up under a call for the previous question : i

cv are but the opinions ol this convention, ana arc '
not to he considered as articles of faith of the i
Democratic party.
Mr. Peek, of Michigan, raised a point of order, I
lliat the resolutions must, under the rule, go into -
lhe committee on resolutions.
Mr. Hubbard, ot Texas, moved to suspend the
rules for the purpose of voting oil the resolution.
The convention refused :•• suspend the rules— I
ayes 174, nays INS.
Mr. Lowe, of Maryland, offered the following
resolution, and called for it.-, reading :
U-sob /, That in expres-ing any opinion in re- j
gard to the principles involved in the last five re- 1
- ilutions of the proposed platform, we deem it in
expedient to adopt said resolutions as part of the i
- aid platform ; and that the chairman of this dele- j
gat ion be directed to ca.-t its vote in the negative !
upon said resolution;, and that he is further re- :
;nested at a proper time to request the reading of
this resolution to the convention, as the ground i
upon which the action of this delegation lias been
based.
The resolution was referred.
The committee to appoint a national Deuionat
ic committee was tlieu appointed.
Mr. Wilson, of lowa, was willing New Vink
should have a chance in the convention, but was
not willing to magnify the quarrels in that Slate
into undue importance. Three days were long
enough to enable the rival delegations to settle
their differences, if they could be settled ai all ; |
but it was now understood that, though glad of
her support, the Democratic party could do with
out her. Immense applause and shouts from the
convention galleries.]
After a warm ruuuing debate the convention
adjourned.
The States voting for the admission of the Hards ]
in the committee on credentials were Wisconsin,
Maine, Indiana, California and Texas.
The States voting in the negative on Stevenson’s
resolutions, were Maine, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Hemisvlvania, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Mary
land, Texas, California and Wisconsin. Missouri ;
was not leprcsented in the preamble declaring
the oft-, the regular organization. Arkansas ana
Alabama changed their votes to the negative.
FOrUTH day’s PROCEEDINGS.
Mr. Stevens m, f Kentucky, rose to make a re
port ti.-in the committee on credentials. The i
committee had not agreed; but representing a
majoiiu ot it. .in he did, he was ready to read the
same, a the convention pleased, when order was
restored, lie claimed the indulgence of the con- :
veution while lie spoke the sentiments bV which
the majority had been actuated.
They had given three days’ attention lo the
case, and had heard both parties claiming the
seats. Alter the able arguments from both sec
tlolls, and that party had agreed to stand upon the
noble platform of the convention, and had pledg
ed the honor of both sections to unite aud make
common battle for the nominee of the convention,
it was lamentable that the great Democracy should
be rent by dissensions ; but they have passed awav,
and both have agreed to bury the past in oblivion,
uniting ou the last two platforms adopted in New
1 ork State.
Mr. Stevenson then read the report and pream
ble a-- modified, recognising the Softs a- a regular
ly-organized portion of the Democratic party and
tiie Hards as an organized body
Rt>olein,j, That the two sections be now consol- ,
idated : that the Softs have forty-four delegates,
and the llards twenty-six delegates, aud that the
minority shall not be overruled by the majority.
4 Ptsolr..’, That the delegates be allowed to
register their votes on the platform.
Mr. Stevenson trusted that no discussion would
come into the convention, but that the repovt
would be unanimously adopted.
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, took the stand, and
wo- greeted with immense applause. As chair
man of the committee, he was bound to make a
minority report. The minority felt that they had
no right So make a distinction between the delegu
■lons. but admit both with equal representations.
It the committee had been forced to make the ;
statement which leads them to this conclusion,
they regretted it, but could not flinch from the
duty. j
• he report reviews the action of the committee,
and goes into an argument to show that the Hards
are the regular Democracy and the Softs seceders,
sometimes acting together, and at other times sep
arate.
1 iie report concludes with the following resolu- ,
lion:
A’- . liiai the two delegations from New
A ork be authorised to select each thirty-five dele
gates, and that the seventy delegates thus selected
be .niiiii:ted us the delegations of the two sections
..f the New A ork Democracy to this Convention,
a.id that they be allowed one hour to report their
■.foe lion ih.- two delegations lo vote separately ;
rach party to be entiled to seventeen votes ■ the
\..te ot the State to be cast bv each alternately l»v
the two delegations, the SoiWeasting the vote first.

