CONGRESSIONAL Al lNTEKVE
We give ashort extrcat from the speech
# Judge Pai.e ofphia in defence of the
CINCINNATI PLATFORM; in thS Charleston
Jonvention:M . !. b
Why, Mr.. President should I
extend those quotat,ons? repeat there is
no distinguished Statesman from the South
srn States, who figured on the floor Of Con-
sress during these discussions, or who came
70 US in Ohio upon the Stump" as We call.
It, who did not take ground in favor Of non-
by Congress. It went into the
platform, it went TO !thei people
from the lips Of every Democratic speaker
who addressed Us. The Northern mind
has become thoroughly imbued with this
great doctrine of popular sovereignty. You
can not tear it out of their hearts unless
you tear out their heart strings themselves.
What then ? Dove say that this doctrine
shall be held in derogation Of, your Consti-
tutional rights? No, God forbid ! We
have said that the people Of the Ter
ritories shall have nothing but what the
Constitution will give them or permit them
to have. We say oil this shall be subject to
the Constitution Of the United States, and
IN the resolutions which we have brought
in here we have said that We will leave il to
the courts of the country to decide what the
Constitution does permit, and we will main.
tain and abide by the decision Of the courts.
Then ifthe judicial tribunals of the country
decide that the people Of the Territories have
no such rights, we agree to abide By that de-
cision in good faith. There we stand, and
having been placed there, by the authority
o: Southern as we'll as Northern states
men, We cannot from that position with
honor, recede. -
There Sir, we have stood and there we
stand. This question of intervention in the
Territories has been the subject ofz more
misery of more misfortune Of more alter
cation, Of more cst' 'ansement, ofmore heart
burnings than all the other evils combined.
since the government commenced. re-.
peat that upon the question Of Congression-
Al Intervention, we are committed by the
acts OF congress; we are committed by the
acts Of National Democratic Conventions ::
we cannot recede without personal dishonor.
and, so help us God we never will recede,
THE ADJOURNMENT a DoUelAs

WASHINGTON, May End.
The excitement in regard to the Charles.
ton convention increases The war upon
Douglas by the administration and disunion-
lists is maintained without mercy. He is to
be punished for doing right. Having obtained
the nomination Of majority, he is practically
the candidate. Dispatches received tonight
indicate the determination OF Douglas and
his friends never to falter. They will never
abandon him.. Southern Douglas Senators
and Representatives are now teIegraphing to
the convention to adjourn to Baltimore till
JUICE, in order to give public opinion time
to operate. Meetings are to be held in the
South, to rebuke the seceders, and an ad-
dress is to be prepared asking Democrats
IN the North, to rise en- masse against the
recreants who arc bounding Douglas and
assisting the disunionists. -..,.,
General contempt and scorn Of Gushing
are expressed. His partiality and injustice
are everywhere execrated. The Massachu.
setts delegation have been delnoralized by
the office holders, and deep game is play
ing to put Guthrie forward and this fail.
ing, Seymour of New York is to be tried.
Neither card will win. The Democrats who
prefer Douglas are a unit in taking him or
nobody. If he is slaughtered they will
avenge his fall by such an appeal 10 the
ballot boxes as wiz be remembered for a
century. The sectionalists must take
Douglas or Republican: The hour 70,
Compromise has pasted forever. Fifty six
ballots have been taken and five hundred
will not tire or terrify the Douglas column.
