And the President declared that Lewis Cass,
under the rules adopted by the Convention was
nominated as The candidate Of the Democratic
party Tor President of The United States.
Mr.. Bryce, OF Louisiana, and MIR. Toucey, OF
Connecticut; both rose for The same object, TO
make motion by which those States whose de-
lesales had not voed Tor Gen. Cass would have
an opportunity to give in their concurrence, in
| order that The nomination might be unanimous.
| Those States, by the unanimous consent Of
| The Convention, were then called again-and
| Mr.. McCandless Tor The Pennsylvania dclega-
ton, pledged The vote OF that State, by 30, 600 ma
jorily, for Gen. Cass-ior Mr.. Buchanan, il
would have given much moIe-the vote which
she mad given 10 Gen. Jackson.
Mr. Humphrey, for The Maryland delegation,
pledged he vote OF that Slalc Tor $1,000 majority
Tor the nominee Of the Convention. Her Demo.
cracy would go into The contest with q united
front.
Mr.. Wells, for he New Hampshire delegation,
pledged that Stale iCr majority which shall
come down upon the ranks Of Federalism like an
avalanche.
MIR Turney, for the Tennessee delegation said
that the delegation were united for Cass, and de-
sired that The united vote Of that delegation might
be SO recorded.
Mr.. Toucey, for the Connecticut delegation,
said The delegation from that Slate, though pre-.
ierring Mr.. Woodbury., were hostile 10 no other
candidate. They go for principles, not men; and
he had risen 10 say that Connecticut would 60
into the canvass with united hearts. He desired
that The vote os the States in favor OF Gen. Cas-,
should now be made unanimous, and had desired,
also, thai Connecticut might have the first oppor-
tunity 10 make the motion.
| Mr.. Carey OF the Maine delegation, pledged
the vote Of that State 10 The Democratic nominee.
Mr.. Rantoul, for The Massachusetts delegation,
said that that STATE would do her whole duly,
whether successful or unsuccessful, in The ap-
preaching confess. II her Democracy could not
demand success, they could desire il, when they
| had Tor their candidate native born son OF New
England, Than whom no one within her borders
had done her more honor.
Mr.. Hallel, of the Massachusetts delegation,
made also few spirited and appropriate remarks,
TO The same effect, and closing with The declara-
lion, that the North will take care OF their trou-
bles, (Abolonsm) if their Southern brethren
would only take care of The allies Of he Adolf
lonisls-thc Wings OF the South.
MIR. -, for The Rhode Island delegation,
said that she would do all that she possibly could
for Lewis Cass.
Mr. r. p. Thompson, for The New Jersey dele
CATION, said that New jersey had preferred JAS
Buchanan, bul had changed her vote 10 carry out
tne manifest destiny OF Lewis Cass. Whatever
might lie the result in New jersey, The Democra
cy OF that Stale would go into the contest shoulder
10 shoulder
MIR. Yancey, OF Alabama, said that Stale had
three times voted Tor Andrew Jackson, twice for
Martin Van Buren,, and once Tor James X. Polk
never for Wing, and never had she been a
Wing State. She will still adhere 10 principle,
and when the principles of The platform upon
which the nominee OF this Convention is 10 60
before The people, had been laid down by the
Convention, il those principles were in accord
ance 10 The instructions which Alabama had gil
ven 10 her delegates, Alabama would support that
nominee.
Messrs. Winston Of Ala, delegate al large,
with MIR. Yancey) said The delegation from that
Stale had come into The convention as delegates,
and as honorable men were bound to support its
nominees. He understood, he thought, the State
| OF Alabama well, and as one Of the thirty STATES
OF The Union, she would not sci up herself as a
dictator 10 the res; OF The Union. He belonged to
no ultra sci Of iactionist: al the South who do as
much harm as do another ultra sci of faclioniss
at the North. He believed that Alabama would
give her vote 10 The nominee of the Convention
Mr. Porter King, Of The same Stale, said Ala.
bama would supper, The nominee. Only let the
North do as the gentleman from Massachusetts
had promised, and as Deinocral-lhough a
young Democrat-he would pledge lha, State 10
the nominee oil The Convention.
Mr.. Moore, OF the same Stale, looked upon
Gen. Cass as one OF the greatest and purest OF
American patriots His services in The war OF
1912, and his services during The war with Mex
ico were known and appreciated in Alabama
Patriotic words from The mouth Of Lewis Cas-,
when those OF opposition from other quarters
came like lead TO the hearts Of our soldiers 10
