Hr. Grayson, of Pennsylvania, said s
Hr. President and gentlemen of the
Convention—I wish to speak my indi
vidual opinion, and not utter one word
as the mouth-piece of the delegation
from Pennsylvania. ■ When I came
here, sir, I came with the expectation
that we had an infinitely more im
portant work to do than to nominate
a candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. I tako it, sir, that we
are about to initiate a great conservative
national party. [Applause.] And, sir,
whether wo are successful to-day or
next year, or in the next quarter of cen
tury, I for one wish it* to be understood,
that when this party of ours shall tri
umph, it shall triumph, not upon men,
but upon principle.,' : [Applause.] I
am here not for any nomination. 1
know, sir, that the Constitutional Union
party embraces within its ranks a host
of men, either one of’whom would dig
nify and do.honor to the high office of
ehief magistrate of the United States.
[Applause.] But, sir, in these political
days upon which we have fallen (and
they are'days of trouble and distrust,)
I tell you that whatever may'be the
antecedents of any statesman, I would
not, looking to the doubtftil future,
trust him, unless 'he pqta himself upon
a definite platform. [Applause.] Iam
here, sir, with my whole heart swelling
within me with but one feeling, anu
thpt is a feeling for the Constitution and
the Union. [Applause.]
Hr. Littell, of Pennsylvania, hoped
that the resolution of his colleague
would not be. laid on the table. He
thought we all had sufficient time to
consult as to the character, standing
and fitness of the distinguished states
man who had been mentioned in con
nection with the nomination. What
further do we want to know of that dis
tinguished man, John Bell, of Tennes
see f [Cheers.] He has been before
the country for a quarter of a century.
We all know him, and the country
knows him. He has been tried in high
positions, both by his State and the
Union—his record is clear and unmis
takable, without a stain or blemish to
be discovered by his bitterest political
opponent. With such a man we want
no platform. He has stood through
life a defender of the Constitution as it
is, and of theUnion as one and indivis
ible. He, 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 one
single word that I may utter that har
monious sentiment which I should wish
to see pervade and animate the councils
of this most patriotic Convention.—
But, sir, we are standing in a very pecu
liar and very perilous position. We aro
arrayed as a party of peace—as a party
whose mission it is to save the country
from the rash strife of the enemies of
the Union and the Constitution on the
North and on the South. [Applause.]
Now, sir, in order that we go into this
contest, (which is to be a most stirring
and important one for the destinies of
this nation in all time to oome,) wc
should define our position as a party,
and, in order to do that, we should as
certain and understand precisely, sir,
the attitude'whioh is occupied by the
two great and formidable organisations
which it is our duty and destiny to op
pose in the coming campaign. What is
the position occupied to-day by the Re
publican and the Democratic party on

