it left to our own judgment, looking
nt the subject in tho light or party tur
tles, wo slibuUl hnvo chosen *01110 one
oho perhaps. But of course our own
private judgment, on n question of poli
cy, i- not to ho compared to the matur
ed judgment of the delegates from thir
ty states Assembled in solemn council
but if tho making of a President rested
►oldy with us, thoro is only one man in
these United States that wo could prefer
!•> John Bell, and that is Crittenden.—
Tor nearly half a century John Boll
has been in the scrvico ol his country,
and we defy tlio world to point to one
•ndo net of his which shows him want
ing' in integrity, honesty, capacity or
patriotism. Ho is now in his sixty-
fourth year, having boon born in Febru
ary, 17'.»T, a matured statesman, of great
• igucity and Homan firmness, upon
n hose fair escutcheon no enemy can
point to one foul Mot. In his twenty-
.'i t year he was elected to the State
•. nuto of his native State, Tennessee,
and from that tiino to tho fourth of
'larch, 1859, ho has been in public life.
Whilo yet young, in 1820, bo was eloet-
. <1 lii -t to Congress,‘defeating the great
Mid popular Felbt Grundy, backed by
i ,,.n. Jackson. Before bo was forty, in
l-vil.hu whs elected Speaker of tlio
||,.ii-‘of H* presentalives, over Jas. K.
P„1U. In Is 17 lie was elected to the
Uni i
re-el co-
tod in 185
Edward Everett, the
ndidatc for the Vice Tr
The Baltimore Nomination.
It will bo soon, from our special dis
patches under tho telegraphic head, that
the Union Convention, at Baltimore,
have made choice of Jno. Boll, of Ten
nessee'ns tlio champion in the coming
presidential contest, and that Mr. Eve
rett has been assigned to the second
place on tho ticket.
Those nominations, of themselves,
characterise the Convention. They
show the spirit that animated it—a
spirit of genuine eonsevv.vtinn and de
votion to the union of the States. Tho
men nominated arc great names in
American history, and yet neither bo-
longs to any political organization of the
present day. The hitter sectional strifes
of modern polities have possessed no
clianns for either, and they have stood
alone, outside the gladiatorial pale, and
content to servo their country by hold
ing aloof or quietly depositing their
votes on the side of moderation, order
and law. Had they possessed loss pa
triotism and more of tho lovo of Self,
they might have been active participants
in the factious struggles that havo
characterized our recent history. For
this reason—their want of sympathy
with the political elements that now
distno t the country from one end to
tho other and control the machinery of
Ticnn politics—wo fear they aro not
non for the times. If, on thoothev
1, tlio jail-lie mind is wcared of
strife, and duly alive to tho terrible pro
gress wo have made towards anarchy
and ruin, there are no two men in our
broad land, who are hotter lilted for lend-
lion of the better days of tho Republic.
As regards Mr. Bell, no man in the
country lias been more thoroughly
abused; hut fortunately for him, time
has proved his vindicator, and the very
measures which lie opposed, and for
which opposition he received much of
public condemnation in the South, are
now, by common consent, sot down as
infamous and deceptive plots to entrap
the South to her ruin.
As to Everett, when we speak of him,
wo feel that wo are trending oil sacred
ground. Who can speak ill of such a
mail? We cannot believe that ho has
an enemy in tho broad limits of the
ton lies

w .y- being one of the committee on
Foreign Allairs, to the chairmanship of
which lie was appointed by his political
opponent, Speaker Stevenson. After
ten years scrvico in Congress, ho was
elected Clovernorof Massachusetts, and
rt-electcd for three terms in succession
and finally heaton by Marcus Morton
by only one vole, in 1839. Upon thooloc-
ti'-n of Gent Harrison to tlio Presiden
cy iu 18 h', Mr. Everett was appointed
’ Minister to England, awl there remain
ed during Tyler’s Administration, with
Mr. Upslicr, Mr. Logaro and Mr. Cal
houn successively occupying tho posi
tion of Secretary of Stato. In 1813, ho
was appointed to (ill tho now mission to
China, hut declined, and in 1815 ho ac
cepted tlio Presidency of Harvard Uni*
vei.-ity. During tho last year of Mr.
