It was to this end that they forced throngh the Bsnate oí that year the Jeff Davis platform, whereby Mr. Douglas and his iViends were virtt'aily rea.1 out of the democratie party. It was ta this tint that they deliberately and deter ïiiineJIy co:npleted the overt.hrow of that party by bolting from the CharlesIon Convention and nominattng Breekimidgo and Lane agninwt Dotigias and JohiVfiOfl, Al!
