STAsLYs remarks, made some days since, relating to
himself proceeded to submit remarks the present
condition Of the Democratic party. He considered this
party as party Of progress, party Of the present
and future rather than Of the past For this reason he
had cooperated with IT, and had abored for it with all
the energy he possessed But the Democratic party did
not own him. and he not bound to follow its dictates
right or wrong When however, he could employ this
agent to promote the great ends Of humanity and JUSTICE
then and then only would he with it. The Denocra
tic Convention Of Baltimore composed Of chosen delegates
from the whole country, doubtless only authorized to
select men to be their in the approach
ing contest 1t was also authorized TO proclaim the
world the sentiments Of the Democratic party But he
did not understand it to be the right Of that Convention
TO publish, as the sentiments Of the Democratic party
doctrines which we're held only by portion Of that par
ty. The Convention endorsed the compromise
Of the last Congress series Of concocted by
Clay sustained by Webster and put through by the force

this stealing of Wing thunder-his stealing Of Wing
timber with which to build Democratic platform He
protested against the Interpolation into the Democratic
creed Of any thing which could make the party the ally Of
slavery and oppression The Wing party, if either
the natural ally Of slavery the Democratic party had
much higher and nober mission to perform The resou-
tion affirming the compromise a fraud, and
intended to humbug those who chose to be humbugged

only for pos for power and place. sndor the oaves
and fishes He thanked God he had lived to see the day
when the Wings had put their principles record,
that they could be understood without mistake He de-
cared that eemen could not be prevented from express
ing their opinions the subject Of slavery, and stated
the position which the free Democrats occupy, laid
down in the Buffalo platform. They he asserted, held
the balance of power and would WELD it for the benefit
Of humanity.
