of the friends of rival candidates from

Wasiiim;tux, Tl.uixliy, July 14tli.
1 lie political and financial calm that
prevails in the country is favorable to
the di-passionatc consideration of the
popular sit' ject of ihe. next Presidency.
At ail gatherings, public and private, at
this season, wlwte active employments
are partially suspended, the Presidtntial
question is the nhsot hing topic of con
versation, and is discussed generally in
good temper, nuil with an apparently
sincere disposition so to decide as Lest
to promote the public welfare. Paily
ties have become weaki tied, and section
at agitation lias to some extent, sub
sided. The number ot pnitieaiifi, too,
who engage in a Piesidential contest,
merely tor spoils, is becoming relatively
to the whole mass ot the voters, very
-mall, and their influence' has tensioly
diminished. Then-lore it is that tbe
l’lt s dciitial question is now considered
iii a better temper than formeily.
Among the Democrats gi'iieially.both
South and Noith, thcie aj pcais to be a
desne and deteiiuiuatiou u, select and
elect u candidate who will pioperly rep*-
i esc nl liie pi mcples which form ihe basis
ot the compromise measures of 1850 and
of the application of thobu principles in
the Kaus,8 Nebiaska bill; and whu
will also icpieseiit and respect the piin-
ciple established by ilie Died Scull de
cision that Congress lias . o power Io
pass laws excluding slavery from the
teiritories. AJ these principles an;
considered as settled and fixed, beyond
the power of any political change —
Even it it was definable t«i annul or al
ter them, it could uot hour be done
without a revolution.
Tbe democ-.acy n united in the sup
port of these principles, and they f„i , n
tiro real and substantial issue on which
ibc party is to stand unshaken. There
are bouie subordinate issues, it is true
such as tiee trade, te.-iitoiiul expansion,
railroad to the Pacific, &c„
, • . h inch
withdraw ins resolution, to give him a amounts practically to nothing,
chance to offer a res* fuiion to postpone Tbe party, 1 run quite certa
llie nominal ion of a candidate fur Gov
ernor to a tut tire day.
Mr. Corbitt declined to withdraw.
The billowing resolution was then
certain, will
not. in lin-irnumitiati g Convention, run
wildly after the false issues which borne
individuals, who ure really hostile to it
and to the Union, would make for it.

of any duty imposed on me by ihe civ

\\»vliave a light this day. gentlemen.
In congratulate ourselves, and llie •! *
unn-riicy of tin* old iuvincilde Grh, with
the kind and fialernal feelieg that t x
ists, win'n coiiipired with that of tin-
convention which met at this place, two
years since to perfoim a i:ke duty to
that which has been assigned to n> —
And from what I have been aide to as
cei tain, such ui.a itiiitv of feeling that
exist, in this convention, stands almost
uiiparalellvd in coiivvntioiis of like char
acter.
li is true. g*-ii’lenicn. that we s?unn
times have ?m.- family qnariels, as i: re
ganls llien and minor measures, Lui,
1 lieu, we do imt pemiit outsiders lo
iiiteifere in our family feuds. For when
ihe gieat cardinal pi iueiples of our part y
are j resented to us they meet wiili ,1
response that vibrates in every demo
critic breast. Wo have met tieie to
la} - , gentlemen, as the represeniaiiv. s
of the demociTtic party of tins district to
ct a standard he.uer from amongst
llie detnocraev to hear aloft our loinnei
which has so oft wave I vicuirious on
many n well contested tit Id. I feel
warranted in saving to you that l have
not a doubt but what you will this day
present a candidate and a platform that
will meet with a response from almost
every democratic bosom in the district.
No people are more happy than we aie
—all ot which has been accomplished
under the glorious old demociatic ban
ner—first unfurled to the fi'eeze by a
leffursoii. and lias received additional
splendor from each demociatic adminis
nation since Wi 11 may we feel proud
of such a banner under whose ample
folds so much good has been accomplish
ed fin- our common country. “James
the IV. of Scotland, once pi evented to
the people of Edinburg a beautiful ban
ner iu token of his respect to them for
their law ful service ; w liich caused much
enthusiasm amongst them, and at tin
dicndlul battle ot Flouib-n, wherever the
bat'le raged,tin* fieicest or tlie dead la
ti e thickest—there was seen that hai
ner; and when it was canieil backlo
the city, they seeing ii safe, forgot thcii
iiuutteiable gin f a d wue " The ban
ner tl.at we 1 bis day uiifuil afresh lo tin
breeze, is more dear to us than was tin
banner of James to the people of Edin
burg. So interwoven has our dearest
iiueres s become with that banner that ii
lies become almost as sacred to us as the
star spangled banner itself.
Under this banner our country lias
grown in greatness and grandeur uupnr
aleiled in the history of the world —
Under its ample toKD we have met and
conquered every conceivable opposition
Under its folds we anibilatetl Hie bold
and independent Whig party with their
principles uisciibed on their banner,
every one of which they have abandon
ed. Under this banner a like fate awaits
any and all opposition. It is true, as
before remarked, that we at times differ
on minor pmuts of policy and men, con
sequently its not Htinnge to find some
opposition to tho administration of Mr.
Bui liauuu on some points, yot wc are
bound to admit that he bus “loske.d well
the great cardinal pntici-
p'es of the denioc. Htic panv have been
cherished by him And when we have
so fiiuch abuse and vituperation heaped
mi him by tfie opp-.Mtioi, it is out im-
perifttive duty to look from whence it
i*ni es and to cling the closer to him. for
such lists been the ease with every dem
ocratic administration, ami still we have
prospered anil under his administration
wo are as prosperous and happy as un
der any former one, and I f?-cl confident
that posterity will do him justice, and
that his adiniuistiation will form one of
the greenest spots oil history's page.—
Nut withstanding tl e abuse which has
been heaped on him, we look on him
••Like :i tall clift that lilts its awful form,
Swells from thn vale ami midway leaves tfie
alarm,
Thougli ammo! Ii3 base llie rolling clouds
are spread,
Eternal sunshine rests on its heal.”
We, gentlemen, are bound to believe
from tlie. history of our country, that it
has been well aominisU-red. The mini-
her of our States are almost thrilded
from the original thirteen which wa® first
colonized by a stn of hardy individuals,
driven out Irnin the storms and miseries
of Europe to dwell in this land of prom
ise. Ann when wo look at llie vast pro
gress we have made in all the elements
of human happiness, greatness nod gran
deur. xve are ©untilmint'd to admit that
it has been well administered, chd that
too, almost entirely ly the democratic
party. With such proof, as this, it is
0111 duty to insist on the peiputuity of
democratic measures and then.
Gentlemen, before I take my seat
their is one thing 1 wish to say. Much
has been said in relation to an indepen
dent candidate from tlie democratic
ranks in opposition to the action of this
convention; many nan es li iv< been mei *
tinned, the most prominent of which whs
the name of my friend, Col y. J Smith,
of Towns. I am happy to inform you
that lie will 11 it beat t Iii a time, a candi
date out side of iln* regular demociatic
organization. This. 1 know to hi true.
