Bautimone, June 1, 1852, Whe Meeting of the Democratic Convention---The Prospect-- The Divisions and Sub-Divisions of the Party. ‘The Democratic National Convention was assembled to- day in the hall of the Maryland Institute, under a salute of heavy artillery. For three days, including Sunday, (there are no Sunday's in revolutionary times), thers had been a moile of caucusing among the several deloga- tions at the hotels, and counting of noses, and arranging of committee men, and debating among the cliques, and betting and bidding upon the Presidential candid tes ‘Whe “ noise and confusion” have been utterly without pre. cedent, and utterly incxplicable. The Compromise mea- sures of 1850, having thrown the old organization of tho party into wreck and disorder, nothing better could be ex- pected, in the gathering together of the various fragments and factions, than disorder. confusion, and.embarrassment- unprecedented in the history of the “unterrified demo- eracy.”” They may be considered, however. as assembling under the following divisions and sub-divisions of sections and tactions:— 1.—The old bunker democracy, or old fogios, of the North, in-support of all the old measures aud principles of the party, including all the Compromise measures, 2.—The Darnburners, a little fishy upon several ques- tions, and cpecially upon the Fugitive Slave law, if pushed too. close to the wall, $.—Young America, opposed to old men. old fogies, old principles, and in favor of new men, young fogies, new ‘measures, and new principles, including the great mea- sure of the extension of the area of the republic ix every direction, and the great principle of intervention in every quarter of the world, wherever the causo of liberty may demand it. The mass of this branch of the democracy are from the Northwest. 4.—The old hunker, or old fozy, democracy of the South, from Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, ko. 6.—The secessionists, or Southern rights’ party, of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi. &c. 6,—The Southern Union purty of the slave States. These again may be subdivided into high tariff, low tariff. and no tariff men—river and harbor improvement men, and men opposed to the River and Harbor bill; and again subdivided into Cass men, Buchanau men, Marcy men, Douglas men, &c.—the Bourbons and the revolu- tionists—those for a restoration, thuse for reconstruction, and thoee for destruction at all hazards. The work of harmonizing all these elements is a job of some magnitude. Prima facie, it appears to be impossible But it will be done. There is nothing, scarcely, impossible with the “cohesive power of the public plunder.’” Mag- nified to fifty millions a year. it is a bond of union aad harmony strong enough to suspend even an active re- volution. Its power is just equal to four times the power of fifty millions of dollars. Who can resist—what man or what faction can resist a power like this? ‘The demo- cracy. are united for the purpose of dividing the spoils, and the whigs will unite to hold them fast. Prominent in the convention, to-day, were such men as Henry A. Wise, of Virginia; Preston King, of New York; Yulee, of ‘Florida; nteul, of Massachusotts; ‘Thompson, of Mi ; and Montgomery Biair, of Mis- souri, all cheek by jowl in the common cause, Mr. Hallett, of “Massachusetts, announced the party motto te be “the union of the democracy throughout the Union, for the preservation of the Union ;” but the old motto of Gov. Marcy is more to the purpose—* to the victors belong the spoils.” The appointnent of Romulus M. Saunders, of North Carolina, late Minister to Spain, is said to be a Buchanan movement. Saunders, at all events, is the man who, in conjunction with Robert J, Walker, in ‘44, succecded in throwing Van Buren overboard, and in nominating Mr. Polk. A tremendous outside pressure is operating in favor of Douglas. The impression gains ground among the dele- “ that he will be the nominee, in spite of all that can done to prevent it. A variety of causes are operating in favor of Douglas. 8t ‘ip men are for Douglas, and «#ome of them are here, e Cuba men, in and out of the convention, ure all for Douglas, because they know he will not stick upon trifles, like Mr. Fillmore, when the libera- tion of Cuba isat stake, A large proportion of extreme Southern menare for Douglas, under the same idea, above all other reasons; and Young America is ‘or him, because he is one of them—is with them, if necessary, even to the liberation of Hungary by an invasion of Russia and Austria, The Buchanan men will fight hard. Failing upon “ Old Buck,” they may possibly make something out of Marcy; but from the shape and compiexion of things to-day, ex traordinary as it may seem, the chances are in favor of Douglas. ‘This is truly a great and glorious country, BY TELEGRAPH, The Democratic National Convention. SECOND Day. Baxtimone, June 2, 1852, THE