motion are Gardner of Georgia, Lake of Virginia

A motion to proceed to ballot was ruled out of
order in consequence of one hour having been al
lowed the committee to report.

FIFTH DAT.
Cincinnati, June 6. — The Convention proceeded
■ to the fifteenth ballot.
When New Hampshire was ealled ; Mr. Hibbard
rose and stated that New Hampshire had voted j
steadily thus far for a distinguished citizen of her i
1 own State, now at the head of the government. !
I Hut inasmuch as it seemed impossible that she i
. could advance the great principles to which she !
( was devoted, by securing liis nomination, she now !
changed her vote to another gallant and distin- I
1 guished advocate of the same principles, and ro- J
ted for Stephen A. Douglas.
The result of the fifteenth ballot was announced

SIXTEENTH AND LAST BALLOT.
The President having announced the call of the
States for the sixteenth ballot,
Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, obtained the floor,
and stated that lie had hitherto favored the nomi
nation of Mr. Douglas, but it was evident that the
time had arrived“to terminate the struggle, and he
was anxious to hear from those who were author
ised to speak in behalf of Air. Douglas, and had
; his honor in charge.
i There were cries for “Richardson!” from all
parts of the house, and on Mr. Preston’s motion
. the rules were suspended to allow him to he heard.
Mr. Richardson, after order had been restored, |
i expressed, in behalf of Illinois, thanks for the
handsome vote which her distinguished son had
received. - Cries of “don’t withdraw him.” i He
must be permitted to act in view of the responsi
; bilities of his position, and of what he thought the
l interest of the Democratic party and the country
I demanded. And to show that he did not act witli-
I out authority, so far as the candidate of his delc
( gatiun was concerned, he sent to the Chair the fol
: lowing telegraphic despatch from Mr. Douglas :
I Ttlftjraphic 7><*patfh from S. .1. botn/!o,<:
Washington, June 5. I see in the telegraphic
' despatches in the newspapers that there is danger
| of all embittered spirit in your Convention. I wish
i von and all my friends to remember that the us
j eendancy of our principles is a thousand-fold more
important than my own personal elevation. If the
withdrawal of iny name will ensure harmony, I
beg you not to hesitate to take the step. My liigh
: cst wish is granted if the Convention is unanimous
for the platform that embodies the principles of the
Democracy of the Republic. Cheers.
If the nomination of Mr. Pierce, or Mr. Buchan
an, or any other of the Democratic statesmen
named for the office can be secured by your aid, I j
; beg that he may receive it. 1 earnestly hope you ;
i will give him first a vote of two-thirds, and then I
! a unanimous vote. Applause.’ Let no personal I
I consideration disturb the unanimity of the Con- j
! volition. S. A. Douglas.
The reading of the letter was followed by a gen
eral rising of the delegates from their seats, and
prolonged cheers.
Mr. Richardson resumed, aud siated that under
these circumstances, he felt it to be his duty, and
that in so doing, lie was acting in accordance with
the wishes of Mr. Douglas, to withdraw his name
from the Convention aud thus contribute to the j
harmonious selection of a candidate to sustain the
principles of which Mr. P. had been the champion
Great applause. '
The call of .'states then proceeded, aud the Con
vention was in a tumult of enthusiasm, as .State af
ter State, with brief but kind and animated re
marks from the chairman of the respective delega
tions, east their votes for James Buchanan, of j
Pennsylvania.
We cannot undertake to give even a sketch of
i this exciting scene and interesting debate, which
; ivc would gladly daguerreotype for our readers, j
We only allude to one or two poiufs.
Mr. Hibbard, of New Hampshire, when his State !
was called, said New Hampshire did not go for
men, but for principles, and she had voted for .
Franklin Pierce first, and then tor Stephen A.
Douglas, because he thought that in their persons j
she should best sustain the Democratic side of the
great issues pending before the country. But j
she had no hostility to Mr. Buchanan, and with
him as a candidate could rely on fidelity to j
Democratic doctrine. She, therefore, cast' her
vote for James Buchanan.
When New A’ork was called, Mr. Ludlow said
that the New York delegation came into this
Convention under unpleasant circumstances ; that
the delegation which he represented had no fac
tious purpose in relation to men, and had cast
their votes first for Franklin Pierce, and then for Ste
phen A. Douglas, because in so doing they could
prove faithful to sound Democratic principles, and
at the same time true and steady to their friends.
Tliev had never questioned that Mr. Buchanan was
acceptable to the Democrats of New York, and could
command their united, vigorous and triumphant
support. Having voted for Mr. Pierce and Air.
Douglas a- long as they were adhered to b\ their
respective friends, they now cheerfully cast their
vote for James Buchanan.
Mr. Beardsley of the other New A’ork delega
tion also cast their vote for Mr. Buchanan.
Mr. Richardson, when Illinois was called, made
a most happy speech. It was dignified and ap
propriate both in matter and manner. He said
Illinois was satisfied. This Convention had adopt
ed, in all their length and breadth, the distinctive
principles ot which Mr. Douglas had been the
leading champion. This was an honor of which
Mr. D. might justly be proud—and lie was proud
of it. ibis was a sufficient triumph for him and
hi* State, and Illinois cordially cast her eleven
votes for James Buchanan. ! Great applause, i
Several other gentlemen addressed the conven
tion in animated and interesting speeches, anion"
whom were Col. Aledary, of Ohio, Mr.’lnge of
California, Mr. Wright, of New Jersey, Air. Avc’rv
of North Carolina, and Mr. Smalley, of Virginia]
Hon. John L. Dawson, of Penn., took|the floor
and after a glowing tribute to the several candi
dates whose names had been before the convention
returned thanks in behalf of his delegation, for
the high honor doue to Pennsylvania in the n’omi
j nation about to be announced.
Mr. Hallett, chairman of the Committee on Res
i olutious, here obtained the floor, and, by con
sent, was allowed to report the following from the
committee:
R<tolled, That the administration of Franklin
Pierce has been true to Democratic principles,
aud, therefore, true to the great interests of the
couu’ry; in the face of violent opposition he lias
maintained the laws at home, and vindicated
the rights of American citizens abroad; and,
therefore, we proclaim our unqualified admiration
of his measure and policy.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Air. Peck, of Michigan, however, having obtain
ing a hearing, said that while he assented to thi
main features of the resolution, he could not omi
to protest against the President’s treatment of tin
Northwest in abandoning them to the perils of tin
navigation of their great inland seas.
THE NEW YORK CASE.
Hendrick B. Wright, of Pennsylvania, wishet
to sei the “Hards” and “Softs” of New A’or!
rectus in em ii aud offered the follow :
Resoteed, Thai the reports of the majority am
minority of the Committeeon Credentials, relatin'
to the divisions of the Democratic party in Nev
A ork, be striken out of ih,• record of the proceed
inas of this convention.
Mr. Beardsley—l am ready to avow the dispori
tion of the section 1 have represented to make thi
l uion complete, and the fruits will be thirty-ti
electoral votes for Buchanan. We have no re
proaches to make.
Mr. Ludlow—l mnst, I will reciprocate the sen
timents avowed by the Chairman ot* the other sec
j tion of New York Democrats. Applause.) We j
shall all be united hereafter. I rejoice in the reso
lotion just passed on the motion of the gentleman i
from Pennsylvania, and .received it as a pledge
from Mr. Buchanan that the union thus effected
i will be recognized by him. Although the Demo- j
cracy, whose votes I have cast, have, from circum- ,
stances, balloted lor Franklin Pierce, we have
, never doubted that New A’ork would give a ma- j
: jority for Buchanan if he were the nominee. And !
now, by virtue of that resolution, Wright’s New i
] ' Ol 'k stands pledged to give her electoral votes to
the nomjnee.
