since arrived here tonight, friend read 10 pcr
ton Of speech delivered by Mr. Brecknridge At Lexing
sOu Kentucky yesterday In that speech nnd that Mr.
Rrecknrdge justices the breaking up Of the Democratic
Convention and the division Of the democratic party, 70
the great danger Of the election Of black republican,
ON the ground, he says, that the regular party In
sisted upon particular dogma, and that he would mot
take anybody q candidate for the Presidency who
vus the representative Of that dogma (Cheers) Now
Ist me ask you what that dogma Of which he spsAs,
on is thu dogma Of intervention BY Congress with
slavery In the Tsritoriss All that my friends desired
q Charleston, and again as Baltimore, was that the
Convcntion this year should reannrm the platform
ADOPTED in Cincinnati In 1855 We asked nothing
pors ThAt plAtsoru declared The principle of non
observation-disclosures vss elected President and
John C. Breckinrdge Vice President that platform, and
were pledged % that dogma Thsy were mads President
end vics President BY The power Of thss vsry dogma
they never could have been elected to css uss1 nor
very dogma Of noa-intsrvsaAsa; anA sow Bsskh-
ridge tells you that rather thsn ssbn 70 ~ dogma upon

psdgsd hs honor md fidelity, W. better 70 brsak ~
sAs party 70 hazard Ne slscs.on q black repubsan
s.d ali the dire oo.ssqusnces that would likely follow.
I again repeat, that w only ssksd the same dog
ma upoa which Buchansa and Rrcctinridgs s,sossd
We only asked ths sans platform which they were
nominated We did not require any change Of platform,
say change Of principle, any change Of uagc Of the
party be and his party take The ground thai the
An who stands where and others stood four years ago
10 no better than an sboltonnt (Chsers) Did be tall
you 70 four years sgos (Answer-"No") Did he not
M you four yea ago that the pesce Of this country do
pended upon this very doctrine Of non-n,ervcntioui
(Cres Of "Yes) Did he not tell you that the election
of such an intervcntionist Fremont would be Just

you that Southern honor Southern rights and Southern
equality In the conederAcy depended maintaining the
doctrine Of affirmed In the Cincinnati
PLATFORM tcries Of "He did so) And this Brcck-
inrdge who was elecieS Vice President BY your efforts
and BY mine upon that sefsame doctrine says that
man ought 10 entrusted with The reins Of government
~ho stands by the principle 10 which he pledged his
sacred honor 10 stand by four years ago. (Cneers)
Again, my fellow citizens, MAJOR Breckinridge, In bis
stump speech defends himself against the charge that he
wss opposed General C~ss In lsss. lie says true
that ls47 he attended the meeting which brought out
General Taylor FOR the Presidency but that subsequently,
IN lsss after cass nominated hs the stump for
Cas- because he represented his (Brccknrdge) prin
ciples. Now, his language: 81 went for Cans be
cause represented my principles" What principles
did cAss repressntf Why, he had just written the
xchols,u letter. tchcess) The N'choson letter was
non.intervcniIon, with squatser sovereignty addsi
(Chcers.) Yet Brcckinrsdge says he went for
cAss against Taylor, amer being nrst committed
70 Taylor, because cass represented hs principles

ine Of uon by Congress with slavery IN the
Territories Brccsinridgc o. because Css rc
presented his principles, This dogma % u seems,
then that Brecknridee asd csn In the Hosh were TO-
rssner in 1898 We all went for the dogma then. Iet
every man read the record n he has doubt upon this
point The only objccfon had myself 70 O. ~ ths