OPENING—CONFUSION—PRAYER, FTC, The Convention was called to order by the President, at 10 o'clock, when the journal of yesterday was read, the delegates in the meantime pouring into the Hallina perfect stream, and by their motions, together with those of the crowds in the galleries, rendering the proceedings unintelligible, except to those in the immediate vicinity of the Secretary's table. The Rev. Dr. Puumstrr, of the Presbyterian church, delivered an appropriate prayer. TWo NEW YORK DELEGATES IN A PREDICAMENT. ‘A gentloman in the gallery cried out in a loud yoice— “There are two delegates from New York up here, but they can't get tickets to admit them to the floor.” ‘The Presinext replied—The gentleman in the gallery is not in order, I ask the gentleman to report their IN GENTLEMAN Shepard. Mr. Wann.—If they apply at the door, they shall be ad- THe Gattrry.—Messrs, Clark and mitted. Vorwrs Agreed, agreed.” A LEVELLING MOVEMENT, At this point, a voice on the extreme end of the hall ‘was heard saying—~ I want ail the delegates to be on the same level, “Some are on the platform, while others are ‘on the floor, and can’t be seen. 1 therefore move that the convention adjourn until a better arrangement can be flected.” ‘Lhe Parstorvt.—To what time ? The Denrcare replied—Until two o'clock. ‘The question was put and voted down. OUDER OF RUBIN The Presinenr said the first busin calling for reports, THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, ETC. ‘ Mr. Burrow, of Arkansas, offered the following resolu- tions :— Resolved, That a committee of one from each State be ap- Pointed to report the resolutions composing the Baltimore rm. Pihevolved, That the member from cach State on said com- mittee be named by the delegation trom which ho shall be taken, and that said committee havo power to eloct their chairman from their own body or the body of the Conroe, i 0 strike out tho in order was the eon, of New York, mover avord or from cach State,” and insert “two irc esch St Mr. antes, of Mass.. made an explanation in relation to the arra: entsof the hall. and proposed to adimit the delegates in waiting at the door, who had received their tickets, Some time was occupied in seating the delegates, when ‘the President stated the question to beon the imotion of Mr. Charlick, A. V. Brown, of Tennessee, offered the following reso- lution as a substitute — Resolvod, That a committee of ono from each State be ap- winted from each delegation, to whom all resolutions in ation to the crood or democratic platform of the party shall bo referred on presentation. vette In the debate which ensued, Mr. Burrow said that gentlemen must be in hot haste to amend, and suggested that the proposition of the gentioman from Teunessee would cause more debate than the original resolutions which were presented by the delogation from Arkansas, It was not intended to be discussed at this time, but was mercly presented to lic over for the present, and to be taken up for consideration at a future time, the resolution, and the pending amendments, were Jeid upon the table for the presente i) THE GENERAL COMMITTEE, Mr. Bonnkx, of Indiana, offered tho following resolu. tion— wolved, That a committeo of one trom cach State bo inted, to report persons to constitute tho Demoventic jeneral Committeo. ‘The resolution was adopted. EM. Craniick trusted that the States would not be galled until the afternoon soxsion, Mr. Brapiry. of Lowa. after saying that it would be un- just to appoint the committee until afcer the committes ‘on credentials shalt have made their report, moved the HeMent Of the farther consideration of thy subject until to-morrow, and this was d to. § Mr. Prictsrs, of Alabama, offered tho following reso- lutlon:— Whoroas, the goveral acts ed by the Thirty-first Congress, known as the Compromise acts, though re- peived with disfavor by «large portion of the people of the Bouthera and Fouthwestern States, have been aoquicscedia by the people of those States, in termination to $7, "em rather than to hazard the poace and harmony of And, whereas, also. the act passed at the same sossion, as dation of the act of 1793, ro tiv ing from the service part of that seri to the country as am adjust tlement of the slavery agitation, thereforo— ‘That the act horein referred to, and known as th clothed with the brighe well as legal obligation: that the mational democratic party is based upon the equality and perpetuity of the States, and tho por- petuity of their union, It will therefore resiat all measures which tend to impair the one or destroy the other. Mr. Burarrr, of Indiana, requested ‘the secretary to re- port the resolutions from the centre of the room, deeming them sccond in importance to the Union itself. The Presipenr announced that they had a new Secre- tary, Mr. W.D. Wallack. (This gentleman read in such a loud tone as to recive the plaudits of a-darge portion of the convention.) Mr. Prixiirs, with a view of avoiding serious objections, exprerced the hope that the convention would agree to have them printed and made the spegial order for to-mor- row at llo’clock, Cries of “Agreed, agreed," and “Oh, no!" A Dexxoate suggested that this subject should be dis- pored of before the convention was culled upon to select their candidate for the Presidency. ‘The convention then ordered the resolution to lie on the table and be printed, and then referred, to make them the especial order of the day for to morrow. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE La Mr. CHanxick offered the following, viz Resolved, That it is the duty of the Federal Government, £0 fur as ita power extends, to secure to each on of the confe ey the undisturbed eniormens of its constitutional uLenferooment af the a passe Soptomber, 1800, providing for the r clamation of fugitives from labor, indispensably nec sary to the porpctuity of the , that all attorapts to pair its efficacy, or weaken its guarantios, should be disoou! tenaneed and resisted by evory well-wisher of the republic. ‘This was received with an outburst of enthusiasm, was, on motion, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed, THE PLATFORM—THE COMMITTEE FROM PACH STATE, A Y. Brows moved that the resolution of the gent! man from Arkansas, Mr. Burrow, he taken up. It pro- pores to raise a committee of one from each Stute, to re- port the resolutions to compose the democratic platform. ‘Yhere was a necessity for this, As the resolutions are pre: ented, let them be referred without debate. The co: mittee could report on platform, and this could thon be discussed and considered, and made satisfactory to the great demceratic triumphant party. Otherwise, almost every gentleman would come forward with some proposi- t’on, and say, © Here is my platform !”” and want to make aspecch upon it, Thus, instead of one day being thus consyped. one month would be occupicd. Tt was for this reasdlMhe made the motion, Mr. Donnin, of North Carolina, in rising to second the motion, said he desired to construct a plattorm, He wanted to know on what platform they stood, before pro- eveding to the nomination of their candidates. (Ap- plause) Yesterday, he remarked, we had a platform, a matcrial platform, that was constructed before those who were to stand upon it came hither. It was, however, un- derstood to be too small. and had to be enlarged to accom- modate the crowd. Now, I want, not a material platform, but one of principle—not a platform to suit the candi: dates, but one to suit the principles. (Renewed ap- plaure.) ‘The candidate should hold, in one hand tho constitution of our country. sacred and untouched; and in the other hand, the fiag—not of New York, North Carolina, or Florida—but the flag of the glorious Union of the States, (Deafening applause.) I want placed upon the platform a man whe can hold the constitution in one hand. and the fag in the other—the flag of the entire Vaion, s0 that we can enthusiastically rally to his support. We want a strong man to hold the flag steadily, firmly, and manfwily,and never to let it fall. And thus, the great principles of the great democratic party will again triumph. (Renewed applause.) We gofor the rights of the Union, and the Union of the States. If wo nominate any other candidate, we are gone! Let us put our can- didate on this platform. and we must triumph. If the re- solution should be adopted, we can appoint the commit- tee in the afternoon. Mr. Dunnam, of Indiana, said he had been informed that a resolution offered by his colleague, (Jndge Borden.) providing for the appointment of a committee on resolu- tions, had been adopted. and that the motion providing for the appointment of the committee by tho delegations from each State, had been laid on the table. All that wax necestary was. to take up the resolution from the table; and, during the recess, the delegations could con- sult, and report, at the afternoon session, the names of the persons to compose the committee. In the mean- time the resolutions which gentlemen may desire to offer, can be referred to that committee. Mr. Boxes replied that his colleague was laboring un- der a misapprehension, Nomotion to appoint « commit. tee on resolutions had been alopted. His impression was, that the whole subject had been laid on the table for the present; and that the resolution which he had sub- mitted. hud reference only to the appointment of a demo- caatic general committee, It was truo that the time for the appointment of the committee kad been postponed until to-morrow, ‘The resolution of Mr. Burrow, and the pending amend- ments. were then taken up. Mr. Hooxer. of Missixsippi, said it was impossible to d> any business until the Committce on Credentials mad their report. After further unimportant proceedings, among which was an ineffectual motion to adjourn until 3o’cloek, in order