KB* A WD *OI7TIIKRX BKJIOCBACT —QfJM OP E^CEKCE. Tfic Charleston Mercury has pnblisbed a verbatim report of the proceedings of the Democratic. National Convention.— We clip from it extracts of the speeches made on the platform by Hon. George E. Pugh, Henry B. Payne, William L. Yancey, Governor King, of Missouri, and others. They contain much political truth, all gems of oratory, and will be read with interest.

HON. HENRY B. PAYNE, OF OHIO.

Mr. Payne replied to* Mr. Avery, of South Carolina, who spoke iu favor of a •lavc-codc. 'After giving extracts from the speeches of a 1 the eminent .Southern statesmen in favor of Popular Sovereignty and non-intervention in 1856, Mr. Payne said

Why Mr. President should I extend these quotations I repeat there is no distinguished statesman from the .Southern States, who figured on the floors of Congress during these di*cussion.°, or who catnc.to us in Ohio upon the slump," as we call it, who did not take ground in favor of non-intervention by Congress upon the floor of Congress. It went into the Cincinnati Platform, it went to the people from the lips of every Democratic Speaker who addressed us. The Northern mind lias become thoroughly imbued with this great doctrine of popular sovereignty.— You cannot tear it out of their hearts unless you tear out their heart-strings themselves. What then Do we say that this doctrine shall be held in derogation of your constitutional rights No, Go 1 forbid We have said the people of the Territories shall have nothing but what the Constitution will give theui or permit them to have. We say that all this shall be subject to the Constitution of the United States, and in the resolutions which we have brought in here wc have said that we will leave it to the Courts of the country to decide what the Constitution docs permit, and wc will maintain and abide by the decisions of the Courts. Then, if the judicial tribunals of the country decide that the people of the Territories have no such rights, wc agree !C abide by that decision and to carry it out in good faith. There we stand, and having been placed there by the authority of Southern as well as Northcm statesmen, wc cannot from that position with honor recede.

There, sir, wo have stood, and there we

stand, iliis question ot intervention in

the lcrriioncs has been the subjcct ot

more misfortune, of more altercation, ol more estrangement, of more heart-burn-ings than all the other evils combined since the government commenced. I repeat that upon the question of Congressional non-intervention we are committed by the acts of National Democratic Conventions wc cannot recede without personal dishonor, and so help us God, we will never recede. (Applause.)

You say we can not get along without the Southern vote and yet in lir'o'2 the vote of the Norther.i or Free States would have clcctcd General Piorce, if every Southern vote had gone against him. I mean not by this allusion to charge that my Southern brethren arc not reliable.— I admit that they are reliable. But I ask j'ott to look at niv own State of Ohio, where Abolitionists rave as wildly and as madly as in any other portion of the Republic You talk about fighting at home

3011

Now, Mr. President, wc are about to enter upon, perhaps the most severe and desperate political conflict that has ever been waged since the commencement of the Government. Never have wc bad such a Btrugglc on our bauds as wc are about to enter upon. It concerns us, but I tell you my friends of the South, with no uukindness, that it conccrus you infinitely more than it docs us. We can stand it under a Republican rule wc can stand it under a Republican Supreme Court wc cau stand it with a Republican Executive department. You have far more at stake than wc have.

RON. B. F. BUTLER, OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Mr. Butler spoke in favor of the adoption of the Cincinnati Platform, full and •ingle. He said

If the platform adopted at Cincinnati was wrong, where was the chairman of our committee He was there a member of that Convention, and will you allow me to read the enthusiasm which he then gave to the resolutions I have the honor to present When the State of North Carolina was called, Mr. Avery, who, was the organ of the delegation from North Carolina, laid: North Carolina casts ten votes for the resolutions, and will give ten thousand in November." (Laughter and aptSMH.) Where vert the eloquent gentle-

wen from Mississippi Where were tfie keen-eyed politicians from Alabama .Where "were those somewhat uneasy friends of ours from South Carolina Where wasr-' gallant Kentnckjr then*?-^ Where was Georgia then, that lio man rose to object to the resolutions Where, I say then, was our eloquent .Chairman

