sequent Baltimore National Democrat.
ic Convention was none other than that
absolute extremist, persistent fire-eat-
or and arrant disuniouist, w. L. yam
cey, Of Alabama. This man, assisted by
other factious members, were busy for a
long time before the Convention in
brewing mischief, discord and disaster
and it is muce to be regretted that their
unhallowcd labors were attended with
certain success. They succeeded in di.
vertlng the party, and disarranging the
political element, to such an extent tina,
defeat and disgrace seemed for while
almost inevitable.
And what was the object Of this for.
ay upon the Democracy by Yancey
and the Yanceyites. To what end
were all his exertions directed
We shall let his own words answer
that. His letter to Mr.. Slaughter, Of
the same State, (Alabama) fully shows
where the founder Of the Seccder's par
ty stands, and what he desires:

There, fellow Democrats, there you
have the political status of MIR. Yancey
10 all its hideous detormity. Revolution,
sedition, and disunon is his hobby, and
hence his bitter opposition to the nomi-
nation of Judge Douglas.
To any man who loves his country
AID her institutions, who prefers peace
and national prosperity to open rebel
lion, revolution and bloodshed-is there
any Democrat who can for moment
say that he endorses such a course as
Mr.. lancey suggests, or who is willing
to become party to his crusade upon
the National Democratic party. We
trust there are none who will give coun-
tcnance either directly or indirectly to
such q man or his measures. lie has
succeeded in effecting breach in the
work he has laid out, but we believe
that the sober second thought of those
who were led astray by his damnable
hcresies will be effective in closing that
breach, and placing the party on its for
lner footing.
Rally around the true standard, then /;
choke down and crush out such disas.
trous doctrine.
