Whig National Convention
Baltimore, June 16th.
During all the morning an immense
throng of delegates and others -were pour
ing into the city, and the greatest excite- j
ment was manifested to see and hear cv- .
erythiug that was in any way interesting i
at the present exciting moment. j
At half-past ten the members of the j
Convention began to assemble in the Hall j
preparatory to the time of opening, which
is fixed at 12 o'clock.
The Hall is beautifully decorated, much
more so than when the late Democratic
Convention met. The platform is con
structed in the centre, is covered with
carpeting. !
The delegates from the Southern States
held a meeting this morning and unani- ;
mously adopted a platform, which em
braces the Compromise in all its parts as ;
a finality. j
It was referred to a Committee of one
from each State in the Convention.
The delagation from Massachusetts sub
scribed to the platform, and it ts believed ;
the Convention will finally adopt it, al-!
though an animated struggle will undoubt- J
edly tike place before this will be accom- J
plished. Many of the Northern members j
have abroad expressed a decided oppo
sition to it.
The whole city presents one living mass,
and the excitement is intense.
At 12 o'clock the Convention was pre
liminarily organized by selecting Hon.
George Evans, of Me., as Chairman, and
Messrs. Upton, of Louisiana, and Bryan,
of North Carolina, as Secretaries.
A motion was made to appoint a Com
mittee of one from each State to se
lect permanent officers for the Convention.
The motion for the appointment of a
committee of one from each state to se
lect permanent officers, was adopted.
Each delagation to name its member and
committee. The member from Pennsyl
vaniu is Win. Jessup.
On motion a committee of one from
each state was appointed on Credentials.
Mr. Kunkle being the member from
this state.
On motion the Convention then adjourn
ed until six o'clock, P. M.
At six o'clock, the Convention re-assembled.
After considerable discussion
touching the propriety of adopting Eulcs
for the Government of the Convention, be
fore a regular organization had been af
fLttii, the Committee on Permanent Of
fic -r reported for President, JOHN G.
CilAPMAN, of Maryland, with 31 Vice
Prj iients, and 13 Secretaries. The Vice
Pre-ilent from Pennsylvania is John
trohm. Considerable debate took place
on the proper mode of taking the question
upon the adoption of the lleport. It was
decided to take it by states. The call of
the States was then commenced, but was
tuperseded as unnecessary, and the Be
port was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Chapman, on taking the Chair
made an excellent address. Prayer was
then offered up by the Rev. Thomas H.
Stockton.
The Committee on Credentials not be
ing read- to report, and there being no
proixmiiity oi tneir speeciny onnging their
Kouerous duties to a close, the Convention
mdjourned to Thursday morning.
SECOND DAY.
The President called the Convention to
jrder at 12 o'clock, when proceedings
were opened with a prayer by Rev. Dr.
J Atkinson, Episcopalian.
J here was a lull attendance. Heat
nost oppressive, fans waving in all direc
tions.
Engravings of Scott, Fillmore and
Webster are suspended from the walls.
The Committee on Credentials reported
Ithatthey had made considerable progress,
ind asked leave to sit during the session
)f the Convention which was granted. j
The proceedings of yesterday having i
jeen read, Messrs. Cabell and Brans- ;
fORD severally introduced resolutions
laving in view the completion of the or-
Ionization, by adopting rules for the gov-,
Eminent of the Convention.
The resolution of Mi-. Welch for the
the same purpose, offered 3resterda' was :
withdrawn, when after a debate, the fol-1
lowing, proposed by Mr. Botts, was a-
Eyopted.
liesoivea, l uat on every vote on wincn 1
division shall be ordered, each State J
mhvM be entitled to as many votes, and no
nore, as such State is entitled to in the
Electoral College, and that the rules of
the House of Representatives be adoiited
cis the rules of this Convention, so far as
the same may be applicable. j
On the adoption ol the above resolution,
tbere was long continued applause. j
The President made an appeal to
rentlemen to observe order. He trusted '
jthc utmost silence would be generally ob-
served. Continued demonstrations ot ap- ;
tplause were unbecoming the dignity and j
leharacter of American citizens. We are, .
lhe said, apt to be led away by our feel-.
lings, but let us in future be governed j
ITiv ntir indVment.
Mr. Dundan (.Louisiana; ojtered the ;
following Resolutions: I
JSxsolved. That a Committee, to consist j
of one member from each State in the '
5 . t I . i 1
Union, represented in uns conventions dc ;
appointed, whose duty it shall be to draft :
a series of resolutions expressive of the J
sentiments of the Whigs of the Union on j
the great doctrines cherished by them; or, J
icv-r.rwise, a Platform of Principles to be
maintained by the Whigs in the coming
campaign.
Resolved, That the Members of said
Committee be selected by the Delegation
from each State represented, appointing
its own Member, and the Committee to
appoint its own Chairman.
Resolved, That this Convention will not
proceed to ballot for or otherwise nomi
nate a Candidate for President, of Vice
President, until the said Committee shall
have reported, and this Convention shall
have taken final action on the said report.
The Committee appointed for the pur

