NIT his name to stand in the way of fraterna har
mony.
He well knew there gentlemen in the North
| and in the South of experience and ability, who
were fitted better than himself for such trust
but, without referring in detail to the proceedings
at Baltimore, he would only say that the Conven
ton which assembled at the Maryland Institute,
| was composed in his opinion, of the National De-
mocracy of the United States, (cries of "good, "
and cheers.) When he learned, though with re-
gret, that his name had been presented to the
country he did not take long to determine that he
| would not meanly abandon them. (Appause.)
He had understood that some persons occupying
high positions, entertain the belief that the Ma
tional Democratic party is "disunion party" and
intend to break up the Union of these States
| Cries of "never,- we intend to preserve it." He
had read the resolutions adopted by that Conven
tion with a great deal of care and there was moth
ing in them in the character OF that Convention,
or the gentlemen who composed it; or, if he was
allowed to add in the character of the nominees to
justify it. [Applause.l
Instead ofbreaking up the Union intend, he
said, to strengthen and lengthen It, IA voice,
| "Cuba."1
One of the resolutions declared the equality of
the States in all the common Territories under one
common Constitution, but no man is disunionist
who wants to preserve the Union on the great prn-
ciple of the Constitution and the equality of the
States Another resolution of the series adopted,
instead of breaking up the Union, seems to be a
| pledge by the power of organization to unite by
iron hands its different parts He hoped this would
sectional there from any of the States.
Our peace, said Mr.. Brecknridge has never been
disturbed except where the principles embodied in
these resolutions have been departed from, with
| regard to himself, when the Convention selected
| him as one of its candidates. Looking at his hum
BILE antecedants, and the place of his abode it gave
to the country personal and geographical guar

He alluded to his distinguished associate, Gene
raj Lane, and proceeded as follows:
1t sometimes happened that men are placed in a
| position where they are reluctant to act and
pose themselves to cens9re, if not to execration
they do not merit But we must be prepared to
meet such occasions in this life. All men can move
| forward with dignity, and with calm and unfalter-
ing STEP 1t was his purpose to pursue that
| He conceded to others the same good purpose he
| claimed for himself.
Without acrimony and animositv, he accepted
the nomination rendered to him, (applause,) and
should quietly, firmly, and he hoped, bravely, &C
cept the responsibility imposed upon him.
| he cherished the hope that providence will lead
us out of our civil disasters, and in his good time
conduct us to tranquility and peace. Long con-
| tinued cheering.
Mr.. Breckenridge having concluded, Senator
Davis followed in eloquent strain, eulogstic of
the personal and public character of MIR. Brecken-
ridge and General Lane. The Democratic party
was not the party which seeks for spos, rests
itself on the claims of men.
When Mr.. Van Buren proved untrue, they cut
him Oft as a diseased member and when at a more
recent period, Democrat proved recreant, it re-
manned for the party faithful to its instincts, to
separate him also from the body. He indicated
the Convention that nominated Mr.. Breckenridge
and General Lane. Let, said he, the spoilsmen go
where inclination leads them. The Democracy
honor President Buchanan for all he has done, and
cast the complaints of the Office seekers to the
winds. (Laughter.)
! He spoke of the Constitution and State Rights,
and proclaimed justice and fraternity the princi
pies under which Breckenridge and Lane will be
| elected. applause

Territories, and to gain abolition votes under a

Mr.. Hogan, of Kentucky, made some humor-
Gus remarks, when the procession proceeded to
Browns hotel, where an immense crowd had pre-
viously gathered
General Lane, after the performance of an air,
appeared and rendered his thanks to the assembly
for this manifestation of their kindness. He was
proud of the Presidential nominee of the Baltimore
Convention, as man whom he had long known
on the battle field and in the councils of the ma
ton, and he felt deeply honored in being placed
the same ticket.
He accepted the nomination of the National De-
mocracy assembled at Baltimore, and with them
believed in the equality and rights of the States
under the Constitution. None exceeded him in
loyalty and devotedness to his country. And for
the perpetuatOn of the Union, he was willing to
lay down his life
The general was warmly applauded throughout
his remarks He was followed by Mr. 1ancy, who
said the country was in caisis from which it was
the duty of the Democracy to retrive it. He spoke
at some length, and was frequently applauded.
The demonstration continued beyond midnight.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Altogether contrary to

special provisions enacted in relation to the mails

| acting business in connection with the public
| measures passed by Congress. Among the last
