Synopsis
Excerpt from The Issues Involved in the Presidential Contest: Speech of Hon. William L. Yancey of Alabama, Delivered at Memphis, Tenn., August 14, 1860
In the first place, I look to the Conventions that have lately assembled and in the course of my argument upon his platform I shall go back many years in the history of the Democracy to prove the truth of these assertions. When the Convention of the Democracy met at Charleston, Mr. Douglas was well aware that he could not obtain the nomination under the two-thirds rule, and his friends now throughout the country - and I instance one of the most eminent of his friends, Hershel V. Johnson, of Georgia, candidate for the Vice Presidency upon the Douglas ticket his friends, I say, indorsed by Gov. Johnson, say that had the eight cotton States remained in the Charleston Convention, that there was no possi ble chance of nominating Mr. Douglas. They admit that now, as then. Starting out with the conviction that the Democratic rule of two thirds stood between him and the object of his ambi tion, his designs were to dismember the Demo cratic party, and to do it in such a manner as, if possible, to wool the eyes of the people, and make them believe that others were responsible for its dismemberment.
