t Gov. King-I deny it.
Mr.. Hunter was not lawyer and did mol
desire to argue, but only to state few facts.

honest man is better than one from q lawyer
> Laughter.
Mr.. Hunter had heard with heartfelt pleas,
ure the remarks Of the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts, and when he had asked who it was,
and heard that it was Judge Loring, his heart
t beat with pride. loud laughter and cries. il

, Mr.. Hunter.-Well bis name is Eosing. and
he was from Massachusetts,. He agreed with
him that it was proppr to let in the Seeeders
and he was glad they were prepared to come
hero and acknowledge the error Of their way.
He had lived for fifty years in Missouri, and
had only cast one vote that was not Democrat
ic in his life (anghter] and that one was the
vote that kept Thomas Ii. Benton out of the
Senate.
Mr.. Avery, of N. c., desired to indulge in no
sectional or personal alldsions, but would say
to the gentleman from Pennsylvania that If the
speech he had made is an indication of the sem
timent of his hears toward one section of the
country, he (Avery) would not entertain such
a sentiment to be made President of the Uni
ted States. lie would say also to the gentle
man from Illinois, as well as the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, that such speeches as they had
both made, were not calculated to elect their
candidate. He could not resist the Impression
that those remarks were designed to drive the
South in body from the Union, but he would
say that no person had the power to drive him
from the National Democratic Convention

Conventions, when one man had been permit
ted to cast the vote of a State rather than that
State should have no representation.
He held that the delegates from the Southern
States had every right under their original com
mission to reclaim their seats, and ifthe North
western delegates had been the seceders in
stead OF the South, he would have extended to
them cordial welcome back, that peace, har-
mony and union might be restored. If it is |
the purpose of the majority Of this Convention
to disflanchise the Southern States, right or
wrong, he had nothing to say, He was oppo-
sed to the New York resolution which prescri-
bed the terms Of receiving the Seeding dele
gates. II you cannot trust them WiNom
pledge, you ought not to trust them wiM it.
Our Northern friends are in majority, and
they wish to overthrow US both on platform |
and candidate.
Mr. Atkins, Of Tennessee, said Tennessee
has high reglrl for her Northern friends
She is sound Democratic State. Her DEM
ocrats need no pledges and no tests. Nominate
your candidate fairly, honorably, snd will
swim every river and ford every creek to secure
10 our banner for the sake OF our Union. For
Gods sake harmonizo. Is there any man here
who is willing to sacrifice the Democratic par
" on the altar of personal ambition. 1e wo d
,onsign the most cherished friend he had in the
void to oblivion before he would endanger the
oermanency Of the Democratic party to secure

,e no tficllty in harm0niZing if it were not
or the devotion to the personal interests of
ome one man lie would to Col that we had
Jackson among Us to bring harmony out of
