 Mir. Yancey remarked that Alabama had three times voted for Jackson, twice for Van Buren and once for Polk, and ne- yer for whig nor had she ever been a whig State. She would still adhere to prirciples--and the principles of the plat form upon which the nomination of this Convention was to go before the people had been laid down by the Conventional these principles were in accordance with the instructions which Alabama had giv- en her delegates, Alabama would support the nominee.
