KELLER- ' The National Democratic Convention, composer! of Delegates from every State of the Union, assem bled. in pursuance of the general notice given throughout the country, at 12 o’clock yesterday morning, in the Universalist Church, on the corner of Calvert and Pleasant streets. The Committee of Arrangements had made every preparation for the accommodation and busi ness of the Convention. Together with ample facili ties lor the large Lody of Reporters, representing the* press from all parts of the Union. . The delegates having been successively admitted, as they arrived at the church, in their united capac ity presented as jespectable and as dignified a body as we have ever seen convened on similar, or any. other occasion. The familiar faces of honorable gentlemen, whose talents, elevated position, ai:d popular character, have made their namesand fame as familiar as household words throughout the country, were encountered at every glance of tl.e eye practised in the political world: whilst others composing the assembly maintained, in all appear ance. that dignified character, which, to the obscr ser, pervaded the whole. The Convention was called to order precisely at 12 o'clock, and on motion, the Hon. J. S. Bryce, of Louisiana, took the chair to preside over the Con vention until a permanent organization should be efreeted. ‘Judge Bryce, on taking the Chair, relumed thanks, in a few appropriate remarks, concluding with the expression of a hope that the proceedings would be characterised by -order—Heaven's first law.” Un motion. .Mr Samuel Treat, a delegate from Missouri, was appointed temporary Secretary. The president pm tern said, that before proceeding to business, it would be proper that the Throne' of (dace should he invoked lor a blessing on their pio ceediugs. and that oilier would now he perlb'nned by the Rev. .Mr. Kisk, who was present.' Rev. Theophilus Fisk, of Baltimon;. ihen made a very eloijuenl and appropriate prayer. Mr. I\ H. Wheeler, of North Carolina, offered the following resolution : v AY.su/ivd, Thai a committee'of into iVum each Suite, ‘-except those Slates whose tHegiiti’s an' ill ronlroN ersy.” lie appointed by the delegates from that Stale, to irpoi! the number .o/m/. jnrtht?. That said Committee he cum posed of one member from each Slate, except the State of New York, and of two members from that State; the delegates Imm eaeli State to appoint one member of said Committee, and in the case of New York, that each of the two sets of delegates present from that Stale appoint one member of said com mittee. jniy e.\itu!cil In Tt'Vi'r riihimni'id Jlcmlml. That the States be now. called for the purpose of making said appointments. Mr. Toucey. ol Connecticut, proposed Jo ameml the original resolution by inserting after the words •‘from each State.” the.word.-- "except those States whose delegates are in controversy.” and this amend, men: was accepted by Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Cone said thatthe substitute had been Tamed in accordance with the practice adopted'in IS-U. to meet the unfortunate difference which was known to exist in New York. Them were two sets of delegates from that State, ami in order that the committee might he enabled to acumderstaiuiingly jt was proper that one member of eaeli delegation trom that State should be appointed. Mr. R. P. Thompson, of New Jersey, objected to the substitute as calculated to delay the organiza tion of the Convention for several days. Mr. 0. C. Cambreleng. of New York, (barnburn er) was opposed to allowing any committee to de cide the claims of the Now Yoik delegates. He desired these claims to be determined by the Con vention. ami hoped the gentleman from Georgia would so modify his substitute as to permit the Convention first to be organized. Mr. Cone had no particular objection, but it ap peared to him that, the New York difficulty-should be settled before proceeding to the choice of per manent officers. Mr. Dickinson, ot New York, (Old Hunker.) believed that the resolution of the gentlemen front Georgia, would answer all purposes necessary. It •raised no invidious distinctions, hut Heated both parties with equal consideration. He thanked that gentleman for bringing it forward.. and' hoped it would be adopter!. The delegation with which he was connected would be satisfied. .Mr. Hunhegan of Indiana, said all had come to gether *in the spirit ol harmony, and lie hoped no other feeling would prevail. But in all deliberative bodies it was necessary that they riiunld have some rules for their government He ilwreibu- moved to lay both the resolution and the substitute on the table tor the present, with a view 10 the adoption of the rules of the House of Representatives oi the United States. Mr. Ilallett. ol Boston, said they were -not tin- House of Representatives, but tin.