would go to the many who have hap

ing that which only makes life worth
living. Because the mind has been
rocked they should not be neglected or
ill-treated. The great number in our
state is simply startling. Throughout
the different counties of the state, thus

their opponents with fraud, and called
q mass meeting at Herkimer a month
later. That meeting called conven-
ton at Utica to choose "barnburner"
delegation to contest the seats of the
of bunker" delegation in the national
convention in Baltimore.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that, against the threat of the demo-
Gratis at the south that they would
support no candidate for the presiden-
cy who would not assent to the extern
sion of slavery, and the democrats of
New York would proclaim their deter
mination to vote for no candidate who
did so assent. The Baltimore conven-
ton offered to admit both the "barn-
burner" and "hunker" delegations to
cast the vote of the state, provided both
sides would agree to support the nomi-
nee of the convention. The New York
"barnbvrners" declined both PROPOSE
tions, demanding the right to sit like
other democrats in the convention with
out condition or pledges.

Senator Daniel W. Dickinson was
the spokesman of the "hunkers." He
was answered by jas. 9. Smith, then
only 30 years of age, short of stature,
and far from robust in health, but with
eyes that flashed with fire and sweet,
melodious, but powerful and winning
voice.

This pleased the convention and the

then proceeded to pay his respects tC
Senator Dickinson, provoking mingled
cheers and Kisses. He concluded in
this language:
