vi The FReesoH Triumph---MOre
er-F tD Proof. 80
There Is wisdom in the adage, that awhatever
Is worth doing at ALL is worth doing we.' Hence,
we have for the last several days, preserved what
ever evidence has fallen in our way calculated to
establish the fact which we have charged, and re-
peat, that the nomination OF Mr.. Buchanan was
4 Freesoil triumph. Some of that evidence we
have already laid before our readers, and shall
now proceed to submit some additional

trict in Virginia, be proclaimed in advance. that
the nomination of Buchanan would be Freesoil
triumph This was high and official Democratic
authority. We also publish the first and 10th
ballots ia the Convention, which conclusiyely es-
tablish the fact Let us recapitulate: In the Con.
vention there were 40 votes from the slave
States. and TIC from the Free States. On the
first ballot Buchanan had 81 Southern votes, 81
little over one-fourth Of the Southern vote, and
1Of from the Free States, Just three fourths OF
his vote There WIS very little change, up to the
fifteenth ballot, when Buchanan received l6S, his
highest vote previous to the nomination. Ofthese,
81 we're from the slave States and III from the
Of his vote. These facts show whence his princi-
pal strength came, and that the great mass Of the
Free State Democracy supported him. On the
first ballot he received three.ffths Of his votes
from the Free States, and on the fifteenth ballot
he received nearly three-fourths OF that vote.
This evidence is OF itself conclusive to any impair
tial, candid man, but we have additional the tes-
timony OF men of all parties who we're on the spot
during the session of the Convention, who saw the
workings and heard the conversations. But be-
fore introducing them, permit US to present the
evidence Of the Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, whose Democracy no one
will question.
.1n q letter written Just before the meeting Of
the Cincinnati Convention, he said there were
certain movements then going on in Washington,
the purpose Of which was to adopt, In the Cincin-
matt Convention. compromising course on the
subject Of slavery to conciiate the unsound wing
of the Democracy, and TO nominate the candidate
most acceptable to the Freesoilers. This writer
further added, that the Southern Representatives
were engaged in this business for the sake Of
success -
Stick a pin there, reader. and then permit US
TO place on the stand the Democratic editor of the
Washington City Star, who was in Cincinnati
during the session Of the Convention In a letter
TO his paper, he said:
