from the beginning, thé tono and character

manner, wero almost insupportable- to ai>y
man of spirit who chose to differ with Mr.
Douglas in the construction which lie1 litis
been pleased to givo our common consti-
tution.
It was cloar to every one. that it was a
part of the tactics of the squatter sover-
eignty men to drive the South out of the
Convention, upon the supposition, that by"
ridding the Convention of this element, the
1'pniination of their candidato would fol-
low, ,md that the Southern States would
repudiate the act on vof their delegatos—
tamely submit to the outrage of their deai'-
cst principies,—and support their nominee.
Tho Convention of Southern delegates
was charaotc-rizod by a perfect spirit of
harmony; many of tho delegates were men
of tho first ability, f hero was tho utmost
prudence couj/'ed with a firm and decid-
ed determination to stand by tho rights of
their States under (ho Constitution, mani-
fested in their councils.
No inflammatory speeches were made,
or threatening resolutions passed ¡ the
business of the convention was" conducted
with the utmost order, nnd everything in-
dicated that those who were in the con-
vention, were men acting- from a moral
conviction of imperative duty, arising from
a wantori and unmitigated violation of the
rights of thoso whom they represented.
I trust the democracy of Texas will have
tho moral courage to support their dele-
gates in their action. It is anticipated
that thjs movement of tho Southern dele-
gations, will be deneminated as a di-suubjn,
or ultra sectional movement. Such is far
from the ftct; those who engaged in the
Southern Convention, were actuatwl not
latid'fiir.hlst
before the fir's!
