In the case of Arkansas, the Congressional
Conventions of the State which nominated th
Democratic candidates for Congress, re appoint
ed the delegates to Baltimore Yet this Con
vention deliberately voted out the regular dele
gates so elected in the first district; while they
declared that the res ular delegates, elected ir
The same manner, inthe second district, were en-
titled to their seats and then in defaace Of tht
resolution OF the Democratic State Convention
of Arkansas instructing the delegates to vote a,
a unit, and in utter violation OF their o,cn uni
resol,tinn, they divided the vote OF the State
giving the bogus delegates from the first district
| the right to cast one vote. and the regular del
egates from the second district two votes; nav
! they even went further, and resolved that. in
case the regular delegates from the second dis
trict did not vote, the bogus delegates from the
first district we're to cast the full vote of the
State! And yet, after such high handed proce
dure as this, we are meckIy told b. the Doug.
las Committee that at must be conceded tha
the report of the Committee on Credentials
was 50 liberal and concatory toward the Sc
&C lers and their friends as to be hardly lust to
the Representatives of the National Democracy

s." GEORGIA. E
In the case OF Georgia, the Douglas men
themselves called State Convention for the
purpose OF having the seeding delegates repudi-
ated by the Democracy Of that State Every
shade of the Democratic party ofthe State par
tcipated in the election or delegates. The Con-
vcntion met, and upon takihga vote, the seeding
or regular delegates were sent back to Balti
more by vote of 300 to Al The f3ttv. ole
Douglas delegates then bolted, and also appoint
ed delegates. Yet the Douglas Comr!ittec on
Credentials at Baltimore, in defiance again Of
the resolution Of the Georgia Convention in
structing their delegates to vote as unit, and
in utter violation of their own iulc upon the
subject, reported in favor Of dividing the vote
of the State, giving one half to the regular DEL
egateS, and half to the bogus appontees OF
the II boilers! But this was too great an OUT
rage even for this Convention, and they voted
to admit the regular delegates, and thus pla
ced the brand of 6ogns on the brow of H. V,
johnson, the Douglas candidate for Vice Pres
ident, Commenting upon his.action, the Doug.
las EGccutite Committee characterizes it as an
hextravagancc of liberality"
Thus was the Democracy ofsovcreign Stat S
wantonly disfranchised in National Conven-
ton, and thus were DEMOCRATS compelled to give
up all fellowship with men so regardless ortheir
own honor, and the welfare and unity of the
Democratic party.
