He goes back TO the Compromise measures OF lo0O
10 show that that was AN overt a. Jusy1ng dlsoiu-
ton of the Union. Thore compromise ACTS that we're
the work Of the fret Of all parties In tho nation,
with Henry Clay al the head aud Gen. Cas- giving
his adhe two great leaders of the two great parties
of the day; those measures Which TIE Democratic
party took from ar and claimed as their own. 40 Do
cure they rade resistance IN the beginnrg, aad did
call for southern Convention Ia NdshvIle, for the
purpose Of dissovBg the Unoa then rather than sub
mi. 10 the COMPROMISE measures; bu 60 0verwhelnl-
i1gly popular did they become, tnat thoee gentlsmen
were driven from their posuon, and advocated the
Compromise measures Of 1850 as thei own. Ihey put
Pierce on the platform, and swore he was bes5er
Compromise than SEQ t. who aided In the passage
of these measures far any act Of Congress could
do and this was cOncusively established even by those
who Opposed 10 him. Yet they swore that Pierce
was mole 10 be relied upon for his fidelity TO these
Compromise measures than Winfield Scott. To be
sure we swore hard on the other side, but they out
ewo;e US far that they beat Scott 20 badly that he
hss hardly shown his face in public sBcei and Mr.
Willoughby Newton voted for Pierce that platform
Letters and Philosophy Here was a gentleman
preaching treason and dsUnion the philosophy OF Pres
ident Arnold, OF Aaron Burr, aud before whom A
mas of ignorant men, whose passions were to be eX-
cited and led away No lie was addressing him
self to the e,e the elect the Chosen representatives
OF the Breckenridge Democracy OF this State; and
when he proposed retire from che stand they cheered
him to 20 Oh" Go on they were delighted with
such philosophy he preachei and he did 90 on,
graduating himself and them that has plain doctrine
was lot distateful to them oh what pity it is for
the memory OF Aaron Burr that he lived fifty years
too soon He would have had no competitor in the
Baltimore or Richmond Conventions for the nomina-
ton by this party for the Presidency. Applause.
For 1 am told that when gentleman named Bald
win, from she State Of New York, attempted 70 say
something in the Richmond Convention favorable TO
the Union he called TO order, and lot allowed 10
proceed with his remarks What did he desg1 against
his country beyond that Of Remembering the Union
and installing Southern Coniederacy What more
and what less do these Democrats contemplate or
threaten And in what they better than he and
why are they patriots and ne Il traitor, whom every
child il taught In infancy 10 abhor But that is not
all. We have the opinions Of other gentlemen the
subject.
Ihsrdly need tell YOU what Mr. Yaneey position
read bis Slaughter letter that has been published in
every newspspeT-no not in all. l do not know
whether it has been in every newspaper, for do not
believe that the Breckenridge papers will publish il.
Applause But viii read TO you what he says:
