Not II ALL The men were lli Ac.
quilted. This shows how differently laws are
executed in different sections of tie courtyy aud
how much more zeal there is TO execute = law
fAvortng slavery than one protecting freedom.
What further have We aeens Why, in the
Convention at Charleston. rhere the whole De-
mocrec} were mc1there was 4 delegate from the
State Of Georgia, a Sir. Gaulden, who boa.tedon
the floor Of tho Democratic Convention that he
WAS In favor of the revival Of the African s,iaFe
Trade. lie said that be Was q Shareholder, aud
he invited the Northern Democrats 10 90 down
and look at his plantation; and he told them
1hat be would shQN them uegroes there TINT he
had purchased in MARYLAND, and negroes from
Virgins, aud he would show them there the
native African, too, the noblest Roman Of them

Let NC tell you further, who this Afr. Gaul-
den is. He was delegate from Georgia who
did not secede. lie belongs today to your
northern branch Of the Democracy. TLsughter
aud loud sppl1use.l Gentlemen, you will best
accommodate me. If you will abstain from ap-
plausc and be Us qniet as possible. This Mr.
more Convention he refused to secede. lie IL
one of the ftw men from the South who stood
bv aud voted for Stephen A. Douglas as nomi.
nee ofthe party. Seusation.1
Nov, my friends, will not have time to dwell
upon The violation Of pledges By this so-ca!led
Democracy, or could trace it through the
whole creed. They have forgotten the old Dem
ocratic creed since they organized simply upnn
the s:aserY question, But lny friends know
what you Northern Democrats will, some Of
you. say, You will sag, a we are not responsl-
BILE for that We are rs much "opposed TO the
Democracy that controls the country as you
are" Why you have even lea'net to call them
disu,ionista, and one of the delegates who went
down to Charleston. and whom saw in tic city
Of Washington on his re,urn, actualy said to
me after be had been down in the Charleston
Convention for two weeks, after he had heard
himself called all AboIitiouist, xnd been told
that Nortlrrn Democrats were no better than
black Republicans and Abo'itiouists-after all
this, he said to me, with his eyes expanded il
great astonishmt ut, al renlly think snme o.
these men 10 tbs South are for disun.ou."
[Laughter.1 He had Just made that di. covery.
WHY are you not responsible, my Democratic
friends! Did you not help to elevate this Admin
issration into power Did you not susta'n It
all tbe time: Wherein do you differ 'rom It!
where are they found? They are found in the
Democratic caucus, voting for the nominee Of
the Democratic party. In The House Of Repre-
seutatives they a1l voted for Lecomptonite for
Speaker. They did SO repeatedly q: the last
sesslon. Every Deuocrasic member from the
State Of Illinois Toteu for the Lecomptcn pomi-
nee. They said ibis lecomp,on Constitution
business man, permit clerk who had been de-
tectcd in repealed attempts To awindle you, 10
still receive your confidence. aud hold positions
of 1he greatest trust? Ali uthess Illinois Demo
cra,. united with party that had been attempt
;:v TO prae.icc 9 swind!e upon the people, ana
force . Hare Constitutions seon them against
their will.
And Ibave very good eviderce, my friends; l
have the evidence here 10 ny hand, that Mr.
Douglas does support the National Democracr;
not ouIy that, but he is the best supporter
James buchanan has. he boassed in the Sen.
ate. il, MS speech nude on the 14:h aud 18th of
May last, when his xuees rere qnsrerirg, ard
be was asking for Democratic support. snd
fearing lest be would be driven out Of the
fo34 AT he m faith
ful supporter Of James Buchanan. These are
II, words: "Search the records ind you will |
ind tha. have sustained President Buchanan |
on more questions than any one Of you."-
[Scnsatiou.] Thus you see that Nr. Douglas
cla1ms to BE- tie most zeslous supporter Of Nr. |
Buchanan, and he claims credit for it. THIS |
soeecu i.as been extensively circulated all oyer /
the country, aud you Democrats hare probably |
read il. 1fyou will now look back into It again |
you will 6nd this statement It is folly to Talk |
about separating the Northern Democracy from
the Southern Democracy, or relieve it Of the
abuses Of the governneut-alIoWing them to
escape from responsibility for the iniqaities
Democrats ciaa:::m. credit in this State for
,aying opposed the Lecomrr..oen Constitution.
Id some claim credit here for opposlGr
be Administration. Did you ever reflect, mY
Democratic friends, you are claiming credit tor
long exactly Ehat Republicans d.: Ito you
lot zee you are becoming Republicans in doing
hat? You Northern Democrats csnuot name
me thing for which you claim credit. You
.annot recall one good act except when you acs-
ID with the Republicans. Now, US you hure
earned tn do we'll in I. few things by uniiiog
With the Republicans, and as you believe the
government will so to destruction unless you
:escue it from the fire eatera and disuuionists,
over to the Republican ranks, became good
aud do well al the time. Laughter
md applause.
Perhaps sonae Of you think you differ from
he National Democracy on the slavery eues-
ion, Ny Democratic friends, you are mistaken
fou advocate precisely the same dcctrine On
his subject Of slavery as the South. You all
ot talk about non-intergeniion. popular sover-
iRnty. ind self government in the people Of
Territpry. Not one Of you believe ia it, Mr.
Douglas does not believe in it, although it is
err difficult to ascertain what Mt. Douglas
oes believe; get We have here an authoritative
xpos'tion o: bis views. He is great sslckier
Or party platforms. He says nobody has a
igh:to lay down t..e creed Of toe party but sts
;etional Convention, and that oil democrats
re bound by it. What did this Convention
