He immediately stripped Qf, snd swaiting bis baggage wrapped himself up in a Winnket, aad them lighting a cigar be read the wpecch of ‘Mr. Breckinridge through before dressing himself. At eight o’clock this evening he was serenaded by the Btues’ band, and immediately appeared on the lower bal- cony. He was greeted with cheers and proceeded with a stentorian voice to address am immense concourse of List- fevers, being frequently interrupted by cheers. He cont- ‘menced by expressing his devotion to the Union and his determination to exert al) the powers of the constitution for ite permanency. He would ask no- ‘thing for his own State, no right and no immunity thst be would not grant'to the Southern States. He proceed- @4 to define the non-intervention dostrine by many ‘apt and amusing Illustrations and analogies, and maid the slavery question must be settled ‘Dy local exigencies. Where slavery was profitable; there % would go; where it was not, there it would never be leg- ialated into existence. Visionary, fanatical men of the Gouth thought because slavery was desirable in certain latitudes it ought to exist everywhere. Fanatics at the North thought because it was not desirable there in that section, it ought to be abolished everywhere. We on the plains of Ilinois once tried slavery. When it was found 1% was incompatible with our interests it was abolished. ‘When it was found we could not make and money en it, we turned philanthropists and abolished !t. It was @ great error to suppose Congressional legislation could regulate the mater. If it was found contrary to the in- terests of the people of any Territory to have slavery, all ‘the powers in Christendom could not force it upon them. ‘So, if it war found to be to the interest of the people to Since I arrived here to-night, a friend read to me a por- tion of a speech delivered by Mr. Breckinridge at Lexing- ' ‘ton, Kentucky, yesterday. 1n that speech I find that Mr. Convention and the division of the democratic party, to ‘the great danger of the election of a black republican, amy change of principle, or any change of usage of the party; but be and his party take the ground that the ‘man who stands where he and others stood four years ago ‘uno better than an abolitionist, (Cheers.)

(Cries of “He did #0."") And now this Breok- imridge, who was electag Vice President by your efforts and by mine upon that self-same doctrine, says that no ‘man ovght to be entrusted with the reins of government who stands by the principle to which he pledged bis sacred bonor to stand by four years ago. (Cneers.) again, my fellow citizens, Major Breckinridge, im bis stump specch, defends bimseif agains: the charge that he ‘was opposed to General Cass in 1848. Fle says it is trae that in 1847 he attended the meeting which brought oat General Taylor for the Presidency , but that subsequentiy, (we 1848, after Cass was nominated, he took the stamp for Cass, because he represented his (Breckinridge’s) prin- ciples. Now, mark his language: ‘I went for Cass be- eause Cana represented my principles.’ What principles 4id Case represent’ Why, he had just written the (Cheers) the dogma tion assembled in this city in 1848, that nominated Case for President, they adopted the same platform of non. intervention. Now look on that platform. Breckinridge ‘was sound in 1848, and he pledged himself to the doo- tine of von Intervention by Congress with slavery in the Terriuories. Breckinridge went tor Case because Case re- prerented bis principles, or this dogma; so it seems, ‘then, that Breckinridge and Cass in the South were to- gether in 1848. Weall went for the dogma every man read the record if he has a doubt point. The only objection I hed myself time was that be went « little too far on sovercignty. (Cheers.)

(Cheers) My old friend, General Case, who ie a very good and a very potriotic man, and Breckinridge telle you in his stump speech that Case in 1840 represented hia principles. Again, in 1862, the cemooratic party assembled in this Monumental City, and same yoar, and nominated Seott for President, and they. wo, adeyted the mame principles on the subject of slavery. ‘The only contest them raised was, whether Peres, the democratic candidate, or Scott, the whig candidate, wae the roundest on the dogma of non fatervention.

Hence your claim that this measure was s whig measure, and that we de- mocrats are not entitled toany credit for it. But toat Dill was founded on the principle of non-intervention, and Mr. Breckinridge was sound upon it then, though va- sound upon it to-day. So you see that you whigs and we democrats, in our separate national conventions in this city in 1852, affirmed this principle of non-intervention, ‘and in the same year John C. Breckinridge was elected to Congress from Kentucky, pledged to the same principle Breckinridge was sound on that principle thea, and it wa upon this principle that Buchanan and Breckinridge were elected President and Vice President of the United States. But Breckinridge has chosen to tell the people in bis ctump speech that I am not the regular nominee for President, and therefore that he was right in running against me. «You all know the fact. The two-thirds of the Convention were for me against one-third. The onc- third they found could not control when the two-thirds balloted and broke up the Convention. Breckinridge takes the nomination from the one-third. He claims that Tam not the regular nominee, and that therefore he is the nominee, Ibaye only to say that! never yot de ecended low enough to take the nomination from one-third of my party. (Cheers.)

When- ever I go into a convention and get the nomination, I wilt not say what I would regard myself if I was guilty of the diehonor of running egainst the regular nominee—for what is a convention worth except the delegates who go to it recognize themselves bound by bonor to abide the result? Would am honorable man go to a convention with the understanding that if he won he would take the stakes, but if he lost he would not pay? My friends, 1 will leave you to ponder upon these things, and reflect upon them, in connection with Breckinridge’s conduct in this matter. (Cheers.) The Beechimridge and Lane State Com- mittee.
