The first day of the Convention was occu pied in organizing, which was done by selec ting Gov. Morehead ot North Carolina for President, and a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries'. Various preliminary mat ters were then discused, and committees &e., appointed, when the Convention adjourned. In tha evening, of the second day, after great wafmth and excitemant between the Clay and Taylor men, in regard to the vote of delegates for Texas, Arkansas and Suulh Carolina, the nominations were made and I'm balloting? commenced: SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

I nominate as a candidate for President, Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts. Gov. Kent, of Maine On behalf of the people of the Union, I nominate General Zachary Taylor. Here the most enthusiastic applause broke out from the floor of the Convention and the galleries, which lasted many minutes. When it had somewhat subsided, Mr. Blunt, of New York, said Mr. President, on behalf of the Whigs of tho Union, I nominate Henry Clay. Here the applause again broke out from floors and galleries, which lasted as long as tho previous Taylor demonstration, and was equally as loud. Mr. Wales, of Delaware, nominated John M. Clayton, of Delaware. Mr. Reese, of Ohio, said he had a letter from Judge McLean, authorizing him towith draw his name if it was presented. THE FIRST BALLOT TAYLOR AHEAD. The Convention then proceeded to the bal lot amidst great excitement in the galleries, at first applauding almost every vote. Tho Stales worn allowed no more votes th in there were district delegates present. Thus, S.mth Carolina having but two dele gates present, was allowed but two votes its full complement was nine : where there were more than the full complement, the electoral vote only was given. The Delegates of Louisiana gave the whole vote of Texas, for 1 ay lor. 1 ho second dis trict of Missouri, the district which Col.

THE 8F.COND BALLOT TAYLOR GAINING. On this vole the chances were watched v. ith silence and anxiety.

Over fifty gentle men sprung to their foot and moved to ad lourn until nine o'clock this morning. . Cries of "No 1 No ! Go on" "another bal, lot" "adjourn 1 adjourn '.""put the ques tion" "vote it down" "let's go" were heard from all part of tho room. Tha President "The motion to adjourn iu order I shall put H.'J..

It is too late forlhe yeas and nays can be taken at anytime." - The President "It is impossible to main tain any motion during the-noisc and unless members arc seated." . Notwithstanding this announcement, the confusion and 'noise lasted over live minutes, during which time tho President sat "down, not being able to make himself heard. At the lirst lull in the storm, he said, "owing to the confusion, I declare Ihe meeting adjourn ed." Lnuding huzzing greeted this an nouncement from a portion of the members, and each one putting on his hat prepared to go off, and the premises were soon evacuated. THIRD DAY..

Mr. King spoke on adjournment. New York wanted to adjourn. Mr. Colier, of New York, came to consult with his colleagues from other States. He had done his best to present tho name of Tay lor, but he desired to say that the wish and vote of the Convention - would meet no ob jection from him. For himself ho thought New York would support the nomination. Tho Convention should now proceed at once to nominate the Vice Presideut. He had warned his Whig brethren about his nomination and against it, but there shall be no rebellion against the nomination of the nominee of the Conven tion, as far as he is concerned. He nomina ted for Vice President, Milliard Fillmore, of New York. The motion of adjournment here was with drawn. A Delegate of South Carolina, gave his hearty approval to all that had been done the candidate had been fairly nominated. Mr. Allen frdm Maas. said that he could not give his consent on th part of his State. The discipline of the South again had pre vailed. The North will spnrn the bribe of fered her of the Vice President, aa a misera ble boon. I say that tho Whig party of the United States is here and henceforth dissolv ed. (Tremendous hisses and confusion.) We've struggled to preserve it as long' aa we could do it with honor.