Fillmore's Presidency, after tho death
of Daniel Webster, Mr. Everett was ap
pointed Secretary of Stato, which posi
tion he left March 4th, 1853, to ontor
tho Senate of tho United States. Du
ring his administration of tho oilico of
Secretary of Stato ho had refused the
tripartite treaty which England and
Franco proposed to tho United States,
to guarantee Spain forever tho posses
sion of Cuba. For tho last four years
Mr. Everett has devoted himself to aid
ing the daughters of Amorica in thoir
iumlablo efforts to purchoso tho homo
and grave of Washington. His oration
for that noble object was first delivered
in Kicliuiond, March 29th, 1850, and
lias been frequently ropcated; and
that, with his other ofiorts in tho saiuo
lino, including tho “hedger Papers,"
has produced for the Mount Vernon
Association between fifty and one hun
dred thousand dollars.
Tho ladies, if they only had votes,
would elect Mr. Evorott; hut as it is,
they will aid him all they can, and that
i- half the battle, lie is one of the
) *urest men tho Hepublic over produced.
Though always a moderate, conserva
tive, constitutional Whig, ho was never
: partisan, and for tho last few years,
i-incc the rise of tho Amoriorn and Ho-
publicun parties, he lias had nothing to
do with politics, except to raise his voice
lor moderation, fraternity and Union.
I lo was a prominent candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Vice Presi
dent at Charleston.
i’omay he mistaken; faction is
and nothing is good or holy in
its eyes. We, at least, know—and wo
assort it as an evidence that great virtue
and patriotism will have their triumph
sooner or later—that a large minority of
the late Charleston Democratio Conven
tion were perfectly willing to pay their
tribute to hi-, worth by nominating him
as their candidate for thu Vice-Presi
dency. We suv we know this to ho so;
we derived the information from per
sonal interviews with delegates, both
from the North and the South.
We refrain from lint her comment un
til the full action of the Convention
shall have come to hand.—Stiv, Hep,

Judas ready to betray with a

unworthy of confidence, playing into
the hands of the Abolitionists, iutiuito-
ly more dangerous to the South than
Seward! They have said again and
again, ami recently on the Hour of their
Convention, that his Squatter Sovereign

NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL
UNION CONVENTION.
First Day, Wednesday.
Baltimore, May 9.—Tho National
Constitutional Union Convention, for
tho purpose of nominating candidates
for the Presidency and Vico Presidency
assembled in Baltimore on Wednosnuy,
9th inst., and with great unanimity per
fected its organization and prepared for
the consideration of the important busi
ness to come before it. Theattcndaneo
of delegates was large and general from
all parts of the country, and tho roll
contains names that have always meri
ted and will continue to attract' the con
fidence uud veneration of the unpurti-
sau sentiment of the people.
The greatest entliu-i.i.'in prevailed,
and the delegations u> they entered the
ball WOI’O greeted with applause. The
lion. John J. Crittenden, ami General
Ecslio C'oonihs, of Kentucky, wero loud
ly cheered ns they eiiteied, and were
evidently much pleased with their cor
dial reception.
The Convention canio lo order nt the
call of the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, whose
presence was greeted with great ap
plause, and orgnni/.- d by calling the
Hon. Washington limit, of New York
to the chair who was subsequently elec
ted permanent President, with a list of
Vico Presidents from each of the
States represented. Mr, Hunt's ul-
«, on taking the chair was excellent
iitinient and received with con
tinued expressions of approval and ap
plause.
The President addressed tlio Conven
tion ns follows:
(initia l, no/' the Convention: I thank
you for this unexpected manifestation
of your kindness to me. It fills my
breast with emotion** which render me
utterly incapable of uttering inv feel
ings of gratitude. The being called
upon to preside over such an assemblage
as this, embracing so many gentlemen
eminent lor public service, for patriot
ism, I or high intelligence, for public
and lov private virtue, him honor which
I uio-t highly prize, and which I shall
remember with profound gratitude du
ring my whole life. | Applause.J I
cannot but regret that this honor had
not fallen upon some one more worthy
I better able to till it. I feel you
a double portion of kind
ness to-day, and I could wish that it
had been otherwise ; hut since it is your
pleasure, I |’»*cI bound to respond to
your call, and, according to the best of
my ability, I will endeavor to discharge
tlie duties devolving on me in the posi
tion to which you have assigned mo. 1
fuel I may rely with perfect confidence
upon your kind co-operation and cour
tesy lor the nrcservution of the spirit
and order which should pervade this
body. I seo before mo gentlemen who,
I know, justly estimate the importance
of deliberation, of order ami decorum,
in transacting the business of delibera
tive assemblages, and I trust that, un
der the course of our proceedings, wo
may he able to impress the country
that it is not yet too late tor gen
tlemen to come together an.I deliber

Wi
•onio here as tho representatives
of the independent Stales of tlioU
Washington, June 23, 1859.
My Dear Sir;—1 liavoreceived yo
letter, inquiring whether my friends aro
at liberty to present my name to the
Charleston Convention for the J’residen
tial nomination. Before this question
can ho fully determined, it will bo ne
cessary to understand distinctly upon
what issues tho canvass is to ho con
ducted. if, as I havo full faith they
will, tho Democratic party shall deter
mine in the Presidential election of 1800
to adhere to the compromise principles
embodied iii tho compromise measures
of 1850, ami ratified by the people in
the Presidential election of 1852, and
rcailirmed in the Jvansa**-N>braskft net
of 1854, ami incorporated into tlio Cin
cinnati Platform in 1850. as expounded
by Mr. Buchanan in his letter accept
ing tlio nomination, and approved by
the people in his election, in that <
my friends will ho at liberty to pr*
my name to the Convention, if tin
proper to do so. If, on tho contrary, it
shall become tho policy of the Do
cratic party which J cannot anticipate,
to repudiate these, their time-honored
principles, on which we have achieved
so many patriotic triumphs, and in lieu
of them tho Convention shall inter
polate into the creed of tho party sue
w issuesas the revival of tho Allied
ve trade, or a Congressional slave
le for the Territories, or Hie doctrines
that the Constitution of the United
States either establishes or prohibits
slavery in the Territories, beyond the
power of tlio people loyally to control
it, as other properly, it is due to candor
to say that, in such an event. I could
•opt the nomination, if tendered
Slates winch have united their doc
trines together for great and noble pur
poses, But, gentlemen, we will notdis-
mis« the fact that we come from States
widely sepernted l»y Uistanco, separated
perhaps, to some extent, by ditlereneu
of institutions, clime, uud social organi
zation, and that our Union embraces
two classes and sections of States, which
are, sotncUmcs, at this modern day,
placed in an attitude of antagonism
and hostility to each other. 1 mean
the peculiar tlifiereuccs which exist in
the social and democratic organizations.
There are* those who would magnify
and exaggerate tlicso diHeivnccs to such
a degree that tlio people shall no lon
ger regard themselves as friends and
brothers. Yes, there are such in both
sections of this glorious Union of ours.
1 grieve to say it. There uvo men in
this country who will organize strife in-
em. hut God forbid that tin*
people of this broad laud cither North
South, nr anywhere olso, should gi
sh6uld ever give their sanction to sen
timents of such a nature. Wo aro one
peoplo and one country; wo go forth
under ono ling; we stand upon national
ground, representing the interests ofn
great continent which Providonco has
entrusted to our charge; and 1 believe
tho people will yet prove themselves
equal to tho destiny which has boon
given them, and hand it over, one Ijar-
moniotis nation, to those who are to
come after us. [Applause.]
I nm detaining yon too long, gentle
men, for I have no thought of making
a second speech. In conclusion. 1 will
only repeat the seutimunt I expressed
on a former occasion—that is, that our
deliberations and proceedings may he
characterized by harmony, by decorum,
and by dignity, and that no disturbing
element may come in. 1 trust we shall
not be very much embarrassed in the
construction of a platform. | Laughter
and applause.) We ought not to en
deavor strong!) to establish uniformity
of opinion on a question which
know and understand—a question that
every limn will at least think and feel
according to his own judgment. We
have not come hero to contest the
difi’ereiiee between the various distinc
tions uud tin* shadowy forms of popular
sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction
which have for some time been present
ed, and occupied so large a part of the
attention of Congress and of the coun
try. 'riii*' is not the question which we
have come to settle, and 1 do not think
wo can settle it, if wo would. I prefer
to leave them all where the Constitution
lias left them—|applauso|—leaving
every State in the full enjoyment of its
own rights and its own independence.
All wea»k, gentlemen, (l speak now of
conservative men in that portion of the
country from which I come,) is that
you will manage, govern, and regulate
your own internal alVaiis according to
your own will and pleasure. Du the
ol her hand, we propose to do precisely
the sumo tiling for ourselves. [Ap
plause.]
