luding 10 the remarks OF Mr.. johnson, Of Nd,
in regard to Non Democratic States, he said
that it was the kettls calling the pot black.
Mr.. johnson replied that Maryland had new
er countenanced or encouraged resistance to the
Fugitive Slave Law, and had msir tanned ma
tional position in the Union.
Mr.. Butler would say that Massachusetts, had
never been under rule that prevented q man
from voting his sentiments for fear Of the bludg-
eon or bullet. Loud and prolonged applause.
Mr.. johnson desired to reply, but Mr.. But
Ter would not yield, saying, however, that he
did not blame the Democratic party for this
condition of affairs. He knew they did all
they could to resist it.
Mr.. Butler concluded with an appeal to let
well enough alone, and the Convention took q
recess until 1 o'clock.
The Convention reasembled at o'clock.
Mr.. Bayard of Delaware presented another Sc.
ries Of resolutions, as follows:
The first affirms the Cincinnati platform.
The second declares that Territorial Govern
ments are provisional and temdcrary; that dur
ing their existence all citizens of the United
States have an equal right to settle in the Ter
ritories without their rights OF either person or
property being destroyed or impaired by Con-
gressiona or Territorial legislation.
The third declares it is the duty Of the Gov
ernment to protect the rights of persons and
property on the high seas, in the Territory, or
wherever else its constitutional authority ex-
| tends.
| The fourth declares, when settler in a Terri
tory have adequate population to form State
Constitution, the right Of sovereignty commenc-
es, and being consumm ated by their admission
into the Union, they stand upon an equal foot
ing with the other States, and that State thus
organized is to be admitted into the Union,
slavery or no slavery.
Mr.. Barksdale of Mississippi proceeded with
violent, but eloquent Southern speech. tie
declrred that when the Democratic party dies
the Constitution will die with it; that il the
party failed in its duty now, it will be more
dead than if defeated at the polls.
Gov. King OF Missouri addressed the Con
vention in favor Of harmony and concil;ation
Delegates came here instructed to do the bes
that could be done for the Democratic party
The majority report has sting OF death in it
He would vote for the minority report as sub
stitute All the people want is the Cincinnati
platform without any tail to it. He spoke O
the Black Republicans as men who are about a
sharp as men usually get, and said they wou
ridicule their majority platform as Janus face
and contradictory. So far as Missouri is con
cerned, she can carry it even clogged with thi
deadly sting, as they 60 it blind for the Dem
ocratic nominee, but he could plainly see hi
border neighbors would be destroyed by its ven
ON. ..
Mr. King alluded in the course Of his srgu
nents to the distinguished statesman Of ILL.,, an
each time was greeted with deafenng applause
The Northern Democracy have been stricke
down because they stood by the South, an
now they have the taunt thrown at them tina
they cannot promise their electoral vote to tn
: nominee with any certainty. This majorit
platform would nominate Seward and mal
: him President. Ifa few Southern States abal
t don this Convention its nominee will gain Sta
# for State from the North for their nomine
: They would regret that they should leave, b.
: they must stand by the ship to the last II
q Democrats would feel that they were shipp'
1 before the battle if you force this platform up'
them.
u Mr.. Yancey, Of Alabama, took the floor am
o immense applause and cheering, and proceed
d to reply to Mr. King, styling his speech as
+ markable and unnatural as coming from
= Southern man. He pronounced the charge tn
h there was any Disunionists or disruptionists
Sc the Alabama Delegation as false. He spoil
e nearly two houas. His extreme doctrines we
ID very weakly applauded, even by the gallerie
% He was very severe on Douglas in connectic
e with Kansas affairs. The acts of the Mort
be said, had made many persons at the Sou
l. believe that the South and her institutions we
ID no longer safe in the limits Of the Union. I
IN denied that Alabama had attempted to dicta
is to this Convention. The instructions TO h
= Delegates were merely for their vigilance, al
s. had it not been for the omnipotent, fnding-o
e. Press, no one but their Delegates would ha
'n known Of their existence.
10 MIR. Yancey's speech was most able, eloque
Of and powerful. He contended that the Dem
y cratic party must accept defeat with cheerf'
~ ness on principle, rather than seek succe
with its violation and look to the sober secor
D. thought of the people for justification an
NJ restoration. He concluded by urging the Sou
a. ern delegates to be true to their constitution
e duty and not to lend themselves to palpab
or wrong to obtain party victory. lfthey ALI
on themselves to be thus made tool Of, tn
r should be hung on political gallows high
ry than was ever built for Haman.
o, Mr.. Pugh took the floor to reply to Mr. VI
n cey at half past seven. He was glad to h
49, one Southern man speak out plainly and bolt
os and tell US what he really does want. He tn
vs. read the resolutions adopted by the Alabal
NJ Democratic Convention four years ago, as rep
OF cd by Mr.. Yancey himself, in favor Of non
IS tsrvention, and at the same time instruct
n the delegates from that State to leave the c
'r- cinnati Convention If the resolutions were
ne acceded to. Alabama did not ask then wi
,g she asks now, nor did the gentleman dem
what he demands now.
Of His (Pughs) remarks were OF the most scs
ich ing charactcr--such as were never before he
,er in Charleston on that side OF the subject. i