- lepicsentatives of the people themselves. After some further conwr-aiion, between Mr. Con- and Mr. Hanuc-gmi. the resolution and substi twtf were for the present laid on the table. t u enable the latter to oiler the follmvinn ; /icfr/rM./.'That each delegate present, and every person claiming to be a delegate, shall pledge him sell to support tin; nominees oi this Convention, and to useall honorable and ju-t means to secure their election. T. (\ WILEY. tt-13 Mr. Preston Killg.nl New. York, (Barubiin.erj said that it was tin* first duty of the Convention to organise. He was informed that the seats of the delegation oi ■which lie was a member were contes ted. He believed that the seat he occupied was legally held by him, but he hail declined voting, and should so continue to do until that question was decided. Mr. Cone said that they could adopt m > roles until they knew who’were the delegates by which those rules were to be adopted—who entitled to act—who entitled lo \ ote. When that was deckled, they would be ready to go into tin* ( invention. and not beiorc. Air. Yancey, of Alabama, moved to lav Mr. Han 'negan’s resolution 011 the table. Catri-J. .Mr. Yancey then i tJ < >\<“l that the original reso lution and substitute I, t .M r . (Muc b- i.i!;m from the table and again read, and they were taken up.and read accordingly. Air. Drake, of Ohio, referred to New York as the greatest State in the Union, and to the importance that she should have her full weight in the conven tion. It was necessary, however, in his opinion, that the question as to which set is entitled to their seats should be first settled. The delegates from Ohio desired but one vote in the connniliee.iuiul lie presumed such was the case with the New York delegation, lie hoped that the convention would look upon New York without regard to her numor cial strength, and until this question was decided, that neither set should be allowed a representation. He proposed a resolution to exclude both sets from the right to be represented 4n the committee, upon which the Chair put the question, in the midst of much confusion, and declared to be carried. Mr. Cambreleng insisted that lie had the floor before the question was put. and desired to be heard before it was decided. The chair said it was now too late. Air. Preston King appealed from the decision of the chair, but withdrew the appeal to allow Air. Yancey to move a reconsideration. JAMES BOON, MICHAEL HANVEY. tl-14 Mr. Touccy said there would be no difficulty about the proposition. The gentleman from Ohio had proposed a resolution, upon which, by mistake, the question had been taken without allowing any one an opportunity to make an amendment. It was thercibrc proper that the vole should be recon sidered. After some further remarks from Afessrs. Ran toul, Yancey and Hannegan, in the course of which the latter observed that the Utica delegates desired to be heard before the Convention, the vote was re considered, *nd Mr. Yancey proposed an amend From the Baltimore Sun PROCEEDINGS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. ment to the substitute, which was accepted by Mr Cone. Air. W heeler proposed to accept the substitute of -Mr. Cone as a modification of his resolution. Mr. Bdyley made a few remarks as to the order in which amendments should be considered, and in sisted that the amendment of the gentleman from Connecticut, •( Mr. Toucey) as accepted, was pan of the original resolution. 1 he resolution and substitute w ere again rend. Mr. I ihlen. barnburner, desired that the substi tute should be so modified as to coniine the investi gation and the report of the committee to the facts, without the expression of anv opinion as to which set is entitled to a scat. And he moved so to amend. They wished to be heard bejore the convention as to the validity of their right to represent the Democ racy ot New York. They deemed it proper that the committee should investigate the facts, but that the convention should decide upon the' merits ot the case. Mr. Cone thought that the resolution in its pres ent shape would accomplish the object desired by the gentleman, but he had no objection to accept his proposition as a further modification. The gen tleman seemed to think that they were not to be heard by the convention. That was a mistake. E.'t if the convention were to go into examination of all the evidence, they would have a long duty to perform. For this reason, he hoped the convention would decide on his resolution, as amended. Mr. Preston King had no doubt that the.conven tion intended to' act fairly, and was proceeding to express his ,views, when Mr. Cone stated that the resolution, as modified, met precisely the views of the gentleman from New York, and Mr. King called for the reading again, and it was read accordingly. Air. Bright, of Indiana, expressed the opinion that the difficulty might be satisfactorily arranged in a few hoim, by the adoption of the resolution, as mollified, of the gentleman from Georgia. But. if the proposition of the gentleman from New York, as he understood it, were adopted, it would take ten days. A her the report of the committee had been presented, it would then be proper for each delegation to be heard befoie the convention. He moved to lay the amendment of Mr. Tilden on the table. The chair pul the question on thin motion, mid if w tus decided in the ntiirnmtive. Air.

