Attlie expiration of the hour allotted
by the rule Mr. Yancy was allowed t
half hour longer to conclude hia speech
on yeiterday afternoon. His speech
was eloquent and powerful. He did
hot spare the Democracy of tho North,
hut after recounting the aggressions
made upon Southern . institutions he
naked wheh had the South ever invar
ded the rights of the Northf He aUtt-
ded in a most forcible way to the "bril
liant Statesman of Illinois," mention
ed by Mr.'King of Mo., who had pre
ceded hitn t ahd impressed upon the
Northern Democracy that he had rejec
ted Kansas from the Union because
she ohose to foraf her domestio institu
tions in her own way; and when she
again applied with ft free State constitu
tion; and in. violation of one of the
conditions contained in the English
Bill, to wit: that she should comprise
the requisite number of population,
she was admitted with only three of tho
Northern Democrats voting in the neg
ative. Now we came as a United South
representing the Demooratio States, in
to the Convention and ask their Nor
thern brethren to give in the platform
a clear explicit and unequivocal declar
ation of those principles in which are
involved the honor the interests and
the rights of our section; and the North
with almost equal unanimity, refuse
their request. And why? Because
they were afraid to meet the freesoil
sentiment at home. They tell us of the
South that if the resolutions reported
by the majority be adopted, not a Nor
thern State oould be carried for the
Democratic candidate, tbuj making
our rights subservient to party expedien
cy. No, says he, our rights are above
party. ;
He was frequently applauded most
enthusiastically. 8ome Dougins man
requested that these interruptions be
not repeated, when a gentleman from
Maryland stud if it was desired to sup
press applause, Mr. Yancy must not be
allowed to speak. Senator Pugh, of
Ohio, followed in an" able speech of an
hour and a half in fovor of the minority
report—and at eleven o’clock the Con
vention adjourned.
This morning Senator Bigler, ofPenn.
moved that the three reports or resolu
tions, be re-oommitted with instruc
tions to report within an hour, resolu
tions to the following effect: that Con
gress has no power to legislate upon the
. subject of slavery in the States or Ter
ritories; that citizens of the several
States have the right to go into the Ter
ritories with their property of every de
scription; that a Territorial Legislature
has no right to interfere with or impair
that right, in: any way, and that it 'is
the duty of the Federal Government
. to afford adequate protection to the oit-
. irons of the United States in the enjoy
ment of their property:—and also the
resolutions reported- by the majority
Upon the subjects of the Fadfio rail road,
~ fugitive slave law, tho acquisition
■ of Cuba, Mr. Bigler demanded the
previous question which was .sustained
- A division of the question was called
for, and the vote taken upon the first
part to re-commit, and carried, nearly
all the Southern States voting os a unit
in the affirmative.
A motion to lay the balance of the
mbtiod, containing the instructions on
the table was carried. So the whole
matter was sent book to the Committee
without instructions, and they will re
port the. m a Jonty and minority reports
as before. On motion of Mr. Montgom
ery of Penn., the'committee wore in
structed to report at 4, P.M., to which
time the Convention adjourned. When
the vote to lay on the table the instruc
tions contained in Mr. Bigler’s motion.
Mr. Nelins of Ga., brought before the
Choir the question dividing the Geor
gia delegation, stating that the Con-
vention appointing them had requested
tbnpi to cast the vote of the State
unit. He contended that it was a mat
ter left to their own discretion, and the
' ' request, was not binding as instruc
tions and that the minority wished to
oast their individual votes without be
ing trammelled by the action of the
majority. ‘ W
Hon. Henry B. Jackson replied and
delegation were in fovor of dividing
the vote. Mr. Seward of the First
District, Jading- at the head of them,
Tho Convention met this afternoon
at 4 o’clock, and at . 5 the Commltteq
on Platform through Mv. Avery of N.