I then" ask my friends of the Convention whether 'I am as presumptaous^as might seem, in appearing before you and and asking the adoption of the Cincinnati Platform, which four years ago was received with so much enthusiasm by the National Democracy in Convention assembled Sir, it has received the unanimous verdict of- the Democratic .party of the country, North and South,' in one great victory, carrying it firm upon our banner

not know anything about it. None of you have an army of 200,000 fanatics to contend with. When the Missouri Compromise was first repealed, they carried the State of Ohio b}' more than 80,000 majority, and every one of the twenty-one members of Congress from that State wore clcctcd by the Republican party. Wc have since reduced the vote to a mere trifling majority, anil Ohio is now a Democratic State, or nearly so with the right kind of a platform, she will unquestionably cast her vote for the Democratic Candidate in the coning election anil so I may l«ay in reference to nearly all the Northern States. Ohio from tho time she commenced voting for Jefferson, down to the time when she stopped voting for Andrew Jackson, never gave any other than a Democratic vote in the Electoral College, and so ahc will be in the future, if you give us for our platform the doctrino of popular sovereignty. Wc have already clcctcd several members of Congress but fix upon the doctrincof intervention on the part of Congress, and I say it with perfect confidence in the truth of what 1 say, that I do not believe wc cau clcct a single member of Congress in the whole Northwest, unless it be in Lower Egypt. No, sir, you cannot carry the Democratic part}* with success, unless wc have the doctrine of non-intervention in our platform.

YANCEY.

Senator Pugh made a noble reply to Mr. Yancey, showing that he had changcd his ground in four years. He said:

Mr. Pugh. I certainly, vith the honorable gentleman, consider this occasion too grave to call any gentleman's consistency in question. I have referred to the proceedings of this .Convention for the purpose ot'i showing that the very, year the Cincinnati platform was framed,.and just before its fabrication, when the'State of Alabama' was represented in Convention bv the same eloquent and able gentleman and his able andeloquent colleagues, while she expressed for herself thct very opinion upon constitutional law which she had expressed here to-day, she nevertheless agreed as the basis of a compromise, as the basis of a national organization, on the doatrinc of Congressional Non-intervention in regard to Slavery in the Territories.

I have referred to this, gentlemen, only to show that Alabama did'nof on that occasion, as on this, put forward (he proposition she docs now—and that is the key to the whole controversy. Wc arc now called upon to settle that which has been purposely left open. Wo arc now called upon by Alabama to take a step in advance and put into our national platform that which she herself did not ask us to put there four years ago. [Applause.] It can not be said that she did not then understand the question, for the first resolution shows that she did. Why did she not insist upon it then? Why, my fellow-citizens, this

might be callcd Abolitionists and thc ad-

vocatcs of Squatter Sovereignty? Are yon afraid of nick-names? My opinion is, that thc Democratic part}- of the South

friends here have been so abused, reviled and maltreated by thc Abolitionists and the Republicans, that they have become alarmed and frightened out of reason when they evince a determination to abandon the old platform of thc Democratic party, and when they are seeking for some other contrivance iu which they may take shelter. Fellow-citizens, there is no refuge of that sort when the Democratic ship founders. Wc want no mutiny on board.— If you chose to abandon it, if part from you wc must, we will part from jou without anger, but in sorrow. I do not object on account of its involving the qaestion of slavery so much, as that I object to a renewal of a contest which has been onoe settled. I want the people of the United

States engaged in political discussions, to discuss and canvass some, other, question than thi§ everlasting one 'of slavery!— When nothingis to be:gained by it except ill-blood agitation, disturbance and disrupt tion of political organizations, it seem to me that gentlemen of the Southern States were never more callcd upon to rise above prejudice and passion than now.

