Robert P. Dick, Esq..
This gentleman is out again in a long letter
ne "democracy ot the lifth Uongres
;sipnai uistnct. lie enters into a minute
.explanation of his; conduct, as a delegate to
-tqe Rational Convention which, is uncalled
,fpr, as his conduct or motives has not been
.assailed; but it may bo presumed, that this
.scoud pronunciamenlb has been suggested
.by a secret consciousness that bis pubiic con-
duct requires! explanation or defence,- per-
uaps both. We have no fault to find with
Jum for his boldness, in thrusting bis string
predilections in favor of his near kinsman;
jVIr. Douglas, cfn tho Democratic patty of
,tpis- fctate, bu we do complain, that while
..claiming to exercise the widest latitude m
,the exercise of his own political opinions, he
denies the same liberty to all who refuse to
ubow down before his. political idol Jt is un
necessary to tollojj; him through; bis remarks
,uppn Congressujl Intervention, in which he
merely loUowsTihe trail of ,his leader through
Jibe foggy sophisms land clouds of verbiage.
which Mr. Douglas loves to clothe his
-squatter sovereignty" heresy. But there
.are a few salient poipts inx' his letter, which
we will notice, that bur readers may perceive
how much cautoa must be exercised, before
jitatemenfe. He asserts, " Douglas had tico-
thirds of 'the votes bf the Electoral College,
and cJl the votes cast in the regulaf Conven
tion.". How '-stands the published record?
It required 202 votes to elect, and the high
est number received by Mr. Douglas was
181 J, being 20 J votes short of t two-thirds!
'here were pnly 19G electoral votes in the
pouglas Convention, and of th's number,
were cast for Jircckinridgc and-Lanei 7
So much forjNlr. Dick's historical accuracy.
b ' ' ' Mr. Dick lays prodigious stress 04 the fact
-that Mr. Douglas had a majority in the Con
tention, and argues from thence that he was
.entitled to the nomination, as the majority
.ought, to rule. Yet be repudiate the same
:rule, when applied ti himself as a member of
. -the .North Carplina delegation ; there he was
. ;in a minority, and would not yield! Can
. .presumption go'further, tnan to demand that
.'delegates from sovereign States should sub
jinit to a majority rnlo, which Mr. Dick bim
self repudiated, when he found it adverse to
--the interests of ..liis-ambitious relative ?
Mr. Dick denounces the supporters of the
Breckinridge; ticket, as seccders from the
Democratic organization; perhaps a close
investigation might make it 'evident' that his
.own claim to be copsidered as a regular mem
ber of the'NJ C. Democracy is, at best, very
questionable. The State Convention, in its
second resolution, declared that a Territo
rial Legislature had not, directly or indirectly,
s powerS to annul or impair the Constitutional
,-jriglit of any citizen to take his slave property
' ;into the common Territory. Mr. Douglas
juvowsjind maintains that the Territorial Le
gislature has the po-.Vv':r denied & in the reso-(lution,-
iMr. Dick sustains Mr. Douglas, and
-undoubtedly places himself indirect opposi
ijtibn to the decisiop of the supreme tribunal
".of the. Democratic .party-in this State. If
- Messrs. McRae and -Bledsoe have been pro
perly denounced as disorganizers for opposing
he platform ?f pripeiples adopted by a State
Convention, in wliat respect are they worse
- .than Mri Dick ? If we compare the evils
; -jthat might follow iri the train of " Distribu
tion Kti& Adahrfrm'' with those certain to
'.follow Squatter Sovereignty, their defection
jfiinks into insignificance iu comparison 0 the
.clierishcd heresy of Douglas, the favorite
jcandidate of Mr. Dick. Is'it not the very
acme of self-delusion for a gentleman of Mr.
''iDicVs dubiousolitical standing topronoun.ee

