The tleman was requested to take his seat until the journal should be read. EXTENSION OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. Mraoe inquired whether or not, under the rules adopted yesterday, Members of Congress in the city are entitled to seats on the floor. Mr. Frovrnoy, of Georgia—I hope there will be no distinction of that sort. They can take their seats in the galleries. [Applause ] The Par The rules do not so provide. Mr. Mranr—I move, then, that members of Congress and alternates in attendance, be admitted to tho floor. Mr. Kerrixweit—I move to include the delegates to the Maryland State Convention. Mr. Cameton—I move that Mr. Dunwoodie, of Fran- klin county, Pennsylvania, a revolutionary soldier, be admitted. I think this is a privileged question. A seat should be provided for the old soldier. Mr. Mrave. modified his resolution to suit the views of Messrs. Kettlowell and Cameron. Frournoy—I am opposed to it. TLEWELL, after a few words of explanation, resolution that commissioners be appointed to examine the gallery, to ascertain whether it would be safe to admit persons to 8 there. [It will be recol- lected that the timbers started yesterday. ] r advised Mr, Meade to withdraw his The Prest resolution. Mr. Fiournoy arose. The Presioxnr—I will permit no member to proceed until order bo restored. Mr. FLourwoy—I oppose any invidious distinction between members of Congress and the people. [Ap- plause.] I would be glad if tho galleries were crowded, and that we were so situated thet all could hear the deliberations of this body. Mr. Meanr—Members of the House of Reprosonta- tives are admitted to the Senate, and Senators to the House. Mr, Frovrxov—What is done in either branch, is not always democratic. [Applause.] ‘The resolution was laid on the table. REVOLUTIONARY sopDIERS. Mr Camrnon now moved that the old revolutionary soldier be admitted to a seat. Mr. Humruneys—I move that he be admitted by acclamation, [“Agreed."’] A gentleman suggested that all revolution soldiers be admitted. Mr. Wetts, of N. H., expressed his desire and hope that this would be done. ‘The motion of Mr. Cameron was agreed to. Mr. Bicas, of North Carolina, offered a resolution, which was laid over for the present, to admit both sets of delegates from New York. HEARING OF THE NEW YORK Cas Mr. Dicxixsow, on the part of the Hunkers, took his stand; and, after a few preliminary observations, he said that it was for the convention to decide which were the true. and which the spurious delegates; both cannot be right—both cannot be wrong. He proceeded to show that they (the Hunkers) were the true repre- sentatives from the State of New York: and remarked that neither this, nor any cther convention, could go on until the question be settled. The domocracy of New York had been torn long enough by conflicting leaders; and it was now time that the right be declared, and the wrong repudiated. It is only the unuatural mother who would consent that her child should be severed in two, as he remarked yesterday. in alluding to the judgment of Solomon, He vindicated the pledge by the Hunker delegation, to the Committee on jentiala, to support the nominees, Would to God every democrat would submit to the same doctrine. [Applause.] An electoral ticket is already in the fleld in the Empire State, pledged to support the nomina- tions of this convention, ‘The pledge is only assailed on some principie of transcendentalism, with which he ‘was not well versed. Mr. Dickinson gave. history of the convention called to revise the constitution, and an account of the squabbles between the Hunkers and Barnburners. ‘The first breach in the democratic party was evidenced on the 20th of September, 1847, at Her- kimer, where gentlemen met to form their political principles, and consult as to fature action. He was proceeding with his remarks, when he was reminded that his hour had expired. Mr, Kaurax—Mr. President, the gentleman ean go on, as two hours are allowed, by resolution, to each set of delegates. The Presipest remarked that he was aware of this, re existed between the two parties, desired simply to say, on the part of the delogates of the Utica Convention, that they not only consent, but wish the gentleman to proceed. Mr. Ree did not see what the convention had to do with the matter. Mr. Tipe made a few remarks from the stand, with regard to the New York city circular. NICK NAMESEXPLANATION OF THE TERMS OF BARN- SAND HUNKERS, James C, Sarr, (Barnburner) alluded to the ing part of Mr. Dickinson's address, in relation to the democracy had accomplished. He might, said ith, have adverted to the fact that the demo- ‘ew York assisted im tho passage of the sub- treasury law, and the tariff act of 1846. He could not tell why Mr, Dickinson did not refer to those, unloss it be that the measures were opposed by the whigs and conservati (Laughter) As to the unfortunate nick names: we are called the Barnburners. the others the Hunkers. Ido not know in what nner- the names originat it is diffeuit to tell. 1 have been told, however. that they originated in this way, In 1842, we had a bill before the Legislature of New York to lay taxes on the people to raise money to pay the public debt, the/stockjhaving depreciated some twenty two per cent under par. Many of the contractors saw that if the bill passed, the public works would be sus- pended, and they appealed to the party called conser- vative there, but Hunkers here, and besought the ra- dicals not to pass it, because the whigs would get the offices, But the radicals, as they were called, were a unined that the credit of the State should be main- tained. So one of the contractors, a humorous gen- tleman, said: “These menare incendiaries ; they are mad ; ave like the farmer who, to get the rats out of his gravary, sot fire to his own barn.” (Laughter.) Well, we burnt the barn, and the rats did leave the granary. Hence the name of Barnburners. We have nothing to do with the anti-renters, nor any disor- ‘s, but we are the friends of order. We have ainst patronage and place for the last ten y Ido nof kuow whether there ix any dishonor attached to the term Hunkers, but I belleve it is chi racteristic of them to get all they can, and to ke get.

