nominee. Nothing deserves attention but what was embraced in his 'smnority re- port" What he may have said subse- quently in his mad-ravings and turbulent Accommodations at Charleston and else- where, is immaterial to the question for, ! fit had been, certainly. Mr. Yancey would have included it in his report. The 7th resolution of the report declares un- qualiiedly that "any interference by Con- gross with the subject of slavery would be productive of the most dangerous and alarming consequences ;"-thereby mani fcsting wish to flee the frightfal Apaga of slavery, and labor for the promotion and elevation of democratic interests, which more immediately involve the well fare of country. After the wishes of the Democracy had been made known and received with joyous exclamation, Mir. Yancey presents his "Minority Report" !" charging our nominee with entertaining opinions antagonistical in their nature to the genius of our Southern Institutions. What does Mir. Cass say in his reply to the coa,mittee of correspondence '! That he had ''careii,!y read the resolutions of the Democratic National Convention and that he adhered to them as firmly as he approved them cordially :" thus by impli- cation declaring, what he on former oc- casion expressed his opinion to be, that the subject of slavery was one with which Congress had nothing to do, and that it should be left alone to the people of the territory to make whatever disposition of the institution might please them best. What, Democrats. would you ask more than this Mir. Cass deprecates the ex- istence of slavery, but should we object to him on that ground Certainly not. If, then, Congress have nothing to do with the question of slavery, and it be left alone to the people of the territories, what harm 1 would ask, can ever grow out of it
 The Democrats have established their platform of principle and chosen their leader. Let them gird on their armor and rally around theN proud champion of their principles, who with the colors of De- nocracy floating to the breeze, will lead them on to triumphant victory. The mo- ble vindicatcr of the "Liberty of the Seas" can suffer but little from the scuril- ous attacks of political disorganizcrs in Alabama. Had MT. Yancey been satis- fled with the scrupulous exactitude which he professes to have observed in relation to the instructions which he received from the State Convention, we would not have so much ground of complaint. But no. He has avowed his intention not to sup port the nomination., but on the contrary, to do all he can to defeat it. Determined in their course, Mir. Yancey and his polit- ical proselytes are writing private letters to their democratic friends in the State for the purpose of securing their approval and instrumentality in the work of disorgani- zation by running a Southern candidate. Would to the Guardian Angel of Democ- racy, all their efforts might prove abor- tive The question has been repeatedly asked,- if MT. Yancey thought by entail ing defeat on the democrats, he would be enabled to effect his own promotion and place himself at the head of a new party :? The developments of the Future will show.
 Democrats of Lownds One word of appeal to that spirit which animated your breasts and wooed the Angel of victory to hover around the democratic standard so proudly borne aloft throughout the canvass of A. Buckle on your shields, replen- dent with the inscriptions of Cass and But Ter, and with truth for your motto, the vic- tory shall be ours. Action, "God-like ac- tion," becomes imperatively necessary when we reflect that able and talented men of our own party, are hurling the fire brands of dissension into our raks, and endeayorng to procure disgraceful over- throw. Prove to all the world that rather than suffer discontinue, you would prefer to support the man, whose ''doubts" have been resolved into convictions" and who embodies in his political code the true principles of the Great Democratic party. Once more, Democrats Remember the Ides of November!
 A DEMOCRAT.