visit last night to the Massachusetts del
egation, and a nobler satof men I have

moment. She asks for time.. She will be
views, slid that my views were tl
views. I could not find one point of
difference between us. All we nanfc
was the Union as it is, and the Constitu
tion and the laws. I therefore came to
the conclusion that'we should remain
for a little time to consult together, and
all will be well. * ;
1 tell you, sir, that there is an upris-
goftho people, North, South, East
and'Vfcst, and we are delegated here to
perform no ordinary duty. Let us do
nothing with undue haste, and our ac
tion hero will be such os cannot fail to
perpetuate infinitely those institutions,
which by fanaticism, have been so re
peatedly endangered. Let the subject
of a Platform be referred to a committee.
[Voice, “Wewantno platform.’'] Well,
let the question berefered and let the
committee consider the subject, and re
port that we want no platform, if such
is the will of the Convention. I want
sneh a committee to oome together and
consult, and become better acquainted
with each other. In the meantime, he
hoped that his propositions to postpone
the balloting for President and Vice-
President until noon to-morrow, would
be adopted.
Hr. Switzler, of Hissouri, was about
to speak, when the Chair announced
that the delegation from Texas were at
the door of the building and desired
admittance. »
This announcement was received with
deafening applause, and the delegation
proceeded to the Secretaries desk and
presented tbeircredentials. The Chair
man of. the delegation, A. B. Norton,
wore a' beard reaohing nearly to his
waist, which attracted great attention,
—whereupon—
General Leslie Coombs rose, and
thought it proper to account to the
Convention for the extraordinary hairy,
appearance of the gentlemen from Tex
as. Some fifteen years ago he had made
a vow thot he never would out his beard
until Henry Clay was eleoted President
of the United States—and it will be
perceived he has most religiously kept
his vow. [Vociferous applause.]
Hr. Switzler, of Missouri, tnen pro
ceeded. j He said that he spoke as the
representative of a State which hod been
overridden for the last 25 years by po
litical demagogues. The question now
was platform or no platform, qpd he
would say in this connection that the
Missouri delegation stood twoipr and
twelve against adopting any platform.
The people of Missouri wanted no bet
ter platform than the Constitution and
the Union. He was not opposed to dis
cussing matters relating to the public
welfare, but this question of platform
was disgraced before the country* The
people considered them mere humbugs,
designed only to catch voters. As, for
instance, what was the Cincinnati plat
form ? [A voice, “nothing.”] It was, in
his opinion, like a piece of gul ta percha.
[A voice, “India rubber.”] It was Dupa
ble of being cut and put together again.
In conclusion, he would remark that
he hoped the Convention would not*
peril the success of the present move
ment by adopting any platform; but
tako the Constitution and the Union,
and with that go before the country.
[Apple - sj.)
The Hon. Thos. Swann, who on taking
the floor, was greeted with great ap
Norlhalfd South, and 1 am satisfied, air,,
from the intimations that have been
given here to-day, that we shall be able
to present a man without a platform—a
man that he can trust upon his antece
dents/and upon the position which he
occupies before the country. One who
possesses .that spirit which has been de
parted from by those who are now in
power, and which will give confidence
to our country, both North and.South,
East and West. [Applause.]
Mr. Hopkins, of Georgia, desired to
say a few words on this question of plat
forms, and he would in so doing, de
tain the Convention bnt a few minutes.
He would suggest a platform in a very
few words. He represented the first
distriot of Georgia, and he was instruc
ted, by such men as Judge Lord, and by
consultation with the most intelligent
citizens in his section of State, to de
mand a platform. After sounding pub-
lio opinion in Georgia, he bad . consul
ted with citizens of North Carolina, and
they had perfectly coincided with him;
not only that we should have a platform
but we agreed in all its planks. They
thought that there would be no difficul
ty in giving the South a platform—a
platform that three millions of voters
could stand upon, without regard to
the section of country in which they
reside. That platform was the record
of the Hero of San Jacinto, General
Sam Houston. [Applause.] I ask gen
tlemen from Kentucky, from Indiana,
fromTenneesee, if he is not the man for
the times ? Other distinguished gentle
men have bean named, but they are the
representatives of a defunct party—of
the old Whig party. We cannot rally
men to the support of a candidate who
has been resuscitated from a dead body.
We want a live man, who, like General
Harrison, tfill lead us to triumph.
We tried the gallant Henry Clay, but
notwithstanding his brilliant civio ser
vice to the country, we were doomed to
defeat We then tried General Taylor,
a candidate who was not known to the
country, except for his brilliant service
on the battle field, and he led us on to a
brilliant victory. We now want a man
of military renown. |Cries of no. nolj
I submit it to Kentucky, to Indiana, to
the South 7 I appeal to tho North, for
he has fought the battles of our com
mon country, and although you may
oppose him because you * have other
more favorite candidates, you must ad

With the hero of Buena Vista we drove
the Democracy from their strongholds,
and with the hero of San Jacinto a sinii-
the other side ? It is useless for us to plause: I arise, Mr. President, for the

great National Convention at Washing

volves nothing more nor less than the
interpretation and i meaning of the

that question is this: Whether or hot

der the Constitution, has or has not a
right to legislate in regard to the sub
ject 6f ' slavery in* the Territories f—
[Hisses.]. I am hot goingto introduce
this at all; . [Laughter.] what I mean
by that. Hr. Chairman, is this, that we
may avoid thiB whole difficulty simply
by enunciating, before we go into a
nomination of candidates, a plain plat
form of principles whioh shall leave
totally, oat pf view this distracting ques
tion. [Applause.] I want to shut jhat
question entirely out of this coming
contest, in so far os the Constitutional
Uniou party is concerned; and I trust
that, before we appoint a committee for
the purpose of going into a nomination
of a candidate tor the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, we should, either in
general Convention, or by a Select Com
mittee appointed for the purpose, de
clare that we are for the Union and the
Constitution, as. interpreted by the Su-
8 rerue Court of the United States, and