Convention assembled, firmly adhering to ; 12th
tho great conservative principles by which
they are controlled and governed, and
now as ever relying upon the intelligence :
of the Ameican people, with an abiding
confidence in their capacity for self-gov-'
eminent, and their devotion to the Con
stitution and the Union, do proclaim the
following as the political sentiments and
determination for the establishment and
maintenance of which their national or
ganization as a party was affected:
First. The Government of the United
States is of a limited character, and it is
confided to the exercise of powers expres
sly granted by the Constitution, and such
as may be necessary and proper for car
rying the granted powers into full execu
tion, and that all powers not granted or
necessarily implied are expressly reserved
to the States respectively and to the peo
ple. Second. The State G ovcrnments should
bo held secure to their reserved rights,and
the General Government sustained on its
constitutional powers, and that the Union
should be revered and watched over as
the palladium of our liberties.
Third. That while struggling freedom
everywhere enlists tho warmest sympathy
of the Whig party, we still adhere to the
doctrines of the Father of his Couutry,as
announced in his Farewell Address, of
keeping ourselves free from all entangling
alliances with foreign countries, and of
never quitting our own to stand upon for
eign ground; that our mission as a repub
lic is not to propagate our opinions, or
impose on other countries on form of gov
ernment, by artifice or force; but to teach
by example, and show by our success,
moderation and justice, the blessings of
self-goverument, and the advantages of
free institutions.
Fourth. That, as the people make and
control the Government, they should o
bey its constitution, laws and treaties, as
they would retain their self-respect, and
the respect which they claim and will en
force from foreign powers.
Fifth. Revenue sufficient for the expen
ses of an ecomoinical administration of the

Mr. Asiimun stated that these resolu

were immediately considered by the Con

having led off in an exceedingly able and
eloquent speech in their support. The

The Crops.
JJj3 The Augusta (Maine) Fanner
thinks the hay crop must be a greatly di
minished one, and the corn crop looks
still more doubtful of ever coming to 111a
turitty. Great complaints are heard on
all sides that the seed corn has failed to
come up, and many have planted their
fields the second time with the hope that
it would yet germinate and come forth in
season. Either the seed corn of last year's
growth was not sufficiently ripened to in
sure its germination, or the excessive dry
weather has had rather an uncommon ef
fect; for a great part of that which was
planted has rotted.
gST-The Western-Rew;Te(Ohio) Chron
icle, says: From present indications, there
is to be a large drop of wheat, and grass
will be unprecedented. There is some
danger of damage from "lodging," owing
to the luxuriant growth. Apple? promise
to be ven' abundant, and peaches and
other fruit in moderate quantities. Corn
planting was very late, and there is much
complaint that the seed did not germinate,
yet if July and August should be favor
ble we may anticipate a reasonable crop
of corn.
S?The Texas papers say that there
never was a better prospect of a large
cane crop on the Brazos. The cotton,
although retarded by the resent cold
weather, has generally recovered, and
are held there.