C., repoted the resolutions .adopted by
the majority—being the fifteen slave
States together, with California and Ore
gon. It was substantially the same as
the resolution* reported yesterday. Up-
a on the subject of Congressional protec
tion they declarO it to bq “the duty of
the Gbyernmehtiinlillits departments,
to prpteot the rights of oitisens, in per
son and property, when ■ neoessary, in
the Territories and wherever else its ju
risdiction extends." The minority re
port introduced by Mr. Sanders of Iowa
as Chairman was signed by all the free
States except the two mentioned above
and Massachusetts, New Jei-sey, Indi
ana, and Minnesota. It is the same in
troduced yesterday, with the exception
of the second resolution, which now
reads that the Democratic party .will
abide by the decision of the Supreme
Court. A still further minority report
being the Cincinnnti Platform pure and
simple, was admitted by Mr. Butler pf
Mass., as chairman and signed by Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey, Indiana and
Minnesota.
The Convention can never agree—
some States will surely secede. The
Douglas men are firm and confident.—
The South stands united and will not
yield. The Northern men use the two
arguments that non-intervention was
endorsed by all the Domocrat^^tatcs-
mon of the country and that Wly are
doomed to defeat on any other plat
form. The Convention will not ad
journ before tho middlo of next woek,
if they do not break up in a row before
then.
Mr. Stephens of Oregon, and Mr.
Burroughs of Ark., advocated the prin
ciples of the majority report l£r. Buck
of Md., those of the first minority. A
vote will not probubly be had until
Monday, when tho minority report will
be adopted.

NO. 8.
Charleston,* April 28tli., 1800.
After dosing and dispatching my
last communication of this date, I re
turned to the Convention Hall, and
found Mr. Burrough of Ark., still speak
ing. 'He was belaboring the Douglasites
most unmercifully, and in reply to their
argument, that with the nonintervention
platform, they could defeat the Black
Republicans, he said there was little
doubt of tho fact, for that platform
would be about as acceptable to the Re
publicans os their own. At times it was
utterly impossible to hear a word he
said, on account of the noise made by
the Douglas men, by stamping on the
floor, clapping their hands andluugliing.
This was done to silence him. It was
carried to such an extent that a large
body of the Southern men rose from
their Beats and faced the mob—for it
was little else. The Douglas men hero,
being in the majority, have manifested
a disposition to bully the Southern men.
If they do not desire to hear them
speak, they raise such an uproar, with
cries of “order,” “question" &o., that
the Convention is a fit type of punde-
momium.
At the conclusion of Mr. Burroughs’
speeoh the previous question was called
for, which immediately produced great
excitement. The Southern men en
deavored to stave off the vote on the
resolutions until Monday, by motions
to adjourn, to lay on the table, and every
parliamentary strategy that could be us
ed. This lasted nearly two hours, when
the vote was at last taken upon the ques
tion, whether the main question should
be put, which was carried. It was un
derstood on both sides, that if this was
allowed the Convention would adjourn
until Monday morning, which was ac
cordingly done.
At one time during the evening, the
Convention was a scene of greater con
fusion than at any previous period. A
Baltimore riot, or the House of Repre
sentatives could not have been more
disorderly and uproarious. Every one
seemed to be shouting at the top of
their voices at once. Though it is a fact
that could not but be observed that the
Northern men were more clamorous
than any other. The President, the
Hon. Caleb Cushing, at one time rose,
and after nearly wearing out his gavel
aud beating down the desk in front of
him, he stated, that it was physically
felt, and at the conclusion tlje most pro
found silence, and the best order pre
vailed. ’But again they were becoming
as noisy qs ever, when the Convention
adjourned. During the excitement,
various propositions were submitted in
order to calm- the tumult. Among
them was one from Mr. 'Walker, of
Alabama, to the effect that the President
be requested to address the: Convention,
on.the platform, and . the. Convention,
adjourned until Monday morning, for
that purpose. This met With the ap
proval of a large majority of the Con
vention, judging from, the manifesta
tions made; but it being out Of order,
was not entertained. -
The Hon. Caleb Cushing, has won
the esteem and unbounded admiration
of all, for the fdr, able and decided
manner in which he lias discharged his
duties. He sees everything that is go
ing on in the Hall; never forgets What
questions arc first to be considered by
him and is always prompt in his decis'
ions, which have never boon appealed
from. He is a great man and 1 believe
a pure man.