They asked only to he lu'md ill the convention, and it was tor thu convention to de cide, They merely wished that the convention would decide upon the farts and not upon the ufnn inn.* ot' ;t committee. Mr. Dickinson desired, in tliis warm weather, tu keep cool on this subject. He had heard noth ing of any plots or counterplots, and believed that the convention would decide properly. . It was no doubt a question of importance to the democratic party, and probably to another paity. If admitted, their delegation would give them their best servi ces; if not, they would give them a little more room. The committee's room would be open to all interested parties.’ They were willing to submit their claims to the decision of the committee, and he hoped that then both parties would be heard by the convention. Air. Bright obtained the tioor, and moved the previutis question, which was sustained. The rul>3timi<- ot Mi. font-, an modiliod. agreed to. and the resolution so amended was, thru adopted, in the words following:— ilesolvct. "That a committee be appointed to ex amine the credentials of delegates, and »o repoit to this body the number of votes to which each State is entitled, and the number and the names of the delegates present irom each State who are entitled to seats iii this convention.

Air. Cameron explained, that to comply with the request would be but an‘act of courtesy. The motion to lay on the table was negatived, and the communication was referred to the com mittee on credentials, to comply with the request or not, as they may deem proper. 'ldle States were then called, and the following delegates nominated andappointed as the committee on credentials. • &<\ as provided by the foregoing resolution Maine—Chailee Andrews.

It was nut his purpose to throw a I!rebrand into the com ention. The time had been when the great State of New York siuml luivmost in the ranks of demoeracy. But now. he regretted to say. it was far difliireut. lie had spo ken under excitement, but he could not go into the committee without makfjig the distinct declaration now. that his feelings were adverse to tin* Barn burner?. thst the com ention might decide whether he was a competent juror. Mr. Preston King inquired the reasons which had induced the gentleman to prejudge the question ! What were his grounds, and what his objections to the delegates? Mr. Moses replied, substantially, that the other delegation had expressed their determination, whether admitted or not. to abide the decision of the convention, and to support its nominees, while the delegation of which he (M. King) was a mem ber. had declined to make any such pledges. Mr. Moses expressed his readiness to withdraw from the committee, hut the convention refused to excuse him. Mr. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, moved that a com mittee of one from each delegation be appointed to report officers for the permanent organization of the convention, but a motion to adjourn prevailed, and the convention adjourned to C> o'clock, P. M, AFTERNOON SESSION The convention assembled pursuant to adjourn ment,. at C» o'clock, and were called to order by the President pro Inn. of the convention. The galleries were filled to overflow, but few having room to seat themselves, notwithstanding the excessive heat of the weather. The President stated that the question pending before "the convention at the time of adjournment, was on a motion to appoint a committee of one from each*State. to report on the proper mode of a permanent organization. The question having been called for, the resolu tion was adopted unanimously. * On motion, it was resolved that the committee be appointed by the delegates from each Stale. The Secretary then proceeded to call the States, when Mr. Walworth, of New \ork. inquired whether New Y'ork would be called, and was answered by the President in the negative. ’ Mr. Walworth then inquired whether it would not be more in order to wait until the committee on the qualification of members should report, in order that New York 'might have a voice in the organization of the convention. I'he President replied that the convention had decided to proceed at once to the appointment of the committee empowered to report officers for the permanent organization of the convention, and di rected the Clerk to call the States so that the dele gates should name the members of the committee. On calling the States, the following gentlemen were announced as the choice of the different dele gates to serve on the committee : Maine—John L. Cutler. • New Hampshire—Reuben Davis.

