I. was coteroporary:witb the abandeninent of

eus systent: It iris along Wilde ago; and prpii
ably but very te.w of :you:remember.., it. - But
under the old congressimfal Caucus - rule no one
was admitted except democratic members of
the - 'Senate and House. Under tyn't .systern
there never was any dariger• that 'moorhen; out
side of the democratic party could impose a can
didate.upon the•States.which wer,s, democratic;
atitl`wh ich could Mime elect him after •he was
'proposed. There were no danger of thrit•kied,'
because 'there` being no persona in the caucus
,except democratic' mem her's; of - Congress; that
afforded a:perfect assurance that the. nominee of
the party would at least ',be. - agreeable to the
Democratic' States. This congreSsional conven
tion system was broken up. , The nationatcon
vention Succeeded,. Whether ':it. was wisely
broken up or not I shall' not' now •pretend 'to
say: But upon the organiiation.of the nationa l

' It, was, belieVedarthe time; for, I vt.s was
part and 'parcel of the triov'ement, that in' the

was.the•main•pillar of the rational convention.
It hasheen destroyed at Baltimore, and the
•tional convention lips stumbled. into 'ruin as al
n'ationtil convention. The 'wisdom of the two
thirds •rale, howeVer; is 'manifes't ,from: the
nresthiccoadition of the affair's of the - country.
If it ball Prevailed, no . candidate .coulit:diave
.beettnominated against the epresse,d Will of
every democratic Stale •in the Union, and of

This two-thirds rule, then; ha's been prostrated,
and thereds , nothing in the, way of 'any demo
crat voting for Breckenridge and. •Lanp .in • the
'proceedings of the assemblage at

It must be c , onfeSsed„ however, that IBrecken,
'ridge is in the,sam . e 'condition with Douglas• in'
this respect. The convention that nominated
him, althoidgMit.was compbsed of nearly all the
