called out by the c erenaucrr.

be an affectation to conceal my knowledge that J j
am indebted for tho honor of thi* visit t' J'*ur i
desire to hear, from iny own lip*, a confirmation
of tho rumor that I will support Breckinridge and
Lane at the next Presidential election.
I cheerfully render my own testimony to tho
truth of that statement. [Applause.]
It might have been more prudent to defer thi
declaration until after a free conference with
those friends in Kentucky with whom f have

has been so generously suataiuud. Other < i >*y

wish to swim on its tide to ahn\en of succous: !
ray ambition is not for place or preferment; it
ri#es no higher than t the simple performance of
duty, and 1 loam tho consequence* to tako < re
of themselves. I have no hesitation a# !• the
position it become* rue, at this time, to af-nme •
and I should bo recreant to my own xn-oof the
obligation a free eilisen owes to hi country* were
l not, when called upon, to odvnnn* tonin’ • •
palley of that jmsitmu with the firmness nn<l
alacrity which import a union of my nonsch-nco
and my upon tho line of com!net I tuc.m
to pursue.
Gentlemen, I am familiar with tho poiniw upon i
which the democrats have taHod to ngreo. They
involve principles which I have frcquenily dis
cussed, in Congress and out of it -on tlio stump,
at homo and el#owh**re. I nm not now taking
a “land for tbe first lime upon those principle*.
I made, in 186 J, a somewhat celebrated declare
tion, that, between James Buchanan, if be were
tho exponent of the doctrine of squatter novorelgn ■
ty, an<l John C. Fremont, ns the opponent of Hi
c’oerine of the Wildiot Proviso, I would not to#*
up a copper for choice. I was then dismissing
tlie Cincinnati platform before tbu people, and 1
then yaw the ambiguity which made it Janus
faced -prc an ting one view to the North and an
other to the Sontb. Boat hem Democrats aid
not believe me. They denounced my suspicions
a* the effect of partisan rancor. I told them, then, ;
that Mr. Douglas did not entertain tbo same
view of the platform they did, and that, one dn v
or another, they would find nil tho evils which j
could flow from such a persistence in maintain
ing party line* at th# expense of important princi* ]
plus, would “come home lo roost.” i must, bo ,
permitted to say I did not anticipate the rupture
which occurred at Chorloston, and w:i# consum
mated at Baltimore, it may sever the tie* which
bound the democratic party together North and
South, hut it is a homage to principle. It ex
hibits the democrats who have nominated John
C\ Breckinridge a* at last awaking to tho fact
which I havo stated to thorn a Hiomnnd times, |
and as ready to prefer Round principles to un
sound party association*.
I render them tbe tribute of my respect tor the
••hole* they have made, and I think their country
will do tho same.
Fellow■-citi*#®*, tho rupture of tho democratic
party ha* taken place essentially on the same
ground upon which the Whig party went to pieces
and which afterwards rent, the American party in
twain. Tbo ramo cause floored tho relation*of
churches, North and South. Jt i* nor nstoui*
ing that under it* force, though ln-t of nil, tin
tower of the Democracy ha* fallen. It D evidence
whieh a considerate people will regur I that itßr.i:
is a wide difference of principle- of ourdina , i
tal principle, that no force of party attf i :ic n can
withstand, aud which demand) a settlement, : :al
and satisfactory.
Gentlemen, after the Whi„ party went to p ecc*
on thi* iISUO In 1852, because .Northern Whig l ’
“spit upon tho platform” which pronounced in
favor of the principles of the compromise of
1850 —after tho American party severed in 1850,
because Northern Americans would not yield this

I understand the matter thu- After tiro vle.lc.
gal met at t harleston tb’ committee on rosn
lutions wa appointed, and in tlint oommitioo it
wn - proposed to reaunounco tho Cincinnati pint
form of 11 as tho platform of principles main
tuinedby the Dcmooratic party. But a part of
that committee, representing constituencies in tho
slaveholvling State.-, asked that this ntuimun o
s*:a it should he liy explanatory res
ointions to this purport \
•*l. That Congress has wo power to abolish
slavery in the Territories. Second, That the ter
ritorial legislature has no power to abolish slave
ry m iu v Territory, tut to prohibit the introduc
tion of sluv es therein : nor any power to destroy
or impair the l ight of property in flav-- hy any
cgislnt on whatever.
‘. Uesolvul, That it is ihe duly of tho Fed
eral Government to protect, when necessary, the
rights of persons and property on tho high sens,
in tlio Territories, or wherever else its eonstitu- 1
tional authority extends.
• . That when the people of a Territory * omo
to make their Stato constitution whieh is an net
of sovereignty - their admission into the Tiilon
should r. t depend on tho question whether
they ehoo.-othiit their State shall he a slnvchold
ing State or a tree State.”
Tin*other part of tho committee refused to no

