MIR. Clarke. of NO., requested, on the part
OF that delegation, time to consult as to their
future action. aa--
Mr.. Craig, of Mo-, hoped the request would
be granted. And he remarked that he never
could go out OF the Democratic party and a
Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Gaulden, of Georgia, said he came here
sent by three Convent tions of that State, and
felt that he had right to speak to the great
Democratic party of the United States. He
had seen the disruption of this Convention,
but he trusted out of this confusion and dis
| cord plan would be worked out by which
! they might achieve another victory for the
Democratic party. He believed liberty would
NOT exist long in this country, except by main.
| talnlng the integrity OF the great Democratic
party. In referring to slavery, he said he
would never join in forcing it upon, or ex-
cluding it from any State. He went for nom
| Intervention in the broadest sense of the term.
Col Gaulden further said he would do all
| he could to reconcile his friends in Georgia to
| this doctrine, and denounced Congressional
protection as an abstraction. In the course OF
his remarks hs referred to Virginia "slave-
trading aud slave breeding Virginia"

Col Gaulden then proceeded to advocate the
| revival of the African slave trade, and be-
| lieved Massachusetts herself would shortly
| advocate it. He did not see why he should
pay So ,o00 for negro from Virginia when he
| could buy him in Africa for $50. He de-
nounced the treaty for the suppression of the
African slave trade, which, he said, was against
| the laws of nature and natures God. The
doctrine Of non in tervent ton should be applied
| to that trade. II was inhuman to send back
| to Africa the negroes at Key West half 0.
