HON. II. r. BAYARD AT INsTI-
TUTE HALL.

On the 4th inst, Hon. 7, +. Bayard
spoke to one of the largest gathering
of people that has assembled this year
The expectation of some defence of the
doings Of the Baltimore Convention,
and some plausible reason why they
sacrificed principle by an attempt to
sell the Democracy into the support OF
one of the most bitter opponents to be
found in the entire country-a man
who is hundred times more response.
BILE for the sufferings inflicted on the
Southern people than Grant and all his
cabinet, called out men of all parties.
Capitalization of pOaoer formed the
subject of his address of nearly three
bouts duration. and was an able and
convincing argument against the doings
of those in power for the last twelve
years. Five minutes time was more
than he occupied on hsnsst HORACE,
and he did not inform his audience
that he himself would support him, but
urged every man to vote, and vote
their honest convictions OF principle
and justice. He was correct in giving
the history Of the call for the Cincin-
natl Convention, and said that selfish
and unprincipled men got in there, but
he did not say that those men took the
lead in that Convention completely out
of the hands of its originators, and the
result was the nomination of Horace
Greeley. He did not say that the
originators of that Convention called a
meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
New York, for the express purpose of
calling another Convention to carry out
their original object, and put in nomi-
nation! such men as would unite the
honest men ofall parties and thereby
overthrow the corrupt management of
the Grant party. Those men did not
for one moment suppose that the De-
mocracy that had'so long and unitedly
stood fast to principle, could be so
manipulated as to throw over all its
avowed principles and accept such a
political weather-c as Horace Gree
lev, who has been an advocate of
almost everything and principle that
has been in existence for the last forty
years, except Democracy.
After several consultations, these
men finally concluded to make the
attempt to swallow up the Democratic
party in the nominations made at Gin
cinnat and the result shows that they
were nearer correct in their estimate Of
the leaders Of the party, than almost
any sane man would have believ-
ed. ,g 7il 1C.f4 NpA ail
Whatever may be the result ofthe
present course, If Democracy lives to
enter the next Presidential contest, it
win owe its existence, and preservation
of the principles of Washington, Jeffer-
son, jackson, and the other fathers of
the Republic, to the doings of the pure
and uasold Democrats at Louisville.

Whom the Gods would destroy, they
Can it be less than madness that the
leaders ofthe Democracy in Delaware,
should make haste to be almost the
first to sanction the sale of the party
for what ifsuccessful2 possibly a few
of the loaves and fishes Of office. j
Heretofore the party has been true
to its principles, and when thousands
of negroes were added to the Republi
can party-then as a White Mans
Party they were met by the Democ
racy-and they came out of the contest
with three times the majority of the
previous date.
Since the Lord removed Republi-
can Governor, the Democratic party on
straight-out principles have been sue
cessful until they now hold all the
offices in the State and all three of the
counties.
Delaware is the only State in the
Union that has not, either willingly or
by force of Government interference,
recognized in some way, some of the
usurpations of the general Government.
Only last June, a New York editor
wrote of Delaware as follows
DELAWARE STANDS By THE UNION |
In the Convention that created the
American Union, one of the delegates
1--WE believe he was from New York;
declared that, if the time ever came
when it was in danger, it would be
found that the smaller States would be
its preserver. And now we witness
the truth of this seemingly strange pre-
diction. Delaware, the smallest of the
States, is the only one that boldly CON
fronts the madness and treason of the
hour, and demands that the Union then
created shall be preserved. Alas |!
even Kentucky, with its sixty thou
sand Democratic majority, dares not
openly and distinctly stand by The
Union, while the great State of New
York, in its late Democratic Conven
ton, tacitly assented not only to the
overthrow of the Union, but to the
nomination of man who, above all
others, has done most to bring about
its destruction.
How stands the Democratic party to
day. The rank and file completely
bewildered and lost, at seeing SO MANY
of their former leaders joining hands
with that hater and vilifier of every
thing Democratic-the negro worship.

Those who refuse,to accept the Bal
timore Nominations are accused iby
the adEek atesof Greeley of all manner Of
Inconsistency, and an occasional attempt
is made to- read them out of the so called
Democratic party If we are not mis-
taken, the strongest law of the land is
that of universal usage, whether in the
books or out of, them. For nearly a
century all political parties that have
existed have met in their several locali-
tiles and appointed delegates TO meet in
convention TO nominate persons of their
political faith and principles, never
thinking of delegating a right to those
delegates, UNDER any possible contin
gency of circumstances, to ignore a
universal custom and nominate their
pitterest enemy and then say to their
constituents that they are bound to
sustain their treason, to all principles
for which they were elected. If such
was not the course pursued by the Bal,
limore Convention, what was it2 Did
they not nominate a man who for forty
years has, under all and every eireum-
stance, been one of, the, most unprinci-
pied opponents ofthe Democratic party,

MIR. O'oONoR,s LETTER.

The following is an extract from a

James Lyons of Richmond, Va, Presi
dent of the Louisville Convention.
dated New York, Sept. 30th:
IT the Southern people did moi
know, before l said anything on the
subject, that one of the candidates is n
man OF transcendent ability, they are
slngularly slow of apprehension The
attributable to him. '
The long and disastrous war that
filled his bloody chasm' with fratrici,
dal slaughter, and involved the whole
country in debt and decentralization. is
due to the unequalled energy, com.
bined with folly, ofthis one exceedingly
able, exceedingly amiable, and exceed.
lngly mischevious man. | regard the
possibility of his election with inex.
pressible aversion
While MIR. OConor will not consept
in any way to solicit the office of Presi'
dent, there is not the least donbt hn,
that If elected he will accept the office,
and should MIR. Greeley withdraw as
there is some reason to expect. Grant
may yet be defeated.
BE that as 1t may, every vote piven

The following extract clipped from that
popular journal the Press, Of Philadelphia,
Of April 4, we cheerfully insert in cur col
umns as a merited tribute to al officer OF
whom we have heard most favorable re-
ports:
We notice that that incompatible officer,
General james A. Ekin, has been trans
ferIed from his arduous post as chief quar-
termaster, Department of Texas. at San
Antonia, Texas, to q position Of equal rank
at Jeffersonville, Indiana. General Ekin.
has had trying time of it in the far South.
but has eudaared himself to all classes and
parties by his integrity and courtesy. We
observe that some of the "old officers who
were waiting orders during the entire war,
while Ekin was discharging the most labori-
Gus duties in the quartermasters depart.
ment at Washington. are doing their utmost
to damage him with the department. The
fact should be remembered that General
Ekin was promoted by the express desire OF
President Lincoln, and that Secretary stan
ton eoncurred in his wish BY advancing him
OH the roster. Had Mr.. Lincoln lived, Ekin
would have been made d full Colonel. It is
about time that these assaults upon worthy
men who do not happen to have graduated
at West Point, and who have entitled them
selves to the fullest confidence and shown
their ability to fIl the highest positions,
should be discountenanced BY the PROPER
authorities.