hope that nil trim Americans who, like me, love

done heretofore, and, by giving to Mr. Breckin

a helping hand to tho maintenance of princi
ples which Ho at the very base of the peace and
the I'nioii of these Slates.
It may be proper, since I have been thus
questioned, that I should say that I am not sock
ing to enter the Democratic organization. 1 dis
ter with Mr. Breckinridge on many questions,
perhaps, us public policy, hut there are many up
on which wo agree 1 havo great confidence in
hi -ense of honor in his integrity ns a gentle
man in his circumspection and caution ns a
talesman iu bis fn i dom from the impulses
from sudden passion in bis deep devot ion to the
bnion and his clear perception of the right and
wrong, whenever ho shall bo called to choose
between them. 1 have marked him closely in
his high office lie lias tilled under this Adminis
tration. It hit* not required him to do much,but
there is uvery high merit, and it requires high
qualifications, in ail elevated station, to do noth
ing and do it handsomely. Little men always
fail at this, because they cannot repress their de
sire to havo their band in the Administration.
I feel that the existing condition of affairs
has imposed on Mr. Breckinridge a still more re
sponsible position than any to which ho has been
called by the people. Ilia candidacy for the
Presidency assert the principles, on the part of
all the States in the common domain bought by
their common blood nnd treasure. It asserts the
constitutional rights of minorities: it represses
the domination of uicronumbers; it enforces tho
great principles advocated by Clay and Webster,
nnd of which 1 have been an humble advocate
ever since 1H.,0. Therefore* I sustain his mum

Mr. Marshal then read the following extract
from Mr. Web-ter’: speech after which he retired
with applause and the stand wa -then occupied
hy lion. Mr. Burnett, of lx unlucky :
‘ The argument is, that hy po.,nihility h may
become necessary to pa law-’ n-Hpeetirigslavery
it slaver , shall over ovist there. Now, 1 suppose
that thearnondiiHiirt proper to Ih- intreducedjfer tho
purpose which has been signified hy Iho gentlemen
who havo spoken would lie to .strike out those
words, and to nay that tho territorial legislature
shall have no authority to puss any for establish
or excluding slavery in the Territory.- It appears
to inc t hat I his is the up-shot, of the whole mut
ter. That i* very proper,because I take it that
ilia meaning of the whole is that this question
shall bo lett. to the people of tho State to decide
after il become* a sovereignty !,y admission into
the Union on the same footing with tho original
States. J tinny he a question far the people
themselves to decide, because 1 take it to he clear
that it i*n municipal question. Din a question
for the decision of tho people in their State sov
ereignty, ami there may boa propriety —in ex
cluding tliee.xereUo of any power in tho territo
rial government for the establishment or exclu
sion of slavery,
It ha# been advanced that I here people, whilo
u Territory, have ii rigid to do anything and ev
erything (hut belong- to the right* of man I
cannot conceive that they have.
Wo have id way* gone upon the ground that
there territorial government# were in a statu of
pupilago, under the protection or patronage of
tbu general government. Tho territorial legisla
ture hu . a Constitution prescribed by Congress.
They Jiave no power not given by that Congress.
They must ad within the limitsof Iho'Conutitution
granted Ihom'Jiy Congres#, or else their act* be
coino void. The people under the territorial gov
ernment are not a sovereignty j they do not con
stitute a sovereignty, and do not possoss any of
tho right ’ incident to sovereignty. They are, if
poll so please to donomiimte it, iu a state of iu
clraate government and sovereignty. Jf we well
consider thi. question upon tho ground of our
pradico ‘luring tho In t half century, 1 think wo
will find ono way of disposing of It. It l* our du
ty to provide fr tbo people of the Territory a
government to keep the peace, to recuro their
property : to assign to tticni a subordinate legis
lative authority, to #co (bat the protection oftheir
persons and tho aorurity nf their property are
regularly provided for: and to maintain them in
that stato until Gray grow into sufficient iuinor
tnneo, iu jioint of population, to ho admitted into
tho Union ns a Statu upon the Fame footing with
tho original State .
It scorn?, to mo that that i~- all our duty. 1 shall
most readily concur in anything which tend* to
the performance of that duty. But I cannot go
into any general discussion about tho right.# ol the
people while under the territorial government,
and do more than they are permitted to do by
that constitution which creates a government

Hell Party Squatter Sovereignly
The Opposition South, have declared their
termination to oppuso squatter sovereignty to (ho
hittorond, albeit they stand upon u platform that
does not repudiate it. They abused tho Democ

which was liable to ono construction North and
another South. This was very dishorn*- 1 in the

