By Democratic National Convention

This is the "Minority Report of Mr. Stevens, Delegate From Oregon," documenting the controversy surrounding the seating of Southern delegates at the 1860 Democratic National Convention held at the Front Street Theatre in Baltimore. The report details the grounds upon which the regular Southern delegation believed they were entitled to seats and includes Mr. Leach's protest against their exclusion.

This historical document offers insight into the deep divisions within the Democratic Party on the eve of the Civil War, specifically the debates over representation and the growing tensions between Northern and Southern factions. It is a valuable primary source for understanding the political landscape and the events leading up to one of the most pivotal periods in American history.
