We we're willing 10 aeht stil the Consiitu-

would rather, said Mr. H., see the present
Democratic organization blown into rs many
atoms as there were individual members in
the Charleston Convention, than see Il per-

Mr.. w. said he confessed he had not been
prepared when he went to Charleston to find
this principle so bitterly opposed by those who
had four years ago demanded its adoption. If
| it did not indicate want of good faith it Ger
tainly showed h hvascillating purpose or short
memory. He confessed that he was surprised

vention with any public speeches, but he had
