The call for a response from Sooth Carolina was deafen’ ing; but before either of tbe gentlemen could reply, a Dele gate from Missouri, whoso name is not known, arose, and objected to South Carolina's being beard before llie vole ol Missouri was cast.

Tbi* courteous and dignified course seemed to gratify the Con vention; and as each State declined, the response of bet Delegate was greeted with tbo loudest demonstrations ol pleasure. Mr. Pickens arose, and returned his grateful acknowledg ments, in glowing terms, for the high b inor done bis Stan nnd himself, and for tbe manner the Convention had iuvi ted and received him and bis colleague. He said they f< an 1 it impossible to ri slst so warm and generous, so kind a call as that pressed upon them. He stated that the posi tion of South Carolina prevented himself and his colleague from taking tbeir seats as Delegates, or voting in its delib e rations; while they were there, by the advice of friends in whose judgment they reposed confidence, to say to the Democratic Republican party, in case they presented a candidate true to the principles of the Constitution and the partv, what would.in all human probability, be tbe course of tbeir Stale.

Mr. Pickens here paid a jnst tribute to the taleuis, firmness, and patriotism, of Mr. Van Rureu, during his Presidency. He then sketched ably the great questions in issue, and contrasted with power and eloquence the leading poinla of difference between tbe Whig party and our own. He ex pressed the most perfect confidence of success, and mused and animated tbo party for new efforts. He declared him self for Oregon and Texas.

Loud calls were then heard from every quarter of the Hall, of "Elmore! 1 ' "Elmore!” which were increased and wisely ceded away. It is a part of the {treat Valley of the Mississippi, directly connected by its navigable waters with the Mississippi river, and having once been a part of our Uuion. it should never have been dismembered from it. The Government and people of Texas, it is understood, not only rive their consent but are anxiously desirous to be re united to the United Slates. If the app.ication of Texas for a re-union and admission into our confederacy shall be rejected bv the United States, there is imminent danger thi t she will become a dependency, if not a Colony of Great Britain—an event which no American patriot, anxious for tha safety and prosperity of this country could permit to oc cur without the most st-eouous resistance. Let Texas be re annexed, and the authorlyand laws of the United States be established and maintained within her limits, as also in the Oregon Territory, and let the fixed policy of our Gov ernment be, not to permit Great Britain, or any other for eign power, to plant a colony or bold dominion over any portion of the people or territory of either. These are my opinions, and without deeming'it to be necessary to extend «bis > letter, by assigning tbe many reasons which influence me in tie conclusions to which I came, I regret to be com pelled to differ so widely from the views expressed by your selves, and the meeting of citizens of Cincinnati whom you •represent.

POLK. To Messrs. 3. P. Chase, Thomas Heaton, 4c., Com- 'mittea, Cincinnati. Tha Democratic Platform. Tbe following declaration of principles, presented by the Hon. B. F. Built r. Chairman of the Committee on resolu tions. was unanimously adopted by die Baltimore Con vention. Resolved, That tho American Democracy place their trust not in facti-ious symbols, not in displays and rppeals insulting to the judgments and subx-ersive' to the intellect of ll.« people, but in a clear reliance upon the intelligence, the pitnotitro.and the discriminating justice of the American manes. Revolted. That we regard thia as a distinctive feature of cur political creed, whicti we are proud to maintain before . the world as a great moral element in a form of Govern ment springing from, and upheld by, the popular will, and we eoutrast it with the creed and practice of Federalism, •ui der whatever name or form, which seeks to palsy tte will of the constituent, and which conceives no impusture too monstrous for the ponalar credulity. Resolved, therefore. That, entertaining these views, , tno Democratic party of this Union, thiough tbeir delegates assembled in a general Convention of the States, coming to- {-ether in a spirit of concord, of devotion to tbe doctrines and laitb of a free representative Government, and appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of tbeir intentions, re new, and re-t-sseri before the American people, the declara tion of principles avowed by them, when on a former occa sion, in General Convention, they presented tbeir candidates •far the popular suffrages:— 1. That the Federal Government is one of limited pom- < ers. derived so’ely from the & nstitur'oi, and the grants of power shown therein oogl.t to be strictly construed by all 'the departments and agents of the Government, and tliat it 4a inexpedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful constitu tionalpowers. S. That the Constitution does nut confer upon the Gener al Government the power to commence and carry on a gen eral system of internal improvements. A That the Constitution does not confer anthority npon the Federal Government, directly or indirectly, to assume •the debts of the several States, contracted for local internal improvements, or other State purposes; nor would such as sumption be ju t and expedient. ^t.nc wut uo in portion of the South, lias cl anged the old order of things, ui-cess ot our^grt-ai , Tin:'question immediately bef ire the Conference, and side crying, “yes. w hidt brought up the whole subject in review, was that of the Rev. Frnm-is A. Harding, a travelling preacher in the State uf Maryland, who appealed from the decision of the Baltimore Annual Coe foie nee, suspending him from the Miuislry for a year, or until he should mannnrit certain slaves, which, as it was alleged, belonged lo him. The circumstances under which Mr. Harding became the owner ol'alaves, were these. In February last, lie married a lady, a icsiJent of the State of Maryland, who owned five slaves, demised by the parents of the wife;—and he was charged with having thus become connected with slavery, and consequently disqual lied as a D uniting preacher, ac- c irdtng to the iulesof discipline. He was therefore re quired to execute a deed of manumission immediately, or give a pledge that he would do so during the ensuing con ference year. He refused to do this on the ground that the laws of Maryland gave the right of property to the wile in- depei dent of himself, and that he had no control over them and could not manumit them ; and that as they required an impossibility he could not comply. Even if this were not s >. it is contended that he is sustained by the rule of discip line of the church, which states that the mere fart of holding sla' es does tint disqualify ; that he is only required to man umit them when lie can do so legally, and that in this ease tie could not, because he c-uld not remove them without their own cousent. and the laws of Maryland do not allow slaves to be manumitted and remain in the tftate. The question, therefore, was. wheihcr the Baltimore Conference had a right to suspend a preacher who had viu lated the rules of the Conlerenre upon the question of slavery, bm not the discipline of the church. A motion was made by a delegate from Virginia to re verse tbe decision, which was lost by a vote of 117 to 56— tbe whole of tt e Northern and Eastern, and many of the Southern, delegates voting against the motion fur reversal. jThe President, Bishop Morris of Maryland, decided that tbe vote affirmed the decision of the conference. It is a little remarkable that tbe case should have been brought up from a slave State, and have been carried on by ihe Maryland Conference with so much spirit. This cir cumstance probably contributed much to induce the Con ference to reverse their hitherto conservative course, aud take a stand against slavery. The Baptist Church, at their triennial Convention held at Philadelphia a fortnight since, was agitate! in the satin- way. The result ot their deliberations was to lay tbe whole subject on the table without action. Tbe larger part of ihe Methodists, we are inclined to be lieve, are lound in the Middle and Southern States; and in the latter, the subject is looked upou there with more feeling than in any other section of country. Tbe Richmond Com piler, in concluding an article on this subject, says, -If ever this [Methodist] Conference should become involved as party in this agitation, tbe death-knell of this confederacy would be sounded.’’ Several memorials have been presented to the Confer ence on the sufyect of slavery from tbe Northern and East era States, asking, among other things, that the membe-tl shall not be allowed to bold slaves. These have been refer red to Committees. Some doubt exists as to whether these committees will report on the subject at all. Whether they do so or not. tbe excitement on the subject will no doubt be very great in tbe Conference. From the N. Y. Sun. Extra. A RKIYAI, OF TII li CALEDOIVM steamship Caledonia, Cnpt.

But, we are happy to find, even in deeply the kindness extended by the Convention to him and his e -lleague as the Representative of a State wliich was ever deepest in his heart. That he was literally over- oowered, and unable to say more than that fce was pro foundly grateful. He said, that this call bad come from a quarter that could not be resisted. In the war that bad Liven South Carolina her liberty, Maryland litd come to her reseoe at her greatest need, and in many a bard fought field, the best blood of her noblest sons had mingled upon her soil with that of the most devoted of her own. We have, said he. too many recollections to be grateful to her. to stand bark now, when the “Mary land Line” calls South Carolina to her rescue. She wheels into position, side by side with her sister, and charges with tbe noble son. (Gen. Howard,) in this second war of deliverance, as she with tbe gallant father charged at Cowpen—will fight together, as oor eires fought at.Camden and Eutaw ; and while we thus, in part discharge the debt, we return, said he. our most grateful acknowledgments for the services we can never iorget or fully repay. We come, too, said the gentleman, led forward by the "Mothet of States,” and by one of those of her own honored patriots, (Judge Roane.) whose very name is identified with all the struggles of liberty. We cannot resist—wc are here—here in the midst of you. to answerfor tbe Palmetto Stain asfar as our powers go. Mr. E. continued. His colleague bad adverted to tbe views of South Carolina and themselves, in regard to tbe organization of the Convention. Th*y were such as pre eluded them from taking their testa, from voting or partici- patingin its proceedings farther than to respond as they bad d >ne, a hearty amen to what the Convention had done to far. That especially in tbe selection of their candidate, she had no cause lo complain. He bad long known the gentleman selected. It bad been one ol the pleasing events uf bis life, that he was selected to offer at the close of bis then Con gressional existence, in 1839, the resolution of thanks from tbe House of Representatives, for his ability, and honorable discharge of the duties of Speaker. He knew him lo be a true Republican, of pure morals, of sterling pai-musn-, in juttico and sound policy forbid the Federal f.vor of immediate annexation of Texas, and worthy of th- Qovernaaaot to foster one branch of industry to the detn- high destiny opened to him, and be had no doubt hi.