to re-arrange the Hall. the question was taken on Mr. Charlick's amendment, to appoint two instead of one delegate from euch State, to report resolutions to com pose the democratic platform, and it was disagreed to. The substitute of Mr. Brown, of Tennessee, for the resolution of Mr. Burrow, was then adopted. _It provides for the appointment of a delegate from cach State. to whom all resolutions in relation to the ereed or plat. form of the democratic party shall be referred. MORE: COMPROMISE. RESOLUTIONS. Mr, Brien submitted the following resolutions, and arked@that they be printed for the use of the Convention, vig. — . Resolved, That the democratic party of the Union, faith- now af in times past, to the compacts of federal tution, regard it as primary duty to abide by the of moasures known as the Compromise, and will depre- te any attempt to impair their efficacy, as tending to n the bonds of our national Union. Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave law being in strict ace cordance to the requirements of the constitution, its con- tinuance and maintenance are demanded as an act of justtco to the States Soap gad of the South, and as a guaranty to all the sections of our beloved country that the comstitu- tional rights of none shall ever be impatred. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES Were next announced as in order, when Mr. Tirorsox, of Mississippi, said it was evident that some of the delega- tions were not prepared to designate their committees, ‘This was the case in which his State stood; and until the Committee on Credentials made thelr report, nothing could be done in this particular. RECESS, PTC. In order that an opportunity might be afforded to the Committee of Arrangements to improve the accommoda- tions for members, the convention took a recess until 5 o'clock. EVEN! SESSION. During the recess a re-arrangement of seats was ef- pede with the view of better accommodating the de- egates, ‘he Presipent called the convention to order at five o'clcck. It was, however, a long time before there was comparative quiet. THE NORTH CAROLINIANS NIFD ADMISSIONS=GREAT cons rusion, Mr. McRa® arose, and complained that members of the delegation from North Carolina had been unable to procure tickets of admission to the hall; and, not onl this. but they have beon insulted—violence has becn of- fered,to their persons, s Mr. Gattaner was understood to ask whether Mr. White had insulted the gentleman, Mr. McRax replied that he made no charge against Mr. White. (Cries of “ Where is Mr, White?—Mr. White!— Mr. White!) Mr. McKay, further stated that bis name was intro- duced, and that he was donied admission. He desired that the Convention take some action in the premises, Crirs, in every part of the hall—‘Question, question.”’ The Presipent assured the gentleman that so far as the chair was concerned, the difficulty should be m: died FXPLANATION OF THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS—CON- GRESSMEN AND LEGISLATORS SHUT OUT. Mr, Hatter, on behalf of the committee charged with making arrangements in the hall, explained the action of the committee, With the desire to afford the necessary accommodation, they wore in session until 12 o'clock last night. They caused tickets to be issued to the delegates, to by distributed by the respective chairmen of the delega- tiors. Mr. White delivered the tickets, for which he took receipts, and it was incumbent on the doorkeeper not to admit nny but those who have tickets. Six hundred and ninely. seats were provided. In conclusion, he moved that members of Congress, and mombers of the Maryland a now in attendance, be admitted to seats he question was taken. and decided in the negative. THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS—=THE DEMOCRATIC PLAT= FORM, ETC, The Convention then proceeded te appoint the com- mittee, ns provided by the resolutions adopted this morn- ing. to whom shall be referred all resolutions in relatioa to the creed, or the platform, of the democratic party, The following gentlemen were selected, constituting one from each state .— Maine—A.

PREY FARM MOVEMENT Mr, no, of New York, offered the following re- solution Rerolved, That in our opinion, the public domain belo to the ‘people of the United States, and that Congres HeereFore, (spon, Of it, for the boneit of tie people. We, therefore, believe, that it would eonduos to the common Welfare of the people, and of the government, to give Kimited Portions to every actual settler, to beinalionably enjoyed. ‘This was reforred to. the ‘Committoc on Resoliitions, without debate, in accordance with the resolution au- thorizing the appointment of a committee, on the de- mocratic creed or platform, THE DEMOCKATIC CREED TO BE ADIUSTED—SrIRITED DERATE ‘ —APEPCH OF SENATOR SOULS, Mr. Nanos, to test the sense of the convention, olfered the following resolution, which was received with ap- JAULKE :— Resolved, That this convention will not go into a nomina- | tion for President, or Vice-President, until the platform of the part is laid down. Sasepent said. that under the resolution pro- viding for the committee on the demooratic creed, this resolution would go to it without debate, This decision was succeeded by applanve, ‘There being much confusion, the President loudly called and rapped loudly to order. Mr Nawors—Do I understand that resolutions. what- gre their character, goto that committee, precluding all ‘The Presipent remarked that the subject was not de- bateable. Mr. Nanone replied that he did not want to debate it. After some conversation between several gentlemen, the President reversed his decision. and said that the re- solution of Mr. Nabors did not come under the resolu- tion adopted this morning, A delegate from Ohio demanded,:in the name ef that State, that a voto on the resolution be taken by States. Mr. Sour. of Louisiana, arose and said it should be ux derstood what was likely to be the bearing of the reso- lution. He had some few remarks to submit to the Con- vention, which he considered would induce them to vote down the resolution. Mr. Haut, of Wisconsin, raised the point of ordor that the resolution took the priority of business, and was not debateable, Mr. Co: anomalous position on this floor, cacy ehe cannot be represented on any committee until after the report from the Committee on Credentials shall have been received and acted upon. Hence gentlemen would sec that the delogates from that State were sitting here as mere cyphers, and not as representatives trom. sovereign Stato. Me therefore meved that the Commit- tee on Credentisis be called upon for their report. ‘Tho Presiprxt said he had already called for the re- port, bat Imd received no answer, The @hair would aguin call for the report. Mr. Cons asked, as an act of justice, that the Conven- tion would suspend all action until after the committee shall have made their report. ‘The Presivenr alluded to the point of order raised by Mr. Hall, and decided that the question was not do- bateable, Mr. Sourr was still standing ona settee. wishing to speak, and there were loud crics of |“ leavo, leave.” Mr. Nanoxs moved t# postpcne the further considera- tion of his resolution until to-morrow. A motion was made that the gentleman from Louisi- apa be permitted to proceed with his remarks .This was carried by a two-thirds vote, and was followed by long continued applause. Mr. Sovis: proceeded.— I was goizg to remark, gen the floor was accorded to me. that the question pre: ed, to this convention was one of high moment indeed, and one on which depended, in all. probability, the success and ultimate harmony of the democratic party. This being my impression, J, for one, am not willing to endan- ger the harmony by precipitate action. (Applauso ) What will bo the effect of the resolution upon, your table, if it be carried? Why, sir, the effect is obvious, ry man in this convention, every individual member on the Committee on Resolutions, will strain his last nerve to prepare a platform to suit the purpose of the individual candidate for whom hoe may entertain a Lamune and in this struggle, and great sca of opinion, I see but an abyss for the dignity and harmony 'of the demoeratic party. T want to warn you of the dangers of that abyss. When you come te a conclusion as to the harmony of tko democratic party—when you shall have heard of the burnings created by the troubles of conflict- ing interests --then, und then alone, shall this convention be prepared to act for the good of the party. (Applause. ) The struggle will no longer be between individuals—tho object will be no longer to promote the views of this man, or the ambition of the other; but the objects, I hope. will be to promote the stability of our institutions, and the triumph of the democratic party. (Applause.) I oppose with all the strength of my heurt the adoption of the resolution now pending. Mr. Hooxrr, of Mississippi, sald that the resolution offered by Mr. Nabors, preposing to construct a plat- form before the candidates are named met not the sanc- tien of the delegation from that State. He belleved that the majority of the delegation were violently opposed to it. They have appointed a spokesman, whe will express their views by authority, Dr. Nanons, of Miss.,aaid he was not aware that in becoming a member of the Convention he lost his indi- viduality, Before the gentleman from Louisii Soule) addressed the Convention, he (Mr. bors) pro- pored to move n postponement of the consideration of the retolution, in order that the Mississippi delegation might have time tooonsult, The distinguished gewile- man deprecated the introduction of the resolution, and for what reason? He claims, (said Mr. Nabors.) and it is a true claim, that he wishes to sec the demo- cratic party united,’ prpsperous, and victorious