democratic party which, for the triumph Of democratic
principles would consent to yield It's right to the

most signal manner and would confer lasting favor
upon the whole American poople, would forfeit my
self respect, should resort to any rickery OF

section into the convention recommend that the do
legates Of both sections be heard in the conven

recommend that the most ample concessions Do made
by tho delegates Of both sections and that both should
rather desire to resign their than to suffer
