One day is definately not enough time to acclimate them to each other. Each cat is different. When I introduce a foster, I know exactly how my guys react - Harry is first to say hello as soon as the newbie arrives. Then Allen stops in that afternoon. Flutter is interested but hisses up a storm for a few days. Abby might be comfortable around the newbie a week later, preferably two... unless its a female then she takes a month to agree the newbie isn't such a terrible cat. Pouncer? Forget it..... he'll still be hissing 6 months later(ah, my little boy is just so sensitive!)
I tell you all that to let you know things take time and they all will acclimate to changes and new cats different than another cat would.
Keep them separated for a few days. Give them a blanket to sleep on tonight then switch blankets tomorrow so they'll smell each other. Let them at at each other under the door. Let them meet nose to nose just for a few moments then close the door again. Slowly let them meet in an open room for a few mintues and slowly build up the amount of time spent together. They shold never be left unsupervised until you are absolutely certain they are good together
