A far a* we have been able to ascertain public Opinion in this i'tnto in reference to the split of the democratic party at Charleston, there is disposition on all sides to go to Baltimore to nomi nate candidates for tbo presidency and Vice Presidency.

Platform. Blv. said the Colonel, tho squatter sovereignty delegates could have accepted it at Charleston, in one sense, as including slave*, and their interpretation of tho word property, in the free State?, as exclud ing slave?. That, to the argument, and by tho todonel clearly, fully and pointedly stated. It covertly implies that wo were cheated in tho Cincinnati Platform, or were ourselves parties to the cheat. It assumes that there to no faith or honor in our friends in the free States, since it condemns our delegates for using the word • property” instead of ■slave?,” as our friends could Itnvc taken the word “property” as it was meant, and then, when they got home to the free Statos, cheated us by lying, and saying it did not include slave property. If this argument is re peated in many places in tho South, our squatter sovereignty friends in the free States will have good cattfid to exclaim, “Save us from our friends” South of Mason A Dixon's line. Now let us see if a statement of the facts ns they occurred at Charleston, wont both answer tho argumont and vindicate our aquatic* soy ereignty friends from any suspicion of duplicity and want otmanline*?. Tho majority of the States, oighloen, offered tho Plat form in good faith, using the word property in good faith, ns including slaves as property. Then our squatter sovereignty friends accepted issue on the platform, nccoptcd the word “property” its the sign of the things meant slaves nml other property, gfr-’e battle on the whole fairly, boldly, gained tho victory, and our delegates retreated in confusion and disorder from the forum of the conflict. If these facts and this defeat don’t aua wor the Colonel's argntrent. then there’s no ans wer to an argument. Nothing how remains, but tho Coloners censure, and his admission that ho himself would have retreated with tho defeated delegations from the Arena of the conflict, takes from that all value, as far as our friends, tho squatter sovereignty delegations, tho victors in the battle, and which said admission lake? away from his censure all weight and influence against our immediate delegates, Henning, and Jones.— Nothing now remains to the Colonel, hui his company, K.x Gov.

The nn- Ei. nal democraticpUtform adopted at Cincinnati in 185(1 met the cordial approval of nil who be lieve these l nited States to be, what thoir very name imports, a union of State* equal, sovereign and endowed in all respects with equal right*.— This approval wa? based on what seemed to us in he the plain moaning of tho resolution*embra ced in that plat firm. During tho four year*, however, which have sin-*. l interven ‘d, it has become painfully appa rent that tho construct inn doomed by ussonmni tcstly right to controverted bv many members of ear party; that other principle* are supposed to find countenance in that platform principle?, in our'judgment, subversive of the true theory of the Government ami of the Constitution to which our t nion owe? it* birth, and on who ;o pro sow a tu*n its pcrinancn+cxistence depends. \\ hat is tho history of tho recent Convention nt Charleston? So von teen titutes, forming a mujority of the whole, adopted with remarkable unanimity a platform of principles so worded a? to avoid the p w ibility ot'misconstruction principle* deemed political axioms by all who uphold the equal right? of the States a? tho very basis of the confederacy. Many delegates from tbo remaining sixteen States concurred in opiuiou with this majority, cohapmuous amongst whom were delegate? from Pennsylvania ami New Jersey. The State? which aHoptcd this platform give electoral vote* which can he relied on with abso lute certainty in Enor of deinoeratio nominees, and well gr uuded confidence to entertained of u like result in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Theso seventeen States united with Pennsylvn ; nin alottecompriso a majority of tho entire elec- \ torn! vote of the United States, ahlo to elect the ! democratic nominee* against the combined oppo- j it ion of nil tho remaining States. This platform was deliberately rejected by a Combination composed of n small fraction of the delegates from the seventeen democratic Statu* and n very largo majority ol’the delegates of the remaining sixteen States : and a resolution was adopted iu its Head simply reaffirming tho prin ciple* of tho Cincinnati platform, without expla nation or interpretation of its disputed meaning. This wus done with tho openly avowed purpose t enabling tbo democratic party to wagu buttle with some chanoo of suocossin certain Northern und Western btutes by presenting to tho pooplo ii* it* doctrines, principle* openly and expressly repudiated by a majority of the democratic State delegations, and by a majority approaching un animity of tbc democratic electoral votes of the Union. Tho delegation* of eight States, together with • i portion of Delaware, faithful adherents of our I irty and firm supporters of it* principles, wore thus, by sheer force of vole* cast by delegates from States (bat will certainly vote lor the re publican candidates, compelled to withdraw from the Convention, because, in the language of a distinguished delegate, they felt “lhat ii wo* a burning imputation upon iho honor und patriot tom of tho party, that, claiming to ho national, and claiming to have principle* lor it* guide, it hould acknowledge for it* declaration of fuilli a creed upon which are placed two distinctly op posit© interpretations i>y its own advocate*.” Wo cunno refrain from expressing our ad miration and approval of this lolly manifestation of adherence to principle, rising superior to all consideration* of expediency, to all trammed* of p.V'-'ytoVnd Kto.:og witß . .dnglc eya to the dv tenon of lie constitutional rights of (ho Slate*. The delegations of other democratic States, however, (including a few delegate? from the sc coding States.) hot loss faithful in devotion lo principles, were more hopeful of obtaining from (heir brethren some satisfactory recognition of soand principles, and decided on remaining ia the Convciuion after distinctly declaring, hnwev or, their determination utoo to withdraw if their just expectations should he disappointed. I: i -'thus apparent that tlmrc was almo.i, tm lire unanimity of principle in the delegation* of tho only State* on which absolute rcllanco can V,i> pki- ed for democratic electoral vot< •, wliil t there existed diversity of opinion a to the 11 ho ~| | olii v best calculated to secure the triumph of those principle*. Nor i it. matter of surprise (lint in a conjuncture ro unexpected and anuina loti?, when, in tho enunciation of deinoeratio principle?, tho voice of Virginia was overborne by Unit of Ohio, and Louisiana and Arkansa* were forced to succumb t > Vermont and Mich igan, there should bo excited lyellng?, divided counsels and discordant action. In the subsequent proceeding* of tbc Conven tion, however. wo think that disiim i intimation* may ho discerned of a disposition on the part of Ibn Convention to rnocdctioni it? determination, and to afford, either by nu amendment of tho platform or in some other manner equally Hat to factory, such recognit ion of principle* i would effectually obviate mtommsininiori i.ml soonro (be harmonious action of tbc party, ami that ft was only beennae of those intima'ion.- that, tbo delegate* of tho remain it g detm erotic .Slates consented lo join ill tbo ballot which took place with no other efleet than to induce an adjourn ment 10 Baltimore to tlm f ill June, whilM tho seceding delegations, adjourned loiucof at Rich mond i>n the (•(•ond Monday nt the mi mo month. On tjito sluto of tin t * tho putli ficom* open tor the united action of tho party, and no iiisiipera hie obstaclooppow- the restoration **t in har mony. So believing, wo insist (hat our position •i representative* of democratic State* anil con •t it [icncior. forms no j(-l bar to our right, but rather impose* on u* the duty, ot joining our ••I,tinsels with tbo o ot our democrat to brcthreii, and uniting in their effort.- to secure tin triumph (.four principles. It is plain that, if the Convention shall at Bal imorc adopt a mttofaelory platforniof principles before proceeding to s’ ln-t ii candidrilcs. tho i .- I ~n which dictated the withdrawal of the del egations of tho eight States will luivo censed and no motive will remain for refusing to unite with i thoir sister Stator nor tor holding an adjourned J mooting at Richmond. On the other hand, if tho Convention, on re assembling at Baltimore shall disappoint the just expectation* of the re innining democratie StatcH, their delegations can not fail to withdraw and unite with the eight State* which have adjourned to Richmond. In cither event there would be unanimous action in support, of our principle* by nil the States which can bo rolled on for casting democratic electoral vote*. electoral >otc*. I'roin this statement of facts, is it not c\ idont thiii the wise and prudent course now to be pur sued by the delegations of the eight States is to defer uTscrabling in Richmond until the nocessi ty for such meeting shall become imperatlvs?— Ought they not, in view of the already altered condition of affairs, to return to tho Convention at HnltUnoro and aidthoir sister States in tho struggle for ike recognition of wand democratic principles? May ii not be that their votes would now suffice to turn ibo s.-alo, to purge tho j.arty creel ot all heresies, and to emblazon on tho par tv banner its honored device of fidelity lo the Constitution and tbo I'nion in clmracto, h so clear a.< to defy mi construction. Hoppose far a moment that in this lant strug gle for the right they should again ho overdone: I it not then equally plain that the delegations ol'tho other democratic Btato cannot for an iu stant be suspected of an intention to refuso to redeem their pledge ol withdrawal from un as omblage which shall persistently determine *n tlic A-acrlflec of principle which they themselves have declurod indispensable for their united ac tion to a supposed expediency? And will not idl the democratic State* thus withdrawing and adjourning to Richmond bo joined by the true and faithful delegates from Pennsylvania and Now Jersey, from Indiana and *New \erk- -aye from every ono of our sister States where dele gates are found imbued with the living princi ples of our parly, but whose voice has hitherto been stifled in tho Convention, because of their being In the minority of their rjspeotlvo delega tions,? For it is a striking tact not t< be overlooked iu this connection, that whether tho Vote has boon taken entirely by States or by delegates, in ••ither event there was a clear majority in the Convention in favor of tho recognition of sound . (institutional principles, and it was only by ta king part of tho votes by States and part by units, and another part by divided States that an apparent and factitious majority succeeded in preventing that recognition. The answer to all tic foregoing question* seem to us to bo clear and plain. The line of conduct wo suggest loads, in our judgment, to a reconcil iation ol differences on a bails ol principle, ft leads t<> the united and harmonmuH action of our party. It does more,infinitely more: It so ouro* vastly added strength to that, assertion of principles which uoiie of u* would for an instant think if compromising: it compels their rooog ni ion and proudly vindicate* tho action of tin* seceding delegates, who will thus have secured tho object of thoir struggle, und have merited \ the applause and gratitude of their democratic ( brethren. Tho contrary course would, we believe, be pro | duotivo of mischievous consequences. Time doc? not permit the action of tho regular organisations ‘ of our party in tbo respective State?, and who j alone have the power to apeak their will, to meet iu council and give instruction* to their delcgn tious. Ilow is tho voice of California or Oregon to be hoard in time? How are the constituen cies of Texas and Virginia to meet in Statu con vention? ami give authoritative expression of j their will before the middlo of June'. How can! the machinery bo put in motion by which the j democratic voter* will direct attendance at Bal timore or Richmond in accordance with their judgment? Evidently this cannot Vac done. Ev idently, the delegation? already elected are the only ones that eon art, and they tmint act on their own judgment in n conjuncture which does not allow opportunity for instruction by their constituencies. A refusal, thou, by tin* delegates of the seceding States to return t > Baltimore, a refusal to deferJllie Richmond mcotiug until (hero shall bo an uncontrollable necessity for holding it, would inevitably reHiilt iu incurable division to our party, the solo conservative or ganization remaining in our country; in its final disruption; worse than all, in the endangering of the successful assertion of its jqdnoiples, com pared with which the success of a single electoral struggle to unworthy of one moment's considera tion.

Resolved, That we. the dolegatcd repre.-enta tives of tho republican electors of the United States, in Convention assembled, in thedlst liargo of the duty wo owe to our constituents and our euuntiy, unite in tho following declaration?: First -That tho history of tho tuition during the last four years has fully established the prop riety and necessity of the organization aiul per putuation oft he republican party, and that the causes which (failed it into existence are perm anent in their nature, und now more than ever before deinuud it s peaceful and constitutional triumph. Second —That tbo maintenance of tbo princi pies promulgated in tho Declaration of indepen dence, mid embodied in tho federal constitution, to casential to the preservation of our republican Institutions ond (but the federal constitution, the rights of tho tStatos, and the Union of the (States, must and shall be preserved. Third - That to the Union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in pop ulation; its surprising development of material resources, its rapid augmentation of wealth : it* happiness at home and its honor abroad ar.d wi hold in abhorrence all scheme* for disunion, come from whatever source they may; and no eongrut ulato tho country that no republican member o Congress hus uttered or countenanced a threat of disunion, so oftt n mad© by democratic mem ber* of Congress without rehuko nod with ap plause from their political associates; and we de nounce those threats of disunion, In case of a popular overthrow of thoir uscmdoncy, us de nying the \ ital principle* of a free government, and ns nu avowal of eontompluted treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people strongly to rebuke and forever silence. Fourth—That tho maintenance inviolate of tin rights of tho State, and especially the right ol each State to order and control it* own domestic institutions, according to Sts own judgment ex clusively, i? cKsential to that ballance of power on which tin* perfection and endurances of out political faith depend, and wo denounce the law le? invasion by armed force of any Stale or Terri tory, no matter under whut pretext, a* among Iho gravest of crime?. Fifth That the pfotwntdfiiincrat ic administra tion bn* fur excelled our worst apprehensions in its men un-loss subsorvoicticy to iho exact ions of a • cciioniil interest, as i especially evident in if: desperate exertions to force the infamous Locoiup t<>n constitution upon the protesting people id Kansas in construing tho personal relation be tween master nod servant to involve uti unquali fied property In perstoiiN —iu its attempted en forcement every where, on land and sen. through the intervention of Cougrea* und the federal courts, of tho oxtreino pretension* of a purely lo- ‘ cal interest, and its general amt unvarying abitne of the power entrusted to It by a confiding poo pie. Sixth —That the people justly view with alarm tho reckless extravagance which pervad- ? every department of tho federal (government: that ft re turn to rigid economy and accountability to in dispensable to sire t tho system of plunder ot the public treasury bv favored partisans; white, the 1 recent startling (I. v topmentsof fraud an 1 cor rupiion at tho tori* metropolis show I bat an en tire change of adim.. ml ration is impcr.it.vdy de manded. {Sev enth—That tho new dogma that the o.iDillu tion of it* own foreocarrios slavery into any or all the Territories of tbo United State?, to a dan- J gcrou* political heresy, at viriaacc with the e\ Illicit pi.. isinii* of that instrument itself, with cool uqi'.r.inenu* exposition, and with legislative and judicial precedent, to revoluttonaiy in its tendency and subversive of tire peace and harmo ny of the country. Eigth, That the normal condition of all the Territory of the United States i? that of freedom; that, a* our republican fathers, when they had abolished sinvcry in all our national Territory, ordained that no person should bo deprived of lilc. liberty or property without due prooc.-s of law, it become* our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation to necessary, to maintain this provis ion of lire constitution against all attempt to vio late it: and we deny the authority of Long res*, j of a Territorial Legislature, or ofuny individual?, i to give legal e.xtotenciv to slavery iu any Territo- I ry of tho United State*. Ninth, That we brand tbo recent reopening of j tin* African slave trade, under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity, it burning shame to our country and age, and we call upou Congress to take prompt and efficient measure* for the total and final suppression of that p.xccrn Ide traffic. Tenth, That in tbo recent vetoes by their fed eral (lovornor* of tho acts of the Legislature ot Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in those Territories, we find u practical illustration of tho boasted democratic principle of non-intervention and popular sovereignty, embodied in the Kan su anu NebraskaMJl, and a denunciation <<l the deception and fraud involvod therein. Eleventh, That Kansas should of right bo im mediately admitted as a State under the consti tution recently formed and adopted by her peo ple, and accepted by the House of Representa tive*. ll>w. Twelfth, That while providing revenue far the support of the general government by duties upon imposts, sound policy requires such un adjustment of these imposts us to encourage the devslopo nieni of the industrial interest of the whole coun try, and we commendthat policy of national ox changes which securest.) tho workmen liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to me chanics ami manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to tho nation commercial prosperity and independence. Thirteenth, That wo protest against uny rale or alienation to others of the public Wind* held by actual settlers, and ngainst any view of the free Homestead policy which regards the settlers ns paupers or supplicants for public bounty, and wo commend the passage by t .'engross of thooompieto and satisfactory Homestead measure which has already passed tho llonse. Fourteenth, That the national republican party is opposed to any change in our naturalization laws, or any State legislation by which the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired: and in favor of giving a full and efficient. protc lion to the rights orall classes of citiz.ons, wheth er native or naturalized, both at home or abroad. Fifteenth, That appropriations by Congress for river and harbor improvements pf a national character required fertile accommodation ami •ocurity of an existing commerce are authorized by the constitution, and justified by nn obligation of the government to protect tho lives and prop erty of its citizens. Sixteenth, That a railroad to tho Pacific ocean is imperatively demanded by the interests of tho whole country: that tho federal government ought j to rouder immediate and efficient aid in Ita con- | st rU Jtion, and that, as preliminary thereto, a daily J uv. rland umil should be promptly established. Roventeonib, Finally, hn\ ing thus net forth our distinctive principle? and views, we invite the eo- 1 operation of all citizens, however differing on other question;*, who substantially agree with us iu their affirmance and support.

Mr. Douglus Slid lie had no testator discussion j as tft tbo personal or political position of any Son ator. Ho bad no assault to make on any one. ‘ and no liupuaohthent of any one'? record. Hu did, j j however, complain of so much of the. speech of I the Senator from Mtostoippi as arraigned hi* con- I ; duct. It would be necessary to refer to the Scnn tor’? course, in order to explain hi? own, and he | would take a? hi* text certain extract* from the ‘ speech of Mr. Davis, which he caused to ho road. ‘ Mr. Douglas said tlu* extract? conclusively \ showed that the doctrine of popular sovereignty j did not originate with him. I t wa* presented in j 1818, with Gen. Cass hr tho nominee, on the basis 1 of ii on-intervention.

Ho remarked that many gentlemen, who then j approved of these resold tic ii?. were now con j ►oicntiously opposed to them. If he could for give them for their change, fhev ought !<• ho willing to forgive him for adherence i hi* own j principle*. Mr. t a?* on tliu-fth ballot, had tot | Southern vote*. Even South Carolina, when sho j muml .-he could not. elect her own favorite, yield- , cd to the v inee of the majority, and gave her ad \ htitdoM to :ho champion nt’ Squatter Sovereignty. ; The next day the platform was adopted, declaring against Congressional intervention, nml that in- j (er!erence,*by Abolition it I or oihirtq was danger- , ous. Whateteo? Why, those who’row want a slave j oodc were than classed by tho Democratic Con volition as tad a? Abolitionists. On the succeed j mg day, Yanoey brought in a report, protesting j against tho action of the <'ouveutiou tor recog , oiling th© power of tbo Territories on th©subject | of slavery, which was identified with tho views j which cause i hi? withdrawal from tin* Charleston (’ invention. He meant no disrespect, to Mr | Yancey. They bad personal relation of the kind- , oftt character, lie admired tho candor and con sistency with wbtoli beoxpresHud his views, but shrunk with horror from the results likely to flow from their adoption. Mr. Yancy’s rupor was re jected - ayes ::il, nay? 2lfi, Among tho nays were Dolowaro Virginia 17, North Carolina 11, Mi-sissippi ii. Louisiana 15, Texas 4, , Tomicpsoo 12, Kentucky II: many of which lin vo now withdrawn from Charleston because this doctrine was not incorporated iu tbo platform. Ho left the people to decido who had changed. Ho thought ho had conclusivoly proved that the ! Democracy luid proclaimed tbo doctrine of non intervention in 1818. Tbo Senator of Mississippi was one of tho tow who refused to acquiesce. Ho opposed tbo doctrine', but supported the squatter sovereignty nominee. Mr. Douglas next showed that tho principle wa* incorporated in tho cumprumiso measures of IfiiO, and that Clay and Cn averted ‘ho power if tho people of tbo Territories on tho question of davory. lie also road from his own speeches, to diow that his position was tho so mo then n now.

