We had adjourned from Charleston for the express
purpose of allowing the Demooraoy of the Southern

these vacancies at Baltimore, and had bocome or

I hope the Convention will make a bold and do

non-intervention. I want to see that prinoiple of
popular power in the Territories incorporated as

Pennsylvania, in addition to tbo platform laid

On motion of Hon. Richard Vauv, of Philadel

In the absence of the Committee on Bwolafcions,
Joshua i‘. Oven, £• l., of Philadelphia wu called
upon to address the Convention. Its said that the
party wasoa the ere of momentous erects, which
were to affeot the interest* of tho whole country,
{t waa the oommon danger of the party and the
country which had brought this Convention ot the
Democracy together. Tjqq Executive Committee
had inaugurated a revolution la tho party ; it had
refused to reetguite the only regular nominations
made at Baltimore, and had violated Its impllod
pledge to carry oat the Instructions of the Rending
Convention; and now whilst it is our doty to ex
ereise caution and maintain the discipline of the
party, yet it becomes onr duty to act with energy
and with boldness.
We do not believe that the Constitution deter*
mines this Territorial question either one way or tho
other; it Is silept pnon H- It leaves the people to
determine the matter aa they please As a proof
of this, Congress has interfered against slavery
from mere policy. The ordinance of 1787 and the
Missouri Compromise 1820 were acquiesced in
by the whole country as matters of policy. Tho
Compromise of 1850 introduced a new policy—that
of non-interference by Congress—ana that is the
policy which we advocate to day* If, as it is con
tended by the Southern extremists, tho Constitu
tion recognizes property in slaves without qualifi
cation, and carries slavery into a Territory by its
inherent vigor, it seems to me that, on a parity of
reasoning, it carries slavery into every State in 'he
Union, for the Constitution is uniform in its power
all over tho country.
Jt does not distinguish between Stut«3 or indi.-
Hals, and, therefore, a right, under tho Consti
tution, la South Carolina, is equally so in Massa
chusetts; and the.Oovernmem is bound to protect
It aa snob. The absurd conclusion thus deducted
shows the preposterous character of this assump
tion of a right whioh does not exist. The Consti
tution recognizes slavery only in those States where
it exists under the laws thereof. We, however,
avow that it is tho host policy that the people shall
determine this question for themselves, and w e are
ready to bide the issue before t he people.
In addition to the resolutions reported In yester
day’s Pnpflß, the comtriittoo, thropgh Jra p. Mit
chell, of Centre, reported tho subjoined address,
whioh was unanimously adopted;
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
We, the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in mass
Convention assembled, deem it propor that we
should clearly and distinctly enunciate the po
sition we at present oocupy among the existing po
litical parties, rooapUulate tho causes and in
fluences whioh have brought about the ul arming
oriels In whioh we are Involved, and explain to tho
voters of the Commonwealth the motives which im
pel and control our action in the" important, cami
palgn already Inaugurated lu the American Union.
Wo have long been members of the Democratic
organization, and our present desire is to act in
detenoo of its established principles, and in con
formity with its settled usages, and to support Us
regular nominees. In now addressing ourselves to
our fellow-oitlzenß throughout the State, we are
poftuted by a sincere devotion to tho Constitution,
Under whose protection we dwell, to tho time
honored principles of our party, and bv the im
pulses ot an elevAted patriotism. Regarding uie
Presidential contest in whioh we are now engaged
as one altogether too sacred for the gratification of
partisan one rising far above tho
atmosphere of tho selft -h political spoilsman, wo
’desire to aot exclusively with a viow to the future
