whelming uprising Of the people, to secede
and repudiate the action of the Convention,
as they did at Baltimore. No, we will never
go into convention with such men. They
have cut loose from the Democracy-they
have violated their solemn pledge made at
!. Richmond last February to support the
nominees of the Democratic National Con-
vention-they have assassinated the Demo-
cratic party-and now come to us to entrap
us into an endorsement of their crime. -
ErWe'll none of it, But on the contrary we
will stand steadfast and immovable by the
regular organization and its nominees. We
will show these lesser lights of Yancey
disunionism that we know our rights and
dare maintain them. No TRUE friend of the
Baltimore Convention and its regular nomi-
Enees-Douglas and Johnson-can with
honor,to himself and respect to his man
hood. have any thing to do with the Sece-
ders' Convention at Charlottesville. It is
designed as fraud and snare by which
the unsuspecting may be wheedled into the
support of Breckenridge and Lane-the first
and fatal step towards dissolution of'the
Union.
We hope our friend of the Spirit will re-
consider this matter and firmly plant him
self down on the regular platform of the
Democracy, and rally to the support Of
Douglas and johnson. WefteH him frankly
that the Charlottesville Convention is a
trick. The originators Of it do not want TO
fratefnize upon fair and honorable TERMS
They have no idea Of any such adjustment
They are determined on defeating Judge
Douglas or dissolving the Union. Yancey
controls them, as he did in Charleston and
Baltimore, and revolution and disunion will
crown their efforts if they are Successful in
carrying out their schemes.
Fhe Tenth Legion Of the 10Th attempts
to 'wriggle out of the awkward position in
which it finds itself in supporting Breckin-
ridge and Lane. Before the Baltimore Coz
vention met, that paper declared that not
one Of the Seceders at Charleston ought TO
be admitted to seats. The sole alledged
cause of the secession Of majority Of tile
Virginia delegation was, that all of the Sc
ceders were not admitted The Virginia
delegation, by majority vote, before the
Convention assembled, resolved that if all
the Seceders were not admitted they would
consider it fatal to the organization Of the
pafty-or, in ether words, would break it
up.
After the nomination Of Douglas, The
Tenth Legion stated that it was done by the
regular National Convention of the Demo
cratic party. How now can thatpaper sup
port Breckenridge, and be consistent2-
Mark-the Seceders from the Convention
did not dissolve their connection with the
Democratic party on principle, for Che same
platform that they had voted for in Charles
ton was thai which the Democracy stood by.
They went out On question Of o,ydhsax-
ton, the Convention deciding pretty much
NOT quite SO extreme-as the Tenth Le-
gion assumed they should decide. It wont
do, friend Gatewocd. Haul down your dig
union colors, and let US be a unit in the old
Tenth in upholding the true and regular
Democratic candidates Douglas and John-
son-and the only platform whict, will pre-
serve the rights of the South and the Union
that of Non Intervention.