would imperil the Union and disorganize bis

could give good reasons for our belief that

Breckinidge,,' because he is not thk regular
nominee; of the Democratic party. It is
strange a gentleman of his acumenfdoes not
perceive that Mr.j Douglas is in . the same
predicament, only a "minority nominee. '
So far -both stand upon the same ground ;
but while Mr. Dick is so fastidiohs about
supporting 4 an unauthorized and irregular
nomination," which has received the support
of nineteen out of 'Jtwenhj of the State-delegation,
he has not 4k sliffhtest hesitation in
supporting Mr.'Tohison ms Vice-President
whose Dame was Derer before any !onven-
tion, and who received the nomination from
a few friends of Mr. Douglas . in the I parlor of
a Hotel in Washington City! after ilr. Fitz
patrick's refusal to accept ! What admira
ble consistency ! What a striking illustration
of " straininz at a nat and .Rw:il1nu-incr' a
camel." We fear that Mr. Dick, lite Trusty
Tomkins, in the novel of Woodstbck, ima
gines himself to have attained a poiht of per
fection that places him above the observances
of ordinances and prohibitions, which are
only binding on common folks, such as the
supporters of Breckinridge and Lane; and
beneath the notice of perfect Democrats,
such as Messrs. Dick & Co. AVe humbly
submit to Mr. Dick's superior political sanc
tity, that if, he entertains doubts ' of Mr
lireckinridgeiv8 being theregular nominee, it
is only reasonable to allow political sinners,
like pursclf, the privilege of. doubting the
validity of . parlor nominations. He cannot
contend that Mr. Johnson has received a
regular nomination, and if not, the 'Douglas
tickctus irregular, in fact a bogus on so. fir
as the I Vice-Presidency is concerned. It is
evident that Mr. Dick can see th mote in
his neighbor's eye, and not perceive the
beam in his own."
There are other points we wou'd like to
notice, but- have"' not space to spare, but we
haVe pointed dufr sufficient to prove that Mr.
Dick is not qurte such a perfect Democrat as
he imagines, and that it is probable, if right
should take place, instead of being a Mas-'
ter in Israel,'' passing judgment , on his se-
f 1
mors in years and services, ana superiors in
judgment and, intellect, he would

few short weeks will dissipate all such ill
omened alliances, and Democrats will present
a united front to the common enemy. '.. We
cordially endorse all that our brethren of the
State press have said of Mr Dick's amiable
character in private life, but our sense of
public duty compels us to protest against his
ill-advised' public course, which will even
tually end in placing him upoj record, as
anything but friend to the Sout;i-to the
State or' to the party, of which he claims :o
be a member, "while acting he part, that a
bitter enemy to it, would advise and direct.
We admire his "pluck' and energy, and
.have ' endeavored to express our disapproba
tion of the object upon which they are ex
pended, in language as strong and decided,
as is consistent with' the respect due "Mr.
Dick as ahigh-toned private gentleman.
The Virginia Conventions.
.We give an abstract of the proceedings of
both Conventions. It will be seen, J with re
gret, that there was no arrangement or
reconciliation, and, therefore, the State is in
danger . of being carried by the Bell and
Everett party. For.this result the. Douglas
itcs alone will be responsible ; theyj rejected
a fair proposition, founded on the republican
principle that the majority should ruje. But
this would n)t suit the "rule or ruin," policy
of their leader, and the proposition was ex
pressly declined. , . .
f The Charlottesville Convention appointed
a Committee - of Conference, of which the
Hon. AVm, 'Smith was Chairman." He open
ed a telegraphic correspondence with the
Douglas Convention in Stauuton, bjr propos
ing that ' ' the majority of - the Democratic
vote of the State, should control her vote"
Tbi3 fair proposition was passed .over in si
lencc and a counter-proposition made, not on
th authority of tho Dou-glas Committee of
Conference, but on the inIicidual responsibi
liiy of two of its members. Their proposi
tion was, .-:,the electors, if elected, to cast
the vote? of Virginia for Breckinridge if be
can be elected by said vote, for Douglas if he
can be elected I by said vote, the vote in any
event to be cast for the strongest man out of
Virginia!' This was considered j-adically
objeclionjable, as it totally disregarded the
rights off the majority, and placed the mino
rity on 'an: equality with the majority. . It
also. made, the vqte of Virginia de pendant
upon the action of her sister States ind per
mitted it to b cast in opposition to the vote
of the majority of her citizens. Mr. Smith
insisted on an answer ta his first proposition
Thut the electors should cast the vote of the
State in conformity with the will of the ma
jority. This proposition1; was officially re
cognized, and explicitly, declined, and there
the matter ended. . .
V If tho Douglasites are. conscious of having
atraajority of votes, why did they decline the
fair nroDOsitiou' made them ? Is it not evi-
dent that they know themselves to be in a
minority, and are only endeavoring, ty di
viding the party's strength, tOf give the State
to Bell and Everett, and thus lessen Breck
inridge's chancea of election ? , Will the great
body of the Democratic voters of ''iinia
lend their support to such a scheme f We
feel certain they will : not, and the '
Vpf
ruin paxiv win una taemseivos in -?
ber m a miserable minority,

and I doubt whether, in tep of the Ainties
around us, ten persons could be foutl who
would dissent. from his views on this dint
He is not in favor'of Congress intfering
directly with slavery in the TerritM'es, on
pretence of protecting it, or on uj other
pretence. 'But he holds that the slaveholder
has a right to take his property tq the Terri
tories; and any law of a Territory, ienong to
impair his right or deprive him of it, volutes
the Constitution. That the proper ledress
against such laws is by an appeal to the
Courts. And that when the. Court! have
decided in' his favor, it is the duty of the
President to have the .decrees execute!. If
the President has not sufficient means under
existing laws, it is the duty of Cong-ess to
pass laws giving-him such add iuonal weans