interests of our heretofore flourishing, bat now
threatened Republic, and the perpetuity of the
time-honored pftariples of the party tp. which we
nolong. Thus* actuated, It behooves tie oalmly to
rechon onr latitude and longitude, carefully to in
spect onr crew, nnd fearlessly to set sail upon tho
political ocean, determined safely to en f or port, or,
if wo unfortunately wrook on the rooks of fanati*
. clem and sectionalism, our proad colors shall con
tinue to float at our mast head, indicative of the
. future success of our noblo vessel
Now, for the first time In the history of Demo*
' craoy, we have presented to ns the strange ano
maly of an organization formed in hostility to
the Democratic party, based twin antagonistic
Srlnclpjca and advocating candidates for Pre&i
ent and Vino president, and in many of tho States
of the Union for local officers, hosiile to tho Demo
cratic nominations, end yet claiming to bo the Na
tional Democratic party, and endeavoring to pos
sess and control its organization. Our primary
duty, thsn, is to examine tho grounds upon which
these remarkable arrogations are founded, and to
ascertain what reason chore is in these bold as-
sumptions If they are roally the Democratic
party—lf their candidates aro tho National Demo
cratic nominees—it is clearly and manifestly onr
duty as loyal Democrats to support them and
no otbors. Otherwise they are entitled'to no mere
respeot or oopsiderntlon ifop ui than any other
opposing hnd anti-Demooratio organization.
We have either bnt one Democratic nominee for
President and one for Vice President, or we have
none, because thore was but one National Demo
cratic Convention called, and invested with power
1 to make nominations, to whioh we, in any manner,
oweourpoUticalallej/iance. That Convention was
duly called .and in accordance therewith, met in
the city of Charleston on the 23d day of last,
and'tben it adopted as its platform of principles,
with some slight additions in whioh all concurred,
tiie series of resolutions adopted at Cincinnati in
1850, advocated during the presidential campaign
of tqat year by Democrats throughout tho entire
union, and maintained triumphantly at the ballot
box by tho American people. Upon the occurrence
of this result,a number of tho delegates fr*m the
eotton States, under the load of Wm. J ( . Tanoey,
Who avows himself not for the Union, olaimiog the
recognition of a docttlno Inconsistent with all the
past professions of the Democratic party, severed
their connection with tho Convention and with the
party, retired to another portion of the oity, and
formed themselves into a separate and distinot body
—distinct, not only in organisation, but distinot
and diverse in their fundamental principles.
After this disintegration of the Convention, that
bony proceeded to ballot for a candidate for Presi
dent of the United States, and so continued for
fifty-seven consecutive ballots, during which
Stephen A. Dongles reoelved a deoided majority of
all the votes of s full . Convention. The minority
should then have yielded; but having due regard
for theuiagßi of the party, and desiring as far as
yonslstent with honor to conciliate and satisfy the
extreme South, the Convention, after authorising
the Demooraoy of the Stoles/whoee delegates had
res'gned their oommissloos and abandoned their
seat*, to supply the vaoaaoUi thus oooaaloued. ad
tourned to meet In Baltimore on thelSth day of June,
Pnrsnant to said adjournaent, the Convention re
assembled, and by virtue of toe power inherent in
all deliberative bodies, it proceeded to determine,
*n the usual manner, who of the diffstent olaimauta
were entitled to take seats and aot as de!<*ftHs‘ fa
toe Democratic National Convention. This ques.
non being decided (as all questions necessarily are)
01 a 10 will and wishes of the minorlty.'an
additional secession occurred. The state of the
after all secessions, and the manner,ln
whioh our oand<date was nominated, is succinctly
stated by the National Democratic OomnlUtee/M

