TEE DKKochATIC POLITICAL pIFFlCcL7IE9-
The movement which was started yesterday,
to urge upnn the seeding delegations to 70.
turn 10 the Baltimore June Convention, il every
hour gathering strength. The address, y hich
has been prepared Aod is now ia calculation
among Southern Senators and members, is az
aole and STRAIGHTFORWARD document, It alludes
to tue unhappy division at Charleston, and 1e-
grets its occurrence, speaks Of the seeding
delegations, and expresses admiration for their
uncotnpronising adhesion to the Constitutional
rights and honor Of the t3outh. It next alindes
u the Southern delegations that remained in
the Convention, ind says that they did not
reulain il the Convention because they dif-
fered in principle with tho seeding Stases,
but only because they believed that in the
end the Convention would recognise the
just rights Of tae South ard reason that
the Souta should not seein to be divided By =
mere circumstance Of this character. The ssce-
ders are urged to forego any action at Rich
n1ond, and to 50 into the Convention at Balti
more, where the united South should make an-
other effort to have their constitutional rights
recognized. Should they fail, they can then
to demand at their hands. It has been largely
signed BY such men ~ Davis Of Aissis.ippi
Hunter, Breckenridge, Nason, Clay, Slideu
Benjamin, Green, Br.gg, &c.
TIE moderate republicans say the break up al
Charleston proves that the country will not tol

democrats do not hesi'ate to demand that ths
| country, North apd South, would be sa'er undel
| Batea, McLain or Cameron, than with DouglsI

After Mr. ClioKman fnished to day. in repl,
to Mr. Davis, Mr. BENJAMIN made q telling ant
spirited speech, ia Which be declared his hos
tility to Douglas and his platform. lie WAS elo
queot and severe upon the wesk policy Of beinl