Mr. N. G. Pendleton, of Ohio, offered
the following amendment to timfoaolu-
tion, striking out all after the word re
solve, and inserting— '
Resolved, That the delegations from
each Stole be requested to appoint one
of their number to constitute a Central
Committee, and that eaeh person thus
nominated shall bring to that Committee
the general opinon of his delegation.
Mr. Brosier, of Pennsylvania, asked
the reading of the resolution of Mr.
Shippen, and on its .being read, stated
that he would preface his motion with
the remark that he was desirous of cos
ting the vote of his distriot on this floor,
ana not to vote by States in making a
nomination. He therefore proposed an
amendment: That .we should immedi
ately proceed to nominate candidates
for President and Vioe-Preaident, with
out the intervention of any committee.
Hr. Watson of Mississippi, thought
the best course to pursue was “to moke
haste slowly." He would ’ therefore
piopOso that we resolve to proceed to
ballot at ton o’clock to-morrow. All we
want is to be better acquainted with
«Mh other before we proceed to busi
ness. Down where I live wo have been

Hon. Erastus Brooks oft the New
Ycfrk delegation, said: Mr. President
—The discussion of the questions,aither
of men or of platforms, even to tne ex
tent already indulged in, is premature
and unfortunate I think 1 may be per

State of New York—with one heart
and one voice, thot they have resolved
to ask this Convention to present ho

weary of these disputes. Gentlemen
will at times difl’er in regard to the pow
ers of Congress, and in regard to the
judicial interpretation even of the Con
stitution of the United States, but we
owe it to ourselves as good citizens to
submit to the law.an d abide by it. [Ap^
plause.) I am proud to say this is the
voice of the Empire State.
There are five propositions before the
Convention. Obviously two or three of
them are out of order. For tho time,
at least, all, I hope will be withdrawn, in
order that 1 may submit a motion which
will be convenient to the Convention,,
and which Is that until otherwise au
thorized, tho rules and regulation of
the House of Representatives be tho
rules for the government of this body.
(Applause.)
The several resolutions were then
withdrawn by the movers, and the ques
tion was taken on Mr. Brooks’ motion
to adopt the rules of the Honse of Rep
resentatives, so far as the may bo appli
cable, for the government of .the Con
vention.
A committee of one from each State
was then appointed to prepare business
for the Conventions, after which it ad-,
journed till Thursday.
The Business Committee was in ses
sion at the Eutaw House until eleven
o’clock at night.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that whereas Platforms of principles
were only calculated to deceive the peo
ple, the Convention will not put forth
any one, in accordance with the usages
of the parties heretofore, but that the
people of the Union can have no better
guarantee than a pledge to support the
Constitution and enforce the laws.
The proceedings of the Committee
were marked by great harmony, and its
notion entirely in accordance with the
speech of Mr. Brooks, of New York,
made during the afternoon session.
In relation .to veting for the nominee
for the Presidency, it was resolved that
each States delegation should decide