It may farther be added, that bo far aa the De
mocratic party of Pennsylvania are concerned,
they are honorably bound by the action'of their
entire delegation to support Stephen A. Douglas
and Hersohol V. Johnson, because, as it appears
from the recorded proceedings of the Convention,
every delegate from this Bute was present, and
consenting to the passage of the resolution decla
ring Mr.’ Douglas to be the unanimous nominee of
th « poffloowtio party. No one of our delegation
notified the Convention of their withdrawal (here
from, or of a suspension of his participation in its
deliberations. While a number aeoltned to vote end
aotuaily associated with the Beoeiets, our entire
delegation appears, from the records, to have been
presont wheo the Anal resolution was passod ioith
oxu a disasnttne votci. Mr. Dawson, who had
beeu]a,Qonsifitent opponent of Douglas for the nomi
patloo, with a promptness that did him great oredlt
as chairman of the delegation, pledged the Demo
cracy 0 i tba Keydobe dtate to the support of the
nomtnoea of that Convention Under these oiroum
stances, then,Pennsylvania should ha the last State
Jo whioh Secession will be permitted*tb set Its.feet.
When the Demooratio Convention adjourned at
Charleston, the Breeders also adjourned, not to
meet in conjunction with their late assooiatos. bat
to meet at Richmond on the 11th day of June.
They acoordiogty did then and there reassemble,
put the Baltimore Beceilors refused to join them, and
wlthont authority, without call or announcement,
came together in an impromptu manner, and after
mayiog the faroe of christening themselves the
National Demooratio party, agreed unanimously
that John C Breckinridge and Joseph Lane should
bo their candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent. The whole number of votes, reported by
thomßelves to have been oust for their candidates,
being but one hundred and five, It is apparent that
at no time had they a quotum ota National Demo
cratic Convention, and at no time were they com
petent (conceding their regularity in all other re
spects) even to organise such a Convention, much
lees to perform acts binding open the Democracy.
The a anon thoy can claim for their proceedings, is
that they wero the origination and Incfplanoy of a
new party, distinct and separate in every respect
from all othor political organisations known to the
OonveniionTleHi* icq&we *ir « L.r v*Hrv««i
they Irregular? Or what occurred to jasu^y
allegation that the nomination of Douglas was not
made In strict accordance with the usages of the
party, and Is not therefore binding upon the De
mocracy? Theebtef complaint made by >he So
coders was that persons were improperly admitted
to se&ta as delegates.
Now, without inquiring into the merits of the
respective delegations contestUg—wbioh question
was fairly settled by the Conventioo—we have
simply to ascertain whether the Convention tran
scended its powers or not, in assuming absolute and
final jurisdiction thereof. This oan scarooly be al
leged, for the Seeeders themselves, without dis
puting the complete jarfsdfotioa of the Convention
over the question, participated throughout in the
very preceding* which resulted in the contin
gency upqa the happening qf whioh they with
drew Similar questions had been determined in
tbe same way at Charleston without objeottoo, com
plaint, or secession on that account. It is not kiown
that in the entire history of the party any o tber man
ner of settling contested seats has ever been resorted
to. The rulea of the House of Representatives of the
United Btates were adopted, so far as applicable,
for tbe government of the Convention. Section
V, Art. 1, of the Constitution of the United States,
(whioh is npoessarily ono of the rules of tho House,)
says: “Each house shall be the judge of the elec
tion returns and qualifications of its own jpemhers.”
Then tho Convention had full power to pass finally
upon the credentials, of persons claiming to parti
cipate as delegates, and every acting delegate was
obligated in honor to abide by the decision of the
majority upon that as upon all other ques ions.
Again, it is said that Mr. Douglas was not fairly
nominated, because he did not receive the votes of
two-thirds of a full Convention. The fallacy of this
assumption has already been made apparent by the
quotation from theNa'ional Committee. Rut, it may
do remarked, that until tbe present bold attempt
to distract and destroy the demooratio party, the
rule was never held to require more than two
thirds of the votes cast for a candidate, provided
tbe votes so cast were a quorum. The Convention
at which It was first adopted (in 1844) thus con
strued it, and asimitor construction has uniformly
been placed upon it, by common consent, in every
Convention from that day to this, except the one
over which Caleb Cushing unfortanately presided.
Mr. Doaglae on the second ballot at Baltimore
received all of the votes oast, but fourteen, and on
the final vote declaring him the unanimous nomi
nee more than two-thirds of a fall Convention
gave their assent. So that, under either construc
tion of tbe rule, he is the regular nominee of the
National Democratic Convention, according to tho
usages of the party, and, therefore, the nominee of
the entire party. Th-sowho do not snpport him
are outside tbe party, and it matters not to us
where they belong. If they are not far us they
are against us.

