t. and fill the vacancies. He had heard mucI
" said about the evils of disunion. lie was no
h only opposed to disunion, but also to those
who favored disunion and preached disunion -
He was opposed to secession from the Union
: and from the Convention as we'll. When h
: heard men declare themselves opposed to tn,
principles of the party, be thought it very
necessary to require a pledge from them tt
8 abide by the action o. the Convention. Such a
pledge had a precedent in ten Convention Of
: the party. 1t had been imposed on certain
delegates at the last Senator ial Convention, and
the geatlemsn from New York, who had atten
ded to it. had felt the pinch of the case. f.
Mr.. Ewing, of Tennessee, desired to know
what Convention he ment. Have they no enc
my in front? Have they any States to spare?
ANY States 10 give 10 to the enemy? Ifso, he
did not know Of it. He thought they were
pressed by an advancing enemy, constantly
growing more formidable, until they were now
almost resistless, and yet we hear sentiments
calculated to excite feelings of aninosity on
both sides, and to widen the breach He de-
sired earnestly to see the Democracy presen
ting united front, and fighting, not their own
friends, but the Republican party He would,
therefore, use no words of bitterness. 1t had
been said that there were no conteStng dele
gates from Mississippi, Florida and Arkansas
nothing Official was kaown of any con.
test.
| MIR. Clairbone stated that there was q contest
in Arkansas, and that information of the fact
had been sent to the President of the Conyeu
ton.
Mr.. Ewing resumed-he did not desire to
pause and inquire what were the facts in re-
gard to Arkan,as, but If there is any real con-
rs Of triL at Ct,t Nj
Miss. and Texas. There were no contests in
| those States AMI no reason why they should
be left out Those States are wanted and
while they are left out, questions of moment,
IN when they are interested are being ac ell
on. Why sh)nll they b. harshly spoken Of
and driven further aud further away? The
gentleman from Penna, spoke OF there seeding
delegation as though they were traitors, bnt |
he would say that the South does not so re.
gard them. The Suth believes that if the
maorit.' of the Nor'fl ad ,pt principles that the
Southern States cannot, with honor, endorse,
1t is competent and honorable for the States to
withdraw. and say to the Co1Vention select
your candidates, and we will ses what we can
do he was not in favor of secession, and had
earnestly protested against it, and exhorted the
Southern States not to seceie Ills constitu.
ens would not now justify him in such ac
tons As life long Democrat, he believed
that the safety OF the lives and property ofthe
South depend npon the preservation of the Ma
liona Democratic party. He concluded by
exhorting the Convention to strike out the
State OF Arkansas, and almit at least all the
States, VIII Sc seats are uncontested, at oncs.
The President begged permission, in response
to the request Of Mr. Claiborne, of Missouri, to
read a paper in relation to the Ark AS dele
ton The paper was not that sent up by Mr.
Rust, which, on inquiry. it appeared, had not
been r. ceived by the Chair. s
The President also gave notice of the offer of
the Washington Railroad Company to run
special train to the capital tonight, if some
sixty Of the delegates desire to CO. Laugh.
