An enterprising individual provided himecif with miniature daguorreotypes of Breckinridge and Lamo, which he retailed among the ad- mirers of thoee gentlemen at a small chargo. ‘That celebrated picce or ordnance, the Empire Club pocket pisto!, was planted in the streot at Aster place, and at intervals awakened the echoes of that peacefd locality with Ite frequent discharges. ‘The meeting was called to ordor at quarter past cight P.

But the eS me ity” ia much and we are that Mr, for President, and Gesera) Lane for Viee President, are not democratic nomi- nations, and that Mr. Douglas and Mr. Johneon are requ: lar.

The Presidential nominee of thit Convention is himsel oppised still repudiates them after their confirmation by the Su- me Court of the United States. For the proof of this appeal to the # of Senator Benjamin, recently pro- nounced in the Senate. The principles of the present de- mocratic administration bave been thwarted and the par- ty disrupted by the nominee of the Baltimore Charleston ten Convention and bis followers in bis assumption of a covert for the Territories, which bas never been pretended by any well received expounder of the consti- tution, and which can never be maintained as a principle of constitutional law, any more than could a “Wilmot rovieo”’ or a ‘Buffalo platform.” (A voice, ‘+All gas.’’) ese things and this nominee cannot be ae democratic party, whose first clement hag been to maintain the constitution = and sim- ple.

So it mmst continue for all time to come. The constitution is the sheet spchor of our hopes; when that is gove all ig lot. If, therefore, the Cincinnsti platform, or any other platform, falls abort of, goet beyond, the measure of the constitution by any Misinterpretation or oversight, it is only necessary for ue to know it to correct it. It {s upon this vital principle (its twfidelity to the supreme law of the land) that we Gppote the black re wabtican party. Can we be less ex- actipg with men who look for succor in our own ranks, whilst their infidelity, if not so monstrous in its inten- tions, ig equally glaring in fact? To maintain :ta doctrines the democratic party has encountered many severe strug: gles with its polltical adversaries; but, in the end, it has found virtue in the masses equal to the emergency. ‘Tbe contest now before as may be difficult, and, for a time, embarrassing; but we believe the people will become be instructed upon the subject, and rise superior &@ mere abstraction, which it may be feared bas been attempted to be engrafted upon the party for sinister purposes. Bus I bave endeavored to show that a man cannot be regular, in the line of profer- ment in the democratic Party whose doctrines the decrees of the Bupreme rt, be he nominated by what faction he may. It were better to dissolve democratic party than for it to elect @ President who is know to be directly at isue with the highest authority kvown to the law—that authority being 8 supreme, in its sphere, as is Congress in its lawful legislation and the executive in the enforcement of the laws. (Cheers.) We then, for ourselves and for all the members of the democratic family who concur with us, most solemnly Frovest against the nominations of Mr. do: ‘and Mr. jobngon, a8 neither democratic or national. (Cheers.) To be repular, the candidates must be eligible by the rales we have laid down. In this respect our nominees are triumphantly regular. They stand immovably uj the unbounded precedents and principles of the constita- tiopa) democratic party, aud have ever stood there, and masses of the national democratic party.

Thus the Convention which was formed by the withdraw- ing delegates from tbe Douglas Convention, grew out of the necessity of the case, delegates from the demo- cratic States, and several from otber States, driven from that Convention by its factious and anti-democratic oro- ceedings, claim regularity, because their new Convention was ip principle and democratic in Upon the spur of the moment more than twenty were represented by full or partial Gey end Hon, €.

