EXTRACTS FROM MR.. DrCKTNsON's
SPEECH AT ITHACA, SEPT. 7TH.

Convention called Democratic party
Convention. do not so understand IL.
and take the papers. A voice-"You
do not take Tile Daily Neps!l No. / do
not take The Ne,cs. do not agree
with my friend entirely. l understand
him to object to THE Daily News. think
rebel secessionists ought to have moose
daily, until disposed Of! Great laugh
ter. Now. L know there has been Con
vention held lately. heard of it. But I
do not call it Democratic. And l will
tell you why. For. although it was called
to order by Peter Cagger, and managed
by Dean Richmond. and the resolutions
were offered by Sanford E. Church. it was
not presided over by VIM. d. Ludlow
and that is necessary to its regularity
Laughter. Therefore. / say it is not
binding on this party. To be sure. it was
presided over by very respectable gen.
tlenan, who made a speech upon the oc-
casion. And / was exceedingly g!ad--for
he is highly esteemed-to hear that he
was true on Gen. Jackson's Maysvillc road
veto-that his opinion of the tariff of 1880
was SOL nd--that he was in favor Of the
removal Of the deposits by General Jack
son to the Sub Treasury Of Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's Administration. And if he had Civ
en- his views on the discovery of printing,
the invention of gnnpowder. the applics-
ton of steam. and the telegraph. he would
have pleased me more. for these matters
were quite as material anil applicable
Laughter. Now. rs to the Convention.
The managers would not accede to the
proposition made by the Republicans TO
hold joint Convention, and ignore all
party during the war. Although they
called everybody that would come in and
meet with them, of all political shades.
they refused it on the ground Of principle
You must know that these managers never
/ depart from principle except for interest.
and are greatly concerned about principle
| do not believe one Of them slept one
wink that night after the Republican prop
osition. fearing the loss of principle! And
would not have Joined had | been there;
, because it might well be that. IL they
, should ever get in with Republicans, es.
pecialfy the Abolition wing. they neve,
would know themselves again so as to ge,
out. They never could have assorted
; themselves again when once we'll mixed
| Cheers and laughter 1t has been in
quired in some Secession quarters why /,
in my speeches, do not abuse Abolitionists
and Republicans more. 1t is this: First
in meetings without distinction of party
where all members meet, think it in bad
. taste. In the next place. cannot talk a.
gainst Aolitionists without hitting Cagger
Chlrch, Richmond (the Quirk, Cannon
: & Snap of New York politics, } and Others
y that were at the Buffalo Convention il
lS4S; aud am afraid they would deem il
personal and rs aimed at them if should
speak of Abolitionists. Laughter.l
= am not going to abuse the Democratic
o leaders. though bogus, for do not thinl
/ it would be in good taste. For, though
am now in for . union of the masses,
cannot talk where it hits those who ss
sumo TO run the spurious Democratic ma.
chine. am not going to hurt their feel
ings. as they are very sensitive upon po
n litical subjects. Let us look at their reso
lutions. The State Committee few day,
