The delegates from Pennsylvania and from the North generally went for a repeal, while those troju the Southern or Slave States were for retaining it. A compromise was finally effected by a new platform, in which the 12th section of the old one does notap ]>car, &nd on which the delegates from all sections seem finally to have harmonized. * be following is the PLATEOftM OF TIIE AMERICAN PARTF AS ADOPTED BY THE NA TIONAL COUNCIL.

Tbe Convention met yesterday morning at 1U o'clock, President Marsh ir. the chair. After prayer by tbe Rev. Mr. Campbell of Ohio, and the reading of the minute*, the question was asked as to the first busi- ] ness in order. The chair said that the first business in i order were the resolutions offered by Mr. Small, of Pennsylvania. "Mr. F. lain, of La., took exception to this, and said that the resolutions were not prop erly before the body, inasmuch as it had no right to repudiate the Platform adopted by the National Council. The chair decided the resolution in or der. Mr Kiam—Then [ appeal from your de cision. The question was then taken on the mo tion of appeal, and the chair decided it lost. Considerable confusion here ensued, in the midst of which Mr. Killingfcr, of Pa., arose and offered to Mr. Small's resolutions the following as a substitute, wiuch Mr. Siuall accepted.* Resolved, That the National American Convention has no authority to prescribe a platform of principles for this convention, and that we will nominatfer Presidentwnd Vice Preaideut no man who i> not in favor of interdicting the introduction of slavery jnto territory north of f.ti 3U- Tbe previous question was called for oa the substitute of Mr. Killinger. Mr. Haven, of N. V., moved to lay the whole business on the table. On this resolution the yeas and nays were called for. The delegates were reminded that by a resolution adopted on Saturday evening, they had but three muintcs each in which to state their reasons fit their votes. The rule was found to work well. 3lr. Thurston, of Mass., voted' No,' airl in explaiuiug his vote said he did so as it had been intimated that this was a test question, and he w.is desirous that it should be decided, whether or not the aggressive ness of the Sugi should longer he encour aged. lie would now state that if tiio res olution of Mr. Killioger w-s voted down he would retire from the convention.— [cries of 'good,' good.'] Mr. Sheets, of Ind., deplored this agita taiiou of distracting questions. He want ed a good man nominated who would recon cile difference*. He voted 'Ave.' Mr. Norris, of Del", voted 4 Aye.* He autl his colleagues had retired from the convention, but they hail since thought bet ter of itaud cdftel tided to return, as they believed it was now the time for action.— [applause.] Mr. Webster, of lowa, approved of the firmness of the South in maintaining their rights, and reflected -merely upon North ern doughfaces,—his voice was for freedom in the territories, and he voted 'No.' Mr. Clark, of lowa, voted 'No,' as he believed that if the v >te prevailed the par ty was done. Mr. Lippef, of Ohio, voted 'Aye.' lie wanted a man for the platform and not a platform for the man. Mr. White,Of Ohio, voted 'Aye.' lie contended that the National Council had the right to settle questions of political principles. Mr. Brooks, of New York, voted 'Aye,* as New York was determined to resist the agitation of all questions but the simple one of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. The New York delegation followed the Lead of Mr. Brooks, and voted 'Aye.' Mr. Thorn, of i'onn'a voted 'Aye,' and in giving his reasons, said the business of the convention was -imply to nominate can didates and not tc make platforms. Mr. Coffee, of I'a., predicted that, if the Washington dlatforta was ot repudiated, his constituents would not support Mr. Fil uiore, if ruminated npon it. Upon it Penn sylvania would be defeated by 50,000 votes, [cries of 'No,''No,'and hisses.]— die voted 'No.' M r . Stewart, of Pa., vote! 'Aye,' be cause he believed that if the proposition wa adopted, the party would be broken up. lie believed that its adoption would divide tbe Union by a geographical line. The Pensylvania delegation was much divided in its vote. Mr. Dunham, of 111., voted 'Aye,' be cause be thought the time for platform ma king was done, and the time for making a nomination had arrived. Mr. Richmond, of Mass., voted 'No,'be cause he had understood that it was claim ed that the American Party still stood up on the twelfth section of the June Plat form. The vote on laying on the table was then anuouueed as follows: ayes 141, nays 60. The result was received with applause and loud cheers. Mr. Brownlow offered the following res olution: Resolved, That this convention do pro ceed forthwith to nominate candidates for BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY. MARCH 7.185(1. President and Vice President of the Uni ted States. [Loud applause; and cries of 'that's if,' that's it.') Mr. lirownlow then called the previous question on the resolution. The previous question w*s ordered. Mr. Peck, of Conn, said that if the nom ination was gone into now, his State would withdraw. [Cries of 'Co,'go. j Mr. Baldwin, of Con, made a strong