Mr. BRowER proceeded 10 spesk as follows:
SPEECH OF JOHN II. BROwER
FELLOW DEMOCRATS In the objects of this meet
Ing entirely and heartily 4 feel and appre-
Thank you forit. The peculiar position of the Demo-
cratic party at this time Is greatly to be d7pored, but
II Is not ty an, faolt delinquency Of ours. We need
no other evidence to give assurance that the D7mo-
cratic nasses of the City Of New-Y0rk are largely
represeI ted here than te character and fidelity OF the
utn who now surround NE. These are Of the tlou-
ssIds " no do not bow the knee TO Baal
Bot the question of "regulasity IS much discussed,
ard we are told that Mr.. Breckenridge for President,
and Gen. Lane for Vice-President, are not regular
Democratic nominations and that Mr.. Douglas i'm
mense appliance, with Kisses and Mr.. johnson are
regular. This we esteem more matter OF fancy than
Of fact Our opinion is thai the majority Of the Doug
las Convention packed EXPIRE sly for the man, tlat
the thirty five votes of New-York loud applause
were targamed for and sold PRIOR to the elect N Of
delegates the State Convention which met at SYRIA
cue on the l4th Of September last that the choice OF
many Of these delegates was managed with express
reference E that result, aud thai the masses OF the
Democracy of New-fork hal no voice In the Bald
more Charleston nominations. Upon this ground, there
fore the nomI atoms of Mr.. Douglas aud Mr. John
son appear 10 us as not regular, but usurpAtlon
That 1t was not National Democratic Convention
which nominated Mr.. Douglas, we consider proved IN
the fact that the delegates from the Democratic States
with the President OF that Convention, protested
against its eedDgs, and were constrained to with
draw from it. The Preferential nominee OF that Con,
yention is himself, not rtgular-he is schismatc and
not in good standing in The Democratic party, mas
much as he stands opp sed TO its av1wed principles
az stll rtpudiates them after their continuation by
the Supreme Court Of tue Uhltd States FOR the
proof OF this appeal 10 the speech OF Senator Ben
iamin recently pronounced 10 the Senats. Toe prn-
eli les of the present Democratic Admins ration have
been Inverted, and the parry dlsrupted by the no
mnee of the Baltimore Charleston Convention aud
his followers, in his assumption OF sovereignty for
the Territories which has never been pretended by
anv well-received expounder OF the Consntution,
and which never can be malnta ned 90 prmclple
of constitutional law-any more han could WumOt
Proyisor or a Buffalo atfUrn." App'adse.
These things and this nominee caunot be regular IN
the Democratic party, whose fl st element has ever
hon
Jeatron and Madison and their compcers f1unced the
Democratic party upon the Constitutional law. John
