Ca motion Of Mr. Clark, Of Missouri at the instance
Of Mr.. Hoge, Of Virginia, tho question was then pro-
pounded from the chair whether the nomination Of Doug
las should should not be, without further ceremony,
the unanimous act Of the convention and Of all the del
egates present. the chairman distinctly requesting that
any delegate who objected whether having vot-
ed should signify bis dissent Nodeegae dssented and
thus at last stephen A. Douglas unanimously nomi-
mated in convention representing more than twothirds
OF all the electoral votes the candidate Of the Demo
cratic party for the Presidency Of the United States.
Was 1t irregular thus TO propose candidate! II 50,
Lewis Cass irreguarly nominated, at Baltimore, in
lS4s-which no man ever pretended-for the came
method was adopted in his case.
Subsequently, Governor Fitzpatrick. of Alabama hav.
ing declined the nomination for Vice President the DEM
ocratc National Committee lin pursuance Of authority
conferred upon it rendered that position 10 eminent
son of Georgia. Herschel " johnson, who accepted il
without hesitation, and whom the Democracy Of the
Union will support with confidence, and pride, and plea
sure.
1t did no, rise to the dignity of convention 1t was
mere assembage Of odds and ends without formal pro-
camation without authority from any State in open
traveDtion OF Democratic policy and Democratic ussges
The Seceders would not risk the experiment Of proceed
ing Richmond although the delegates from South Ca
rolina were there waiting Tor them and aJourniog the
Convention from day to day for their accommodation.
They invented the farce therefore, of mpropiu gath
ering at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore; and having
contaminated their scheme oy the adoption Of mean