shall be cast.
gates from the different StateB of this
great Union, and she believes the time
is near at fiad when this Convention will
be able to agree upon sneh a platform
that shall give confidence to this whole
count! y. [Applause.] Hr. President,
gentlemen nave talked about platforms.
We have a great deal to say upon the
subject of platforms, if that question is
opened up; but, sir, for myself, (with
out meaning to represent the senti
ment of those with whom I am associ
ated here,) T say, sir, that when the dis
tinguished men who inaugurated this
Convention appeared upon that plat
form to-day, [applause,] that was plut-
form enough for the State of Maryland.
[Immense appluase.] Show us the man,
and we will tell you his platform. Wo
want men who stand upon the Consti
tution and tho execution of the laws.—
[Applause.] We want no other plat
form here, [applause] so far as the lit
tle State of Maryland is concerned. [Ap
plause.]
Mr. President, we are here at a most
important period of our political .history
It cannot be denied, sir, that for months
post a feeling of distrust and growing
restlessness as to our political future has
taken strong hold upon the minds of
the people of this country. The ques
tion is asked, “How long is this state of
things to continue? Js this glorious
Union really in danger ?” We are here
in a period of calm to take our reckon
ing, and ascertain how far the old ship
of State has drifted from its true course
—to estimate the dangers through
which we have passed, and by whioh
we are now surrounded, and to calcu
late the chances that lie before us in the
future. If we wish to.give confidence
to the people of this country, I say, re
presenting, os I believe, the voice of the
State of Maryland, that we should re
pudiate all platforms but the Constitu
tion. (Applause.) Now, sir, from the
distinguished names that have been pre
sented to the consideration of the State
of Maryland, we are prepared, in a
spirit of compromise, to make a judici
ous selection. We are here for the
purpose of repudiating all ultraism,
both North and South.
There are goed .men, constitutional
men, end national men in the North as
well as the South, and we are not to
be intimidated in tbeohoice which shall
make by that cry whioh is raised by the
Democratic party whenever a geptlo-
man is presented who ma/hs supposed
to affiliate with Northern sentiments.—
We desire to stand upon * conservative
platform, and wo say, when you repudi
ate (.he Supremo Court of the United
States, and its decision, we ore at sea,
and we might as wall return and go
homo to our constituents. {Applause.]
enforcement of the law. [Applause.]
And on that platform, interpreted by
the constituted authorities of the land,
we feel that we can meet our brethren*
South and North, East and West, with a
proper spirit. This course will also
promise a degree of success before tho
people which - shall establish the fact;
that neither the .extreme party of the
North or South shall longer administer
the affairs of this country. [Applause.)
. Sir, let gentlemen remember Jiow
brief the age of this party of whioh we
have the honor to be representatives.—
It is hardly half a year old, and in that
brief period it is represented hero to
day by nearly every State of onr Ameri
can Union. [Applause.] It is wise-to
learn, os long us we may live under xne
? ;ovorninept, under one Constitution,
and with one destiny in view we must -
learn,) to be tolerant and just towards
each other. (Applause.) That justice
and union and concord better become
the people of a Government like this
than any platform which any party Con
vention can inaugurate. (Applause.)—
There is anotherjevent which experience
has demonstrated, and that is, that your
party platforms are meant to deceive
the peiople of the country, for they hpve
their Northern face and their Southern
face. They have one set of gentlemen
to interpret them in one section, and
another class in a different section.—
There must be some tribunal to which
we can all recur, and let that tribunal
be the laws of the Iqnd os constituted
and interpreted by its highest judioial
authority. (Applause.)
We 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 whioh has been expressed here to
day, that it is necessary, whatever we
may do, to do it in decency and in order;
and whether it is proposed to adopt a
platform of one or three lines, it is
proper that a committee, representing
every State in the Union,, should take
whatever propositions may have been
prepared and present them, as the voioe
of all the States, to this National Con
vention. (Applause.) When suoh
committee shall report, whether it be
from the thirty-three or thirty States,
that report will be unanimous. I am
sure that it will not only meet your hear
ty concurrence, but be assented to by
those whom yon represent. Then we
shall go on conquering and to conquer.
We have, in my own State, a conser
vative class, who are in favor of the fugi
tive slave law, and in tavor of the Con
stitution of the United States'. Then
we have another olass of men who fol
low in the wake of these. They are for
preaching, as the great architect of the
party preached at Cleveland, for a high
er law than than the Constitution of
the United States. I am tired and
STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN
TION.
To the Democratic Voters of the State
of Georgia.
The result of the National Democrat
ic Convention at Charleston lias been
mode known to you. So far there has
been a failure, eithef. to agree upon a
Platform of Principles, or to make a
nomination of Candidates. A majority
of the delegates having withdrawn from
the Convention, recommed a new set
of delegates to meet the delegates from
other Southern States at Richmond Va.
for the purpose of consultation, and. a
portion of the delegates propose to send
a delegation immediately to the ad
journed Convention at Baltimore.—
These conflicting Views may be partici
pated ioi to some extent, by the peo
ple. There may be other views enter
tained by some portions of the party ip
this State. Ana uv the opinion of the
undersigned these seemingly conflicting
views con only be .reconciled and ' set
tled by a full .Convention of the party;
and. such a Convention seems to . us to
be absolutely necessary. *
Therefore the undersigned, Executive
Committee/request the.Deinooratic par
ty of the Stato of Georgia to meet in
Convention, by their delegates, at Mill-
edgeville, Oh Monday the 4th day of
June next, for the purpose -of deter
mining upon what course of policy
should be pursued by them in the pres
ent emergency. The several counties
