LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 3.-The ma
Iional democratic convention assembled
Today in the commonplace courtroom of
he court house. Previous to and during
The assembling Of delegates the second
regiment national band, OF Philadelphia,
played various airs. At about ont o'clock
Colonel Duncan called the convention to
order.
Rev. DR.. Pratt addressed the throne of
grace in an eloquent prayer for concord
and peace and freedom from sectional
jealousy throughout the land.
Colonel Duncan then spoke as follows

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION 1T
10 my duty to call this Assem- blage to order
Iu objects are we'll known and require no
explanations. We have been derisively

not my province to cast reflection upon
the motives Of the leaders in whose wisdom
and judgment the party unfortunately
confded. Their action is invalid and
void. 1t has no binding effect upon other
members Of the party, and it has already
been repudated by hundreds of thousands
No spirit Of presumption or forwardness

ley. We did it with higher and no.
bier motive; we did II to vindicate truth,
and TO protest against the offered reward
for political treason to one who had occu
pied lifetime in the bitterest animadver-
sion Of those whose support he had sought.
If our call had been a failure our duty
would have been none the less performed.
But there was sympathetic chord in the
American heart, which responded in en-
thusisstic and harmonious tones to the
musicians touch. There 10 a love for
honesty, a venerati0n for principle, deep
rooted desire for reform in the hearts Of
the American people, and the semblage
that l zee before me to-day evinces
the earnest intention to uphold that BAN
ner which had fallen from nerveless and
incompetent hands, and to prove that the
old organization was not dead, but only
sleeping. 1t has not died of its corrup-
ton, as the lstter-day saints proclaim, who
are so eager for its destruction. 1t will
not hold out hopes Of reward for party
treason, nor brides 10 secure generals from
the enemy's camp.
The eyes of the whole country are d.
rected to this convention, and many anx.
ious hopes are TO be verified or blasted, &C.
cording a. wisdom or its negative shall be
the controlling spirit of our deliberations
We can make this body famous
one in history, as the source from which
the future policy and destiny are to be
shaped. We can make it equally signif-
cant and destitute of influence. We want
no hydra-headed platform, which can be
constructed according to the wishes of the
reader, for We have clear and undoubted
theories which can have but one interpre-
tation, whether expounded in the north
or in the south. We can have no intent
TO reopen the questions of the past which
the sword has so bloodily decided. We
will give no encouragement to sught that
looks towards revolution. nor can we,
while submitting to the inevitable, and
powerless TO reverse which has been &C.
stultify ourselves by COM
mendstion of acts performed in violation
Of the constitution. We must seek our
alliances upon principles.
