No Charleston Conyeiilion will save them
unless they come forward and accept the
doctrine which lhcy now repudiate. No
power-no patronage can save them.
believe, day, il the official vote
had been stricken out, and the people
voted without interruption, there would
not be 10000 Democrats in Pennsylya-
ma IN favor vi the policy OF The present
Administration. Hence they are bound
to submit to crushing defeat hereafter or
else come forward and on Bonded knees
accept the policy which we stand bv to-
day. That is exactly the issue. / am
We'll aware that those, in high stations in
Washington and elsew here are felicitating
themselves that those who act with me
will be divided, and l know they are
looking forward to the day when. bv
means,o OF packed conventions, they shall
set such nominations as they wash. But,
gentlemen, the day of independents men
has arrived great cheeringl the time
has come when no nomination is binding
that discards great aud imperishable
principle. sd Cheers. % say further
more, and say it deliberately, as one man,
speaking the sentiments of many thons
ands, that If the Democratic party de-
sires success in 1850, they must get rid
OF this Administration nc once and for
ever cheers, it is in the way. 1t stands
IN the pathway OF progress it belongs
to the past; IL is identified with the past,
and if they undertake to carry it along,
it will be like a healthy man CARRYING 4
Putrid corpse upon his shoulders. There
Is no rescue but in this policy--no deiv-
erance but in, this course. Those who
have been hoping that Mr.. Buchanan
m1ght come down with popular decree,
hope 9ivain. What can he 10 /? Can
he recall his hounds now assailing Ste
phen A. Doug las Without osing dig nity?
Can he follow the example of Brecken-
ridge, who has had the manliness to come
forth and raise his hands in horror at this
indecent prescription ? No; for he is
the .authorof it! He,.is worse than this,
he Is the author of the most scandalous
doctrine that has been promulgated in
this country; he dares tel! us that the
President is the Government. His mot
to is not like that OF Old Hickory, "The
Union, ii must and shall be preserved, -
but { The President and his policy must
and shall be sustained" Il is in vain to
hope that man committed to dogma,
to despotism, like this, can be sustained
by any party. He is in the way : his
men are in the way, and they must move
OF and let the great train of Popular
Sovereignty pass on without them
Cheers. | know such language may be
regarded as reasonable, but it is time we
understood each other. I say no man in
Mr.. Buchanan position can be sustain
ed, and the party attaching itself to its
fortunes will go down deeper than did
plummet ever sound. TCheers. This
Lecomptonism has been the greatest dis.
aster that has ever befalen any party. It
has done good TO nobody, except few
miserable miscreants who wanted Office. 4
AS | said at Tmrytown, the blacklist of
Republicans could go to Washington and
tell Mr.. Buchanan he admired his Lee
compton policy, and he was washed white
and clean, and rewarded with any office
he desired. Nothing has flown from this
thing OF lecompton but black and bitter
waters. When in Pennsylvania thous-
ands OF iaborers were starving for work
and nearly for bread, when credit was
gone aud business paralyzed, and when
the people turned to the mau whom they
had regarded for twenty long years with
admiration to protect American industry
they did this, the only reply |
heard was Lecomptonism' | say here
that SO far as this question of projecting
American Industry is concerned, speak
as member of the Democratic party, }
am for it in all lis length and breadth.
Tremendous cheering | have never
been what is called Free Trade man
l have always believed in specific duties Il
but when | see. how the South adhere,
how all their platforms and pledges and
ceeds tend to their own benefit, | am for
this doctrine of protection, or any other
doctrine chat will he p us here Cheers
The South comes 10 Washington with
united, delegations demanding her rights;
The South can be in favor of the inhuman
traffic in slaves. Notwithstanding our
treaties with foreigrpowers prohibit such

never read out. But let New York talk !
about protecting American industry, and
we are told it is out of the record. out OF |
the party, or out of the Cincinnati plat
form, Hence i is | am willing to 60 the
extreme upon this issue,
How Buchanan FELL 1NLWc are
fast tending to the formation of sectional |
parties. Hitherto the Democrats have
boosted that, dis tendency found an eli
lectuai barrier in their organization.-
But the vaunt, if true heretofore, is true
no longer. Observe the ground taken
by their candidates at the North ON Le.j
and on the tariff; then read the
of their Southern Press |
He must be blind who does OF perceive
the opening ciasm which separates the |
Northern Democrats from the Southern |
