that's why want to send a Delegate 70 Balti-

slavery trap set all over the country, and cover

There bit Of nice-flaVored Buchanan bait here,
and strong Cass bait there and little Doug

is a my sUeriouS bit Of Butler bait nicely rolled

don't swaller none Of them bats, and no man
don't get my vote for President without he
comes right up to the chalk first, and declares
up and down that he isn't no slavery man.
DoCToR BRIGGs.-Mr. Chairman, it seems to
me neighbor johnson has got hold Of the hot
end Of the poker, after all, and has fairly got
to stirring the Presidency with it, whether he
will or no. So that my notion to 60 into the
question Of the Presidency first seems to be
carried without being put to vote. Now sir,
am glad to see that Mr.. Jones and Mr.. john
son agree exactly in ,one thing, however wide
apart they may be on other points. That is,
that they wont neither of 'em move astep in the
dark, nor stir an inch till they know where they
are going to. MIR. Jones won't vote for Del
egate till be knows his man, and knows exactly
what that Delegate is going to do. And Mr..
johnson won't vote for President 1.-The knows
what he is going to do.
SOLOMON JoNEs.-Nor won't yDte for no
President till know he's all right, ald isn't no
Abolitionist.
JOHN ROBINSON MIR. Chairman; nor /
won't vote for no President that amt friend

SARGENT JOEL DOWNING my part, Mr..
Chairman I've made up my mind not to vote

he was alive, aud the Democracy must see that

SARGENT JOEL said freedom for every
body, and I'll stick to it. You can't split a
hair; nobody can't split hairs now Mr.. Cal
boun's dead. And you can't split principle,
and | say the foundation of the Democratic
| principle is freedom for everybody; and I'll
| stick to it. And | want President that will
carry that principle out straight on all sides, in
Hungary and everywhere else And when We
choose our Delegate to Baltimore, shall move
to give him instructions to vote for Kossuth
candidate for the Presidency.
SOLOMON JoNEs.-Then, sir, you are an Alb.
olitionist, and your candidate will be an Aboli-
zionist, GDd the whole South will be agin you
and you'll find, if you can't split hairs, you can
split the country, and the whole Democracy
will be torn to flinders, and we shall lose all the
offices.
SARGENT JoEL.--I don't fight for offices,
fight for liberty freedom for every body that'l
my motto.
DEACON SNow.--I feel it my duty, Mr.,
| Chairman, to caution our Democratic brethren
not to be too rash. think we ought to have
President that will be prudent, and not get us
into any tanghng alliances with other nations
and will carry ont the safe neutrality doctrine
laid down by Washington.