The editor of the Advertiser, though absent in body, a thousand miles off. pays us tbe compliment .if desiring to commune with us, through the columns of bis newspaper— and has accordingly sent a series of questions, to which he desites our attention. They refer to the tariff vote in Con press, and the course of those Northern Democrats who vo ted to defeat the new tariff bill, and keep the Whig tariff ol 1842 in ferre. He certainly has a right to be pleased at the issue, for it is a great Whig measure savtd. He has a right, moteover. to taunt the Southern Democrats with the defection of so tnanv of their allies, at a critical point, in the struggle to overthrow nn iniquitous system. He may et joy the tri- umph, for it is sore mortification and disappointment tons, But neither he nor any other has a right to use the fact of a partial defection in the North, to discourage Southern Dem ocrats from continued exertions lo strengthen the anti tariff cause here as well as in the North, with the hope > f early success. It is emphatically a Southern cause, and as cm- pliatically it relics upon the alliance nnd aid of Northern Demo rats ordv for surcess. No Narthern Whig votes on the anti-protective side nt all, and never before were there so many Northern Democrats in its favor. It has failed, as Mr. Chappell of Georgia shews in the paper we publish to- day.beceute the Whigs of tbe South have abandoned the Southern principles and gone over in a body to the sideol tbeir Northern allies, the manufacturers and monopolist*.

Mr. Walker enjoyed bis discomfiture. Gov. Fairfield, ol Maine, then stepped forward, and in the name of the Dele gation, solved the mystery in a brief speech. Mr. Dallas having by tb.s time collected bimself, made a short speech in reply. Mr. Walker and several of the Delegates then spoke, af ter which they gave 26 cheers for Folk, Dallas, Muhlenberg an I Texas. Cheer after cheer were then given for the nomination, which effectually wakened not only the family, but all tbe neighborhood, tbe street being by that time alive with a crowd of anxious inquirers The facts were soon known, and when the delegation departed, three cheers greeted them as they went.

Lynn Boyd, of Ken tucky, now says about the Bargain and Sale of 1823. he once spoke differently, that gentleman responds as follows: A Card. House or Representatives. May 23,1844. Messrs. Gales 4 Seaton—Whilst the lite efforts to traduce my pubic character weie confined to profligate newspapers. 1 have suffered them to pass ummiiced; but when an attempt is n ade t-> give them force and poi. t by such cards as that in your paper of this mr.-ning. over the signature of Hun. W. P. Tbomassoti, it is incumbent on n.e no longer to be silent. In a speech made in the House ot Representatives, on the 30ib of last monili, in reply to Hon. Mr. White, relative to the course of Mr. Clay and others in the Presidential election of 1824-b. after presenting the history of tbe case, I used, in substance, the following tan guage.viz: “Sir, although impartial men may believe, as I do myself, that there was no technical bargain entered into between Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, in their own proper persons, yet it does seem to me that no one, free from prejudice, can carefully examine the circumstances and evidence in the cise. withnuttbe most thorough conviction that it was un derstood by the parlies that Mr-Clay's appointment to the office of Secretary nf Slate would result from the election ol Mr. Adams to the Presidency; that ihe vote of Kentucky was cast for Mr. Adams with that view, and for the further object of promoting Mr. Clay’s prospects for lire Presidency, in utter disregard of the will of that Slate. And in this, the most favorable view of tbe transaction, it merited the condemnation it has received at tbe hinds of the American people.” Since the developments of the fact* in the history of this affair in the Presidential contest in 1828, I have never en tertained, and therefore could not have expressed, any o- oinionS inconsistent with the sentiments here given; and he who asserts the rontrary wholly misunderstands, or wil fully misrepresents me. The public will tegard all those efforts to gel up a col lateral issue irilh me as designed for the single purpose of enabling Mr. C'av to escape just responsibility through the dust and ftnnke thusattempied tube raised. Hut the pen- pie are not to be diverted from giving due attention to the conduct of Clay by newspaper attacks upon me, however imposingly backed, nur by any statements made with the object of affecting my veracity nnd character, which his tools in Kentucky may have the hardihood to fabricate. Respectfully, your obedient servant.