' Mr. Swivit explained the legitimate call and forma- tion of the Utica convention, The legislative caucus calling it was composed of 52 out of the 74 democratic members, Both sides were represented, and those oc- oupying the neutral ground. He called attention to the proceedings of this caucus, and to the proofs of its | recognition by the Syracuse majority, in extracts, ah he read, from the 4lbany .irgus. The legisla- tive caucus had nothing to do with the Herkimer con- called the Herkimer and Utica delegation, This is not so, The one party desired the convention at Herkimer on the 14th of February, and the other at Syracuse at a later day. ‘The legisiative caucus, con- sulting upon a compromise, selected Utica as a middle ground, and also a time intermediate between the two nated by the two purties. In this conneetion, Mr. Smith read certain extracts from the Albany Argus, approving the action of the legislati caucus, as putting a final exting: mer abortion.” At the Utica Convention, there were 118 out of the 128 delegates Fequired, and all but three counties were represented. This is our title—this is our title. Every step of the Syracuse adherents, from that day to this, has been disorganizing and despotic. THE PRRIUDICES OF THE SOUTH. One word regarding the prejudices of the South, The other pi mt in ‘this contest have appealed to these pre- judic e have made no such appeal.

We outs of.gpeinterference with the domestic rights of the States, and in these rights of the constitution none will be found more faithful than the sontinels on the watch-towers of the Empire State. [Applause.] THE WILMOT PROVISO. But while we are thus steadfastly firm upon, the rights of the States, we are also uncompromisingly in favor of the federal ‘ordinance of 1787, extended over the north-western territory, penned by Thomas Jeffer- son, the great apostle of democracy. If we are to be rejected, we will be rejected upon the principles of ‘Thomas Jefferson. At all events, 1 beseech you, gen- tlemen of the Convention, to decide with justice and according to truth upon our claims; and if we are re- jected, state boldly, oxplicitly, and distinctly and dis- tinctly the grounds upon which you reject us, We may be rejected from this hall; but we shall not go out subdued, or with anything like a feeling that we are conquered, Our banner will still be held aloft and flying, and emblazoned upon its broad folds will be our motto: “ The principles of Jefferson dear to our hearts, now and for ever.” HUNKER. Mr. Foster, on the stand, said he did not come hero to appeal to the passions of the members of the Con- vention, nor to bandy epithets with those to whom he and his friends are opposed. He left epithets to those who have no better arguments; he would make no sec- tional appeals. He proceeded to speak of the prelimi- nary arrangements for nominating officers, in towns, districts, and the State, and gave a history of what took place in the Syracuse Convention. In the midst of the proceedings of the last day, and before the con- test for two of the last seats was decided, the gentle- man who just addressed this Convention introduced a resolution asserting the principle of the Wilmot proviso, But it was laid upon the table—for what had a Convention, collected to nominate State officers, to do with a subject of a national character. Mr. Fos- ter cared not whether he was called Hunker or Conser- vative, so long as he moved with the masses and brought power nearer to the people, instead of removing it far- ther from them. ‘The ticket nominated was hoisted at the head of the democratic press, ‘The .Jtlas even had it. This ticket they (the Barnburners) say was founded in fraud; but it was never struck at all. [A volee—‘Is the .2tlas the organ of the Barnburners ?") Yes, it is the leading or- gan, at Albany; and the ticket was at the head of that tnd all the democratieepapers. (“Except the St, Law. rence Republican.” Another