The Philadelphia
Press, with other Douglas papers, objects to any movement for calling back the
seceders [sic] from the Charleston
Convention, on the occasion of the adjourned meeting at Baltimore. The Press
says the seceders will not dishonor themselves by returning while their alleged
cause of secession remains; the majority who refuse to adopt the slave-code
policy will not dishonor themselves by changing their votes for such a purpose;
and finally as the seceders withdrew, as their withdrawal was accepted and the
convention requested their states to elect new delegates, the convention will
not allow them to come back to disturb its proceedings.