SLATE LIBOR CHARLESTON*. The editor of the Rome (N. Y.) Sentinel in a letter to his.paper from Charleston, gives the following impressions of the system of slavery as exhibited in the condition of the slaves in that city

The city of Charleston has a population of some :60,000 inhabitants .what proportion of the above is colored I have, not the means at hand to accurately determine but judging from the number that is met daily in the streets, I should say that at least 40,000 of -the 60 Q00 are of the black race. Thc.most of the eolored pop ulation, though not all, are slaves. I learn that a number arc free and own slaves themselves. This may seem strange to many Northern people—especially to that class who cannot understand or appreciate that system of labor known as slave labor —in other words owning the scrviccs of another instead of hiring them.

I have seen nothing of slavery as it exists upon the plantations and but little of course as it prevails iu the city but from my observations whilst here, I am more full}" confirmed in the previous belief that the free States fail entirely to understand the system, as well as the views and feelings of the slave owners, but more

[Applause.]— We can not have all we want. The slaveholding States can not have every thing, and, therefore, thc State of Alabama fjur years ago, feeling as acutely upon that occasion as she feels now, admitted that it was just aud consistent with her safety aud consistent with her rights and honor to meet her sister States—non-slavcholding States—in common council, and to agree upon the compromise of Congressional non-intervention.

Thc system of slavery is looked upon here, both by the owners and the slaves themselves, as wc at the North do of any business transaction it is like thc apprentice system at thc North, where the master docs not think he is committing a crime to take an indented apprentice for a term of years—say from thc time he is ten until he is twenty one, nor docs thc bou^d apprentice consider he is disgraced or demeaned because he is thus bound out. At thc North a young man or young woman can be thus bound out to another by his father, mother, or guardian, until such apprentice is twenty-one, ami the person thus having the apprentice, has just as much control over him and his services, as the slave owner has over his slave thc one can be flogged or otherwise

furniture, &e., of the Johnson family, residing near Layfayette Square. The family consists of an aged couple and their grandchild, a little girl about eight years old. They are quite respectable people, and the disturbances which have occurred in their house have -been a great trial to them.

The first thing they noticed was that their salt dish' and popper castor were filled with water, then dishes commenced breaking they would raise from the shelves aud come to the floor with a crash tables would move about, and when loaded

household. One day, as .everything .seemed to be breaking up, Mrs. Johnson thought she would put some cf her most valuable articles of glassware in a pail and tio them to I thc side of thc house with a rope. Whilo attempting to do so, a colTec pot catnc from the pantr3' across the room, striking her on thc back. Calling thc little girl she told her to hold it down to the floor, while she tied thc pail thc child endeavored to do so, but her hands were twisted around, causing her such paiu that ahc was obliged to let go, when thc cofTce pot again bit

Mrs. Johnson, and as it came to the floor the handle came off. Jklrs. Johnson then threw it in the stove, cxclaiming III see if I can't burn thc witches out of it."—— One particular bed seems especially subject to strange influences the clothes will be taken off, rolled up and put under the bed and as for keeping straw in it, it is utterly impossible it will be thrown all over thc room. At one time Mrs. Johnson sewed up the bed with double twine, and with much satisfaction went to put away her needle on returning, what was her dismay to find thc sewing taken out and the straw flying about the room.

At first they were not much disturbed Sundays or evenings but about two weeks ago, 011c Sabbath morning, when Mr3. Johnson was alone, she sat down and began to read aloud in her Bible. Presently she heard a rapping on thc stove, llaving become accustomed to all sorts of disagreeable interruptions, she determined not to noticc it, but raising her voice, commenced reading in a louder tone but the rapping bccame also louder, and increased to such a degree that, finding her voice wholly drowned in the uproar, she at a a I

THE ROtTn'O CONVENT!©:*. The telegraph furnishes us with the particulars of thc winding up of thc Bolters' Convention. It made no nominations. It resolved to adjourn to Washington City, to assemble on Monday, thc lltli day of June, onc week anterior to thc regular NatioDai Democratic Convention, and appointed a commiutcc to prepare an address setting 5 forth their reasons for bolting. It is evident that no common sentiment controlled thc secedcrs. They appeared very much in the condition of the man who raffled for I thc elephant.