(Loud cheers.) = NON INTERVENTION—AQUATTER SOVERRIGNTY, Much has been said upon the subjects of non-interwan- tion and squatter sovereignty, ae it is termed, and there bss been mech more said upou them than has beea an- derstood by tho who have said it. And it would be well for the political magpier who chatter Fo Sippentiy Upon the subject to learn their lexson before prate jt. (* That’s true,” and cheers.) The two prince! |, which really have no relation to each other and are entirely ferent, have been strangely and unpardonably confounded ; ‘Dut I will state the trae ‘tions of each separately. Non- intervention means that there should be no intervention: to extend or prohibit rlavery in the Territories, but that the of the States and tho Territories should be left, while « Territory, to cxjoy just suet rights aa to carrying 3 bPaee division, PRICE TWO CENTS. their slaves with them when removing into the Territo- ries, or exclusion therefrom, as it should be ae whe courts belonged to them, Squatter sovereignty the sovereign right of the people of a Territory to the introduction of slavery from the Territory Territorial legislation, regardless of the construct! to the constitution by the decisions of the Before the Dred Scott decision this was an open question; since that decision \t i¢ so no longer. The difference plainly this; non-interventiom by C and qualified popular sovereignty proposed such Territorial legisla Lion as should be in deference to, subject to and in har- mony with the decisions of the Supreme Court upon the great question. Squatier sovereignty defies the autho- rity of the courts and asserts the power of the Territorial Legislature to exclude slavery from the Territory Wy sbeolutely. regardieas of the construction given be coustitution by the court. MI. DICKINSON'S RESOLUTIONS OF 1847, IN THE SENATS, AND ‘MR.

Thut is, with the right of” ple to legislate in harmony with the constitution for comestic government. I never was an advocate for, oF ® believer ip, the doctrine of equatter sovereignty, ‘t to be an out and out absurdity, For it makes ‘the laws. of a Territorial Legislature 4 override the constitution of the United States. The resolutions which | introduced 1847, proposing non-intervention in the Territories and sug: gesting the principio of popular sovereignty, in qualified form, proposed, as shown by the: ich fol lowed their introduction, that the Territorial legislation should keep in view such conajruction as should be given: {0 the constitution by the Supreme Court, and in barmopy with and in declaratory obedience to it. They were pever brought to 2 vote, because measures involving the precise question came under consideration soon after their int juction, and for no other reason. (Cheers.) In 1848 Mr. Calhonn, myeelf and others, upon theycommittee charged with o bill known as Clayton a Dy a Mr. Calhoun assent ed, that the bill should upon the principle non intervention, and it was £0 framedand so the Senate, but waa, near the close of the session, on the table in the House of tatives. The only diffe- rence between Mr. Calboun and myself the then or at any other time, was this: the bill should recognige, ‘in declaratory form, the right of the citizens of all the States to go to the common ritories with their Props y , slave property included, and . 1 a E there be protected. Without affirming or deny po- sition, I proposed, as it was an unrettled qi ) and strictly belonged to the judiciary, to leave itto be decided dy the courts, to which ho readily aesented, remarking that the South had such entire confidence in the position they were wililng to stand upon nop-intervention, and await a judicial covetruction of the constitution and of their rights in the Territories. The position of Mr. Calhoun has since been fally vindicated and sustained by the Dred Scott decision. COMPROMISE MEASURES OF 1860, The compromiss measures of 1860, were based upon the same non-intervention idea, and while they were un- der discussion in the Senete of th ‘ite! States, I had {be Bower to state my position there in ‘upon the as — ‘ Now, sir I wiah to sey, ano for all. that it fa wot m tom, eiber direetly or Tdirecuy, favor, by. voice ar vote, fhe fatepaion of layers, Fie, reszltion of Slavery tn hp whatever.’ Nor amT tdhvemeed tm this conclusion by Inws of the Territory in question, either natural oF the laws of nature or the lawa Of man; and, fer all he pur: Posts of the (present ‘action, 1 will pot inguibe w hat elther reapect. 1 will stand upon the true principles intervention, in’ the broadest possible sense for non-inerven- tion's sake, Yo uphold the fundamental principles of freedeas, and for no other reasen, and will leave the people of ibe Ter” ritoriea and of the right and pricliges aa aro and ‘swe ted states, from, such rights by the ibeira under the ¢ without addition to, ar ui Congress, The Kanagg and Nebra ka dill ee Ap ite diet ‘ebraska ox ‘or. bance of the Missouri line, contalbed 2a new principle whatever, but copied the same non- intervention prin- ciple which bad been recognized by Congress, and waited the of the constitution. z i = 8 d 5 ‘THR DRED SCOTT DECIION, After the passage of all these measures, came the Scott decision by tho ¢ Court of the United Stater, had contended, and thus setilmg the question for 8 for all those who to ab!