voice, “And the Repub- eat Buffalo.” Can any gentleman point to another? (A voice from the Barnburners, “Three in all.) Only three ina hundred democratic papers. And yet it is said that the Convention was characterized by fraud. And gentlemen who submit to no pledges, went away indulging the idea that the democrats were defrauded out of their rights; and while the democratic papers put at their mast-heads the result of the “fraud,” they organized indirectly to defeat the ticket. I could point to half adozen now ptesent, of our opponents, who took part in the Syracuse Convention, Some of those who participated in the Syracuse, Herkimer, and Utica Conventions aro now here, (the Barnburners.) The gentleman who preceded me wasin aljthroe; he may not have been at Utica, but somieYof them were in all. They discarded the Herkimer Conven- ion, as 9 paragraph in tho Albany witlas shows, Their proceedings were in defiance of the laws and usages of the democratic party. While our country was at war, instead of coming together with strong hands and arms for the great battle with our domestic opponents, they departed not only from the usages, but the principles of the party. There never has been but sonvention like the meeting at Herkimer. During war with Great Britain, there was a party in the national legislature, who blocked the wheels of govern- ment, and there was a secrot session. [At Hartford.) The only difference between them is, that the conven- tion at Herkimer unblushingly proclaimed their sen- timents to the world, and invited persons to join their standard, In the other, we were not able to see the treason as it arose. Mr. Foster read from a speech of John Van Buren, to show his spirit of opposition to the proceedings of the Syracuse Convention, and that of his associates. Mr. Van Buren said, among other things, that he would not vote for the Syracuse ticket, because it emanated in fraud and was not regu- and because he was opposed to the exten- sion of slavery to territory which was now free. And when they talk about the Missouri compro- mise, do they talk about the line of thirty- six, as connected with it? Not at all. They talk about a line as far south as the utmost limits. You need not send us back. We cannot agree. We have an electoral ticket, selocted on tho 27th of January last. and they have pledged themselves to abide by the nomination of this National Convention. Send us back. and what shall we do? What will be the result ? There will be two electoral ‘tickets. There will be certain defeat in New York, and the contro- versy imbittered, the end of which no man can sec.— You cannot ask us to go to them. ‘Their platform ix too narrow Weeanuot stand upon it. {tis not national platform.

Mr. Foster remarked that one was in the spring be- fore the election, and the other after the election. DARNBURNERS—THE: WILMOT PROVISO.

This question should be dismissed with the arguments already heard. [will address you on an issue by which we are to be admitted Or excluded. It is a question of principle.

He appealed for conciliation between the North and the South Obstinacy in extreme opinions will be our mutual destruction. ‘I hope that day to the democracy has not yet come; I as the Old Guard will not be driven from this house. By our past acts we stand pledged to support the nominees of this Con- vention. [Applause.] 1, for one, stand pledged to the support of the succoss of the democratic party. [Ap- pluuse.)

(Order! order! goon! speak out! order! Gentlemen will come to order !] Mr. Camprecenc at length resumed. I trust that time will never arrive when the democracy of the North and of tho South shall be divided; but should it ever arrive, the democracy of New York will stand to their principles. But we'do not fear that. We leave the question to your hands, and trust that the demo- eracy will be now as they have ever been, when they have been united and that is united and victorious. e.

Mr. Yancey said that when the report from the Committee was presented yesterday, and after the re- marks of the gentleman from Connecticut (Gov. Toucey), he felt satisfied that we, a voluntary assem- bly of the democracy, had no right to sit upon the claims of any of the delegations sent to this convention; but after the evidence upon this contested case this morning, he desired to offer « resolution, to wit Resolved, by the National Democratic Convention, that be- tween the claims of the respective delegations from York, the members of the Syracuse Convention be admitted, as regularly constituted members of this Convention, The Cnarm.—It is not in order. before the house. Mr. Yancry.—I then make a motion that the report and amendments Le taken up, and upon this subject I have a word to #ay. ‘The Cuain.—Tho gentloman is not now in order. Mr. Yani I move then to take up the report. A motion to adjourn was here proposed and lost. Report taken up. MR, YANCEY MEETS THE 188UK. Mr. Yaxcry, with some preliminary remarks be- tween him and the Chair, stated his opinions of yes- terday, that we had no right to sit here in judgment on the rights of cithor of the two delegations to seats in this Conyention; that after the debate to day, his opinions had undergone a change. He had supposed there were coxflicting deloga- tions; but ho now believed there was but one delegation here, ‘There was s gentleman, however, from Herkimer (Mr. King) who this morning has made atest of a great principle. Upon that test I take him at his word. No men, proclaiming such a principle here, can be democrats ; they must be factious conspi- rators or whigs in disguise (Hiss-os-s-s). If the gentle- man who hisses me has not brains enough to express himself intelligibly, he had better go out into the barn- yard. [Hiss-s8-a6-as]. No, sir. you shall not hiss me down. [Order! order!]. ‘The gentleman to my right hisses, aud if he desires i; 1 shall point him out. [Or- der !] If the gentleman cun make himself understood, if he has intellect enough for that, he can be heard when 1 have finished ; he has the right to speak; but I don’t undorstand a hiss. (The chair peremptorily called the gentleman to order ; Mr. Yancey apologized to the chair and proceeded.} 'As a voluntary assem- blage, I said that we had noright to apply a test to de- legates to tais Convention ; but when gentlemen put their claims upon a principle, we kaow what to do. Equality is the basis of democracy. The principle proclaimed this morning strikes at the very root’ o this political equality, and the gentleman desires to be tried upon this issue. ° Mr Kixe—The gentleman tx under a mistake, I said that I was satisfied our title would be decided on oar opposing principles. Mr. Yancxy understood the gentleman. ‘These gen- tlemen have proglaimed a principle which they dignity by the name of the white man’s resolution. ‘They say they will go out with this motto inscribed upon their That principle strikes at the root of political It shuts us of the South out of all new terri- is U This is The report is not ©, of N. H., (Mr. Yancoy giving way.)—I wouid ask the gentleman, does he believe that Congress has the power to establish slavery in a free territory? (Order. order. T hope this question will not be discussed It ought never to have been introduced. Yancey—As the question is put to me upon ple, I will cheerfully answer it. The govern- ment of the United States has no right to establish slavery on a single inch of any of the territories of the Union. CApplause,) We do not look to the acquisi- tion of territory with the view to extend slavery over it. (Applause.] It is a slander upon the intelligent people of the South. [Applause.] We advocate the acquisition of territory for indemnity, for the exten- sion of our institutions and civilization, and for the paspose of opening a home to the oppresssd of all other lands. {Applause.} But, sir, to every new territory of the United States, we hold that while the citizens of New York have the right to go there with their pro- perty, the citizens of Alabama have the same right to go there with their property. The territory is the common roperty of the Union, and the citizens of all the States ave a common right in it. Neither the citizens of the South, in a territory, nor the citizens of the North, can establish a supreme law, that will impair that politi cal equality. But when the territory has a sufficient population to be carried into a State, then as a State, the people may establish or abolish slavery. Alabama may abolish slavery to-morrow. New York may estab- lish slavery to-morrow, They have tho right, for they are supreme. But the false principle iy at open war with this doctrine of equality. It cannot be democratic, for it has been adopted by the whigs, and it has been adopted by the abolitionists. They have made it their corner-stone. And if, genclemen, it is your corner- stone, how, in God's name, do you differ from the whigs or the abolitionists? You may abandon the tariff. the sub-treasury; but you cannot abandon your r-stone. If that bo xo, there is but one democratic ation here from New York. I, therefore, with- draw my amendment of yesterday; and upon the roso- lution which has been read, I ask the previous question. Mr. Steetx, of New Hampshire, (one of the Vice Presidents on the stand.) arose, aiid cries of “ Ques- tion,question,” “ Order. order,’? “ Take your seat,” ete.

Mr. King made other remarks of similar tenor, in the course of which he said that Jefferson penned the Wil- mot proviso, and that Mr, Wilmot took it from the or. dinance of 1787, Mr. Dootrt rie, afterafew preliminary remarks, said he and his colleagues could not pledge the demacracy of New York; they were not theic representatives, as yet,in the Convention, They have resolved. on theit honor as men, the integrity of New York, the rights principle on which they come into the Convention is that of « liberty, equality, and fraternity.” They declare, by the Eternal, whose Dlessings have been invoked, and to whom they ap- peal for their sincerity and the strength of their re- solves, that they will not bow down and worship the xulden-fmage, though they be thrown into the furnace, heated seven times hotter than usual.

