Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1860-03-20

OF May next We hope, however, that our Alabama
friends viii change the day Of meeting to some day 10
April and appoint delegates to the Baltimore Conven-
ton which takes place OR the 9th of May But here is
the call referred to
aTHE CONSTITUTION. THE UNION. AND THE EN-
FORCEMENT OF THE LAWS
Is q, Val,a mus, be pTSss5ySG =,
We citizens OF the State Of Aabema, hereby suggest
that "a Convention of the Constitutional URioR men 81
ne State who are opposed to the Democratic and he
publican parties organized be held at SELMA, on THE
2SED DAY OF NAY NENr for the purpose OF taking INTO
consideration the nominations which shall have then been
made for President aud Vice President, and appointing
electors for the State TO be voted for in November next
Commenting the foregoing, the Selma Reporter has
the following article which shows the determination OF our
Wing friends in Alabama-men resolved TO repudate
Democracy and cordially support the candidate to be
nominated at Baltimore:
I'VE honestly believe that to-day there are over thr-
t thousand honest conservative voters Alabama, who
DO not sympathze WITH or wish to vote with, either
wing Of the Alabama Democracy aud who do not wish
90 vote for the nominee of the Charleston Convention,
hososver he may be. They who are opposed to
the policy OF the Democratic party, aud who are sick
and tired Of The agitation of the question Of slavery, now
that u has been settled by the Supreme Court OF the
United States and placed beyond the power OF the po
Edcsl demagoues, who are continually hsrpng upon IT.
disturb IT, It's further Sgitrtion do no good, but
will tend TO widen the breach now existing between dit
iereut sections Of the country and result ultimately in
dissolution Of the Union, which portion Of the Democ-
rlcy of Alabama are striving bring about The peo
pie need epose upon the subject and We have no doubt
would be heartily glad that something could be done Tor
o., white man, now that their rights in slaves IN the
States md Territories have beer settled by the highest
tribunal i'm our government. But the Democracy have
rum out of everything else and think continued agita
ton of the question is the only mode by which they can
keep 10 power.
That the iisuniou wing ortbe Alabama Democracy has
control the party i'm this State is settled by reference
10 the last State Convention OF the party In that the
Hon. W. L. Yancy and his right bowers had full sway
and carried things their way aud unless the conser
y-ive element of the State should rise and rally around
some sound conservative, national man, such as will be
nominated az Baltimore the 9th of Nav and put both
wings of the Democracy down, Alabama will be lost her
prospects blghted forever and her citizens in cond
oa chat the present generation can never amclorate.
We are no allrmst, but the signs of the times as to
the te of toe mon are omuou and the Democracy have
brought &C. upon us Something be done ana that
quickly Do will NOT DO TO trust the Democracy longer
They have deceived the people and broken the pledges
made u 55, and the country ten times of
than them Il is time for patriots to arise IL is time
for those who feel an interest in the perpetuity Of the
rr1uiest Government the world saw buckle on
their armor-shake of the shackeS of party and rally
around the standard Of their country There is time
todeay' The enemy are among and marshllug their
forces Shall they be met they were in 20 and made
to surrender or will they be allowed continue their
lcre-cus warfare upon the Union without opposition
N.r.r. NEVER NEVER, Then, We say TO all who agree
with the above clr, go to work. and in after time you
can look back upon your efforts with that pride which al
ways makes the heart of the patriot rejoice