Mr. Breckinridge was n Cngresp and
aided in the passage of the Kariras ai Ne-
braska bill. He has never -said tat b31 was
a cheat or a 'delusion. He staad icrt the
great doctrine of Non-Interventioi, as embo

In the Convention that nomiAatel him
there were persons so extreme in their views
as toylemand that Congress shall p3es "Slave

Convention which nominated Mr. pell the

our fellow-citizen Mr Graham", showing
that there must have been many fiesoilers
in that Convention. :WThat would: our oppe-

3Ir. Seward's First Campaign .Speech;
On the evening of the 13th iustant,. Mr.
Seward arrived in Boston, and was received
in a most enthusiastic manner. He was in
troduced to the people by. Governor lJariks,
and addressed them from the balcony of the
Revere' House. After alluding to the gra
cious, reception he met with in his journey
through New England, he alluded to the
services of Maine, Vermont, and New Hamp
shire, but claimed that none were earlier in
the field' than New -York,. But he acknow
ledged that he .had "studied the interests of
his country and humanity in the school of
Massachusetts." The closing portion of bjs
speech we give below, copied from the Xew?
York Herald, and call particular attention to
the italicised portion of the speech. Ue
avowp that tne last stage of the conflict ls
arrived, declares that Lincoln, like Quincy
Adams', is governed by the ' higher " law.!'
Comment is unnecessary ; very true Soa
th era man musji be convinced that the ek
tion of Lincoln will precipitate a revolutioa,
the end of which, is only known to Oninisr
cience. The italics are the Herald's, not
ours.

far from this season, when a distinguished
and venerable tatesman" of Massachusetts
had retired to his. hOuie, a few "miles in1 the
suburbs ot your city, under the censure, of
his fellow citizens, driven home to his quar
ters by the pelting.8 of remorceleas pro-slavery

and thence I have derived, every resolution,
every sentiment, that has animated and in
spired me in the performance of my duty as
a citizen of the United States, al this timet
I know, indeed, that those sentiments havi
not always been popular, even in the States

my own State if it were not that some demo
crats I have. heard make strong claims upon
the popular Vote in the State of New York.
I have not often been mistaken, and I there
fore venture to correct these remarks of
others (laughter and applause) by saying
to you what I said td the republicans of
Maine, .when they told me that it was mod
erate enoagh to say that they have twenty
thousand majority for Lincoln and Hamlin,
but that they had- some uneasiness about the
State of New York that they might set
down their majority in Maine at .their own
figure, and then multiply it by four, and
taey would approximate the majority in the
State of New York. (Loud cheers and cries
of "Good.") But I have the same testi
mony to give you substantially in relation to
all the free Stetes together, with the assur
ance that, for the first time, this banner will
be unfurled in safety in many of the slave
States. ; But let not your thoughts or expec
tations be confined to the present hour.
tell' you, ftllow citizens, that with this victory
comes the end of the power of slavery in the.
Uxdted States. (Cheers ) I think I may
assume that a democrat is a man who main
tains the creed of one or the other branch of
the democratic party at the present day!
Assuming that to be so; J tell you, in all siu-

States is born. (Great laughter and; cheer

Official Vote.
As the official vote has not yst been pub
lished, we withdraw our table; until we can
procure a correct "copy. The majority of our
Democratic exchanges agree that Ellis' ma
jority will exceed six thousand, which will be
a gratifying increase on the numbers pub
lished. The, list of the Members of the Le
gislature, ou our first page, has all the now
members names printed in italics. Our rea
ders will perceive at a glance that he Legis
lature is completely revolutionized. The
great majority are new men, fresh from the
people, unconnected with the ' old cliques,
and we hope free from those personal influ
ences, which are seldom exercised for the
public good. We have great hopes of the
approaching session being one, in which the
interests of the great mass of the. people will
be attended to, by the introduction of such
salutary reforms, in our revenue bill and
public expenditure, as will satisfy every rea
sonable advocate of " equal taxation." Be
fore its meeting, we will take an opportunity
of suggesting some items which could be al
tered with great advantage, at once relieving
the working classes of our citizens, without
seriously burthening any other. We allude
in particular to the tax upon incomes as low
as $500, vhich is a heavy burthen upon in-
uiviuuais not wen auie to ucar it.
