Wrath Of the Douglas Men---TheIr Treat
ment I'm Charleston.

ment In Charleston.
The Douglas men of Cincinnati held a
meeting on Thursday evening, at which q
good many wrathy speeches were made. We
quote from the report of the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
Mr.. Faran on coming forward spoke for
about five minutes, confning bis remarks
chiefly to the course Of the Douglas men at
Charleston, and to Hon. Caleb Cushing. He
had witnessed the struggle, and thought the
friends of Douglas should be commended for
their manly adherence to him, when the out
side pressure at Charleston was so dead-set'
against him. So bitter was the feeling, that
no northern man was permitted by the popu-
lace to speak outside the Hall, unless aided by
the courteous appeals Of Southern men in
their behalf TJust think of National DEM
ocrat not being allowed to speak in estreets
of Charlestonl How shamefully he is treated
after all bis subserviency TO the Slave pow
erl1
Mr.. Faran came down in expressive Ian
guage on the underhanded trsitOrOus course
Of the New York Delegates in forcing upon
the Northwest the resolution requiring the 2O2
votes to nominate after the secession; and
more emphatcally upon Caleb Cushing for
sustaining such a course. he said Gushing
had no more political honor than the lolvest
convict IN the peRiteHtiary. THAT was well
said, Mr.. Faran, and ought to convince Ca
leb of the propriety of resigning the Chair
at Baltimore.
Mr.. Wood said, in what we consider very
irreverential spirit for Democrat, that when
in that venerable old city, for the first time in
his life he felt that he t0as not IN the United
States. There were old fashioned houses, and
he found q spirit generally pervading Charles
ton that it and the rest Of Carolina were eve
rything, and the rest Of the Union was no
thing. There was also general opposition
to the Popular Sovereignty Platform and its
advocates candidate for President As soon
as the Convention opened, one side Of the
gallery was filed with men opposed to the Lit
tie Giant, and the other gallery was filed
with ladies opposed to him. A motion was
soon after made TO admit ladies upon the floor,
and they were accordingly admitted, and all
opposed TO Douglas and his adherents. This
was the way outside influence was brought
to bear.
When a distinguished member Of Congress
(Mr. Loean) from Illinois, who was a native
Of a slave State, arose on the steps Of the
Mills House TO address the people, he was
forced by the mob 10 desist, and only because
be was from Illinois. This was specimen of
the fairness with which Northern men were
treated in that city Of the South. Mr.. Wood
said that it was useless TO attempt to conceal
the fact that there was a feeling in the South
-. uvrd n,
the Union itself He found the Southern
representatives in the Convention fre-eaters.
In view Of these facts, he felt proud 70 think
that the Northwest voted as one man; no,
not as one man, for there were two men, del
eeates from Minnesota who had been bought
who voted against Douglas.
A Voice-s'Give US their names"
Mr.. Wood-sg prefer not to give names
We have got their daguerreotypes, and the
next time you 20 to New York you viii iind
them in the Rogue's Gallery" [Cheers.
Mr.. Wood next spoke Of the necessity for
the Douglas men to be firm in order to sustain
the principles for which they fought. They
represented the majority Of the people, for
Mr. Douglas was their choice for President.
So, after balloting the fifty-seven times, in
stead Of appealing again TO the South, they
adjourned the Convention 10 meet again at
Baltimore. They expected TO succeed better
at the latter place, because a majority Of the
Convention were pledged to Douglas, and be-
cause the people Of the South would be rep
resented there by different set Of delegates.
Mr.. W. was very severe in his denuneiations
Of Caleb Cushing, who he said, like himself,
be was ashamed to say, formerly had been a
Whig. BE (Cushing) was as willy as the
devil Of old, and like him could give the
most plausible reasons for wicked and dis
honest act. Finding that be could not defeat
Douglas by fair, be adopted unfair rulings,