Tbe aetlon of the State Executive Committee In
recommending a compromise and a Colon electoral
ticket, is already so -well known to the people as to
render it unnecessary that the resolutions, so insi
diously framed and dangerous in their character,
should be Inserted here. They simply propoao that
in a certain contingency, the electors appointed by
the State Convention at Heading, shall vote (In the
event of their election,) for Uroofctnridgo ana Lane
—gentlemen unknown as Domooratlo candidates
They argue most earnestly, and with apparent sin
cerity, tho propriety of consenting to this arrange
ment, because it will combine the entire atrougth
of the Demooratio party in the State, and Btoure
the election of tho ticket. CojUd wo believe that
any action of those who manage tho machinery of
politics would bind the incorruptible masses of the
Uemooraoy, and lead them, like dumb men, whi
thersoever oe would, and had we no moro worthy i
objeot, no mote elevated aim, than mere tempo- !
rary success and the eleotion of our candidates, we >
might be induced to consent to this unauthorized,
unworthy, and disorganizing suggestion of the j
Executive Committee. 1
What are the elements with which we are asked
to unite? The seoeding organization Is composed
of the ultra Dieumonista and slave-code advocateu
of the South, and the cohorts of the federal Ad
ministration, moved by a spirit of Vindictive per
sonal hostility—suoh as animated Themiatocles in
bis constant warfare upon the Immortal Aristides—
bent on tbe defeat of our candidate, although it
tnay rosult in the destruction of the Democratic
party and tho dissolution of the American Union. It
is oompoaod of men who withdrew from a regularly
called, regularly organised, and regularly acting
Democratic Convention, and set up Tor tbemseives
outside of that body and in opposition thereto.
Their dootrino, like that of the Kenublioans, de
clares the power of Congress over trie Territories
for their government, and demands that that pow
er shall be exerotaed for the protection of slavery
thorelu—a doctrine whioh Is in direct contraven
tion of all the pact professions of the Democracy,
and In contradiction of tbe principles advocated
North and South by every Democratic orator four
years ago, including John C. Breckinridgo, the no
minee of theSeoedoTS, and James Buchanan, the
President of the United States.
The secession at Charleston oocnrred, ostensibly,
on account of tbe refnsal of tho Convention to
adopt the very platform whloh our Executive Com*
mittee propose that tbe Detpocraoy of Pennsylva
nia a|iail now support. A union upon an electoral
ticket to tbe support of both candidates,
would be an amalgamation of principles as antago
nistic a 8 tbe poles How could we ooaduQt' t&o
campaign as the Upholders of conflicting, theories
of government! What principles wouUPbur press
advocate? What would our public speakers say?
Whnt addresses would our oommUtees issue ? We
denounced tbe Kepubtio&n and Ao^ rioQn parties,
in tho last Presidential oontest, for their aaorifice
of principle in forming a oonjbinati Qn » and now wo
are sekej to render ouieeWes obnoxious to similar
and more scathing denunciations!
The fact has already been adverted to, that a
controlling influence in the new party is personal
malignity against our candidate. Can we trust
men thus eotuated to support him under any cir
cumstances? If we can, then, verily, may we re*
joloo in tbe dawning of the millennium, when ene
mies ean in union dwell—whes “ tho wolf and the
lamb shall lie down together.”
Moreover, the course pursued by the new organ
isation since the adjmrmnent at Baltimore, shows
conclusively that they have “no part nor lot with
us,” and we should not have with them—that they
are real enemies of Democracy, and that their pro
fessed desire for harmony is but the disguise of
some ulterior and dangerous purpose. \\ has bon

I shoald have ntuelr preferred hearing, at thh

in the ranks of the Democratic party «g General

I nave no hesitation In saying a word or two with
regard to the grave political questions which we
have mot hew to consider. But, Mr. President
l can do little inoro than catchup the re
frala af your suggestion, and again proclaim that
it Is incumbent upon us to act -fearlessly and to
take no ateps that we will have to retrace. And f
feel sure, from the manner in which your remark*