We do not intend to burden our con
sciences with your ollences, neither do
we want you to burden yours with ours,
but let ouch and e\ci\ part answer for
itself. That is the sentiment which
ought to pervade, and which, I tiust,
will once more pervade, the people of
tliiscountry. A spirit of generous de
liberation will thon once more become
the orduf of the day, and I think 1 see
signs that such is to become the perva
ding spirit—a spirit that has been goin^
on ever since the repeal of tho Missouri
('ninproiiiisc. I trust the time liascoinu
when the peoplo will not ho disposed to
encourage their representatives, in
either section, in hurling invective and
reproach upon the people and represen
tatives of other sections—to place
themselves upon judgment of the con
duct'of other sections of our country,
but will consult ami deliberate upon
those great measures which concern the
wclfurcaml prosperity of tho country at
large, North or South, East or West.
[Applause.] Once more I invoke the
spirit of harmony and union to preside
over our deliberations, relying upon
your kind aid uud co-operation to ena
ble me to discharge the duties which it
has been your pleasure to devolve upon
me. | Applause. |
At the conclusion of the address a
motion was made to proceed immedi
ately to thu nomination of candidates
for President and Vico President of the
United-States. |U|ieers.|
Mr. Shipped, of l’eiinsylvania, of
fered thu following as an amend
ment :
Jiiso/col, That each Stato shall now
nominate one person as a candidate for
the Presidency of the United States,
and one person for Vice President, and
that this Uonvonlion thereupon proceed
to the election of such otlieers from tho
nominations thus to he made, and that
after tin* first three ballots, tho candid
ates having the lowest number of votes
on each sue eessivo ballot shall he droj -
ped, and the- ballot continued until a
candidate shall he duly elected by a
majority of the whole number of votes
shut our eyes to tho fnct that tho only
issue that lias engrossed tlio wliolo at
tention of the people of the United
States, in so fur as they have acted
through their Legislatures and their
great National Convention at.Washing
ton, is one singlo question which in
volves nothing moro nor less than tho
interpretation and meaning of tho
Constitution of the United States; and
that question is this: Whether or not
the Congress of the United States, un
der tho Constitution, lias or has not a
right to legislate in regard to tho sub
ject of slavery in the Territories?—
| Hisses.| [ am not going to introduce
this at all. [Laughter.] What I moan
thei
otion or approval to those who Convention—I
by that, Mr. Chairman, is this, that
may avoid this whole difficulty simply
by enunciating, before wo go into a
nomination of candidates, a plain plat
form of principles which shall leave
totally out of view this distracting ques
tion. [ Applause.] I want to shut that
question entirely out of this coining
all j contest, in so far as tho Constitutional
party is concerned ; and I trust
that, before wo appoint a committee for
the purpose of going into a nomination
candidate for the Presidency and
Presidency, wo should, either in
nil t'onvciition, or by a Select Com
mittee appointed lor the purpose, de
clare that wo are for the Union and tho
Constitution, as interpreted by the Su
preme Court of tho United Stales, and
tlio enforcement of the laws. (An-
i>i»V»-l
Mr. N. G. Pendleton, of Ohio, offered
the following amendment to tho resolu
tion, striking out all after the word re
solve, and inserting—
AVs'-AW, That the delegation* from
each Stato he requested to appoint one
of their number lo constitute a Central
Committee, ami that each person thus
nominated shall bring to that ('oiiimiUce
tho general opinon of his delegation.
Air. Brosler, of Pennsylvania, asked
the reading of the resolution of Air.
Sliippen, and on its being lead, stated
that lie would preface his motion with
tlio remark that he wiis desirous of eas
ting the vote of his district on this Moor,
ami not to vote hy States in making a
nnination. lie therefore proposed an
amendment: That we should immedi
ately proceed to nominate candidates
for President mid Vice-President, with
out the intervention of any committee.
Mr. Watson of Mississippi, thought
the heat course io pursue was “to make
haste slowly.” lie would therefore
propose that we resolve to proceed to
oid.ot at ten o'clock to-morrow*. All wo
want is to he better acquainted with
o.ieli other before wo proceed to busi
ness. Down where I live wo have been
so long abusing Massachusetts and Alas-
snehusetts has been so long abtii
tiiat I thought when 1 arrived in Balti
more 1 would like to ascertain f
self what kind of men there wero wav
down last. [Laughter.] in accord
ance with this determination, I paid a
visit last night to thu Alnssaelmsctts del
egation, iindii nobler sot of men 1 have
not met with lately. We also compared
views on tin* exciting topics of the day-
and I fouml that their views were my
views, and that my views were their
views, 1 could not find one point of
difierenco between us. All we want
was the Union as it is, and tin* Constitu
tion and tin* laws. I therelore came to
the conclusion that wo should remain
for a little time to consult together, and
all Will he well.
