NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL
‘ , UNION CONVENTION.
First Day, Wednesday.
Baltimore, May 9.—The Nationnl
’Constitutionul Union Convention, for
the purjloso of nominating candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
assembled in Baltimore on Wednesnay,
9th ihtt., and with treat unanimity per
fected its organization and prepared for
the consideration of the important busi
ness to come Before it. The attendance
of delegates was large and general from
all parts of the-country, and the roll
contains names that have always meri
ted and will oontinuO to attract the con
fidence and voneration of tho unparti
san sontiment of tho people. o
The-greatest enthusiasm prevailed,
and the delegations os they entered tho
hall were greeted with applause. Tho
Horn, Jehu: J. Crittenden, and General
Leslie Coombs, of Kentuoky, wero loud
ly-cheered as they entered, and were
evidently much pleased with their cor-
diai reception.
The Convention camo to order at the
call of the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, whose
presence was greeted wlth great ap-
S lause, imd organized by calling the
Lon. Washington Hunt, of Now York
to the ohair who was subsequently elec
ted permanent President, with a list of
Vice Presidents from each of the
States represented. Mr. Hunt's ad
dress, on taking the ehair was excellent
in sentiment and received with con
tinued expressions of approval and aty
plausp, i i
, The President addressed the Cohven-
tion-ns follows: ‘
Gentlemen of ihe Convention: 1 thank,
you for this unexpected manifestation
of your kindness to m6. It fills my
-^-breast With emotions which render me
utterly incapable of uttering my feel
ings of gratitude. The being called
upon to preside over such an assemblage
as this, embracing so many gentlemen
eminent for public service, for patriot
ism, for high intelligence, for public
. and domestic
tranquility? [Applause.] These dif-
pea
. nity 1 .■
ferences that estrange un'ib divide tiie
people of this country should not pre
vent us from going forward to discharge
the great work of self-government, and
to encounter all tho responsibility rela
tive to those great interests which are
national, which aro commercial, and
which we all hold in common; which
are ready to sustain and defend in com
mon, and which possess the strongest
claim upon our loyalty, patriotism, and
allegiance to the Constitution and the
Union, which we have received from
the hands of our patriotic ancestors.—

few,days ago, having ocopsion to
visit one of the Western States of tho
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
conneots tho North, and South, and
which by nature’s organic law has de
clared that wo are to bo one. As I floa
ted, upon the placid bosom of tho Fa
ther of Wnters.in my reflections I could
not but think and feel that, since the
bonefioience of. creative power has giv
en us such a bond of union, intended to
carry civilization, prosperity and hap
piness to a kindred people, from it3
mouth to its sourco, how vain, how pre
posterous is the folly of man, wliich
would soperato those whom God hath
' ‘ Igothcr. [Applause.[

seems of those who would divide the

We cpnae here as the representatives
of the independent States of the Union
^-States lyhich.liaye united their doc
trines together forgreat arid npblo piir-
poses. But, gentlemen, we will not dis
miss the fact that wo come from States
widely Beperated by distinpe, seperated.
'perhaps* to some extent, by .ditferenee
of institutions, clime, and social organi
zation, ahd that our Union, embraces
two classes and sections of States, which
are, sometimes, at this modern day,
plbced in an attitude of antagonism
and hostility to each other, t mean
the poculiar differences which exist in
the social and democratic organizations
Tjiere are those who would magnify
and exaggerate these differences to such
a degree that the people shall no lou-
ger regard themselves as friends and
brothel's. Yes, there are such in both
sections of this glorious Union of ours.
I grieve to say it. There are men in
this country who will organize strife in
to a system, tut God forbid that the
people of. this broad land either North
or South, or any where else, should give
their sanction or approval to tbo.se who
would kindle, thoso fires of domostio
discord and'sectional strife.
' Oh the'other hand, there is a class of
people", North ahd South, (I rqjoico to
see them represented hero to duy,) who
dhsirb to put away these causes of con
tention, arid who feel arid understand
and know that our government and
Constitution Wore not intended to eri-
nder these an tagoriisms and distrusts
itweon sections, but to promote peace
and harmony and unity between these
members ot the confederation. [Ap
plause.] Thertf are those, (I am ono of
them gentlemen,) who would if possi
ble, bring back the public mind of tho
country to the consideration of thoso
grjat arid harmonious principles on
which we can all stand together—one
and inseparable. [Applause.] Be it
our port, however, to promate arid dj&
fuse a spirit Of broad and generous na
tional feeling of forbearonoo and mode
ration. So far as the broad question is
concerned, which has been made the
bane of our politics, it has furnished to
a class of politicians tlio fiercest ele
ments of strife and discord. But lei us
remember, that Horn our positions, dif
ferences of educations, of surroundings
of habit, of social interest, and domes
tic construction of soeioty, tliero will
still be certain shades of difference. It
was always so. It was so'from tho be-
S ginning; but did that prevent the greet
of tho Republic from coming to
rn to form a oystom of political
om and of solf-govornmeut which
shall enable us to moveoir as ^o»e ^im-
sault, ancMo cultivate amongst our-
rota.
under one flag; wo ttand upon national
ground; representing the interests? ofa
great continent which Providence has
entrusted to our charge; and 1 believe ’
tlio people will yet pi;ovo themselves
equal to the destiny which lias been
given them, and hand it over, one har
monious nation, to thoso who are. to
come after us. [Applause.]
I am detaining you too long, gentle-
mcn, for 1 have no thought of making
a second speech. In conclusion, 1 will
only repeat the sentiment I expressed
on a former occasion—that is, that our
deliberations and proceedings may ho
characterized by harmony, by decorum,
and by dignity, and that no disturbing
element may come ik I trust we shall
not be very much embarrassed in the
construction of a plutform. [Laughter
and applause.] We ought not to en
deavor strongly to establish uniformity
of opinion on a question which-we'all
know and understand—a question that
every man will at least think and feel
according to his own judgment. Wo
liavo, not come here to contest the
difference between the various distinc
tions and the shadowy forms of popular
sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction
which have for some time been present
ed, and occupied so largo a part of the
attention of Congress and of the coun-'
try. This is not the question which we
have come to settle, and I do not think
wo can settle it, if we would. I prefer
to leave them oil where the Constitution
has left them—[applause]—leaving
every State in the full enjoyment of its
own rights and its own independence.
All we ask, gentlemen, (I 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 affairs according to
your own will and pleasure. On the
other hand, we propose to do precisely
tho same thing for ourselves. [Ap
plause.] » - -.. V- t vi .!
Wo do not intend to burden our con
sciences with your offences, neither do
wo want you to burden yours with ours,
but let each and every part answer for
itself. That is tho sontiment which
ought to pervade, and Which, I trust,
will onco more pervade, the psople of
this country. A spirit of generous da-,
liberation will then once more become
tlio order of the day, and I think I see
signs that such is to become tho perva
ding epii'it—a spirit that has been going
on ever since the repeal of tho Missouri
Compromise. I trust tho time has come
when tho peoplo will not be disposed to
eneourogo their representatives, in
either section, in hurling infective and
roproaoli u;-on tho 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 and deliberate upon
those great measures which concern tho
welfare and prosperity of the country at
large, North or South, East or West.
[Applause.] Once more I invoke tho
spirit of harmony and union to preside
over our deliberations, relying upon
your kind aid and co-operation to ena
ble mo to discharge the duties which it
lias been your pleasure to dovolvo upon
mo. [Applause.] i&jjjSBfnll