The Syracuse Convention was callod contrary to the usages of the party, (“Not so.” © You misap- prehend.”) ‘The Paxsioext—Come to order. A Duraare from the Hunkers—Ho’s wrong in point of fact." Mr. Tomson said that he was sorry to misrepre- sent, if he did, This was not the time to sever the great democratic party of the State of New York. His only object was to protest kindly, and in a spirit of liberality towards the South, against turning the gen- tlemen out on the principle assumed by the gentleman from Alabama, In conclusion he offered an amend- ment, to refer the question of the two conflicting sets of delegates back to the democracy of Now York, without prejudice to either party. Mr, Stnanoe, of North Carolina, said that his State was whig by a small majority, unfortunately, but pre- sent appearances foreshadowed that it would not long so continue. [Applause.] She had not, like New York. thirty-six electoral votes, but she had eleven, band these were of some consequence. [Applause] He spoke in defence of the report of the Committeo on Credentials, who recommended the admission of the nyse itis not politic ? 1 believein politics, as between delogates of the se Convention. How is this matter to be tried? ‘They had but one question to ask. Do you believe in the first article of the democratic faith—a submission to the will of the majority? One set of delegates answered yea, and the other refused How is it when a man comes into a church to partake of the communion, and there are doubts concerning his opinions? The minister puts the question, “Do you believe in tho Lord Jesus Christ ?” "An answer deter- mines whether or not the minister shall admit him to the privilege. The Barnburners have placed them- selves in a position which the South cannot sanction. They have said that which cannot bo taken: back.— ‘Their votes would be ruin to the man who should get their votos, If the Convention do admit them, the democrats must pray God that thoy may not get their votes. Whenever the slave question shall be forced upon the Southern pedffic, they will maintain their position at all hazards. ‘The question was one of life and death to them. ‘They have no choice. ‘They are obliged to maintain it. Mr. Strange made an allusion to Mr. Yancey’s re- marks, which called up that gentleman in explanation, Messrs. Preston King, Mr. Dickinson, and Mr. Bayley, said a fow words as to who introduced the Wilmot pro- viso as.atest. Nobody hurt; no explosions. Mr. Straxcr deprecated tha fact that tho Utica Convention bad brought up this subject tobe intor- mingled in national questions MF. Camnnetenc remarked, that the Utiea Conven- tion disclaimed that. {Applause.] Mr. Strancr resumod—If there was any party hon- est, it was the whig party. We seo they have an al liance with the abolitionists and with all other he sies, If they have any principles, I dont know what they are, but opposition to the democracy. «They get all they can and keep all they can,” as way this morn- ing said of the Hunkers, and therefore the Hunkers should turn over the motto to the whigs [laughter], After somo further remarks, he said that the democra- cy were like the early Christians : “He whe is not with us is against us.’” The devil claims all who do not be- long the Almighty. ‘There were two reasons on which the Barnburners can be excluded, viz: they would not agree to the pledge to support the nominee, and they would not agree to abide by democratic usnges. If the report of the Committee on Conference cannot be de- fended on that ground, it can be on no other. The question to be decided is, what Is the boxt course to pursue? It is best to receive the Hunkers. North Ca- rolina will stand by the decision of the Convention. Squabbling took place for the floor, which was as- signed to Mr. Haywecay, who ascended the platform. Questions of order were raised and disposed of, whon the question bofore the Convention was read. Mr. Bricir—Will the gantlemun yield the floor? Mr. Hayxvcay—The gentleman from Tennessee ap- plied to me to yield the floor. I declined to doit; and I can yield to no other without personal offence to him. (Go on.) [rose simply for the purpose of moving the previous question. Mr. Texxey—I ingiire whether 1 am not entitled to the floor? Mr. Haxwecax—If I had yielded the floor to any one, I should have given it to a gentleman who differed with me. Mr. Turss:y—I wish to make an explanation. Mr. Haxxxcax—lI will yield if you don’t deprive me of the floor. (Go on.) Mr. Tunxxy—I was a member of the Committee on Credentials. Four or five of the majority have been heard, and not one member of the minority has had the floor, (Hear him. Question, question.) ¢ Presiprnr—I do not know that the gentleman from Tennessee was on the committee, as the Commit. tee was not apptinted by me, but by Shairman be- fore I took the seat. Therefore I could not have been influenced by improper motivos. Mr. Hannegan appeared to be displeased, in conse- quence of the frequent interruptions, and was about to leave the stand, when he was encouraged to “Go y—-I hope a gag will not be put upon me. (Go on.) ple: Hawnncax—So far I have made use of kind words, ry Mr, Tunxsy—Have I said unkind words? Mr Haxwrcax—You said you hoped that I would not put the gag upon you. Mr. Tuxser—I ‘said I hoped the Convention would not. Mr. Hanxxcax—I beg your pardon. 1 yield the floor to the gentleman. Mr. Senator Horxixs L. Turney rose next to the discussion of the question. He was one of the Commit- teo on Credentials, He had objected to the test ap- plied to the New York delegations in eommittee. It had no right to establish itselt as a high priest. But the merits of these respective delegations would have to be met. Disguise it as we may we shall have to meet it. And the question has now assumod another form. It is this, whether a man can bo an advocate of the Wilmot proviso, and yet he eligible to this Conven- tion? If all are excladed who are in favor of that pro- viso, what is to become of the Keystone State? She has passed resolutions in its support, and by an unani- mous vote. Shall we turn them all out? If #0, from whom do you expect the choice of your nominees, from whom do you expect their election? But it is said you must exclude the Barnburners any how. But they do not desire to be admitted—that they have so declared. (No, sir,” “No, sir.""] If this be their objeot, | would disappoint them.

It will mie part of the contest over the whole Union, I can elect our nominees without the sid of New York, Yea, sir. withont any aid from New York But I desire the disposition of this question, so aa to fence up and confine this political small pox to the State of New York. ‘There is but one way to dec! this question—admit both the i both, [would not cast into the h weapon for our i i would without admitt 1 would fot discharge either, without discharging both, I would make such a deci, | sion'as would disappoint the common enemy.

Telegraphic. THE FOURTH DAY OF THE CONVENTION. Baxtimonr, May 25, 1848. The Convention met at 9 o'clock this morning; and, after the usual preliminary business of reading the minutes of previous proceedings, &e. &c., commenced deliberations on the vexed question now before it.

Polk, an follows LETTER OF PRESIDENT POLK. Wasuinaton, May 18, 1848. Dean Sin From speculations which have appeared in the pub- Ke journals, and from frequent enquiries which have been made of me by many political friends, some of them delegates to the National Democratic Conve tion which will assemble at Baltimore on the 22d inst. I am induced to suppose it may be the desire of some of my friends to propose my re-nomination as the ci didate of the democratic party for the office of Presi- dent of the United States. Should you ascertain that such is the intention of any of the delegates, I desire, through you, to communicate to the Convention that Tam not a candidate for the nomination; and that any use of my name with that view, which may be contemplated, is without any agency or desire on my part. ‘Tho purpose declared in my letter of the 12th of June, 1844, in accepting the nomination tendered to me by. the Democratic National Convention of that year, remains unchanged, and to relieve the Conven- tion from any possible embarrassment which the sug- gestion of my name might produce in making free selection of a successor who may be best caleulated to give effect to their will, and guard all the interests of your beloved country, I deem it proper to reiterate the sentiments contained in that letter. Since my election, I have often expressed the de- sire, which I still feel, to retire to private life, at the close of my present term. I entertain the confident hope and belief, that wy democratic friends of the Co vention will unite in the harmonious nomination of some citizen to succeed me, who, if elected, will firmly maintain and carry out the great political principles embodied in the resolutions adopted by the Democratic National Convention of 1884—principles which it has been the earnest endeavor, and the constant alm of my administragion to preserve and pursue; and upon the observath which, in my opinion, mainly de- pends the i: and prominent welfare of our country. On reviewing the history of my administra- tion, and the remarkable events, foreign and domestic, which have attended it, if it shall be the judgment of my countrymen that I have adhered to these principles: and faithfully performed my duty, the measure of my ambition is full; and [am amply compensated for all th labors, cares, and anxieties, whieh are inseparable fr the high station which I have been called to fill. I shall ever cherish sentiments of deep gratitu my fellow-citizens, for the confidence they repor: me, inelecting me to the most distinguished av sponsible public trust on earth. It is scarcely nec: sary that I should add, that it will be no less my duty, than it will be my sincere pleasure, as a citizen, to unite with my democratic friends in the support of the nominees of the Convention for the office of President and Vice President of the United States.