I tell you, sir, that there is an upris
ing ol' the people, North, South, East
and West, uud wo aro delegated here to
perform no oidinary duty. Let us do
nothing with undue haste, and our ac

discord and sectional strife.
t *ii the other hand, there is a obis
people, North and South, (1 rejoice to
see them represented hero to day,) who
desire to put away these causes of con
tention, and who feel and understand
and know that our government and
Constitution wero not intended to en
gender these antagonisms and distrusts
between sections, hut to promote peace
and harmony and unity between tlicso
members of tho confederation. [Ap

them gentlemen,) who would if possi
ble, bring hack the public mind of tlio
country to tho consideration of those
grjal and harmonious principles on
which wo can all stand together—one
and insuperable. (Applause.] Be it
our part, however, to promate and dif
fuse a spirit of broad and generous na
tional lecling.pf forbearance and mode
ration, So fur as the broad question is
concerned, which has been made the
bnnoof our polities, it has furnished to
a class of politicians the fiercest ele
ments of strife and discord. But let us
remember, that from our .positions, dif-
dnentums, of surroundings
of habit, of social interest, and doiucs-
trurtion of society, there will
still he certain shades of difi’ereiiee. It
always so. It was so from tho be
ginning; hut did that prevent the great
n of the Hepublic from coming to
gether to form a system of political
rcodom and of self-govoriiinout which
hall enable us to move on as one un
ion; to protect us from all external as
sault, and to cultivate amongst our
selves neaco, concord, and domestic
tranquility? [Applause.] These dif
ferences that estrange and divido the
people of this country should not pre
vent us from going forward to discharge
the great work of self-government, and
to encounter all the ro.-poiisibility rela
tive to those great interests winch are
national, which are commercial, and
which we all hold in common : which
are ready to sustain and defend in com
mon, ami which possess the strongest
claim upon our loyalty, patriotism, and
allegiance to the Constitution and the
Union, which wo havo received from
the hands of our patriotic ancestors.—
[ A jiplmuo.]
A low days ago, having occasion to
visit one of the Western .States of the
Union, I was tempted to extend my
journey farther on, and, for tho first
time, I saw the glorious Mississippi—
that noble and magnificent river which
connects tlio North and South, and
which hy nature’s organic law has de
clared that we arc to be one. As I Hea
ted upon the placid bosom ol the Fa
ther of Waters,in my rctlcctions l could
not but think and feel that, since the
bcneficicnce of creative power has giv
en us such abend of union, intended to
carry civilization, prosperity and. hap
piness to a kindred people, from its
mouth to its source, how vain, how pre
posterous is the felly of man, which
would seperatc those whom God hath
joined together. |Applatisc.[
How small and pitilul tho effort
seems of those who would divide the
Mississippi and interpose commercial
regulations, and customhouse nml ton
iiago duties uj*on the people of this
American Union! God forbid, gontlo-

United States. I take it, sir, that wo
aro about to initiate a great conservative
national party. | Applause.[ And, sir,
whether wo aro successful to-day or

that when this party of ours shall tri

days upon which wo have fallen (and
they are days of trouble tlnd distrust,)
I tell yoiitli.it whatever may he tin*
anteccdent* of any statesman, I would
not, looking to the doubtful future,
trust him, unless lie puts himself upon
a definite platform. [Applause.] lam
here, sir, with my whole heart swelling
within me with but ono feeling, and
that is a feeling lor the Constitution and
the Union. [Applause.]
Air. I.ittell, of Pennsylvania, hoped
that the resolution of his colleague
would not he laid on tho table. Jle
thought wo all had suilicient time to
consult as to the character, standing
and fitness of the distinguished states
man who hud boon mentioned in con
nection with the nomination. What
further do wo want to know of that dis
tinguished mail, .1 oliii Bell, of Tennes
see '? [Cheer*.] He has boon he fora
the country for a quarter of a century.