speech in opposition to the nomination pro posed ; it must throw a large portion of the North into the arms of the Republican party. He voted "No." Mi. Ely, of 3iuss., had come to make a nomination, and he would vote for oue. Mr. Arnold, of Mass., voted "Aye," al though instructed by his constituents to vote "No." There wore upon the floor conspirators who are in league with that arch traitor, Henry Wilson, of Mass., [ap plause.] Mr. Thurston, of Mass. voted 'No,' and made a speech against the aggressiveness of the South. Mr. KJUICS. of Mass., made a speech in favor of an immediate nomination, and promised a strong majority for the candi date of the party. The noise ami confusion at ties stage was so great, that the business could scarcely be gone on with. Persons not delegates were on motion or dered to go to the estrehie northern end of the room. Messrs. Evans, of Pa., Moore, of Va., and Picket's, ofTecn,, were appointed Sergeants at-Arris to preserve order. Mr. Sheets, of Indiana, was in favor of going into an immediate nomination. He wanted a good national man, Mr. Imboden, of Va,, was instructed to vote against a nomination it prejfent, but he was satisfied that the Salvation of the party depended upon an immediate semination aud be would vote'aye.' Mr. Mawpen, of Va., voted wye., He had been instructed to vote au im mediate nomination,but lie was now satis fied that it was necessary to go iuto a nom ination. Mr. JJoteler, of Vi.. made a speech against persons who had participated in the late eouncil, under the guise of Americans, who were in tact Republicans in disguise.— lie voted 'aye.' Mr. McCunc, of Virginia, addressed him self to what he styled the black Republi can side of the house These remarks were objected to and withdrawn bv the speaker, lie voted 'aye.' While the roll was being called, the question came up as to the admission of cer tain substitutes from Wisconsin. The chair decided that they were not properly accredited. An appeal was taken from the decision of the chair The chair decided that the appeal was not sustained. Hero there was another scene of great confusion and disorder. Mr. Bullock and another of the New York delegation called for a decision. The chair decided that it .van too late. Mr. Ballock appealed from that divis ion. The chair refused to eutertuin the mo tion. Mr. Bullock, (in great excitement) I in. sist upon my right to be heard. The chair—Will the Sergeants-at-Anas see that order is preserved in the conven tion! Mr. Bullock, (still louder) I will not sit down until my motion is entertained. The chair—Will the Sergeants-at-arms ! see that the gentleman sits down? | Aaother scene of confusion ensued. Finally, Mr. Bullock sat down, and the i calling of the roll was proceeded with. Mr. Lake, of Miss,, was the only repre sentative from his State who was present lie was instructed to vote 'No,' and he woulJ do so particularly, as he supposed | that he would not ba allowod to cast 'die i full vote of Mississippi, j A North Carolina delegate voted 'aye,' because he wanted the nomination made forthwith, and he was moreover instructed to vote for a northern man. Mr. Latlirop, of Louisiana, voted 'aye,' against instructions. Mr. Webster, of lowa, wanted some- 1 thing upon which he could assure his con stituents that the convention differed from the Douglas-Pierco men. The party can- | not command the electoral vote of the Union, and he wanted the Democratic par ty to take the initiative in a Domination. When Mr. Stambaugh, of Ohio, was cal led upon to vote, he said that he desired to say, that whatever might be the result of the question before tbe convention, he should not act now or hereafter with any party favorable to the extension of Slavery into Territory now free. He voted 'No.' Mr. Hazelhurst, of Pa., when big name was called, said, that when he came to the convention, a few days ago, he was opposed to making a nomination, but he had chang ed his views since. It had given him pain to hear the expressions which had fallen from the lips of some of his colleagues, and he hoped to hear them taken back. lie knew that Pennsylvania, the great Key. stone State of the Union, is loyal to the constitution. Talk of a dissolution of the Union, and that too on die spot oil which liberty was first proclaimed 1 Such a tiling is regarded in Pennsylvania as impossible. The gentleman would ask his brothers from Pennsylvania, who had expressed an inten tion to leave the convention, to come back, lie would also say to his brothers from Con necticut, the State in which he had receiv ed his last lessons of instruction, to eoiue back. Mr. Ilazlehurst voted 'aye.' Mr. Kiliinger, when calleu ou to vote, said t hat he had just received a despatch from the American members of the Penn sylvania E gislature, asking that no nomi nation be now made. The gentleman warn ed the convention that, in tin, evcut of a nomination at tiie present tunc, and without the adoption of a platform repudiating the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the State of Pennsylvania would be lost to the American party, [cries of no, no.) Mr- K. voted 'No.' Mr. St til we] I voted 'aye,' and ridiculed the idea of being controlled by the mem bers of the