When the name of Missouri was called, Mr. said: Missouri did not come to this delegation pledged to any man. She came here for the purpose of electing a good democrat to the presidency. She came here instructed to vote for General Cass as the first choice of Missouri. She adhered to Cass so long as there was any chance of his election. The prospect is now brightening, and Missouri casts her nine votes for General Cass. The Louisiana delegation, which had retired for consultation, came into the hall and announced that the vote of the State was six votes for General Cass.

Before the result of the ballot was announced, Maryland, the eleventh State in the order upon the roll, having been called, The Mr. JERVIS SPENCER, of that State, rose and said: It is the desire of Maryland, as I am sure it is the wish of the convention and of the counry, that we should bring the deliberations of this convention to a result to-day. The eyes of this nation are anxiously upon us. public pulse is feverish. We were told yesterday that the chairman of the Committee on Resolutions was ready to present the platform. We want a leader to stand upon that platform, and unfurl the banner inscribed with our principles. Where is the democratic principle of compromise? If gentlemen hold with such tenacity to their candidates, when shall we have a result? Maryland has stood here to vindicate General Cass, but she has shown a spirit of compromise, and she has afforded every candidate a chance. With the same spirit elsewhere, in twentyfive minutes they can make a nomination which will be honorable to the convention and to the democratic party. He then announced the vote of Maryland for Lewis Cass. Virginia, the next State to Maryland on the roll, being called, had retired on leave to consult, and on returning to their seats the delegation, by their chairman, [Mr. Barbour,] announced that Virginia casts her fifteen votes for Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York. Mr. DICKINSON, a member of the delegation from New York, arose, and leave being granted, addressed the convention as follows, declining the nomination: Mr. D. said: I came not here to speak; but I should be much more or much less than human if I could sit here under these circumstances and be silent, or if I could rise to address the convention on this occasion without the very deepest emotion. I came not here for myself. I came as the servant of others, clothed with a high responsibility, which it is my highest duty to discharge. I came here not with instructions, but with a spontaneous feeling of expectation, stronger and deeper than instructions, that I would vote for, and use every honorable exertion to procure, the nomination for President of the United States of Lewis Cass, of Michigan. [Mr. D. was here interrupted by the applause following this declaration, and by numerous bouquets thrown from the ladies' gallery towards the speaker.] Sir, my life has been one of trial and vicissitude. I have been clothed with the highest honors that the sovereignty of my State can confer. I have seen the time when I have been covered with scoffs and reviling. But, amid all the varying scenes of my life, I have never felt myself in a position of trial like this. But shall I hesitate? Shall I doubt? Shall I waver? No, Mr. President. My duty is plain and clear. Never has mortal man, in my opinion, had the honors proffered him that I have had. From the time when I took my seat in this convention, against my own express request, men who never knew me, except by reputation, and who never saw me, unless they saw me here-men from a far-distant State-have cast a single vote for me, like the widow's mite into the treasury. Sir, I feel proud of that vote. I shall cherish it with my latest breath, as a rose-bud in the wreath of political destiny. But, sir, also against my express request, what do we see now? The land of Presidents, the ancient Dominion, has come here and laid down her highest honors at my feet. Sir, Virginia is the land of chivalry, the land of generosity, the land of high and noble impulses, the land that of all others would be the most willing to rescue me from anything that could stain me with the least imputation. Virginia would not ask me to take the nomination under such circumstances. As a compliment of the highest character, I shall cherish it to my latest breath. As a compliment unsought, and brought to me against my own wishes, it is the more valued. But when they see that I cannot accept a nomination here without incurring the imputation of unfaithfully executing the trust which my constituents have confided in me-without doing violence to my sense of propriety-without turning my back upon my old and honored friend, who expects me to stand forth for him here, as I do stand forth-can they expect me to accept it? Let me say to my southern friends whom I have met here, that I go home a wiser, if not a better man. I have met them here, and it has given me an assurance, an abiding faith, that "Truth crushed to earth, will rise again." May I not invoke my southern friends, when they see I cannot accept the nomination, that they will not ask me to do it? May I not invoke the Old Dominion, by all the history of the past, by the rich fruition of the present, by the great and abundant promises of the future, to come and stay up my hands, and to go with me for the nomination of Lewis Cass? They have said he was unacceptable to them. Range the country over, can you find a single individual that is acceptable to us all? Where can you find a man, in the whole list of candidates, upon whom |
