The CHAIRMAN in introducing to the meeting the
Hon. WIN. A. RICHARDSON Of Illinois, made brief
address, referring to the early history OF the Demo-
cratic party Bat few years since, he sad, It's prn-
cipal strength lay in the North Kentucky North
Carolina and other States often stood in the way OF
the only national party OF the Union. To-day, see
how everything had been reversed Where was now
New-York, always so true in days of old Where was
Connecticut that always stood firm in time OF need
What had led to this prostraon OF the great Northern
party1 II was that IL took upon itself the task OF re-
sistinp the sectionaliem of the times. The South,
meantime. had become strong and consolidated, and
was Democratic from one end to the other
Every Southern State could be carried Tor
any candidate it the Northern wing Of the party
that needed. Would not the South give them the
man they called for He hoped and believed this

delegation in presenting solid front from first to last

QUESTION of territory, advance in wealth and education
which have marked the progress of the country at
large. There were now two parties already IN the
field. The Chicago Convention had presented Lincoln
and Hamlin. LAT the mention Of these names many
began to hiss, when TO the surprise of the speaker,
perfect storm of applause rang through the hall,
forcing him to pause for moment ere resuming his
speech. He would give certain facts in the life OF

aid had truly said, He entertained all of
them through" Ia all the speakers experience, he
had found that the worst " fre-eater " was the
who went South from the North, and owned slaves; |
the worst Aboitionst was the Southener who sold |
his slaves and came North TO live. The speaker con-
tnued to review the principles of Mr.. Lincoln, and |
contrast them with those of Mr. Douglas. He did not
believe that there disunon feeling at the South;
on the contrary, Southern Secessionist wac just
duty was to oppose the fanaticism OF both.
Before announcing the next speaker, the Chairman
remarked that large assemblages Of people were
throngng outside the hail. unable to effect entrance.
If any speakers were present. and willing to address
them, he begged they would proceed to do it
The Hon. II. M. WATTERsoE of Tennessee was
next introduced. He said the Tennessee Democracy
were practical people. They never rode Rozinante
and ret out upon Quixotc expedition; if they should
do 20, they would expect the ghost of Andrew jack
son to rise and rebuke them. He spoke advisedly
by Congress with Slavery in the
States, the Territories, and the District of Columbia
was the principle of his constituents in 1913. In 1850
this principle renewed and set forth in the Com
promise Measures Again. in 1856, this principle rolled
up majority Off 500 for the Democratic ticket in Ten
neesee. He was sure he was right in saying they |
wanted no change in the platform for 1860 Applause.

Teat Senatorial speech week ago. God grant that

ountry from the curse of Black Republicanism
Cheers.
Gov FoorE, also Of Tennessee, was the next
peaker. He firmly believed the Union TO be in dan