Air. mid low, in order to avoid a difficulty be- I
tween the two New York delegations as to a mem
ber of the National Committee, would suggest the
following as an addition to Mr. Wright’s resolu
tion :
Xesoleed, That as a pledge of our desire to ce
ment the union of the “Hards” and “.Softs” of
Yew York we recommend that the member of the
National Democratic Executive Committee of New
A ork he chosen by the first Union Democratic
Convention to be held in New York.
At the request of Air. Wright, of Pensylvania,
Mr. Ludlow withdrew the resolution, or rather de
layed to move it until Mr. Wright’s resolution
should be disposed of.
Mr. Seymour, of New York, rose and was re
ceived with great applause. He said he was re
joiced that the Convention was disposed to with
draw the record of New A’ork difficulties, for New
York would, in November, write a glorious record
for herself. (Applause). She would return to the
noble position which she had, until recently, so
proudly occupied, and would be found hereafter, as
heretofore, sustaining and defending each several
right of each several State of this Union. H was
a tact worthy of recollection that in the Conven
tion which framed our Constitution, the delegates
from New York—the largest State in the confed
eracy—refused to accept auv larger representation
iu either branch of the National Legislature than
was awarded to the smallest of her sister States,
t Applause). Thus had she distinguished herself
Irom the earliest period as the advocate of State
Rights Democracy.
Mr. Wright’s resolution was now adopted bv ac
clamation.
Air. Black, of Pennsylvania, made a brief but
graceful and impassioned return of the heartfelt
| gratitude of Pennsylvania for the nomination of
Mr. Buchanan—concluding with the following
playful passage, which ‘brought down the house:’
j “l have become identified with the female move
ment on this floor, (laughter) from my support of
the right of the ladies- to the galleries. Now let
! me set Air. Buchanan right on the matrimonial
question, (hurrah ! hurrah for old Buck!! Though
our beloved chteftan has not, in his own person
exactly ( laughter) fulfilled the duties that every
man owes to the sex and to society, there is a rea
son. Ever since Buchanan was a marrying man
he has been wedded to the Constitution, and in
Pennsylvania we do not allow biyai/u/.
The President here announced the result of the
last ballot —two hundred and ninety-sir rote* for
James Buchanan, and declared him to be unani
mously nominated as the Jtemoe ratio candidate for
i President of these United States.
[Tremendous cheering and waiving of ltaudker
i chiefs and of hats within the Hall, responded to !
j by the roar of cannon without, j
\ TOUCHING APPEAL.
j Air. Flournoy, of Arkansas—Air. President, I
move that we now proceed to nominate a candi-
I date for A'ice President. (Cries of “No! no!”i
i Sir,,the most of us having impatiently watched for
us from our far distant homes, wives—lonely wives,
Mr. President, i Cheers.) Will you protract their
sleepless vigils by a refusal to finish what little re
mains to be done, and let every delegate who has ,
done his duty to society, and will not fail to do so
again, fly on the steam cloud to the arms of the
{ mothers of the Democracy of the Republic? (Im
mense cheering.)
But the Convention, although evidently moved,
| was not subdued by this exhortation to fly to the
embraces of their wives, and Mr. Flournoy was
j floored, and the Convention eoollv took a recess i
till two o’lock, p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention was called to order at 2 o’clock. |
The resolution [heretofore published] in relation j
lo the Pacific railroad was called up and a motion, ;

j A motion to proceed to the nomination of a A'ice
President, prevailed.
Mr. AViekliffe, of Kentucky, presented the name ot
Linn Boyd, as a candidate.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, said lie wus instructed
to present the name of a candidate for the Vice
i Presidency, who, though born on the banks of the
Hudson, now dwells on the Mississippi. He nam
i e»l Gen. John A. Quitman, and passed upon him i
beautiful and eloquent eulogium.
Mr. Lewis of Louisiana, presented on behalf of !
his State, the name of John C. Breckenridge, of ]
Kentucky.
