who only takes the name of Democrat for the
purpose Of hoodwinking and misleading Let
me ask him would he vote for Mr. Bocock to-
day, if he would rise and say that he was oppo-
/ sed to the Administration.
| Mr.. Hickman frankly and unequivocally re-
piled that he would not, because Mr.. Bocock

believer in eleventh hour repentencc Laugh.
teri lie would continue to regard himself as
IA Democrat, notwithstanding the remarks Of
the gentleman from Virginia. 1t is question
that will ho decided by the whole country
whether James buchanan or those who hold TO
the sentiments Of the Cincinnati platform in its
integrity, embUdy the true Democratic senti-
meRt.
A lengthy discussion ensued between Messrs
Horace f, Clark, of New York, and William
Smith, of Virginia, of political examples.
Mr. Clark said he never was and never Hod
he sectional man. He was the representa-
tive of the great city of New York; a city
which could 70: afford to send a sectional man
to Congress. He did not regard the Republican
party as an abolition party He defined aboli-
ton as the act OF those who would interfere
by violence with the relation of master aud
slave. The recent affair at llarper's Ferry fur
nished strong illustration o. practical abol-
tion in its most hdeous form. There were
abolitioniss who would contribute money or
otherwise to make compensation to the master
for the service of his slave, and in consideration
of the surrender OF his title he knew there were
thousands Of them at the North
Mr.. Smith said he was we'll acquainted with
Mr.. CLARK, and did not believe there was an
abolition feeling in his heart or a drop OF aboi-
ton boou in his veins. lie said MIR Bocock
was not put up because he was an AdminiStTa-
tiOn man, but because he had long been an un-
honored Democrat. He denounced the incon-
Sistcncy Of Mr. Clark's conduct in being cleo
ted as a Democrat, and refusing to act with the
party. In answer TO an enquiry put by Clark,
whether Smith would deem it as good ground
for disunon, if he should find the people of the
North combined as sectional party against
the South, Mr.. Smith replied that whenever
the combination of majority is formed for the
purpose Of warning on the Constitutional rights
of any section Of the Union, am out. Ap-
plauSe.
Mr.. Clark-So am sir, but you have not
answered my question.
Mr.. Smith said he would not undertake 10
say if any particular man should be elected
President he would Immediately favor disso-
luton Of the Union-'S sufficient for the day is
the evil thereof"
Mr., Curry, of Ala, made a lengthy speech
on abolitIoniSm. He did not propose to hold
the Republican party responsible for the excess
es committed by men holding anti-savery o.

Virginia. lie was willing to allow the mantle
OF ignorance to cover the act Of the signing o
the recommendation ofan ncendiary pamphlet
but he made this averment, that the IDEAS and
principles and politics of the Republican party
: are necessarily hostile to the Constitution and
to the rights and interests Of the South; for the
recent invasion made into Virginia although
disavowed and repudiated, and as he had nc
doubt honestly and consceniously by the most
of the gentlemen on the other side, was, in his
Judgment, the necessary result Of their princi.
pies and doctrines. He proposed to show the
effect and the consequences Of this anti slavery
agitation and feeling The Republican party
had been driven by events into assumption OF
doctrines from which a few years ago they wo'd
have shrank. Mr. Curry referred to the law in
some Of the States, giving negroes the right o
suffrage, to the aspirations of the underground
railroad, and to the frequent resistance Of the
fugitive slave law, and argued that the South
had good reason to be under apprehension Hc
asked, If you had the power Of the Government
to abolish slavery, would you not do it?
Mr.. Klgore, of Ind, REPLIED No. not in the
Southern States.
Mr.. Curry--Why in the free States no legiS-
lation would be necessary on the subject, but
you would gradually narrow and limit our
ground until all would have to flee from the
country of our occupancy and residence. say
boldly, that the annating principle Of the Re-
publican party is opposition to the extension o.
slavery in Territories, and tins is the ligament

had sometimes used the prestige OF the Democ-
racy, and had abused its confidence still they
must recoect that it had been fruitful of great
names and great deeds. In war it had been