in the eoming contest. What is the democratic par- ty? What has it ever been proud to be predicated Upon? Principle, and nothing else. What is the high claim which has always distinguished tho democratic party, and to sustain which they have been prepared to make sacrifices? Everything for principles, and nothing for men. (Applause.) “The difference between the views of the gentleman and mine, are this :—He desires to make a candidate through the candidate, whilst I desire to make a platform. and put a eandidate upon it. We are obliged to make a platform, (Renewed applause.) ‘Then erect your platform before you get your candidate. I will. therefore, simply say. in conclusion, that go far as any rallying point in Mississippi isconcerned, the mind: of her deiegates aro made up. There is not a particle of difference between the members frem my own State. (Long continued applause.) We were divided in Missistippi, but are merged in one; and hence I have no- Sing to accomplish further than this. and I trust every eptleman will hear the remark. It is this:— think the time has now come when both of the great parties of this nation ought to be purified or annihilated. I do not care where the resolution comes from—North, East, South, or West—but I wish to go before the people with clean hands. In conclusion, he asked leave tem- eat to withdraw the resolution, in order that the ississippi delegation might have time to reflect. This was agreed to, Mr. Wise (of Va.) askod whether the question, on the adoption of the resolution proposing the erection of a platform. was now pending? ‘The Presip ied in the negative, Mr. Wiser then renewed the motion. The Presinxnr informed him that it was not debate- able, under the rules, Mr. Wiser said he had no speceh to make. He, however, regretted, very deeply, that he was not able to concur with the distinguished gentloman from Louisiana. The Presiorxt again reminded the gentleman that the Proposition was not debateabl ‘Cries of “Go on,” * Hear,” * Go on,” &e.) Mr. Wisr preceeded—I concur not with the positions of the gentleman from Louisiana, and much less with the reason which heassigns. What is the test of principles? The principle of the different delegations of the different States have preceded the nomination for delegates of every State. Is it so, sir, that if we undertake to esta- blish a platform of principles that the democratic party will suffer? God forbid it. (Applause.) I dissent from the conclusion that wo cannot debate, and cannot conelude on a platform of principles. Are they not established and known here? Are they not airea cardinal principles of the democratic’ party ’—and, permit me hero to say, that thero is more likely to be mischief in not laying down the principles first than by adopting your candidate. Before the nomi- nation is made differences may be reconciled, in order to make the various preferences of the delegations conform to the various principles of the delegations; but, on the contrary. the moment you get our votes then away with the principles? I ask, ‘hen. isit not better at once to de« clare the platform? ‘The men should be made to conform tothe principles, (Applause.) The faith of the demo- cratic party is established, not only in detail but in the agreement, Virginia has no difficulty in establishing and re-affirming it to the world. She is proud to say it is the faith of the ancien régime—tho faith of Madison and Jef- ferson—the administrative policy of strict construction, and economy in the public expenditures, Until I know what is the standard of faith, and that the nominee will be made to conform to that standard, I will never give him my vote, Gov. Froyn, of Va., remarked—I trust it may be the plea- sure of this Convention to reject the resolution. I concur heartily with the gentleman frem Louisiana, (Mr Souté) we came here not to construct a platiorm, but to nomi- nate a President, to find a welcome in every bosom, even without platform. We want a man whose life is a gua- ranty that he is true to democratic principles— Vorcr—That's the talk. Just at this point some one in the gallery cried out, © Hurrah for Cass,’’ Mr. Frovp continued.---Principles understood through- ont every nook and corner of the republic, The only platform required is that of the constitution on which the candidate is sworn, when he takes the oath to support it, We should beware how we construct platforms which may make the word of God of no effect, as did ofold the Scribes and Pharisees, Let us make a platform after the candidate is selected. Is it supposed that any oneof the candidates is so obnoxious that he cannot stand upon it? Let us not depart from the urngos of the party. They have carried us through safely. Why change what hus heretofore been done? Why repudiate the course our predecessors have marked out? The gentleman from Louisiana has shown that while ill will come from the course