STAINING AFrnAy ON A CANAL BOAT.
from the Portsmouth Republican.
Democratic Congressional Con-
r... YentiOn.

The self STYLED Democracy met at the Court
House in this city yesterday at one oclock. Hon.
John Randolph Cockerill, of Adams county, was
called to preside, and Mr.. |. t. Monahan OF jack
son was chosen Secretary. The president took
occasion, on assuming the duties of the olhce to
make neat and compact little speech deciarlng
the democratic party to be indcstruGtlble Invisible
and the party that was tO rescue the country IRON
the destruction that must oyerake 1t in the event
that il be ruled much longer by the republicans
Mr.. c. seemed to have forgotten that he was read
ont OF this same party during the administrator
of Buchanan because he took the part OF bleeding
Kansas" and liberty, and sustained Mr.. Douglas
in his war against }. b. lie ran wen lor season ,
in the cause of freedom even going into the Union
army, but it is said he became dissatisfied when
he failed to be confirmed as brgadier general.
After the convention had gone through with
unimportant prGlminaries the NOMINATION ior
congress was declared next In order. q. i. moore
was announced as candidate, and as there was
no other announcement, Mr. Moore was chosen
unanimously. There seemed to be no other dis
tinguished gentleman who was willing to make
the race with our irreprOachable and honest stan
dard bearer-John T. Wilson. Acomulittee from
each county IN the district was here appointed 10
inform Mr.. Moore of his nomination. He was
forthwith brought before his friends, and the next
thing in order was
MIR. MoORE's SPEECH
He thanked the convention for the honor con-
ferred upon him, remarking that he never felt so
much embarrassed as he did then and there. why
so embarrassed, he partly left his audience to III
fer. But he partially hinted that 1t was because
he was about to carry the banner of the party he
had so long battled We halfsuspected 1t was be-
cause he was bound up in the harness with men
of Vnllandirhams political vew's--men who la
bored against the war while Mr.. Moore was hight
ing its battcs-The mere recollection OF thcse oy-
cones was enough to embarrass him, and we thinK
his embarrassment will continue until nc is entlre-
ly overwhelmed with defeat. The people oil tins
district will elect men to represent them in cong
ress whose consistency and political honesty ena-
bles them to face their constituents without en-
| barTassment.
MFR. Moore. when he came home from the army
! found that democrats were driven from their par
tv by denunciation and abuse from their opponents
and admiring their patriotism and steadlastness'
he went to their rescue. lie went therc not eX-
Meeting pOsition. He found some things In the
party he did not subscribe to; vet he did not in
form his hearers whether was VAL or the late Sen
atOr Newman he repudiated, or the doctrines they
ld.-He believed the principles of the democrat
ic party must eventually prevail or the country
would 90 to sticks. Although the the Union par
tv, assisted by Mr.. Moore and the soldiers gencr
ally, had saved the country from being wrecke'
by the rebels; vet he was now convinced That I'M
democratic party could alone save 1t. lie also be
lieyed that radicals were rs much secessionists II
keeping out the eleven states as was Jeii Davis
Yancey in trying to take them out. Loyalty an'
uuionism were sneaking cloaks. The rebels ha'
withdrawn all armed resistance and were therefor
part and parcel of the government and entitled L
share In all It's privileges. lie said there were 9th
or and easier modes To destroy government thar
bv revolution and rebellion. Mr.. NJ. did not sa
that for that reason the rebels desired to get bac
into power, but the very fact of their failing =
destroy 1t BY the bullet and his reference to anot
or mode sounded badly To come so near together
We arc sorry we have neither room nor time
notice Mr.. NJ. 5 speech at greater length. Wewi
close this article by referring to one other pou
= made by him He was opposed to thehmcndmer
of the constitution of the U. s. which provide
that representation In congress should be based
the number of legal voters. Is Mr. NJ. In favor c
giving the southern states full representation fu
+ their colored population Then in some district
where there are few white men and great mi
I nv negroes, these few white men will have as muc
power in Congress as the whole white population
of our districts. .... .-,. A