Mr. Huiiuegan then concluded by reminding the convention that Air: Yancey, ot Alabama, was pres ent, who was much more capable than lie was u! enlightening them on democratic principles. Mr. Yancey having been enthusiastically called on, mounted the stage, and addressed the convention for about twenty minutes, in a strain of eloquence that drew forth the'most enthusiastic expression ot' delight from the convention as well a.s the audience. liis anecdotes weie most happy, and wtdljokl. and caused the best feeling to pervade the convention. Hon. bam Houston, the hero of San Jacinto. wa« then called on to address the convention, and on as cending the platform was received with enthusiastic cheers. He proceeded t<> compare democratic principles, with tire principles professed by their opponents, and to defend and sustain the administration in it* course with regard to the war. and other matters of general controversy between the two parties. The President pro tern, of the convention, Hon. J !>. Bryce, of Louisiana, followed Gen. Houston in a few eloquent remarks in support of democracy, and demociatic u> the great and funda mental principles of liberty. The conßniltee, how ever. having returned.-he closed his address mther abruptly. Gen. Howard, of Maryland, ruse and informed the convention, that the commiitee on credentials had intrusted him to ask Jo be permitted to report, in part, and ask leave to continue in session during the 'Session of the convention to complete the* transaction ol the business entrusted to them. The report, in pari, which he was instructed To make, gave a list ot the delegates from all the .States of the Union except New York, and the committee desired more time to enable them to report on the qualifications of those claiming to be delegates from that Stab- The clerk then proceeded to read the icport. which was merely a list ol the District and State delegates from all the States except New Y’ork. On closing the reading of the report, in part, m the committee on credentials, the report was taken up for the action of the convention. .Mr. Edgerton. from Ohio, asked, before the \oie be taken on that report, that the credentials of the delegates from South Carolina be read to the Con vention. That the question arose before the com mittee on credentials, and that it appeared that lie was elected by the Georgetown District, and it did not appear further than by his own declaration that he was empowered to cast the electoral vote of South Carolina in this Convention, by the Dem ocratic party of that State. Mr. Yaney. of Alabama, desired that the Chair state the question now before the convention. Mi. Mead, of Virginia, moved that the whole subject be laid on the table. Mr. Edgerton, of Ohio, for the purpose of bring ing the subject direct before the convention, moved that the State of South Carolina be stricken out from the roll ol delegates, and that Mr. Comman der be entitled’ to cast but one vote, that of the Georgetown district ol South Carolina, which alone he is elected to represent. Mr. Mead, of Virginia, again moved that the whole subject be laid on the table. Gen. Howard, of Maryland, stated that the com mittee had reported the subject, to the Convention, and that when the State ot' South Carolina wi:, called on t>> vote, the question would come up lie lore the Convention, as to the number of votes, and not rill then. Senator Bright rose and desired Gen. Comman der, of South Carolina, would state to the Conven tion the real position in which he stood to the body, and the circumstances under which he was elected in ouler that a full understanding of the matter might be h.id belbre they were called upon to act on the report of the committee. Gen. Commander then rose and stated that he belonged to the Georgetown district of South Caro lina. the Fourth Congressional District of the State. That a general meeting of the democrats of the State had been called at Georgetown. That mem bers of the party from all parts, of the State were invited to be present, and that he was elected as a delegate by that meeting or convention, to represent the State in the Democratic National Convention with the understanding that he should have full power to cast the nine votes to which the state was entitled to. He cautioned the democracy how they acted on this question. It was his opinion, as well «6 that of those who had sent him here; that South Caro lina had gone somewhat astray from the democrat ic fold, and it was lus desire to bring her bade to the old land-marks. Ho was here to use all proper exertions for that purpose. He was the people’s man and a man of the people He claimed one vote m this convention as his undoubted right but he also believed that he was entitled by all prece dent to the whole nine. There was several dele gations from other States that were not full, but no one doubted the right of the delegates present from those States to cast the full electoral vote to which their States were entitled. NO. 18, He instanced North Carolina and Mississippi, whose delegations were notj complete, whilst other States had more delegates present than they were entitled to votes. As a member of the committee j 011 credentials, he had neither seen or heard any : credentials read that were more full and compre hensive than his own, and ha had full confidence - that the convention would acknowledge the validi : ty of them. ' J°nes. ot 1 ennesst e. called the previous I question on the ieport ol 4 the committee on cre -1 dentials. Senator Blight then rose and claimed that he had i not resigned the-floor. but lijad merely given way to ; the gentleman from South {Carolina, in order that Hie might have an opportunity to make a statement : to the convention. ! He then proceeded, and j stated that the present | position ol affairs on the part of South Carolina was I most propitious, and he was much gratified-to see | a representative from that State in the Convention. ' He also hoped that no uukinduesa towards that 1 gentleman should be Construed from the motion he | was about to make. He was unwilling, however, that he should wield nine votes in this body, and , moved as an amendment to the report of the com ; niittee on credentials, that Mr. Commander be ai i lowed to cast but one vote in this convention. Mr. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, .moved that all the report, except that .relative; to South Carolina, be ! adopted, and that that be left to the future action ■ of t he convention. • j Mr; Jones, of Tennessee, moved the previous i question on the report of thfe committee as it stood, • giving Air.
