Did the lightning strike any one else but j Philadtdphia Convention will 'receive his i: tUTcj.- j me j Great applause. j dial -support. . ' - cannot prove and The following is an extract of ihe speech of strike home. Mr. Yancey, ol Alabama, in the National Dem- ocratic Convention : We find the fu'Io "Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, j nor Morehead, of N Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, ! Richmond Examiner Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar-J '. y. kanas, Mi?ouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, p' r t i are democratic. They cast 149 electoral'votes. j n ?'0or' Mo" Can you get all these votes without a clear, ex- ! , "l. , , , ' plieil avowal of adhesion lo our constitutional ! .vV hm,Id Le 1 rights ? 1 know South Carolina her people j .beri"uP"n. a large, her statesmen their principles and feeling, j CUt . . 0,1 OV( r Her delegate here I say it, n. he knows, with S m,,C V.n hl -kindness and respect has assumed a fearml ! en.,,,JR:1,hIei responsibility in giving her votes to Gen. Cass. , ,d .,,,7d uf 1 11 . He ha?, as I humbly conceive, less influence j 31oreIiead in that Slate than any man who has had anv ' The man who v, pretentions to thc Presidency. It you pass a ' head's was a stu; ; rigid set of high-toned principles, there is but ! a bare possibility that South Carolina may vote ; fr the nominee. If she does not, you will be reduced to 140 votes, or six less than the num. her required to elect your man. Will Georgia . vole for your ticket ? At best, her political po- : sition is a doubtfu,! one; Never, I believe, has her gallant democracy been able to carry that State tvice in succession. Like the Irishman , and the' log, she is as often underneath as on ihe top ; and when she triumphs, n so wearied by the conflict," as often to be unable to enjoy the huits of victory. Without an avowal of this principle, I believe you cannot rely upon Georgia. If so, you are reduced to 130 elec toial votes. Will Florida vote your ticket ? I know her principles by heart. I know her , high-toned delegates. They have kindly given - me a seat among them during your session. more convenient than that allowed to me. Florida will never support General Cass wilh his present opinions unless you cover them j with an avowal of soch, thai" if he accepts, . Florida will have some assurance thai her rihl will he safe in his hand.