Wo all know him, uud the country
knows him. lie has been tried in high
positions, both hy his Stato nml the
Union—hi* record is clear and unmis
takable, without a stain or blemish to
lie discovered hy his bitterest politind
opponent. With such a man we want
no platform, lie has stood through
life a defender of the Constitution as it
is, and of the Union as one and indivis
ible. J le, therefore, could see* no reason
for delay, and no possible reason for the
appointment of a Committee on Nom
inations.
I am not here, sir, to disturb with ono
single word that 1 may utter that har
monious sentiment which l should wish
pcrvndonnd animate tho council
ul desil
of tins most patriotic Convention.—
But, sir, wo aro standing in a very pecu
liar and very perilous position. Wo are
arrayed as a party of pence—as a party
whose mission it is to save tho country
from the rash strife of the cnomics of
the Union and the Constitution on the
North and on tho South. [Applause.]
Now, sir, in order that we go into this
contest, (which is to ho a most stirring
and important ono for the destinies of
this nation in all time to come,) wc
should define oi\r position ns a party,
and, in order to do that, we should as
certain and understand precisely, sir,
the attitude which is occupied by the
two great and formidable organizations
which it is our duty and destiny to op
pose in the coming campaign. JVliat is
the position occupied to-day hy the Ke-
puhlican and the Democratic party on
tlie other side ? It is useless for us to
Mr. Swit/.ler, of Alis-oi
to speak, when the ('ha
that (In* delegation from
the door of the buihliu
admittance.
This announcement was received with
deafening npplnu.se, and the delegation
proceeded to 111<* Secretaries desk and
presented tlieircredontials. The Chair
man of the delegation, A. B. Norton,
wore a beard reaching nearly to his
waist, which attracted great attention,
—whereupon—
General Leslie Coombs roso, and
thought it proper to account to the
Convention for tin* extraordinary hairy
appearance of the gentlemen from Tex
as. Some fifteen years ago he had made
avow that believer would cut his heard
until Henry Clay was elected I’re-ideut
of tho United Stales—and it will hr
perceived ho lias most religiously kept
Iii* vow. [ Vociferous applause.]
Air. Switzlcr, of Alis-ouii, inen pro
ceeded. Ho said that he spoke ns the
representative of a Slate which had been
overridden for the hist 25 years hy po
litical demagogues. The question now
was platform or no platform, and he
would say in this connec lion that the
Alissouri delegation stood two for and
twelve iignin-t adopting any platform.
The people of Missouri wanted no hot
ter platform than the Constitution and
tho Union, lie was not opposed to dis
cussing matters relating to the public
welfare, hut this question of platform
was disgraced before the country The
peoplo considered them moro humbugs,
designed only to catch voter*. As, for
instance, what was the Cincinnati plat
form? | A voice, “nothing."] It was, in
his opinion, like a piece of gul.ta pereha.
[A voieo, “Indiarubber.”] It was capa
ble of being cut and put together again.
In conclusion, lie would remark that
he hoped tho Convention would not
peril tho success of tlio present move
ment hy adopting any platform; hut
take the Constitution and the Union,
and with that go before the country.
[Applm.M

the Moor, was greeted with groat ap
plause: 1 arise, Mr. President, for the

to-day, sir, prepared to make a nomina

gates from the different .States of this
great Union, uud she believes tlio time
is near at had when this Convention will
ho able to ngreo upon such a platform
that shall givo confidence to this whole
countiy. [Applause.| Air. President,
gentlemen liavo talked about platforms.
Wo have a great deal to say upon the
subject ol platforms, if that question is
opened up; hut, sir, for myself, (with
out meaning to rcpresect tho senti
ment of those with whom i am associ
ated here,) J say, sir, that when the dis
tinguished men who inaugurated this
Convention appeared upon that plat-
torm to-day, [applause,] that was plat
form enough for the Stato of Maryland.
I Immense appluuse.] Show us the man,
and we will tell you his platform. Wo

Mr. President, wo aro hero at a most
important period of our political history
It cannot he denied, sir, that for months
past a feeling of distrust and growing
restlessness as to our political futuro has
taken strong hold upon tho minds of
tho peoplo of this country. Tho ques
tion is asked, “IIow long is this state of
things to continue? Is this glorious
Union really in danger?" Wo aro here
In a period of calm to take our reckon
ing, and ascertain how far tho old ship
ol Stato has drifted from its true eourso
—to ostimato tlio dangers through
which wo havo passed, and by which
wo are now surrounded, and to calcu
late the chances that lie* before us in tlio
future. 11 we wish to give confidence
to tlio people of this country, I say, re
presenting, as I believe, tho voice of the
State of Atarvland, that we should re
pudiate all pint forms but the Constitu
tion. (Applause.) Now, sir, from the
distinguished name* that havo been pre
sented to the consideration of the State
of Maryland, wc uvo prepared, in a
spirit of compromise, to make a judici
ous selection. We are here lor the
purpose ol repudiating all ullraisin,
both North nml South.