Tho flower of the Opposition party of this State

From the Daily /inquirer, July 1 7ih.
I'oHey of (hr Opposition Party of Georgia.
I'd it or I'nquirer: 1 .--uggosted in a former
number of your paper a lino of action for tho Op
position party of Gonrgia, looking to a union in
this State of those votoi ; wlm ..greed ;ipon the
sumo principles. Jf my suggestions had horn
adopted by tho Kxecutivo Committee of the party
I seriously believe that tho constitutional democ
racy would havo met our overtures with u curd in!
spirit, and proposed a united electoral ticket, ba-
S'-d upon term similar to those indicated by my
sclt. It ‘stnio thnl 1 proposojl a course to ho tu
kou by the Oppo*iUon w hich was entorply iiulc
pon<lcu> of Democratic action iu the premise*;
>et I believe that -0.-h a policy would, Iron) its
magnanimity, so commend itself to,the Breckin
ridge party that their J\\votive Committee
would seek a union with u* iu thi* campaign.-
The true eolivtilutioiuil theory i*. that the poo
pie shall ehooso elcotor* in whoso \ivincijdcs,
honesty and good judgment they ha\c confldciicq
nnd that those elector-) shall select from among
the iatesnunof the Inion tlnno who c principle#
nocord with tho majority sentiment for the two
highest others in the government. I wijh now
in sumo degree to c mo back to the t'onstitution,
nnd w hen wo choo*u oitv electoe.- tu anuounpc to
them our position on the pnraiumtnt quc>tioiiH of
the day , olid iiUdrmd Oinn to rule a* n, pro
mote our view. .
I would not urge tho Bell melt in the opposi

had a reasonable hope of carry nig the Htatn, nn
nide.lhy the entire anti-Bell xuU-. |{nf ryi nil
every opposition man in the Statu voted for Bell,
he would still require at least 12,000 democratic
votes to insure nieces*. IVhat a Ap< /<** chance!
But if the Opposition nnd the Breckinridge party
are united, then tho vote of Georgia s made per
Icetly sure against Douglas, and with the certain
!y of being easterca for 101 lif ho receive* I 12
electoral votes from other Staton. Thus you sec
that the suggestion is not made simply to secure
the defeat <<f Betl in Georgia, for it i* tin* only
reasonable or probable chance for Bell, under
any circumstances, to get the electoral vote of
thi* State.
Does the übjootion by any Opposition voter, to
giving a contingent vote to Breckinridge, arise
from any preference to Douglas nr any antieipa
ted union between the 801 l men nnd the Doug
las party? That question will bo best nu.-wered
by the developments of the future. It is thought
by some that Douglas bus no strength iu the Stare,
but it will not do to rest secure in this opinion if
we arc to believe our Opposition pre -. We read
each work in our paper* that the popularity us
Doiigla* is increasing in the booth, lint they ex
hibit tin manifestation of alarm at the alleged rim—
ecs* of thi- disguised free soili-m in .ur mids ,
nor are the Southern Opposition nod the Gonhti
tiitioturl Democracy urged to unite together upon
their common principle* against this treacherous
100 of .Southern Institutions. Why do tho Union
men rejoice at tho increasing popularity t of Doug
las. and why if they halo the Douglas theory,
nnd behold his increasing strength, do they hesi
tate •: help the Breckinridge men secure his de
feat ‘ I* it possible that tho Opposition party en
courugud tku disruption at Charleston, not from
correct motives, but only to divide the democra
cy, and now design to encourage Dougins, and
assault Breckinridge, for tho same purpose ? I
should regret exceedingly such duplicity among
mv party friends.
But. sumo of uiy friends object to the proposed
union beeauso of objections to Breckinridge. If
| their accusations be true, he is certainly until to
receive the vote ot constitutional men anywhere .
1 but, while I do not constitute myself his defender,

in order to sec whether it is indued true that 1

Bruckenridg* has distinctly disavowed squatter
sovereignty, un<l t urn willing that he should have
all the credit he i*entitled toon that uceount: hut
even yet my friends find reason for opposing any
connection with Breckinridge heciiure he was ho
great a foe to the South as to assist in Bussing the
Kansas hill! Turn to the record, and we see ar
rayed with Breckinridge dh the enemies to the
South, in this ‘unholy work of making the Kan
sas hill’ the name* of Briley, Chastain, Hillyor,
Reese aud Stephens, all from Georgia, together
with fi.'; other Southern Representatives. And in
the Senate those Kansn# hill enemies of the South
arc Atchison, Bayard. Dawson, of (la., Hunter,
Butler and 17 other iSoitthont Senators! And
who was it that was fighting for the constitution
al rights of the South so valiantly, by opposing
tho Kultra# bill ? Those peculiar friend# of the
South were the 12 Abolitionists, Chase, Dodge,
Kesf-uuden, 11hutlin, Seward, Sumner, (Yule and
others, aided hy Sum Houston und John Bull!
Are onr friend# answered on this point ? M ill
they ever yhject again to Breckinridge voting for
tlie Kansas Jdll, against there Abolitionists.
Ido not eel at lilrarty to occupy your columns,
farther than is merely necessary •< show that, the
opposition compromise no principle by becoming
allies of Hie Breckinridge party for this cam
paign. To enforce my view#, I might go on fur
tlier tu show that tln-rc r *(k no obligation upon
any Opposition man in Goorgin to cant Ills vote for
the Union eainlldutu for the Presidency, nnd could
make all the necessary proof to sustain this de
claration. But it i> not iny object to make war
upon Bell whilo endeavoring to promote union be

concluding thi-’ urlicle aud ns ii conclusive
argument to my opposition friends, let me remind
them oftheir forgotten platform and the solemn
pledge it contains, as follows • “wo hereby pledge
ourselves to eo.operate cordially with all men of
all parties In this Republic who agree with us in
