~laration that they will not vote for the demo-
cratic ticket is a virtual announcement Of their

but their prominent speakers on the ~occaSien

more emphatic language. We quote again from
the official report:

people of PENNSYLVANIA that he wiH not cote for
the democratic candidates, though he agrees soih
one of them on the very question aohich has led to
TIE rupture, and concludes his appeal with an
unmistakable declaration that the organization
of the democratic party is no longer entitled to
his allegiance. Thus it is proposed to the de-
mocracy of Pennsy lvania not only to ignore the
principles of their party, but also to abandon
its organization.
Another, and still more important, develop
ment of this intended convention, as shown by
their resolutions and speeches, is the bold an
n1uncement of the most offensive abolition doc
trines. The purpose of forming a close alliance
with the black republicans is not only clearly
toreshadowed, as we have seen, but is almost
avowed in so many words. The constitutional
rights Of the southern States are set at defiance
and the solemn judgments of the Supreme
Court treated with disregard or indifference;
whilst the purpose of forcing a slave code upon
the people against their will, and in violation
of the constitution, is falsely imputed to the
democratic party. They have borrowed for the
occasion, from the vocabulary Of black republi-
canism, the thread-bare slang Of the abolition
lists. and, in their weakness and folly, expect
by such means so deceive the intelligent free
men Of the country. Upon all these questions
the position of the democratic party is well de-
fined, and none need to doubt it who are will
ing to live up to the requirements OF the con-
s%titution, and yield to every section of the
country their just rights.
If any man doubts the Justice Of our criti-
icisin upon the resolutions which we have quo
ted. we want him to hear an authoritative expo
sition Of them, made at the time, and by one
who ought to know, and Whose speech is in
corporared into the official proceedings of the
convention. We quote again from the ofici~
record, and ask our readers to study well thu
allowing significant language of the Hon. Johr
, Hickman, from whose speech it is taken:
"Let this truth be made prominent: that ther,
| is an eternal antagonisln between freedom ant
r slavery. The constitution of the human mine

l the one or the other must eventually gain tn
