Mr. Nile*of Balti imorc, with some prefatory remarks, proposed tlao following:? v /?nofceif, That a committee l?e appoint* cd to ciMjiiirc what measures arc nccentury to the protection of the manufacture of Ame rican cofifler. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Mallory from Vermont, said that the objects of the convention antl the wishes of the friends of manufactures had been mis* represented ?, it bad been said that their mo tives were entirely sectional; he therefore deemed it proper to show that the subjects about to be acted on were interesting to all the state;:, and to point out the direction of each manufacture. He therefore offered the following: "litvolx'ed, That a committee (of five) be appointed with direction* to report on the state of trade of the dtiFercnt parts of the United States with each other, u* far as H is (.onTcrned ?n the productions of this coun try." Much tli. cu<;Mc>n took. placv ha to what committer the resolution should be referred. It was subsequently adopted uml referred to a select committee.

False imprcMions hud been mudc us to the motives which in* duccd the convention and us to the objects which might command their attention, hut the grcut mass of the people did expect some thing of importam.tr in the results of their deliberations. It the convention would lim it its deliberations, they would induce Con gress to net according to their recommenda tion, uud thus lay the corner stone of the '* American .system;" uml if we grained too much we should lose tdl, and excite the jeal ousy of those who were not Interested to fur ther the sucrcss of our deliberations. lie had no disposition to shrink front any res ponsibility. lie enmo charged with duties from a primary assembly, and updctstced that a protection to wools and woollens waa the object upon which he wuk commission The delegates ought not to ait in judgment upon public opinion, it wus enough that their constituents had instructed them with then-; and if the convention wandered from the great topics of deliberation, they might at tempt a rev Uinn of the whole tariff of 1824. lie had no objection that the varioua manu factures ol the country be brought before Congress; but upon the subject of wool,and woollens they should niemoriuliae the nation at legislature with <?r/ir?Mta?und geat~~hc alluded to the depressed state of manufac ture*, especially those of gins*,alldeserving attention, yet all yielding to the claims of woollens. _.</ .

On woollen fabrics a duty of forty per cent, the ralnhnums fifty cents two dollars and fifty cents and six dollars until 18So, and utter ? tliat 50 per cent. The debates of this day nre highly inter esting and instructive; but the length of the session rendered it Impossible to translate the notes; they will be given hereafter. Aug. X^MorniHmMmUn. ? A communication from a meeting held in Ilallowcli, Maine, was read. ^ , A communication from the President of the gia*s manufacturers in New-York, read and referred to the committee to address the people. The ( first resolution of the committee on woollens then came under discussion, that importing, a duty of twenty cents per pound upon wool costing not less than ten cents; after % protracted debate, eliciting a mass of statical informa tlon, the minimum was reduced to eight cenu per pound* and the section so amended The bill proposing duties qn woollens, excepted bindings, caps and blankets; when this clause came under consideration, it was proposed to place blankets under a high duty. This matter was under discussion nlion the mail close*4. Mr. lugersoil presented, this mc: .ting, memorial to Congress,upon the subject of the convention, to be signed by each of the mem hci s?consideration deterred for the present J\ ut. Gas. Th< ]furri*f>urr Convention?From a correspondent <tl JHariHskurgh, we Irani that the convention of delegates of friend* to the manufacturing interest, adjourned uu Fri ll.iy evening, at 7 o'clock, after an iuterest ItiK tession of five days. The convention w a* one of the moat resectable body of wen ever collected together in this country^and its de liberations were characterised by great .ibiii ><?nnon>. to the President snd two Secretaries of the convention, and nlso to II. Niles, and M. Carey, for their long and unwearied exer tions in favor of manufactures and internal improvements. We have not the particulars of their transactions; but we expect to receive them by the next mail. A rrspctful and orief memorial to Congress was adopted, and ten thousand copies ordered tobeprinted of the proceedings of the convention, and of nn ad dress to the people of the United State*. The convention have falsified the predic tlonsofthe combination print*, and complete ly disappointed the /ran of an honorable Senator front New-York, that its proceeding would wear a party complexion. Its pro reeding* uiul debates, and even the personal intercourse of the members, were free front any tinge of party; and the hope and confi dence which we have expressed, that they would he so, have been, to our great satisfac tion, fully justified. The memorial to Conger** wan signed by ninety-nine members of the convention, (Gov ernor Morrow having arriv ed from Ohio on the fourth day.) The memorial re commends a duty of 20 ccnts on all wool over the value In a foreign port of 8 cents, and ccnts annually until it reaches 50 cents. Woollen goods, w itli a few exceptions, of less than 50 cents, to be valued at 50 cents; those between 50 cents and $2 50, at $2 50; thote between 82 50 and ?4, at ?4; those be tween ?4 and ?6, at ?6. l>nty 40 per centj 5 per cent, annually to be n(Ui*4r-uutil it amounts to sope* cent. ;-t Iron it recommended to stand at one cent per poun<\. Cotton good*, hemp and flax, and grain, are recommended to the favorable conside ration of Congre: s. Such, we learn, i? an outline of the features of the memorial.

The state of Kentucky contains about 85,000 voters,only about 500 of whom, either dircctly or Indirectly, had any voice in choos ing the delegates which com posed the Frank* fort convention, front which the said dele gates to Harrisburgh derive their authori ty* In the 8 counties whence came the dele gates which composed the Frankfort conven tion, the meetings at which they were select ed were generally called cn short notices ami did not average more than 50 or 60 men, when those counties coutuiued each from 1,000 to 2,600 voters. In the county of Fayette, the delegates to the Fmnkfort convention were selected by the'ehairtnon of the meeting, consisting of about 30 men, without any election by the people or any portion thereof In tho county" of Mercer, tho meeting which chose the delegates to the Frankfort convention, was callcd And held at Danville, on the edge of the county, and a meeting said to be more numerous, was held at the court house, and protested against the right of the delegate* so selected to act in the Frankfort convention) yet were they permit ted to act and vote In the election of dele gates to the Harrisburgh convention. We consider it as little short of arrogance, for Kentucky, as a state, to pretend to teach Pcnnslyvanfti any thing which rclntestoher own Interests; und for a few delegates selec ted in the manner wc have described, to go to her capital and affect tospenlt the voice ofthls state, for the purpose ot guiding or directing her course, is an insult to the understandings of her people. We have regular governments and have a voice in the choice of our agents, and there by a voice in the passages of tlie laws and resolutions by which we are governed, and vvc deny the right ot' n active or design ing men toget up conventions through meet ings suddenly culled, while we are engaged in our several avocations, lor the purpose of representing us, or influencing, directing or controlling our re presentatives regularly chosen.

If it be intended to combine together u number ot status, with the object otoiftueiic ing, dictating or controlling tlic deliberations ot Congress upon uny measure, right or wrong, we protest against it as tatal to the right of the people to govern, und dangerous to the existence of our institutions. >v e nave once seen a convention or dele gate* from several state*, attempting, by tlicit' united power, to force home favorite measure* of Uicir own upon tliu baliuicc of tlie Union, which caused the foundations ol our government to tremble, while an enemy wai? thundering at our Uy such bodies, the north may be arrayed agaiimt the south, the west againnt the east, New Uiiglnnd against the Union, and through a long series of jealousies, faction*, taunts and irritations, the different sections, may be] led to declare an eternal depuration, w'heiii the sun of our liberty will set in blood.
