sting. as they always 70 !, blind for the
Democratic nominee, but he could plainly
see that his border neiyhbors would be
destroyed by its venom. II
Mr.. King alluded, IN the course of his
arguments, to the distinguished s,ate SIN an
of Illinois, and each time was greeted with
deafening applause. The Northern De.
mocracy have been stricken down because
they stood by the South. aud now they
have the taunt thrown Mt them that they
cannot promise their electoral vote to the
nominee with any certainty. This MAJOR.
ity platform wonil nominate Seward and
make him President. IT u few Southern
States abandoned this Convention its nom
inee will gain State for State from the
North for their nominee. They would r..
greet that they should leave. but they M st
stand by the ship TO the last The demo-

before the battle, if you force this platform
upon them.
Mr.. YANcY, Of Alabama. took the floor
amid immense applause and cheering, aud
proceeded to reply to Mr. King. stating
his speech as remarkable and unnatural.
coming from Southern man. He pro.
uouuced the charge that there were any
disIniopists or disrup,ionists in the Ala
bama delegation false. lie spoke nearly
two hours. His extreme doctrines were
weakly app'auded by tho gallery. lilo was
very severe on Douglas. in connection
with Kansas affairs. The acts Of III.
North, he sail, had made many persons It
the South believe that the South and her in
st,ution. were no longer safe in the limits
Of the Union. Ne denied that Alabama
had attempted 10 dictate to this Conven

Mr.. IANcY's speech was most able, e'o-
1nen' and powerful. lie contended Ina,
lac Democratic party must accept With
cheerIulness principle. rather than seek
success with its violation. and look to the
sober second thought Of the people for
Justification and restoration. He cnncind-
ed Ivy earnestly urging the Southern dele
ga'iui. to he true to their constitutional
duty, and not to lend themselves to a pal

allow themselves thus to be made n tool
Of, they should be hung on political
galows higher than WAS ever built for
ilaman.
Mr. PuGu Of Ohis, then took the floor,
to reply TO Mr. Yancy at half-p,s, seven.
He WAS glad to hear one Southern man
speak Out plainly and boldly. and tell us
what he really does want. He then read
