The report Of the majority is combination
Of those of Messrs. Bnyard, of Delaware.
Cochrane, Of New York, and Biglef, Of Penn
Mr.; Samuels, Of Iowa, presented II, eschew-
ing congressional Intervention, and declar-
ing that whether Congress or the Territorial
Legislature have the power to interfere, de-
penos upon the decisions of the Supreme
Courts of the United States, which decision
they Piedge the Democratic party to sustain
and abide by. He proceeded at some length
TO address Southern members appealinp 10
them not to persist in demanding an obstpuc-
ton that will drive one-half Of the Demoo-
racy Of the North into the arms Of the Black
Republicans. ..ti.
His speech was a powerful, earnest and
effective appeal, free from all bitterness, and
was listened to with the most marked inter-
est and attention by the Southern members.
When Mr.. Samuels had concluded, Mr.
Butler, of Massachusetts, presented another
minority report, signed by Illinois, Mime
sofa, Massachusetts, and Indiana, consisting
Of the Cincinnati Platform pure and simple,
wnlch ne offered as substitute for both the
majority and minority reports.
Mr.. Stevens, of Oregon, then obtained the
floor, amid the struggle of hundred con-
testants, and proceeded to give his reasons for
sustaining the report of the majority
ROLAND ]. Brent, Of Maryland, took the
ground that although he was opposed 10
squatter sovereignty, he must STILL as mat
ter of policy, sustain the position of non-in-
tervention. Four years ago the South de-
manded this principle of non-intervention,
and why do they come here and demand this
surrender Of principle? He cautioned them
upon the result of their extreme views they
could lead to nothing but the election Of a
Black Republican President.
Mr.. Burrows, of Arkansas followed in a
speech on the Southern side of the question,
commencing at twenty minutes TO eight
o'clock. He maintained that the South
had upheld the Democratic party from the
beginning Of the Government TO the present
day; that the South had been foremost in
| fighting the battles of the country, and that
IN fact the Democratic party owes every
| thing to the South. The South has extended
the boundaries of the country, and has fur
nished the means at all times of paying the
debts of the country. His remarks were of
the most violent and inflammatory character,
and in the impatience to come to vote the
noise and confusion, clapping and stamping,
| was so great that he could scarcely be heard
beyond the rostrum. He continued, despite
the noise, to speak at the hight of his
voice.
He considered the Northern Democrats as
worse than the Black Republicans. He did
not care whether the Black Republicans
whipped them, or they whipped the Black
Republicans. OF the two he considered the
Black Republicans as the most open and
manly foes of the South. AS to Douglas, he
would not support him even if he is nomi-
mated. He considered him as great an en-
| emy to the South as the traitor (Seward)
was.
Mr.. Claiborne, of Ark, obtained the floor,
and said he had intended TO address the Con-
vention tonight, but he had now come to the
conclusion that this debate was causing a
wider breach instead Of producing harmony.
If continued, it will inevitably. result in the
disruption Of the Convention. he, therefore,
called the previous question.
Mr.. jackson, of Ca, moved an adjourn
| ment. ..r.. ..a.
Ohio demanded that the vote on States be
taken by States, which resulted as follows:
Ayes 81; Nays 200. ..
The Douglas men voted against the ad-
journment, and the opposition of Douglas in
favor of it.
