of man to his slave beyond the reach control of the
Federal Government in every respect whatever, Zap
plause.)
The extreme Southern States, when the Constitution
was adopted, oresaw that the time would when the
Northern free States would have the majority and hence
they required in the Constitution the recognition Of sla
very as local institution existing in each Sateunder
the laws thereof and not by virtue of Federal authority
Cheers They were not willing to enrust the Federal
Government with the control of the question of slavery
lest the Northern free soil majority might control the
Federal Government and TINS diyest the title the
Southern man had to his slave voice, "Thats right
Hence they denied the right of the Federal Government
to interfere with the question of slavery except to pro
vide for the retlrn of the runaway slaves stand by
that fundamental principle this day deny the right
of Congress either to prohibit slavery, to control it.
TO regulate it, or to protect it, or to interfere with it in
any case whatsoever except provided in the COnsttu
ton, in the clause to which have referred.
The abolitonists do not like this doctrine They wish
to organize parties on sectional lines so as to rally every
man North under one banner, and every South
der another banner and then have Presidential clec
ton determined by geographical lines so that the
strongest section will outvote the weaker That
would be very nice arrangement for these modern
publcans, but regard the organization of sectional
parties as the greatest calamity that could possibly be-
ia this country, although belong to the strongest
ton
lines instead of the principles of equality and justice
this Government will become instead of bless.
ing [Cheers Remember that the Father of his Coun-
try in his valedctory address to his countrymen
toned to beware of sectional parties great
est calamity that could befal this glorious Union

Then let me ask you what is the remedy for this
tonal strife? There is but one, and that is stand by
the old Democratic creed-(appause)-th old platform
of the Democracy, which declares the
interference by Congress with slavery either in the
ri n m
bia. (Great applause.)
Since arrived here tonight, friend read to por-
on of speech delivered by Mr.. Breckinridge Lexng-
ton, Kentucky, yesterday. In that speech find that Mr.
Brecknrdge justifes the breaking of the Democratic
Convention and the division of the Democratic party to
the great danger of the election of Black Republican
on the ground he says, that the regular party insisted
upon particular dogma, and that he would not take
anybody rs candidate for the Presidency who the
representative of that dogma (Cheers
Now let ask you what is that dogma of which he
speaks, and which he charges being the represen
tave of? Is it the dogma of non intervention by Con
gress with slavery in the territories? All that nv friends
desired at Charleston and again at Baltimore was that
the Convention this year should rearm the platform
adopted in Cincinnati in 1856 We asked nothing
That platform declared the pncipe of non interven ton
Buchanan elected President and John c. Breckenridge
Vice President PLATFORM and are pledged to that
dogma.
They were made President and Vice President by the
power of that very dogma. They could have been
elected office unless that very dogma of non
venton. And Breckinridge tells You that rather
than submit to the dogma upon which he elected
observe which had pledged his honor of deli-
ity it were better to break up the party-to hazard
the election Black Republican dire
sequences that would likely follow. l again repeat
that we only asked the same dogma upon which Buchan
an ana Brecklnrdge were elected we only asked the
same platform on which they were nominated. we ana
not require any change of ch ange of prn

Yet Brecknrdge saws he went for Cass against Tayor
after bein st to Taylor becanse Cas
sented his nrinciples (Cheers IT seems then that
Breckinridge was sound on the dogma in l84s Laugh
ter) Again in convention assembled in this city in lS4S
when they nominated Cass for President they adopted
the platform of noninterventOn Now look that
platform Brecknrdge sound in and he pledged
himself to the doctrine of nonnervention by Congress
with slavery in the territories
Breckenridge went for Cass because Cass represents his
principles this dogma So 1t seems, then that Breckin
ridge and Cass in the South together in 1S4S We all
went for the dogma then Let any man read the record
il he has doubt upon the point The only objection
had myself to Cass at the time that he went little
too far squatter sovereignty Cheers But it seems
that Breckenridge went the whole hog with him
(laughter), for Cass thoroughly represented his
principles. NOW the difference between myself
and Cass on that point Was-that Cass SAID that
the people had rlght TO make their own laws
in the territory outside of the Constitution of the
United States And this recoect was the doctrine OF

You Wings, if there he any Wings among you, claim
that entitled to the greatest portion of the cred
of adopting the compromise measures of 1S50fOunded
the doctrine of nonintervention because you sait
that your great Clay reported the b-that your God

sound on the policy and gave to the bill the force law
Hence you claim that this Whig measure
and that we Democrats are not entitled to any cred
