The >omiiiaii.>n» I.ntliii.iitsti, Demon*?.tratijii**-. Ia»» .Meeting, Ac, Ar.

The telegraph yesterday morning gave theresult of the National Union ConstitutionalConvention in Baltimore The papersreceivedyesterday afternoon britig lurtlier accounts.?The resolutions of the committee, which wereitnjH'ilectly it-ported by telegraph, are as fol-lows :" Whereas experience has demonstrated that

platforms adopted hy thu parti/.an conven-tions of the countryhave bad theelfect to mis-lead and deceive the people, and Bt the sametime to widen tbe political divisions of thecountry, by the creation ami encouragementof geographical and sectional parties?there-fore,

"Resolved, That it is both the part ofpatriot-ism and of dutyto recognize no politicalprin-ciples other than ' the Constitution ol tbecountry, tbe Uuiou of the States, and the en-forcement of the laws ;' and that, as repre-sentatives of the Constitutional LTuion menoftbe country, in National Convention assem-bled, we here pledge ourselves to maintain,protect and defend, separa ely and unitedly,the.-.- great principles ct public libertyaminational safety again,t all enemies, at homeand abroad, believing that thereby peace mayonce morebe restored to the country, tbe justrights of the peopleand of the'Stats 1. re-estab-lished, and the Government again placed inlhat condition ol justice,fraternityar.d equal-lywhich, under the example and constitu-tions ofour fathers, has solemnly bound everyciUsBB of the United Suites to maintain 'amore perfect union, establish justice, and se-cure domestic tranquility,provide for the com-mon defense, promote the generalwelfare, andsecure the blessings of liberty to ourselvesaudour posterity."

Upon proceeding to the balloting,Mr. Hog-gin, of V irginia,oirered a resolution that thechairman of each Slate shall anu mnce thevoie oteach of the delegates, as instructed bythe respective delegates, and in the event oftin absent district n majorityof the delegatespresent shall determine how the vote of suchdistrict shall be cast, and if two cannot agree,they shall be each entitled to a half vote;which was adopted.

Dr. S. I-'. «_ano, ofKentucky, said Mr. Crit-tenden was not a candidate tor the,nomina-tion, but the delegation Irom Kentucky camehere instructed to vote for him, and he there-tore cast the vote of the State for hitn.

The delegate from Minnesota declined tovote.

THK 11ALI.OT1.

On the first ballot there was no choice.On the second ballot the Hon. John Hell, of

Tennessee,having received a majority olalltheYOtaseast,the fact, oa being known, wasreceived with loud cheers.

On the flrst ballot Mr. Sharkey received 7votes, Mr. Rives IR and Mr.Gogg.ti ?'>. On thesecond ballot Mr. Botts received 7 ~and MrMcLean 1.The following States were not representedla the Convention: California, lowa, Louisi-ana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire,Oregon, Rhode Island, and Sjuth Carolina.Mississippi changed her 7 votes to Hell.

Massachusetts her 1 vote given Houston toBelLNorth Carolina changed tier In votes given,QraaaS- to Bell.

Virginiachanged her -2 votes given Botts toBell.

New Jersey changed her -J votes given Eve-rett and Crittenden to Bell.

Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Mary-land, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Arkansas,and Georgia made iheir votes pnanimousforBelt. Several New York delegates who voted 1for Houston changed to Bell.

The aaaoaaceßßsat of the changes of thevarious votes to the Hon. Johu Bell were re-ceived with loud applause and cheers.

During the changing of the votes severalbenches broke jownin the east gallery, caus-ing quite an excitement for a few minutes, anumberof persons underneath making theirhasty exit through tbe windows into the yard.No harm was done to any one.

Hon. ErestasBrooks, of New York, movedthat the ILiu. John Bell, el Tennessee, lie de-clared the unanimous choice ot the Conventionns the candidate of the Constitutional L'nionparty for the Presidency.

Pnsident Hunt put the question on Ml.Brooks' motion, aud it was adopted by aunanimous vote.

He then declared the Hon. John Bell theuuauituous choice of the Convention as thecandidate for the Presidency, which wasgreeted with loud cheers.

Mr. Henry, of Tennessee,rose and acknow-ledged the complimentto his Sate, and ten-dered the profound thanks of the State fur theirsupport. He declared John Bell sound andable, and the country could not dobetter thanelect him President of the United States. Thespeaker had watched hi. whole political life,and it was spotless?always devoted to tbecommon weal aud good of all America. Hewould prove asound, faithfulaud economicalPresident. Johu Bel! had been culled slosv;but he who was cautious rarely erred. Hewas a fltrepre.entativeofthe party assembled;they were not partisans, but Union men?andJohn Bell is a I'nion man. Thespeaker couldfight under no otherbanner; therevolutionaryblood that beat and throblietl iv his veinswould not permit him to battle under anyother banner. (A voice, "A grandson of Pat-rick Henry." Applause.]

Oughttheyto tit idlyand see the Union dis-solved J tosee the beautiful fabric torndown !No ! it wa3 the duty of all to stand by theUnion to the death. The most glorious andindependentcountry on the earth, the loversof the Union should defend itwith theirblood,with their lives. The Southern men mar-ried the daughtersof New England,andshouldtheir children be brought into deadly strifeupou the dissolution of the Union I He hada brother in lowa, and in the eventof a dis-ruption he would be called upon to dye bisblade in the blood of tbat brother, orbe hungas a traitor to the South. But, by the eternalGod, he would be hung before that brothershould full by his hands. He would mountthe scaffold as lighilyas the bridegroom goesto thebridal chamber. He prayed God thathe mightbecome blind before such a fratrici-dal warfareshall take place. If our belovedc.untry should come, to this, never let free-men meet and look to future years. Give tothe flames the sacred instrument of confede-ration?scatter the dust of Washington whentbis shall come to pass. There waa now achance to redeem the country. The Demo-cratic party had brokeudownat Charlestonon squatter sovereignty, and iv a few daysthe Republicans would break down with theweight of the "Irrepressible conflict;" butthe vessel which beers tbe Uuion party willfloat upon the waters like a thiugoflife.

He was ueoffice holder.aud wauted no office,or, rather, he would like to hold an office forthirty days. He would like to be Presidentfor thirtydays, andbe wouldhavethebusiestadministration that ever was known. Uswould puta card iv the newspapers for thevampires whosuck tbe life-blood of the na-tion to uike up their beds and march, butwould be mightyclear of saying" thy sius beforgiven thee," and would place a guard oneveryavenuefrom Washington, with instruc-tions tocatch the rogues.

The Convention then adjourned fora recess,upon reaasembliug in tbe afternoon?

Mr.Swiuer, ofMo., moved that tbeConven-tionproceed to tbe selection of a candidatefor the Vice-Presidency, aud nominated Ed-ward Everett,which was received with loudcheers.

Ml*. Henry, of Tenu., moved thatby accla-mation tbey declare Edward Everett theircandidate for Vice-Preetdent. [Load cheers.]

Mr. £. Brooks,of If. V.. on tbs part of theNew Yorkdelegation,wouldalso put in nomi-nation EdwardEverett,of Mass. [Increasedcheers.]

Gov. Morsbsad,of N. O,oa tbs part of bisdelacstiaa, woald go for Edward Everett.

Mr. Dan.*, ofArk, also placed Edward Ev-Brett la aoatloatloß.

Mr. Rummers, of Vs., said, In ths name sfthTseea sadweiaae of Virginia, asd ef Vi*.,

rtnia herself, they desired to rlace EdwardEverett on the ticketwith John Bell.Mr. Finnetl, of Ky., desired to place thenameof Washington Hunt, of New York, onthe ticket with John Bell.Mr. Hunt said his own sense of proprietycould not permitbim to acceptor any nomi-nation from this Convention whatever. Itwas uecessary for him to occupy in the c.n-vass a complete stnte of independence, aud itwas honor enough for him Us occupy tbe po-sition he did as presiding officer of the Con-vention, lie could not permit his name tocome info coroi»etttion with that of EdwardEverett.

Dr. llano, of Ky., withdrew the name ofWashington Hunt and nominated EdwardEverett. (Cheers.)Judge Sharkey, of Miss., also placed innomination the nameof Edward Everett.Col. Watson, of Miss., said he was a firmbeliever ina divine providence; and lookingback on tbe histofy of the United States, hehad frequently seen the hand of Providenceinterposed in the darkest honr of the Revolu-tion, and up to this time. He believed theywere as much indebted to John Bell nnd Ed-ward Everett for this upheavingofthe peoplea. they were to any one else. Johu Bell badbeen bis model of a patriot, and Edward Eve-retthad been tinr. ingaiidkindling npth.iires

of patriotism throughout the country foryears past. They had had before them a hostof candidates, either of whom would havedone honor to the position of Presideutofthese United States. He endorsed every sen-timent uttered eulogistic of John Bell, ofTennessee; he was an accomplished statesman,of large experience, lie fullyendorsed Ed-ward Everett?a man better known through-out the land than any living person; his pa-triotism was unstained, his virtue spotless,and his character more moulded after that ofWashington than any man whoever lived.Mr W heeler,of Termont, said theymust no*,forget tho little one of the tribe of .Tudah. Shegave her live votes forEdward Everett.Mr. Joshua Hill, of Georgia, arose to Bayfor the Union men of bis State, that theyhaysuot been unobservantof the character of Ed-ward Everett,and stood ready to uuiie withMassachusetts to give the vote ol their Stateto John Bell and El ward Everett.The Hon. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, saidthe vote of his State would be unanimous forthe nomination ofEdward Everett. He hopedthat it would goout that the North aud Southwould harmoniously live together, and thatthe nomination of Mr. Everett would now beunanimously ratified.The President put the vote, and EdwardEverett was declared unanimously nominatedas ihe candidate ol the Constitutional Unionparty for Vice President.A member from Georgia moved that thenest National Convention be held in that citywhich shall give the largestmajority for-JohnHell aud EdwardEverett;which was adoptedwith applause.

The Convention then adjourned tint die.MASS MKKTINO.Last evening a mass meetingof the Con-stitutional Union party was held in Monu-

ment Square, to hear speeches from severalgentlemen,and give an expression of theirapprovalof the nominees lor the Presidencyand VicePresidency put forth by the Con-vention.

Fatal Ac.idknt.?Oa Sunday last, asIsaac l.osenbalin.of Washington county, Va.,was proceeding to church with nine j»ersoii_in his wagon, includinghis family and someot bis neighbors, the horses took fright anddashed off, upsetting the wagon and throwingthe occupants to ttiegroiuid,injuring four oftbem severely and killinga little boy, son ofMr. James U-tmsey. Mrs. Rosenheim had anarmbroken, aud the other terribly injured.?A daughter of Mr. IJos-enbalm was severelybruised, and an infant barely escaped death?by failing in such manner that the whselspassed on each side of its body. Mr.Seth Ramsey, a cripple, was also hat*ly in-jured. After upsetting the wagon and tear-ing it to pieces, the horses continued theirflight, and goiug some short distance leapedinto a mill-race, where one of them wasdrowned.

Fbom Bi_\_il and tub Kivkb Platte ?Advices Irom Brazil and the Biver IMatte, toMarch 27, are brought by the store-.bip lle-lea.e, which arrived at New York with des-patches and invalids from the Brazil squad,ron.

TbeLa Plata exploringexpedition, uuder the com-mtind of Lieut. Page, was nt Corrientes, andhad accomplished much inexploring the riverPlatte and its tributaries. President Lope,manifested au unfriendlydisposition towardsthe expedition while it was in I'araguay; buttbe experiencewhich he has had of the conse-quences of tampering with Americans deter-red him from throwing any serious obstaclesin its way.

Skntxncb ob a Murdbbbb.?Williamson,charged with seducing a young woman andthen murderingand burning her, was triedand convicted in Rockingham county, N. C,last week. The evidence against him waswholly circumstantial, but very strongandconclusive. He was convicted and receivedthe sentence of death ou Tuesday morning ?

During the trial, the prisoner assumed a boldand Indifferent countenance until some partof thecharred body ot the poor girl was in-troduced, when he, wbo tip to that time,hadnot changed a muscle of bis face, gave way tohis feelings violently, trembling like an aspenleaf.

ARRIVAL OF TUB JAPANESE IN THEEASTERN STATES.

Their Receptien atPanama-Trip te ..spln-walt?lnterestingAccount., ice, ke.

The arrival of the Japanese Embassy atNew York, in the frigate Roanoke, Wednes-day night, bas been published. The vessel an-chored inside of Sandy Hook abont 7 o'clock,and a steam tug from the city immediatelyboarded her, with orders from the Secretaryof the Navy not to come np the port, but losail for Hampton Koads, the next morning.The N. Y. Hrra'd coutains very interestingcorrespondence concerningtheir arrival anddeparture from the Isthmus. The steamshipPowhatan, which carried them from SanFrancisco, arrivedat Panama ou the Uth ult.A letter says:

The Powhatan was seen comingup the har-bor early this morning, which caused a geuer-al excitement on shore, and on board theAmerican men-of-war and other vessels inport. She came up the harbor in gallant.tyle, the Japanese flag at tho fo**e, and the"stars and stripes" at the spanker, salutingthe flag of Flsg-CMDcer Montgomery, of theUnited States steam-frigate Lancaster, whichwasanswered byaminister's salute (seventeenguns.) TheLancaster and Saranrc (Americanmen-of-war) and all the shipping in the portwere decorated, the Japanese flag at the fore.The (..olden Age, the Hag-ship ot CommodoreWatkins, of the Pacific Mail Company, wasdressed with the Hags of nearly all nations.Soou alter the Powliaiau pi.ttt toanchor, Cap-tain Wm. H. Gardner, commander of theRoanoke, and Captain A. S. Taylor, of tbeUnited States Marine Guard belonging to thePowhatan, went on board.

The Japanese were delighted on meetingCaptain Taylor, whom they had not seen be-fore since they left San Francisco. CaptainTaylor has had special charge ol the Embassyeversince it left Japan, he being the only onewhokiii-w any tilingot the Japanese, character,whose knowledge had been derived fromtraveling amongst them.

Captain Taylor treat in the I'owhatan tothe Last Indies on her last cruise som.-t twoand a hall years ago, from thence lo Jeddo,and other ports of Japan, where he spent ayear or more travelingabout the country.

The Japauese wiii be astonished at thechange when they goon board the Roanoke atber immense size, and the splendid manner inwhich she has been titled np for this occasion.In the courseof the day their baggage was gotout and taken ash_reand sent to Aspinwail.?There were four car loads, amounting to overeighty tons. Some of their more valuablebaggage?such as the "treaty box,"containingthe treaty?was taken along with the Com-missioners. They never allow that box out oftheir sight. Oneof the otlicial.* special dutyis to look after the "treaty box." Early thismorniugCaptain Gardner and Captain Tay-lor went alongside the Powhatan, iv the tugboat Tohoge, when the whole party, number-ing seventy-one persons, and their valuablebaggage, was trauslerred in less than oue hourand the boat on herway lor the wtittrf.

This early start (six o'cloci;) was renderednecessary on account of the lide. la order tobe on hand, so thut there should be no failure,Commodore Watkins, of the Golden Age,courteously invitedCaptain Gardner and(lap-taia Taylor to stop on board bis ship which islying near the Powhatan. This invitationthey accepted, otherwise, ills doubtful whetherthe tug-boat could have (>oi.e Irom the wlmrlbo early in tbe morning,and succeeded in get-ting ihem oil". When thu tug-boat left, theband of the Powhatan played "Hail Colum-bia," followed by seventeen guns, whi.b wasanswered by the Lancaster and Suranac?asort sf fern _*? joie. All vessels iv port had theJapanese ifag at thefore,aad the "StarsaadStripes" at the spanker?a most beautiiulsight. The Japanese flag is white, with alarge red ball iv the centre, symbolical of thet<ii n.

From the crowd which had gathered In,around and upon the top of the wharf anildepot, oue would suppose that the whole pop-ulation of ihe Centra: American republicshad60SBS tosee theJapanese. Two lines ofcoloredmilitary, extending from the landing to Ihecars, about four feet apart, were formed in or-der to give room to pass. The Ainbas .tdors.Censor, Vice Governor, Interp.'tter, CaptainTaylor, Captain Gardner and Mr. Center,walked in front, with the "treaty box," car-ried by four men, diiectly behind; next thesixteen officials ol lower rank, men the flftyservants. The Ambassadors and two otherofficialsnamed, were placed in the after car ofthe tram, which was new, ami bas never beenused. In ths next car was seated the next inrank, then in the next the servants. Therewere five,besides the baggage car, in the train.An extra train of cars, locomotive, engineer,tlremen, brakemen and conductor, were sentover Saturday morning, to wait till the Ja-panese arrived,to take them over the road.

At the half-wayhouse a magnificent lunchwa< spread,equal to the Aldermanic "tea par-tie-" of the "Pewter Mug." Unlike those"tet parties," where a bottle of 11eidsick orbox of cigars after "breaking up" would Ik? asi-riosity worthyof Ilaruum's Museum, therewere baskets of champagne, abundance ofchoice fruit, eatables of every description tuft.Therewere live car loads?some two hundredpersons who partook (all wbo choose to) olthe hospitalities of the Railroad Company.?Rite, tea, fish, vegetables, __c, were served upfor the Japanese. Whit, t the traia was stop-ping the Japanese were out making sketchesof the locomotive, cars, station-house, birds,trees, plants, flowers, and almost everythingthey saw.

Thers are some dozen or moreartists, somewho take drawings of.animals, birds, Ac, somelandscape, sketch, s, Ac.,?each having a dis-tinct and separate departmentassigned him.?BjHdity and correctness with which they

would a.tonisli eves a Yankee,i the cars started from the depot ata they showed not the least surprise,neverdo oa any occasion,but express-r delight by jumping up, laughing,.clappingtheir hands, smoking, andis ot gestures. The locomotive thatbrought the train over, was the Man/.aniilo,one of the lines' and largest on the road. TheI engine was decorated with three flags?theJapanese on the right,New Grauadian on theleft, and the '-stars and stripes" in the middle.

The average speed in coming over wastweuty-live miles an hour, except a short distance incoming up the sharp grade on the Panama end

Iof the road.Oaarrival of the train at Aspinwail the

boats of the Roanoke were ashore to receivetbeir guests. Ingoing nfl', flrst was the FlagOfficer's barge with the Ambassadors, ChiefCensor, Yioe Governor, Interpreter, CaptainGardner aud Captain Taylor. Next tbe thirdcutter, with sixteen officers of dilfereut rank,followed by two whale boats and second cut-ter, with servants. On b.ard the Roanoke,the marine guard, under command of Lieut.Fontaine, was drawn up, the officers in uu-! dress with epaulettes, the sailors in whitepants, blue shirts and straw hats. The Am-bassadors were received at the gangway by

jFlag Officer W. J. McOluuey, and presentedto their Excellencies by Captain Gardner.

Goingon board, the band played "Hail Co-lumbia," the marines presented arms, threerolls of the drum, the Japanese flog run up ts jthe fore and saluted with seventeen guns.

The baud, not knowing the Japanesena-tional air, played "Hail Columbia"?musici which they seem to understand and appreciateI>eile. tiy well. Soonas the officials wereallon board the Ambassadors, Censor and ViceGovernor were invited iuto the Flag Ufficer'squarters, and partook of adejune served npiv elegant style. Tbe officers of lower rank(sixteen)were served iv the ward room, thesenants on deck.It wason this occasiou thatthe "treaty box"

was for the flrst time lost sight of by tbe offi-cer appointed to look after it. This was oc-casioned by thebox not goingoff iv the boatwhich carried the officer j but it wasnot longout of bis sight; 31r. Taylor went ashore audbrought it ou board a tew minutesafter iheofficer arrived.

Tbe "treaty box" is about three feet long,two feet in depthnod eighteen inches wide.?This is covered with red morocco leather,handsomelystitched about theedges. Tbe boxis euclosed in a light frame, made of slatsabout two inches wide aud half an inch thick,resemblingvery much the frame about Her-ring's safe.

Tbis box is carried by two poles, about tenfeet long,borueon the shoulders ot four men.There are, in fact, three boxes which form theoae covered by leather. One box containsthe letter from the Emperor, or Tycoon, to thePresident; oue, the Japanese treaty, in theirowu language;theotheracopy of the treatyivEnglish, which they bring to have siguedby the President?the original haviug beenburet np in thegreatfireat Jeddo two yearsago-

There are fifteen boxes containing valuablepressnu forthe President oftheUnited States.The quarterspreparedfor tbe Japanese onboard tueRoanoke are equal, if uot superior,to thaiof any of the steamships.