In* Alii’ ama the result was iho same, and Yancy and hi? collognos were told I that tho State hud respect for tho law?. Georgia sustained the doctrine of non inrerveution by | 2100 majority. The secession tot* were obliged j to become suhmtosionists. and in Booth Carolina j yourlUiett?, etc . were put down by tho Union j men. Mr. Douglas said tlie Democracy pahlun ..d Mr. Davis .n tlov ground of bis oeopuicsccnce ! in tho comprotni-c roe: ore . and ho granted him j quarter.

Ihe Derttacrary had no intention to pro scribe those who entered into tho orgauization and were willing to support the regular n ruiuee. lie then took up the Kansu* Nebraska bill to show that the same doe.trine of non-intervention enter cd into that, and read the resolutions ot tho Geor gin Logtolnfure of 1 “ ■ J, after its pnstage, to show tlial tin- country understood the measure as be .lid.

If be could forgive them tor changing, could they not be magnanimous enough to forgive him tor ad hering to their former doctrines? lie did not believe the Alabama Jtemoern. y would follow the lead of Mr. Yancey any more than they did in 184S. Mr. Dougin.-, then exhausted, gave way to adjournment. WAHtUNofoN, Maj 10, |BflU. Mr. Douglas, resuming hto argument, at the 1 point where he concluded on th© d.iv In tore, he proeeode.lto stale in tb© line of testimony which showed the successive committal* ot the Dcuioc j racy to the ductriuo of non-intervention, that Mr. I Buchanan, in hi- letter accepting the nomination offered him by th© Cincinnati Convention, had ) given the snino con-1 ruction to tbo Kansas No- , ! tuiska act 0* wu* non’ sought to bo repudiated. Mr. IlreckenriJgo, in a speech made to his neigh- j j l.ors soon after bto candiducy. had held language . of similar purport. Were tho Southern Democ racy willing to take the con truotion of these j distinguished authorities ‘ H so, he askod tndli iug more. Thft indy point in controversy between the two j division* of the Democracy rotated to a judicial j question touching the power of a Territorial Leg wlaturo, if th© court has already decided the question, thou the controversy whs at an ond and declarative resolution* were aliko unnecessary and nugatory. If tho court hus tot decided the point, what could bo gained by declaration? ns to a subject matter avowedly referred for adjudica tion to the judicial tribunals? In either event, it was gratuitous to erect upou this topic new test* of Democratic orthodoxy for the purpose of divi ding and distending tho party. S*u h a tost had been applied to him in hi* removal from tbc chairmanship of the Committee ou Territories, , but tho Democracy at Charleston, by reaffirming th© Cincinnati platform, had declared that any such tent was without authority. The Democracy of the notion, in convention assembled, had done him justice on this score, and by their unanimous rejectlion of the spurious del egates attempted to be foisted on them by the federal office-holders inllUnoir, had also declared I that the said offic- bolder* and h cir ] formed no part of the nnlteiuil Democracy. In j spite of attempts to pr* uounee him ‘* unsound, a majority of tbo delegates in that convention had , declared him their choice far tho Pi cadency. I or himself, ho asked no more than this, but he could | not concede the rigli* of . minority to dictate to i to tho national Dome, rncy both their principles i and their nominee . The attempt fa do this found u fitting champion in the person of Win. L. Yancey, a man who, hut a little more than u year ago, w.h confessedly Kecking “to precipitate the cotton State* into rev olution,” with a view to adlssolat ion of the I'hion, un d who has since publicly denounce*! the (States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Virginia as unfit to lend in any movement for Southern rights.
