Mr. Avery, of North Carolina, from the Committee on Platform, said that a majority of the Coinmittoe were ru-uly to report, but the intnoiity wanted a few momenta.

The platform embodied Hoard's resolutions, and Bigler'a and Uoohrane'a, Resolved, Thr.t the p'atform adopted bv itie Democratic party at Cincinnati be ali'tre', ?i h the following explanatory resolutions : Fiist.

Wheieas, one of the grertest litresaities of liie ape, in a political, commercial, postal, and military point of view, in a speedy communication between the Pacific mnl Atlantic coast*. Therefore, he it Hrsolitd, That the i>eiuoc;alti; parly do hereby pledge ttiemselvea to use every means in their power to secure the pa* nape of some bill to the Constitutional nu thoiity of Congress for the construction of a I'acitie Railroad, from trie Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, at the curliest practicable moment. Mr. Avery then explained Inn* Mr. Bayard's resolution had hecn amended M_" * I I ?

The slaves of the &>uth are the defendants of those sold by the North o the South, ile asked it to Ue hurne in mind that the slaves of Mississippi ?nd Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky were settled from slates north of Mason and ^tiioii's tine. Mr. Samuels, of Iowa, from the mi uority, made the following report: I /{'Wird/l'iut we the Democracy of the Union, in Convention assembled, hereby d*. clare our affirmance of the resolutions unnu irnoiisly adopted and duclnred as a platform of principles by the Democratic t'ooven lion at Cincinnati, in the yertr 1856, believtug th it Democratic principles are unchangeable hi their nature, w b*" applied to the same au'iject mates, and We n Oonirnend as the Only farther resolutions, the following : Inasmuch 114 differences of opinion exist in the Democratic parly m to the nw lure and extent of the powers of a Ter {itorial Legislature, and as to the pow?ra and duties of Congress, under the Con tiluiion of the United States, over the institution of slavery within the territories, 2.

XI r. S auiuela said the resolutions were the same hs reported l?v the gentlemen from Ohio \esterday, % iili tire exception i of the second resolution, for winch the | minority hud substituted the one conI tained in the piesenl report. Mr. Samuels spoke in favor of his re | port. The report of the nixj->ri y demands Congressional intervolition. The minoritv j eschews it. The minority reposed every I thing in the Supreme Court, ami pledges the pemocracy to nbxle its determination. ' It added to the Cincinnati platform what ] was deemed essential, The minority had j imbibed their lessees an popular soverI eigntv from such teachers as Cobb, IItin | ter. Bayard and oilier Gamaliels of the | Southern Democracy. They were not to blame, but their teachers. It is the conviction of the mi nority that they do right, ami they must decline to surrender it. Mr. Yancey had appealed to them to do so, for the sake of compromise. That was a beautiful I compromise to yield everything asked and have nothing conceded to them. The , majority report ca le I for ihe inter ! vention of the gr.yt minem in ail it* de I partmenis. Nun intervention entirely es ch--*ved. \\ hat is to I e the result of its j adoption ? It is to hand over one half ' the Democratic party into the power of i the Republicans !

A party which had acquired great i power in the South, the Know Nothing I party, had caused the present co dition j of things in the No til.

Will you uot, then, give us what ?*e ask, avert Ink issue, and sate the \Jtiion \le admitted the right of a State to judge for itself in a cave of last resort. Mr. Hut'er of Massachusetts presented the Cincinnati platform, pure and unde tiled, fiom the minority of the Committee, i He moved it as an amendment to the | amendment. j Mr. Huller assailed all the reports, and defended his own.