We spurn- the -nominee o the Convention ami t tell you that Massachu setts will spurn the bribe that is attempted to be offered Ker, (alluding to I tne proposed nomination of Abbott Lawrence for Vice President.) Groat confusion and hissing, with some cheers, were here heard. j A delegate V Ohio asked that Taylor pledge himself to abide by the nomination of Ihe Whig party! Let Taylor pledge himself to its principles against "no extension of slavery" (enthusiastic applause) "protec tion of American industry"' (cries of "sit down, sit down !") The gentleman asked if he was to be gagged T (Cries of "no, no." Motion to adjourn lost. Mr. Johnson of Penn. said he' had been the iindnviating friend of Scott-j-(Chair called Mr. J. to order. It was moved again to support the order of the day lost. A gentleman from Ohio ap appealed from the Chairs decision, with ex treme veh 'nience, but finally desisted, amidst many cries of "sit down !" Mr. Gentry thought an adjournment abso lutely necessary. A motion to suspend Ihe rules for 3 hours was made, lost, made again, lost again. Order of tha day called. Motion to adjourn till one o'clock was lost. Motion for a recess for half an hour was lost. The Secretary here called ihe roll. Mr. Mitchell of Mississippi, nominated Abbott Lawrence of Massachusetts, for Vice President. The following named gentlemen were also nominated; J. M. Clayton of Delaware, George Evans of Maine, Tlios. Ewing of Ohio, Robert C. Wiuthrop of Massachusetts, Win. A. Seward of New York, John Young of New York. (A motion to adjourn fori hour was lost.) Mr. Choate. of Mass., having left the Con vention in consequence of some unavoidable cause, Mr. Sprague, of that State, was unani mously substituted iu his place. Mr. Seward's name was withdrawn. Mr. Sergeant, of Pa., was nominated. Hamilton Fish, ditto. . T. Butler King withdrawn. Ohio withdrew the name of Ewing, of Ohio. Ohio wisbvd no sugar plums from the Con vention so said a delegate who arose at this time. Mr. Ashmun, of Mum., withdrew llie name of Mr. Wiuthrop. So far as Mr. Ashman knew, the last gentleman had spoken with out consultation. Leave was given Mr. Wilson, of Mass., to say that he, lor one, would not be bound by the proceedings. Cries of you cannot proceed, then ; you are not a Whig. Chnir The gentleman will take his seat. Delegate You shall not make a loco-foco speech here. Mr. Ashmtui He has a right lo be heard. Brown of Pennsylvania. Mr. President Chair order mpv Mr. Wilson arose, (he is from Massachu setts) ami proceeded to say that he came as a Whig, and would go away a Whig, if the Convention acted like Whigs. We have now "a gentleman" who 1ms said ho will not be bound by any party nomination (question of order hero raised, that the Speaker had no right to condemn tho doings of tho Convcn. tion. Chair sustained the point of order.) Mr. Wilson resumed, and said w hen he went home, ho should, so help him God, do all ho could to defeat that man, Gen. Taylor who was not a Whig as he understood the word. (Storm of hisses and considerable ap plause.) An adjournment motion wa lost here. Mr. Blunt of Massachusetts intended to sus tain the nomination. It was not true that the nomination will be received with disapproba tion by Massachusetts. She will not stain her banner now nor she never had. (Cheers ) Mr. Galloway, of Ohio, obtained leave to address the Convention he said : 1 desire to speak us calmly and dispassionately as I can. I have always been a V lug and an ultra Whig. I have found myself in a strange po sition before this convention ; I love my country and wish to aid in every measure. which will contribute to its aucocss. I come from the State of Ohio, though it is impossi ble for me to say what tne people will uo when they hear the nomination of tins Con vention ; but I do say I will bo prepared to do that v. hich my free spirit will dictate when I meet the fieo citizens of Ohio. I came pledged lo support any man who will oppose the extension of slavery. God has given me my nativity upon the free soil of Pennsylvania, I should, therefore, differ in opinion from gentlemon born in the suuny South. I stand bv Ihe compromises of the Constitution. I lova the conduct of my fulh- Now, with the pledge I have given it, it is hard for me to say what I shall do. I will go home, 1 will say td them that if they believe in the principles of the nominee, I will say "amen," and stand by the nomina tion of the Convention. There are doubts in Ohio as to the whiggery of the numinee, doubts cathered from hia letters and conver sations. Let me say that these principles are the fundamental principles in the hearts and feelings of the people of Ohio. Mr. G hero became exceeding eloquent, concluding with a thrilling poetical cfudUUon from John G. Whittier, which was rooaivod t iu close with bunts of anplauae. , t r , The roll was called for tha first ballot for Vice President . The vote was as fellow : . Abbott Lawrence, it)9 ; M. Fillmore, U5; A. Stewart, 14 ; J. Sergeant. 6 ; MeKennan, 13 ; Clayton, 3 ; G. Evans, C ; Scattering, 8. The whole number ot voles bei lg 274, and 138 requisite to a choice, tho President an nounced that no election had boen had. THE SECOND BALLOT riLLMORK NOMINATED. Before the vote was taken, a Delegate from New York said that if the vote for Vice Pre sident vasgiven to Mr. Fillmore, he could carry the State of New York. The names of Jno. Sorgeant, Andrew Ste wart and T. T. MeKennan were withdrawn. The ballot was as follows : SECOND BALLOT. M. Fillmore, 173 ; Abbott Lawrence, 87 ; Jnd. Sargeant, 1 ; G. Evans, 2 ; Clayton, 3. After Mr. Fillmore had been nominated, on a question of unanimous nomination, a gentleman from Nnw Jorscy, Mr. McCul lough, said in a very animated speech, that tho free State of New Jersey had first nomi nated General Taylor on the battle field of Trenton. . Gov. Vance, of Ohio, was sure that they would now rescue this government and coun try from the hands of thn spailer-i ho even had hopes of carrying Ohio for Taylor. Mr. Carroll, of New York, said that Gen. Taylor surrenders to his friends lo no one else to no enemies liko tha Whig parly, Taylor surrenders to his friends, but never to his foes New York will support the nomina tion. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, spoko a graat deal about Whig principles, but did not mention in what any one of them consisted. He would have Gen. Taylor take hold of the Whig banner of principles, and say that he will live and die with that Whig banner pledged to Whig principles the principles of '44. Mr. Sherman of Ohio hoped, implored that the Convention would not press a rrwlution for an unanimous nomination of the candi dates presented. Press this resolution now, said he you cannot pass it and you will lose the State of Ohio. Let us. said he, go down to Independence Square, and there rati fy the nomination. Gov. Vance here withdrew the resolution. A gentleman from Maryland was satisfied to go into the contest with Gen. Taylor, the patriot, Maryland would endorse tho nomina- tlriii A gentleman from Ohio ofTurcd a resolu tion relating to slavery, which brought out. Mr. Brown, of Pa.. h denominated the dologations on the right ot" tho Chair, some of them, factionists. Mr. Brown raised sueh a storm about his ears that he had to sit down. A motion to lay the resolution on the table here prevailed. A resolution from Mr. Hathaway, of N. i . passed thanking the Committee of Arrange- ments for their ellorts. He, and also ine citi zens of Philadelphia for their courtesy. The thanks of the Convention were tender cd to the Chairman for his impartiality, &e. A similar resolution relative to the officers was passed. It was moved that the President of the Convention inform the nominees of the Con- vention of their nomination, and publish their replies, &c. A vole of thanks was passed to the clergy- men who had officiated. Mr. Colyer, of Ohio, thought that Mr. Brown, of Pa., had done it up brown, "hcu he called some other folks fnctiomsts. He had noticed that Pennsylvania always looked one way and pulled another. (Laughter and cheers.) We, in tho great Whig State of Ohio, can give her vote for Taylor, and wo will. She could elect Taylor lor President, and his old white charger for Vice President. A number of gentlemen from variousStates followed in short speeches, told funny ancc- dotes, exciting the laughter of the audience ; said what they had done, and what they would have done for Mr. Clay ; what they will do for Gen. Taylor, &c. Mr. Ewing, of Indiana followed in a simi lar vein, but wo could not catch bin remarks. He was about lo tell and anecdote of Gc-n. Taylor, which he said, ho had teard from Col. Haskell, but tho Colonel objected, ns he had a patent tight for his anecdotes (Ap- plause. and laughter.) Mr. Ewing said if Col. ll.iskeil would tell the story himsnlf, he would yield tho lloor to him. The Colonel was then loudly called for, and for, and got up on a settee. I was remarking the other night, ot a eon- vival meeting, said he, hint Gen. Cuss, in November next, would be very much like a mnn nf mv nefi iiiiintauce. who was struck overbv a fellow bv the name of Joe Lirkins. They were nt a military muster on Sugar Hill, when they got into a fight, aim joe, ot- ing rather excited, strUCr: him a blow which knocked him about forty rods against a worm fence and sent down eleven ot tne paneia, bars, supporters and all. After he had laid there some time, ho got up, rubbed his eyes, straightened himself up, and inquired of the crowd, "has that storm done much damage t" (shouts of laughter and applause,) "did that lightning strike any. body else but me !" (applause and laughter.) So it will be with Gen. Case. Ha will get up after the election in November next, and if he can atraighten himself, will want to know whether that lightening of the Whig vote has hurt any body but hiui. (Great ap plause and laughter.) A question was asked a Delegate of Louisi ana by another Delegate from another State, whether General Taylor was nut opposed to domestic industry ; the ejuesijener said ha e. .1 1 88 believed him not lo be.

I rode from Wilkes county to their new residence in Surrey, &orho 40 miles, and arrived at their house the evening of the second day, after leaving 'Trap Hill.' On riding up to tho yard I observed the 'Twins' busily engaged in shingling a house ; and on seeing me, they promptly approached and requested me to 'walk In,' adding that they would attend to my horse, and . in the meantime I walked into tho house and intro duced myself to Mrs. 'Chang,' pronounced 'Chun.' and found her to be quite a handsome young woman, just 22. Her maiden name was 'Adelaide Lates,' (sister of Saran ;) and her dress and general appearance all indica ting a degree of tidiness which Mrs. 'Eng' lacks : indeed, the people about here all say she is 'mighty townified.' Mrs. 'Chang' was married on the same night of her sister, and now has three children, viz: 'Josephine Vir ginia,' G days younger than Mr. Eng's first, 'Christopher Wren,' 8 days younger than Mrs. E.r8 second, and 'Nancy,1 nged only six mo;itli3. They are all Very healthy and for ward children, l:iit liavo their father's fea tures clearly stamped upon them. You could readily single them out of a crowd of ten thousand children. "After having passed some time with Mrs Chang,' tho 'Twins' came in, and gathering up their pipes, commenced pulling away at a great rale.
