Wrath of the Douglas Menu.
Their Treatment In Charlest0n,

Wrath of the Douglas Men...
Their Treatment In Charleston.
The Douglas men Of Cincinnati held a
meeting on Thursday evening, at which a
good many wrathy speeches were made
We quote from the report of the Cincin-
natl Gazette: -.
Mr.. Faran on coming forward spoke
for about Eve minutes, con6ning his re-
marks chiefly 10 the course of the Douglas
men at Charleston, and to Hon. Caleb
Gushing. He had witnessed the struggle,
and thought the friends Of Douglas should
be commended for their manly adherence
to him, when the outside pressure at
Charleston was so dead-set against him.
So bitter was the feeling, that no northern
man was permitted by their populace to
speak outside the Hall, unless aided BY
the courteous appeals of Southern men in
their behalf Just think of q National
Democrat not being allowed to speak in
the streets Of Charlestcni How shame
fully be is treated after all bis subseryiency
to the Slave power
Mr.. Faran came down in expressive Ian
guage on the underhanded traitorous course
of the New York Delegates in forcing up
on the Northwest the resolution requiring
the 2O2 votes 10 nominate after the seces.
sion; and more emphatically upon Caleb
Gushing for sustaing such a course. He
said Gushing had no more political honor
than the lopest cossyict in the penitentiary
THAT was well said, Mr.. Faran, and ough
to convince Caleb of the propriety of re
signing the Chair at Baltimore.
Mr.. Wood said, in what We consider |
very irrevereutial spirit for Democrat
that when in that venerable old city, 70
the first time in his life he felt thoths va

the rest Of Carolina were everything, ant
the rest of the Union was nothing
There was also general opposition to tn
Popular Sovereignty Platform and its ad

upon the floor, and they were accordingly
admitted, and all opposed to Douglas an(
his adhererents. This was the way out
side influence was brought to bear.
When distinguished member OF Con
gress (Mr. Logan from Illinois, who was |
native Of slave State, arose on the steps o
the Mills House to address the people, b.
| was forced by the mob to desist, and onl,
because he was from Illinois. This was
specimen of the fairness with which North
ern men were treated in that city of tn
South. Mr.. Wood said thati it was useles
to attempt to conceal the fact that ther
was feeling in the South antagonistic t
the Democratic party and to the Union il
self. He found the Southern represents
tives in the Convention fire-eaters. Il
view of these facts, be felt proud to thin
that the Northwest voted as one man; nc
not as one man, for there wore two mer
delegates from Minnesota who had bee
bought--who voted against Douglas.