The Douglas men are becoming defi
ant and independent. Tho Alabama 1
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
some (1 hope all) the Georgia Democra
cy remain calm and quiet, but firm and
determined to have the full measure of
our rights, or quit the Convention. The
latter they must do, and are now con
vinced of it. S.

he would, as a duty to the Convention
as well as to himself, feel bound to re

plauded him loudly. He conoluded by
stating that it certainly ought to be ex'
pected that such on honorable body,
composed of men of wisdom, of age, of
experienoeand position, men who had
met to deoide questions involving our
dearest rights, should deliberate with

The President’s Letter.
The following is a copy of President
Buchanan’s celebrated letter to Robert
J. Walker, Esq., when Governor of
Kansas. It was brought out by tho ex
amination of Mr. Walker and Mr.
E. B. Schnabel, before the Covodo
investigating committee in Wednes
day :
Washington, July 12,1857.
My Dear Hir:—1 duly received your
letter ot the 28lh ult., on Friday last,
and read it to the Cabinet, then in ses
sion. The views which it contained
were not calculated to assure us of your
success, though we did not despond.—
Hence you may judge with what satis
faction we received an account of the
proceedings of the National Democratic
Convention, held at I.ecompton on the
3d inst. Tho point on which your own
sucoess depends is the submission of the
Constitution to the people of Kansas,
and by the people I mean, and I have
no doubt you mean, the actual bona fide
residents, who have been long enough
in the Territory to identify themselves
with its fate. The Legislature deter
mined three months os the period of
'esidence to entitle individuals to vote
for members of the couvention, and if
the convention should think proper to
adopt the sums period to entitle individ
uals to voto for or against the Constitu
tion, it appears to mo this would be
reasonable. On tho question of sub
mitting the constitution to the bona fide
resideuts of Kansas, I am willing to
stand or full. It is tho principle of the
Kunsas-Nebrasku bill, tiie principle of
populur sovereignty, und the principle
at the foundation uf all populur govern
ment. The more it is discussed the
stronger it will become. Should the
couvention of Kansus adopt this princi
ple, all will be settled harmoniously,
and, with the blessing of Providence,
you will return 'triirtnphantly from your
arduous, important and responsible sta
tion. Tho strictures of the Georgia
und Mississippi conventions will then
pass away, aud be speedily forgot
ten.
In regard to Georgia, our news from
that State is becoming better every day.
We have not yet had time to hear
much from Mississippi. Should you
answer the resolution of the latter, 1
would advise you to make the great
principle of the submission of the con
stitution to tho bona fide residents of
Kansus conspicuously prominent. On
this you will be irresistible. With the
question of climate every person is ac
quainted, aud the moro you insist upon
this, the more will our opponents urge
that we are-violating tho principle of
non-interference at the foundation of
the'Kansas and Nebraska bill. It is
strange that people at a distance, who
have no practical acquaintance with the
condition of Kansus, should undertake
to be wisor than thoso ou tho spot. It
is beyond all question the true policy to
build up a great demooratio party there
to maintain the constitution and tiie
laws, composed of pro-slavery and lie
State democrats, aud if the majority
should be against slavery, to obtain
such constitutional provisions as will
secure tho rights of slaveholders in
Missouri and other States, and maintain
all the laws guarding the just rights of
the South.
You are right in your conjecture as to
the cause of Judge Williams’appoint
ment. We supposed it Would be pecu
liarly acceptable to yourself, and that
he might aid in carrying out your pol-
ioy.
Col. Cumming has been appointed
Governor of Utah. This will cause his
place to be vacant after the brief period
required for settling up his business,
ana I certainly shall be disposed to
fill it by the appointment of Mr. Ste
vens.
Gen. Harney has been ordered to
command the expedition to Utah, but
wo muBt continue to have him with you,
at least until you are out of tho woods
Kansas is vastly more important at the
present moment-than Utah. Tho pres
sure upon mo continues without inter
cession I pray that Divino Providence,
in whioh 1 place my trust, may gracious
ly preserve my life and my health until
the end of my term. But God’s will bo
done, in any event.
' With every sentiment of esteem,
remain always sincerely your friend.
