majority of the ivholenumberofvotea cast,. 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 Shoe With this deterftiination', 1 paid u visit last night to the Massachusetts del egation, and a nobler satof men I have not met with lately. We also compared views on the exciting topics of the day- willing to-morrow'morning,after she has and 1 found that their views were, my had an interchange with her brethren, with this view I feel boanA'to s.\v tlmt the State of Haryland is not prepared to go into a nomination at the present 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 mit bis higii claims to tho nomination. 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 shut' our eyes to the fact that the only purpose of seconding the motion‘of the issue that has engrossed the whole at tention of the people of the United gentleman who has just spoken. [Ap- is here States, in so far " as* they have acted to-day, sir, prepared to make a nominn- through their Legislatures and their tion. She nos woloomod, sir, thexjele- great National Convention at Washing ton, IS one single question which in volves nothing more nor less than the interpretation and i meaning of the Constitution of the United States; and that question is this: Whether or hot the Congress of the United States, un 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 16 enforcement of tho laws. [Ap- plausa.l 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 BO long abusing Massachusetts and Mas sachusetts has been so long nbusing us that I thought when I arrived in Balti- mon I would like to ascertain for J apif what kind of men Ahere were i dqjyn East. [Laughter.! In aooo lar victory may be obtained- With such a platform ns I have proposed I would go back and tell the planters of Georgia thoUKnm Houston is the platform on which I stand—and I would do so con fident iff success, so far as tho vote of that State was concerned. 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 mitted to say, for thirty-five delegates, »nd for their thirty-five alternatives— seventy men upon this floor from the State of New York—with one heart and one voice, thot they have resolved to ask this Convention to present ho plause.] The State of Maryland 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 for itself the mode * in which its vote 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 to be entitled to the number' of dele gates that has been customary in such Conventions.
