among the sufferers, after having passed

tract the following from his report concern

he should quietly, firmly and, he hoped,
brayely accept the responsibility imposed
upon him. He cherished the hope that
Providence will lead rs out Of our civil
disturbances, and in His good time conduct
Us to tranquility and peace. Long continued
cheering.]
Senator Davis followed in an eloquent
strain on the personal and public character
Of Breckinridge and Lane. The Democracy
was not the party which rests itself upon
the claims of men. when Mr.. Van
Buren, proved recresnt, they cast him off a.
| . dead member and when, at more recent
period, another Democrat proved recresnt,
it remained for the party to continue faith
full to its institutions and to separate him
also from the body. He vindioated the
Convention that nominated Breckinridge
and Lane. Let such 80 where inclination
leads them; the Democracy honor Mr..
Buchanan for all he had done, and cast
the complaints of Office seekers to the
wind. [Laughter.l Breckinridge and
Lane will be elected. Applause.
Messrs. Toombs and Hallett followed, the
latter insisting, a. the Trainer Of the Gin
cinnati Platform, that there is nothing
there in the least countenancing Squatter
Sovereignty. The Wilmot Proviso having
been removed from Congress, it Was adopted
with view Of keeping Slavery out Of the
Territories and to gain Abolition votes
under spurious Democracy.
Mr.. Hagen, Of Kentucky, made some
humorous remarks.
The procession proceeded to Browns
Hotel, where An immense crowd had previ-
ously gathered. Mr.. Lane, after the per-
formancs of an air, appeared and rendered
his thanks to the assembly for this mani
festation of their kindness. He was proud
of the nominee of the Baltimore Convention.
He was man whom he had long known in
the battlefield and in the National councils
Of the Union, and felt deeply honored as
the Vice placed on the same ticket with
him. He (Lane) accepted the nomination
of the National Democracy assembled at
Baltimore, and with those attending, he
believed in the equality and rights Of the
States under the Constitution. None
exceeded him in loyalty and devotion to his
country, and for the perpetuity Of the Union
he was ready to lay down his life.
i Gen. Lane was loudly applauded through.
out his speech. a<-. "-,-
