Eight years had passed since the ropro ntativo Democrats from all the States met gother in a deliberative assemblage. In 100, at Charleston, they :net as political etnies rather than as party friends, Both )>thern01 and southern Democrats entered aat Convention in the spirit. of faction. A rge portion of the North 0camoe with tho tine of a man inscribed on their banner, o was a representative of Dotmocratio rinoiples, and in the view ofbissupport. 'a the truest. exponent of those prmociples at the country conttaino -. But their do. and for his nomination was moat by the c1utlh in the spirit of delatnce. Unwilling ass to be dictated to by the North became a attempt, or what was regarded as an tiempt, on the part'of the South to dllotato the North. ilgha words, fierce passions, igetr, htato, an open rupture, divIsIon and tfeat of the party, a bloody and devastasa nag civil war-theose were the sequteneos, d the downfall of southern polItIcal power tooend, What, that, end antd thto hIstory of oight oars preceding It In viow, the behavior of to southern delegations itn the New York onvention mtat havo Impressed all obsor, es as the hIghest possible expressIon of nod taste, gentlemanly breeding, and supo or comnmon sense...