There are good men, constitutional
men, end national men in tlio North a*
well as the South, and we are not to
ho intimidated in tho choice which shall
make by that cry which is raised by tho
Democratic party whenever a gentle
man is presented who may ho supposed
to ulliiiatc with Northern sentiments.—
We desire lo stand upon a conservative
platform, and we say, when you repudi
ate the Supremo Court of the United
States, and its decision, we are at sea,
and we might as well return and go
home to our constituents. [Applause.]
With this view 1 feel bound to say that
the state of .Maryland is not prepared
to go intoa nomination at the present
moment. She asks for time. She will l>e
willing to-morrow morning,after she has
hud an interchange with her brethren,
North and South, and I am satisfied, sir,
from tin* intimations that have been
given here to-day, that wo shall he able
to present a man without a platform—a
man that he can trust upon his antece
dent*, and upon the position which ho
occupies before the country. Uno who
possesses that spirit which has boon tie
purled from by those who aro now ii
power, and which will give coufidcnci
to our country, both North and South,
East and West. [App!uusc.|
Air. Hopkins, of Georgia, desired to
say a few words on this question of plat
forms, uud ho would in so doing, de
tain the Convention hut a few minutes,
lie would suggest a platform in a very
few word*, ile represented tlio first
district of Georgia, anil he was instruc
ted, hy such ini'll an Judge Lord, and by
consultation with the most intelligent
citizens in Ids section of State, to de
mand a platform. After sounding pub*
lie opinion in Georgia, lie lmd consul
ted with citizens of North Carolina, and
they had perfectly coincided with him;
not only that wo should haven platform
hut we agreed in all its plank*. They
thought that there Would he no difficul
ty in giving the South a platform—a
platform that three millions of voters
could stand upon, without, regard to
thu section of country in which they
reside. That platform was the record
of the Hero of San Jacinto, General
Sam Houston. [Applntise.J 1 ask gen
tlemen from Kentucky, from lndiunn,
from Ten no-see, if ho is not tlio man for
the times ? Other distinguished gentle
men havo been named, but they are the
lepvosentutivcs of a defunct party—of
tiio old Whig party. .Wo caiuiot’rally
men to thcsuppnrt of a eaudidato who
has been resuscitated from a tie,id body.
We want a live man, who, like «lenernl
Halri.-on, will lead us to triumph.
Wo tried tlio gallant lleory Clay, but
uoluiilistunding his brilliant civic mt-
vice lo tlit) country, we were doomed to
defeat. We then tried General Taylor,
a candidate who wtifc not known to the
country, except for his brilliant service
| on the luittie field, and lie led us on to u
laUliant victory. We now want u man I
of military renown. [Uric* ol no, m»!| j
I Mihmit it to Kentucky, to Indiana, to
tin* South ? I appeal to tIn: North, for !
lie has fought the battles of our coin-1
iiioii country, uud although you may
oppose him boon use you have other
more favorite candidates, you must ad
mit his high claims to the nomination.
With tin; hero of Buena Vista we drove
die Democracy from their strongholds,
and with the hero of San Jacinto a simi
lar victory may he obtained. With such
a platform us l have proposed l would
go hack and tell tlio plnutcrsof Georgia
that .Sam Houston is the platform on
which 1 stand—and I would do so con
fident of success, so far ns the vote of
that State was concerned.
lion. Erastus Brooks of tho New
York delegation, said: Air. President
—The discust-ioii of thequestious, either
of men or of platforms, even to the ex
tent already indulged in, is premature
uud uiilorluiiulc 1 think I may he per-
uuitr»d t i*tfor thirty-live delegates,
and foY tliftiv thirty-live alternatives—
seventy men upon this Hoot* from the
Slide ol New York—with one heart
and one voice, that they have resolved
to ask this Convention to present no
platiorm to the country save the Con
stitution of the United States. | Ap
plause.] A union of the States ami the
enforcement of the law. [Applause.]