Mr. Breckenridge, who was a delegate, took
the floor and was received with great applause, and j
in a brief but beautiful speech declined the muni- ]
nation. Among the reasons given by him were I
that he cordially united with his delegation inure- 1
t -nting another candidate from Kentucky, ana he
was in nomination as one of the State Electors of
that State and expected to thread her valleys and
climb her hills in canvassing in behalf of our
distinnuished Presidential nominee. [Applause.] I
Mr. Chapman, ol Alabama, presented the name
of Beni. Fitzpatrick on behalf of bis delegation.
The Tennessee delegation presented the name
of Ex-Gov. A. V. Brown.
The name of James A. Seddo«, of A’irginia,
was presented by the delegation of another State.
Mr. Seddon was present and declined in appro- j
priate speech.
James ('. Dobbin, of North Carolina, was pre
sented by the delegation from that State.
Herselicl A'. Johnson, of Georgia, was presented j
bv the delegation from that State.
The name of James A. Bayard, of Delaware,
1 was presented.
The roll call having been commenced, .Maine '
voted for Thomas J. Rusk, of Texas.
One of the Texas delegates withdrew his name, j
i ; Trustou Polk, of Missouri, was named as a can
didate. ]
The Missouri delegation stated that he was their
candidate for Governor, and they could not spare
f in in, and therefore requested the withdrawal of his
, name.
The roll was proceeded with, and the result au
, ! nounced as follows:

L Ihe Convention then pioreeded to a second ballot
'? for Vice-President, ami Mr. Breckenridge was an-
J nounced to be unanimously nominated.
’ Mr. Breckenridge was present, and responded to
II the imperative call of the Convention. The nomi
nation was to him entirely unexpected. He made
a modest, heartfelt speech, thanking the Conven
*’ tiou for the honor done him.
'.® There were loud calls for Air Preston, of Kon
u tucky—formerly a Whig member of Congress, who
refused to go with that party in his State into Know
10 Nothingism— and lie addressed the Convention in
an eloquent speech.
Mr. Richardson moved a committee of nine to
d notify the candidates of their nomination. Adopt
k ed.
The committee to appoint a National Committee
d reported the committee, of one from each State,
ig j List deferred.]
w They also reported iu favor of Charleston, S. C.,
1- as the place for holding the next National Conven
tion, and that the delegates be restricted to double
the electoral votes.
is They also reported Air. Ludlow’s resolution [giv-
. T e en above for referring it to the first Union State
Convention in New A ork to appoint a member of
the National Committee for that State
Mr. Beardsley opposed the part in relation to
New l oik, and said if the question of appointing
a member of the National Committee was sent to
that State, it would plant a thorn in their sides.
He moved to strike out that part of the report
Mr. Ludlow said the two delegi t onsl were una- '
ble to agree on a committee man and did not wish
to trouble the convention with so small a matter
and he thought it most appropriate to refer it to
the Democrats of that State when united,
j A delegate moved the name of Geti. Aaron
I W'ard, but withdrew it on objection being made.
A motion to amend so that each delegation pre
j sent a name, and the President put the two in a
hat and draw out one, prevailed.
Mr. Ludlow, on behalf of his part of the delega- i
tion, said that they had lamented the humiliating !
position in which New York had been placed in
this convention by its difficulties. They could not
consent to add to it by putting the case of New ;
York in a hat. They therefore conceded the mem- I
her ot the National Committee to the other sec- j
tion. j Applause].
Augustus Schell was then announced as the i
committee man.
The report of the committee naming a national
committee, and fixing Charleston as the place of
the next convention was then adopt*!.

citizens were adopted.

i their own hands has been agitated bv the officials
i of several northern railroads, who have begun to
i grow jealous of the increasing trade of the express
i companies. The railroad men do not reflect that
' the express business was started in obedience to
! the wishes of the people, who could not find such
i accommodation as they desired in the railroad
j management. Now, that the railroad companies
f see the express powerful and prosperous, they
! make the discovery that the latter are doing n
| business that properly belongs to the railroad, and
j desire to exclude the Express agents from their
I roads and take to themselves all the benefit of the
) labor and energy expended in building up a good
| and profitable occupation.
