party. In the next place, Is TO make war upon the
South People ask why the South strenuous in
regard to this question: IL slavery has nothing TO do

has had canddate the South has not had for
twelve years, and look POM any man or
any body of men with suspicion who are en-
deayoring TO excite a spirit In the free States which
would drive from the sphere of candidates the great pa
troc OF the South who now belong to the democratic
party We have enough to do, fellow citizens, to attend
to New York We have carried, your resolutions
recy say, this State by brilliant majority at the last
eec.ion-carred II alone-carried it without foreign
assistance. We have converted a majority of $4,000
against last year into majority of 5000 against the
republicans this year We have done il by cordial
tionby standing together a one man-and are now in

sury II brought the great empires Of Texas, and
Louisiana, and Florida, and California, into this
confederacy II has given peace and tranquility 10 the
Union. II is destined in the future 10 do far than
has yet accomplished and your resolutions very
properly, in Judgment allude to what the democratic
party can accomplish. 1t can not only hold the Union
that have and govern with economy and order, but
gain and large popuous and wealthy regions
to coDfederacy 1t can throw open that great gate
way the Gulf OF Mexico and the Mssss pp river which

allv honorably without violation OF existing treaties
and without disturbance OF the peace Of the oonfedeacy
but II must stand togcher-t must stand un,edit must
dispose of It's own controversies by self must form
foreign alliances with republicans or Americans. We
beat either OF them both OF them together Il IL

Americans-no matter how II may organize where II
may combine. But to do that must treat each other
with generous conhdence-know no North no South, no
Fast no West Go together "a one man and this great
and glorious confcderaey will soon become the model
il is the admiration OF the civilized globe. Zap
RICHARD BrsrEEp then took the stand and said The
Presidential contest OF 1856 will long continue
bic epoch in political history OF our nation and the
suit Of that deserves to be placed upon record
one Of the highest democratic achievements New ele
ments had been invoked for the success Of principles an
tagonstio 10 the plan OF republican government
pounded by jefferson and Jackson, personal
availability was the basis upon which the oppo
stion was organzed aud the issue which
actually tended 10 the people. On the hand
the candidate was man OF ripe age and experience

and abroad had rendered signal and usirous service
his country in all the posts which be had been assigned
-one who from his earliest manhood had been known
and honored by the people whom he had thus faithfully
represented. On the other hand was raw recruit with
out experience az legislator or statesman and whose
chief claim 10 the high distinction of being placed in
nomination for the Presidency consisted in being
an almost entire stranger To all but two States
OF the Union. The platform O; principles OF which the

the fullest measure OF personal and political liberty
consistent with their perpeluation, the well known
policy OF the one democratic nominee. To make the
sanctty of the confederation secondary to question or
domestic policy, TO create wider feuds between the
sister states. TO reduce the national standard OF
free citizenship, and 70 create an odous political
olgarchy-n word to .slci the Union sldcn-
was unblushnely the avowcd policy Of the republican
candidate with such an issue presented 10 the people,
IL not 10 be wondered at that the country was agatcd
from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific shore especially where
the larger cities and densely populated rural districts
