had already resolved ' by a
voie to insist on the amendment; i It was.
not,! therefore, competent novirj to' amend
wnat the Convention had already bv re-
solution amended, j I Vii
Mr. Jessup said Ihe believed! that the

Cheers. The Whig party of that State
had; beertj grossly j misrepresented, and
their sentiments misconstrued.); They were
conservatve and f wished sconservative
resolutions adopted here. He believed
that the construction of I the cbmmittee on
the plan proposed would produce resolu
tions whih would receive aj unanimous
aye. HeheIieved that the delegations of
Ohio and ;Ne,vv York Were misrepresent
ed as much as the delegation from Penn.
He bad bad free jnltercourse with! the del
egations of the three great States, and he
believed that general harmony would ex
ist to some extent. I There might be some
points of tJiflerehce thjat was to be ex-!
pected. But the Whigs -of the middle
States were as sound on every question;
as pur southern brethren. , He hoped both
sections vyould compromise.
Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, said he arose
with regfet, and he should speak without;
exditemept aijid I fc6ped( the Convention;
would act with deliberation. THe agreed'
with thef gentleman from Virginia, and
believed that ivas the first attempt to con
vert this country into the wildest democ
racy. Tjhe principle now contended fori
would uproot the constitution itself. Un
der this rule little bode Island was enti
tled to as much power as the largest;
State. He knew the measure proposed
had not.been well considered by the Whig
party. It proclaimed the wildest effort
ever made to alienate one section of the;
Union from the other. Mr. D. said be had
lohg belonged to the Whig party, and he
believed; it to be the conservative party,
and he would be the last one to desert it.
He believed 4hat Us principle constituted
the foundation of j the confederacy. But
when it deserted its principles,; he would
abandon it. Mr; D. deprecated any ac
tion by which three States would be able tc
control the action of all the rest. He desi
red no discussion I He only desired thatjthe
whig party should pursue the course mark
ed but fpr them by the Convention, and he
hoped members would act wilb becoming
confidence towards each other. j
Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, said he
did not rise to make a speech, but to make
a suggestion! Ie thought this was a
prematuj-e excilerjjent pnjih immaterial
question! which was delaying the action
of the Convention. ' The committee on
credentials had not yet: concluded its la
bors. They wer here in the Convention
now, and would not retire until the dis
cussion was concluded. They could not
discbarge the important duty intrusted to
them unless they ; were afforded the op
portunity. In prjler to allow the commit
tee time to deliberate, be moved an ad
journment until ten o'clock to-morrow,
which was concured in, and the uonven
tion adjourned.
;i f -'THIRD DAY.;!-;;:
The proceedings of the preceding even
we
e read and approved.
e Jessup, of iPennsvlvania. rose to
, . . .- t . S .
nKj leave io wunuraw the amendment
offered by him yesterday afternoon allow
ing each member:bf the cbmmittee on
credentials to cast; the "electoral vote of
the State he represented. He said that
when he offered the amendment, he did
so under the impression that if it was
adopted it would tf pd to restore harmony
among the members of the Convention,
but be had since become convinced that
it would exert a contrary effectY and on
those; grounds, and -those alone, he asked
permission of the Convention to be allow
ed tb withdraw it. ji The permission was
granted. ! I
The substitute of Mr. Ewing, (allowing
each State one votej only in the commit
tee) was then put before the Convention
for its reception and carried. The reso
lution as amended fwas then put to vote
anajaaoptea. yi s ;
A motion was then made for the ap
pointment of a Committee to prepare a
suitable platform tb be! presented to the
Convention, to be adopted and endorsed
by .it, as the yiewsjknd principles ebf the
whig party of thpJUuited States. The
motjon was adopted, and the States called
upon to choose a member.
The Committee consisted bf the follow
ing gentlemen : ;f

Mr, Watts, of Vai, chairman of the com
mittee on credentials, arose and stated
that! the committee, after a protracted
session, had agreed upon a; report. He
also Mated that thd committee had receiv
ed a communication from Washington,
announcing the election of delegates from
that jcity to the Convention, and would of
fer a resolution that they be. invited to a
seatppon the platform. The resolution
was! adopted, and the del!egatesT"irom
Washington took their seats.'
The Committee ; reported in favor of
the Fillmore contestants from Vermont
and New York, arid of the Webster con
testant from the latter State.
A motion to adopt the report of the com
mittee was objected to, on the ground that
there was a minorit report from a por
tion of the committee; The report was
read It disagreed in every mstanee from
the report of the majority.
Mr. Cabell, of Florida, moved that the
report of the majority be adopted by the
Convention, upon ?which motion he per
emptorily called the previous question.
After some debate, the question was
put by Slates, anduhe Report was con
cured in by a vole of Ayes 164 ; Noes
117 : ; :
A motion was here made and carried
to adjourn until o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
Mr. Ashmun, of Massachusetts, arose and
said he was instructed by the committee on res
olutions to present a; report from lhatcommitee,
whictj be held in bis; hand, and which be beg
ged to say had, after; much deliberation ot a
conciliatory character. Conducted in the kindest
feelings, been adopted With great, though not
entire unanimity. With the leave of the Chair
man ihe would now take a position in front of
the chair, and read die resolutions he was in
slructed to present, r !
Mr. A. then read the platform, which was as
follows : j i '
Tbjs Whigs of thej United States, in Conten
tion assembled, adhering to the great conserv
alive principles by jfvhich tbey jare controlled
and governed, and nfw,; as ever, relying upon
the intelligence of te American people, with
an abiding confidence in their capacity for self
government, and ihefr continued devotion to the
Constitution and the Union, proclaim the follow
ing as their politicalfsentiments and determina
tions,!! the establishment and maintenance of
which their nationaiorganization as a party is
effected : if:
1. That the Government of the United States
is of a limited character and it is cbn6ned to
the exercise of powers expressly granted by the
ConstUutionvfand sulfa as may be necessary and
proper for carrying the granted powers into foil
execution, and that all pejwers not thus granted
or necessarily implied arje expressly reserved
to the States respeciiely and to ihe People.
2. 'The Slate government, should be held
secure in tbeir reserved rights,' and the Gener
al Government sustained in its constitutional
powers, and the UnW should be revered and
watched over! as ubd palladium of our liberties.
3.1 That while lirtigliog Jreedom every
where enlists the Jwarrrtest sympathy of ihe
Whig PrtyJ we sllii adhere to the doctrines
of the Fatbeir of bi Ceuntry, as announced in
his Farewell! Address, of keeping ourselves free
from all entilnglingalliaiicei wiih foreign eoun
tries; land of
upon foreign
impose on other countries our form of govern,
ment, by artifice or force, but to teach jj by ex.
ample, and show by our success, moderation
and justice, the blessings of self government,
and tne advantages of free insiituiionsjf i
4. That when the people make and control
tbe Government, ibey should obey its Qonsti
lution, laws and treaties, as ihey would!) retain
their self reaped, and the respect wbieh ibey
claim and win enforce from foreign powers.
5. Government should be administered with
a strict'economy, and in time of peace its ex-l
penses ought lo be derived from specific duties
and not from direct laxa; and in laying ucb
duties, sound policy requires a just disctimina
tion, whereby suitable encouragement may be
afforded to American industry, equally to all
classesand to all parts of the country, l! !
6. The Constitution vests in Congress the
power lo open and repair harbors, and ! to! re
(pove obstructions from navigable rivers, and
it is expedient that Congress, whenever such
improvements are necessary lor lha rflmmnn
defence and for the protection and facility of
commerce with foreign nations or State, hall
consider such improvements in every instance,
national and general in tbeir character.
7. The Federafaiid State Governments are
parts of one! system, alike necessary jfoiUbe
common prosperity, peace and security,' and
ought to be regarded alike with a cordial, hab
itual and immovable attachment.' Respect for
ihe authority of each, an acquiescence! in the
constitutional measures of each, are dutiek re.
quired by the plainest considerations! nation-
al, of State! and of individual welfarei j
8. That the series of acts commonly kflown
as the Compromise, including the Fugitive
Slave law, are received and acquiesced i!n by
the Whig party of the United Slates, as a set
tlement iu principle and substance zjinql set
llement of tbe subjects which they embrace;
and so far ailheJugith'e slave law is concern
ed, we will maintain the same, and insist jon its
strict enforcement until time and ; experience
shall demonstrate the nece s it y of future legisla
tion to guard against evasion of the law on the
one hand, or abuse of its power!" on thei -otb.
er ; and we deprecate all future aaiialionlof the
slavery questiou as dangerous to our peac, and
we will discountenance all efforts al the revival
or continuance oi such agitation in Congress or
out of it, whenever, wherever, and however
the attempt may be made ; and we will main
lain Ibis settlemeht as essential to the; Nation
ality of the Whig party and tbe interests of the
Union. I
The reading of the platform was frequently
interrupted by loud cheers. When the resolu
tion was read affirming the finality of the com
promise, the ball fairly shook with the applause
of ihe assembled multitude.. After order had
been in some measure restored, loud calls were
made for Mr. Choale I
Mr. Choate responded to the call and said :
I thank God that the principles I have so l long
contended for in Faneuil Hall when Faneuil
Hall was open are now this day sustained by
the highest authority I recognise the author
ity of a convention of ihe National Whig rarty
of Ihe United States. '
Mr. Choate then went on to address the
Convention ;in a speech of matchless and thrill
ing eloquence. i
Alter an; excited debate, which was partici
pated in by Mr. Anderson, of Ohio, Mr. Butts,
of Virginia and others which debate we 'amy
have, occasion to notice hereafter: !
A vote by Slates was called for. Several
members rose to address the Chair, and sever
al propositions were made. ."
The Chajr decided that any debate or motion
was out of order, because the Convention had
decided to sustain the previous question, f
The vote; was then taken by Slates on the
adopjion of the Platform, and resulted ias fol

jority of the Electoral College shall be neces
sary to a choice. 1 H

SLEEP. ! ;
; No person of active mind should try t o
vent sleep, which, in such persons,! only c
when rest is indispensable to (he contir
of health. In fact, sleep 'once in twer. j
hours is as essential to the existence of :
malia as the momentary ! respiration ci ;
air. The most unfavorable condition f.r
connot prevent its approach 1 Coach men

tumult of war. During the retreat of Sir ,
More, several of ihe British soldiers we;
ported to have fallen asleep ppon the t
and yet they continued walking onward,
most violent passion and excitement cf
cannot preserve even powerful minds
sleep; thus Alexander the Great slept t
field of Arbefa, and Napoleon on that (S
tertitz. Even stripes and torture cannct
off sleep, as crimnals have been known 1
on the ack. Noises ! which jser ve at f. ;
drive away sleep, soon become indite:

sed sleepless nights until the miil resu'i
usual noise. Homer, in jthejlUiad. c!.
represents sleep as overcoming all rr.e: ,
even the gods, excepting Jupiter alone.
The length bf Jime passed in sleepjsr

determined from ihe lime passed in si:
