 MT. Hamlin of Maine. In my judge meut. the gentlen an from Louisiana ha: been, indeed, very unfortunate in lis allu sion to the action of the convention o lS44. We are here all brethren. We come from the frozen regions of the north to hold counsel with our brother demo. crats from all quarters of the Union, anc bow in submission to the decisions of this convention. [Applause.l When we have determined upon the object of ourchoice-- whether he be the gallant Butler of Ken. lucky, or any other individual upon whom the preferences of this convention shall fall--he will receive our united, warm cordial, and hearty support. [Great ap- p!ause.] It may not be improper to glance for moment at these outsiders J Who are theyl One is the gallant Butler. [Cheers.l The very name would send shou, thorug, uht 'he land--;t would ring from every valley, and come back in thunder tones from every ill-top. Ap. plause. Then there is Allen of the west Applause. He would melt the ice bergs of the north. Who amongst this assembly would hesitate to fly to the sup. port of such smanl There is also the gallant and chivalric Worth of New York. Applause. But these are al ''outsiders. have another view of this matter. It is well known that we of the north in ls44 were devotedly in favor o one of the distinguished men of this coun. try; and it was believed by many that the readoplion of that rule was designed for g specific purpose. step not to canvass the force oriruth of that allegation but submit to the consideration of every gen, tleman, whether the rejection of that rule now will not be universally regarded as [ direct censure upon the conduct of the convention of ls44? hope that the Iule will be adopted.
 Mr. Yancy. I am confident that m, friend from Louisiana meant no imputatiol upon "Polk and Dallas" when he used tb, term 'outsiders." A gentleman who, il his own State, has seen his majority in crease from tens to hundreds, cannot D, regarded Lut as true adherent to tht great democratic cause
 Mir Morse. I am exceedingly thankful that mysfrien fir, m A a anna has thus step ped forward on the present occasion. IL using the term "out.iders," l meant simpl, to point out the effect which might follow the adoption of,his rule in substituting fol an individual,t indicates in the primary as semblages of the people, some gentleman whose name was at first suggested by a few members only. l spoke also of the danger of establishing precedent. The gentleman has alluded to the increase O the majorities which have sent me to Congress. From eighty-three, that ma- jority has risen to eight hundred, and i that be not an evidence of my democracy 1 may refer gentleman to the record of tht House of Representatives. Upon wha question, for the three last Congresses, i' the name of the humble representative who now addresses you not found enrolled in favor of democratic measures? As fol tke present administration, it has alway. received my warm and most cordial sup port. Loud applause.
 MT. Thompson, of New Jersey. come from one of the smallest States ir the Union; but she can fall back upon hel revolutionary "reminiscences when she mingles with the great democratic family and speaks for herself. [Applause. Why sir, the whig doctrine is, that all demo. crats are ''outsiders." New Jersey claims on this occasion, no candidate for the presidency but when we come here tt determine upon these nominations, we ought not to be told that the adoption o the two-thirds rule will bring up men un ,rthy of the support of the democratic party. That is not democratic doctrine There is no man whom the democrati' party will present, who will not be fairl, entitled to the suffiages of the party. l . l. .y I.a al Il