We do not think the public will leave the old
and well fried Express agents for the incomplete
arrangements of railroad officials. The business
of a railroad demands an attentive supervision,
which would leave no time to attend properly to
an Express. The Express Companies are managed
! by men of experience and integrity, men amply j
responsible for losses, while railroad corporation's j
j are notoriously long winded in law suits.
I The following article from the Albany Brmiug 1
j Journal, shows the result of the speculation on the ■
j part of one of the largest corporations in th#
country.
The establishment of an express, on their own
account, by the New York and Erie railroad, we j
learn, is likely to prove an injurious affair to the j
. interests of tllat road. The express men through- !
out the country arc united in feeling, and look up- ,
j on the matter as a war upon them. ~ The energetic
j and faithful manner in which the expressmen have j
I carried on this business, and built it up from its
I infancy, show them to be men of stamina, and who ;
j "ill not easily give up their occupation. Messrs. ,
Thompson A Co.’s “New England Express” are j
| selling tickets over the Central route of the West,
j The Great American Express Company, having ;
two hundred and seventy-six in New York State,
making over four hundred agencies in all, are
| about to commence selling tickets, and soliciting
i the freight patronage of the public for the Central
j route.
A convention of expressmen throughout the
j country is to be called by circular, which will re
{ suit in strong concerted action by the express com
panies through their agencies in the East and
; West, to influence freight and travel by the routes |
! opposed to or rivalling the Erie.
! The effect of such an army of men, some fifteen
• hundred or more, working in opposition to the
! Erie route, and that without pay, will result in
• great loss to that road, and consequent benefit to
| the New 1 oi k Central and Pennsylvania Central
j routes.
| The expressmen have always heretofore careful*
’ ly avoided any interference with freight or travel,
j except such as come in their own line of business.

The Turkish Mode oi- K\i ini.i ishim; v Fire. A
letter to (he New York Omnumial AJcertier, dated
Constantinople, March 31, says:
This morning there was an alarm of tiro, and as
I happened to be on slime at the time, 1 concluded
to gratify my curiosty by becoming a spectator of
the r l nrkisli modus on' randt ot extinguishing a
fire. The first thing I saw was the rush with the
machines, three little engines, each borne upon
the shoulders ot lour men, who, in consequence of
the urgency of the case, had actually urged them
selves up to a dog trot. People here do not relish run
ning with the machines, as they do in New York
There are no “ b’hovs, ” and the juvenile Turks
lake no interest whatever in what used to consti
tute the supreme delight of a large number of the
youths of Gotham.
Sonic distance behind the engine bearers there
were a couple of demure looking personages with
the brass appendages to the hose. I forgot the
name. After promenading a mile or so, they seem
suddenly to discover that they had no hose, and
a bait was made in front of an engine house. The
hose cart was trotted out as speedily as possible,
and proved to be nothing but an old Turk with s
coil of hose around his neck. Every tiling in readi
ness, the processiou moved on, but before it reached i
the building which bad been on tire, the Haines were
extinguished, and the nu nturnedabout andreturn
ed whence they oamc. Fires hero are often very de
i struetive. The houses are built entirely of wood, 1
and when once the flames get under wav, it is im
; possible to cheek them with their little squirt-ami
contrivances. The engines are nothing but lfttlc
force pumps, standing in a copper ha.-in capable of
holding, perhaps, four pails ot wafer, certainly
not more. The reservoir is supplied from a foun
tain by a row of Turks, who pass the water m
buckets.
Coolness or the late Dr. Warren, or Boston. —
An anecdote is related of the late Dr. Warren,
which is characteristic of his coolness in pci form
ing surgical operations. He was performing one
of the most difficult operations known to science,
i surrounded by numerous students. “Gcutlcmen,’*
,he said, after he liad laid the knife down, “tbepa
! tient is in a critical condition, but land be took out
i bis watch if lie survives live iniuutes there is
some hope of his recovery. Breathless anxiety
was pictured oil every countenance. One, two—
three minutes sued away ; the paticut’s eyes were
closed. Four —live—six and seven minutes passed,
and all faces were turned on the doctor, who closed
his watch and walked away, remarking, gentle
men, the patient has been dead six minutes.