Legislature. Mr. Small, of Pa. voted 'No.' lie want ed delay, so as to see if a ir.au could le got who could unite the party. Mr. Williamson objected to Pennsylva nia beinu charged with abolitionism. lie was American to the backbone; be would vote 'No.' Mr. Andrew Stewart, of Pa., if a good uian wu? got, Pennsylvania would irive •tOJj.QO majority, be wanted a nom ination now or never; be wanted it to l<e made before that of the Republican party. ITc wanted the odium of the third nomination thrown upon the l itter. Mr. Sews!!, of Pa., .said a great wrong had been committed by the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise. He wanted an acknowl edgement of this wrong to be admit"ed and tilings put right upon the record; he voted ■No.' l'enn.'jlvania was divided in its vote. The result was announced as fo'k-ws— ayes 151, nays, 51: [jpplause} The convention thou proceeded to noiui note persons for candidates for President and Vice President of tiie 1 uited States. Mr. A. Stewart, of Pa. nominated Mil lard Fillmore, of New \ork,for President Mr. Sly, of Aid,, nominated W. 11. Smith, of Alabama, for Vice President. After the decision of the vute, Air. Pet-. kins,!of Connecticut, took the floor, and proceeded to speak at length on the neces sity of the .American party adopting as a platform, tle principle of no more Slave territory; he wa< listened to out of courte sy, with great patience, and, though the convention was evidently impatient to go ou with the nomination, -ft the close of his remarks, he gave uotioe that he designed to withdraw r:oin the body, and that a meeting of the Seceders would be held at 4o'clock, at the .Wet-chants' Hotel. Cries of 'go ou,' 'leave us a lock of your hair,' and similar expressions. AFTKRNOON BES gj ON. The Convention was called to order by the President at 5 o'clock. Mr. Brownlow arose and proposed to re ceive into the church General Call,of Floti da, Percy Walker, of Alabama, and all others who had been going astray. Mr, Brownlow, amid great applause, ad vanced toward Gen. Call, and embraced him. Tho greatest merinient was occasioned by this fond embrace, and Mr. Brown low took his soat, with his brow radiant with joy, amid the cheers of al! present. Gen. Call said be had given his hand to his brother, and he now gave his heart to the Convention. He was truly happy to be enabled to return without tht least incon sistency,and resumed his seat,now that peace and harmony was restored. . We are now a great American party, dedicated to our country, our whole country, and nothing but our whole country. After arriving at home, he could say that bis brethren of the North had not, perhaps, granted all that ho but it was his fault and not theirs. Wheu he withdrew from the Convention, it was from a holy devotion to his countiy, and not through any angry feelings. He promised to uphold tho candidate of the Convention, aud if necessary, to visit the hills and valleys of the North to promote his cause. Loud cries were now sent forth for Walker, of Alabama. Mr. Walker congratulated the Convention that the turbi<i pool of sectionalism had been quieted, and averred that he withdrew from the Conveution under a .solemn sense of duty. lie could not allow his strong feeling for Americanism, his profound reference for this great confederacy, to put aside the great interests i" the section from whence he came. The Sooth had not stood here in defiance, nor with aims iu their bauds: but with words of peace and kindness, and their hands graspingifor the hope of their country, trcntlenien from all sections of country had entreated him to to return to the Convention, assuring hitu that he had misjudged its dominaut principles. The Speaker ooncluded by saying he was going to the backbone for bis country as it stands in its vast length and bread'b, and pelt assured that those at home would aot condemn bun for resuming his seat Mr. Walker sat dowu amid a round of applause. Mr. Morris, of Dele ware, withdrew the name of John M. Clayton,and said Deieware was uow united fur Millard Fillmore. Mr. Reedy uioved that no gentleman be allowed to give an explanation of bis vote for candidate.

His hands had ever ministered to his neces sities, and hoped they would eon tinue to do so hereafter. All he wanted was peace, harmoDy, and the prosperity of the country. He, tluefure, most respectfully declined the distinguished honor, and begged to be permitted to present one more acceptable. He proposed the name of Audrew Jackson Dunalson, of Tennessee.

If it Le that you have seen fit to nominate for the highest office iu the gift of the people of this country, one of New York's sous, and desires to another sou of this State to reply, 1 have only tony that I thank you from the bottom of uiy heart. I promise you that while Mr. Fillmore will be true to the North and maintain her honor, he will be •is equally liue to the South and the Consti tution. He would protect the citizen# of the Nock, South, East and West against enemies at hoiu e ncd abroad. Tbere may be some here who feel a disappointment at uot having their own particular friend uomiua ted but 1 pray God tbey will not carry their feelings of •uisappoietment out of this hall when they leave to-night.