And on that platform, interpreted by
the constituted authorities of the land,
wo feel that we can meet our brethren,
South and Xdrtli, East and West, with a
proper spirit. This eourso will also
promise adegrcoof success before the
people which shall establish the fact,
that neither tho extreme party of the
North or South shall longer administer
the affairs of this country. [Applause.)
Sir, let gentlemen remember how
brief the age of this parly of which wo
have the honor to he representatives.—
It is hardly half a year old, and in that
brief period it is represented hero to
day hy nearly every State of our Ameri-
can Union, |A|»|ilnu-i\] Ills w™ to
leant, us long as we may live under one
government, under one Constitution,
(and with one destiny in view we must
learn,) to he tolerant iind just towards
each other. ( Vpplause.) ‘That justice,
and uni in and concord hotter become
the people of a Government liko this
than any platform which any party Con
vention can inaugurate. (Applause.)—
There is another event which experience
has demonstrated, ami that is, that your
party platforms are meant to decoivo
the people of the country, for they have
their Northern face and their Southern
face. They have one set of gentlemen
to interpret them in one section, and
another class in a diilercnt section.—
There must bo some tribunal to which
wo can nil recur, and lot that tribunal
he the laws of tlio land as constituted
and interpreted hy its highest judicial
authority. (Appluuse.)
Wo invite you, gentlemen of the
South to meet us here to-day or to-mor
row, as in your judgment you may deem
best. I feel, in the diversity of opin
ion which lias been expressed hero to
day, that it is necessary, whatevor wo
may do, to do it in decency and in order;
and whether it is proposed to adopt a
platiorm of one or threo lines, it is
proper that a committee, representing
every State in the Union, should tako
whatover propositions may have boon
prepared ami present them, as tho voieo
ol Jill the Stales, to this National Con
vention. (Applause.) When such
couimiltco shall report, whether it ho
from tho thirty-three or thirty Stales,
that report will he unanimous. I am
sure that it will not only moot your bear-
tv concurrence, hut bo assented to by
those u horn you represent. Thon wo
slinll go on conquering nml to conquer.
\W Imun In inv mvn State, a eoiiRm*.
Wo havo, in my own State, a conser
vative class, who are in favor of tho fugi
tivo slavo law, and in favor of the Con
stitution of tho United States. Then
we liavo another class of men who fol
low in thownko of these. Thoynro for
preaching, as tho great architect of tlio
party preached at Cleveland, for a high
er law than than tho Constitution of
tho United States. 1 am tired and
weary of tlicso disputes. Gentlemen
willnttimos differ in regard to tho pow
ers of Congress, and in regard to tho
judieial interpretation oven of tho Con
stitution of tlio United States, but we
owe it to ourselves ns good citizens to
submit to tlio Inn* and abide hy it. [Ap
plause.) 1 am proud to say this is the
Voice of the Kiupiro State.
There aro five propositions heforo the
Convention, Obviously two or three of
them tiro out of order. For tho titno,
at least, all, I hope will bo withdrawn, in
order that I may submit amotion which
will he convenient to the Convention,
and which is that until otherwiso au
thorized, the rules and regulation of
the House of Hepresontatives ho the
rules for the government of this body.
(Applause.)
The several resolutions wero then
withdrawn hy the movers, nml the ques
tion was taken on Air. Brooks' motion
to adopt the rules of tho House of Hon-
resentutives, so far as tho may he appli
cable, for the government of the Con
vention.
A committeo of one from each State
was then appointed to prepare business
for tlio Conventions, niter which it ad
journed till Thursday.
Tho Business Committeo was in ses
sion at tho Eutaw llouso until eleven
o'clock at night.
Jiesolutions wero adopted declaring
(hat whereas 1’latforms of principles
were only ealoulated to deceive tin* peo
ple, thu Convention will not put forth
anyone, in accordance with tho usages
of tho parties lieretofoio, but that the
people of the Union can have no hotter
guarantee than a pledge to support the
Constitution and enforce the laws.
The proceedings of tho Committee
wero marked hy great harmony, and its
action entirely in accordance with the
speech of Air. Brooks, of New York,
made during the afternoon session.
In relation to veting for thonominoo
for the Presidency, it was resolved that
each States delegation should double
for itself tho inode in which its vote
shall he cast.