suggested in the resolution, none can occur by following the old beaten path. I am glad to avow that my sentiments are those entertained gene- rally by the Virginia delegation, Mr. Thompson, of Miss,, after saying that a majority has always contiolled the order of business, and never proclaimed in advance what a candidate should or should. not do, moved to lay the resolution upon the table, Mr. Sourr expressed the hope that the gentleman would withdraw his motion for a moment. The Presipent stated that in that event, a delegate from Indiana would have the floor, Mr. Tiomrson withdrew his motion, when Mr. J. L, Ronson said, the speeches having been on one side, he as a delegate frem Indiana, felt that if he were to remain silent he should be reckless. Indiana is (he said) about to unfurl the banner to the breexe, 60 thet he who runs may r (Applawse,) He was as- toni bed beyond measure to hear an objection from any quarter, expecially from the South, and from the gentle- wan from Louisiana jto laying down a platform im the read Democratic National Convention. In the name of God, ifwe don't lay down a platform now. when and where will we do it? (Applause ) In Washington some of the politicians wished to say nothing about the matter; and thore who oppore an election of opinion. made it a pretext that the Senate and House of Representatives were not the proper places for it; but that it should come before the convention, With what faeo. then. could they go be- tore the people, when the democracy had beon charging the whigs with the inult of not declaring thoir measures, From afeeling of deli x, of Georgia, said that Georgia occupied an” and yet ee themselves were disposed to pursue a simi- lar courre of conduct? If the democracy # nominate, | a candidate without first laying down their prinoiples, ; they would be utterly and irrecoverably disgraced and defeated in the ensuing contest; aa they deserved to be. Mr, Tromrsox, of Mixeiasippi, said that while he opposed the resolution, he did not wish to be understood as op- posing a platform, Mr. Sovir again arose, and by permission of the con- vention. was permitted to speak. He said, it would seem from the remarks of the gentleman who had last address- cd the convention at length, that it was supposed that he Was opposed ton platform. | This was not so. (Applauso.) We want. ho caid. a platform, but not one composed of empty and insignificant words; but a platform plain to the dullest intellect, that will remind the country of the principles on which we have fought the noblest battles of thedemocracy, (Applause. ‘hy. sir, has not the gen- tleman from Virginia, (Mr. Wise)—who, 1am proud to aay. has my highest respeot—told you a platform was laid down by the futhers of our institutions; and if his position be true, it will not juire con- siderable ingenuity to erect it again. If we are faithful to the teachings of those who framed the jovernment, and placed it §upon a sound foundation, re can bo no difference between the gentleman from Virginis and myrelf. We belong not to that class of po- liticians who, under any circumstances, shrink from & declaration of principies. Wo shall be found bold mem when the question of the platform is reached—too bold, perhaps. I am afraid we shall be taunted with delaying or defeating the rection of a platform. Some members will be found raising it rather too bigh to the skies; but let us do away with rhetoric and the artifices of languaze, and come to the tangible question before us, and my ques tion goes tothe conscience of every man in thia conven- tion. Are you prepared. are you ready, now topeak on that all important question? Without prejudice and precon- ceived opinions? Without something to be obtained, some ambition to be flattered, and purpose to be ad- i? Is this the moment’ to decide on the great ofa plattorm, on which the next Preaidential ‘obe fought? Ah, sir, we delude ourselyes at least, if wethink we are in a proper position to erect sucha platform. While different elements are at war; whilo there are variegated partizans in tho arona, this is not the moment when we can indulge in wise council, It has been said—and this seems to be the most specious ar- gument—that we should erect a platform before sclect- ing our nominee, because it may bo too late after wards, and that the nominee will Mere your sancrion, and wil) care but very little for your platform, Has it come to this, that in the great democratic party thero is to be found a man bold enough to present himseif for the highest office in the country's gift, who will belie your decision? Icannot and will not believe it. If you erect your platform beforchand, where are the candidates to give their assent to it? You might be at a loss, were you tocallthem to the table, for it is a mystery who shall be selected. After further remarks. he said he was | for having some respect for the usages of the pact.
