And now, this preliminary business
over, The welkin rang again with long
aud loud and cheering shouts. Mr..
Clay had arrived and taken his place on
the stand. When the commolion pro-
duced by his appearance had subsidized,
and order was proclaimed by the Grand
Marshal, Mr.. SchenCk, in behalf OF the
Committee, and Of the Wings of Ohio,
presented and read the following dec
IaraliOn and resolutions:
Among a people, free themselves, and
determined TO transmit, unlmpaired, to
posterity, the same great inheritance Of
pc pular rights, the selection Of THEN
agents. from the highest Office 10 their
gift, to those Of the Ieust importance, is
The dearest to them; it is their free gift
and no man, who values the true spirit
Of republican Institutions, should lightly
tbwart the popular will, when that ar
bitter Of all most cherished by freemen,
like the rush of mighty waters, pours
itself along in an irresistible flood Of
unbought, enthusiastic affections.
In this spirit, the Wing masses Of
Ohio, this day, have met to welcome
their brethren ofKentucky. The good,
the great, the patriotic Of both States,
now contend, as they have long strug-
gIed, uutorriied and unsubdued, for the
same great principles Of national policy.
The Wing masses Of the two States
are also animated by a like undivided,
unanimous opinion as 10 the individual
10 be selected Tor the consummalion Of
those principles.
Res0tUCd, therefore, That the Wing
masses here assembled In The voice of
numbers, never before equaIDed on the
American continent, announce to their
Wing brethren Of the Union, H. CLAY,
Of Kentucky, the long cherished, the
muster spirit the incorruplibIe statesman
Of The Great West, as thor candidate for
The Presidency in 1874.
ReSOlved, also, That tho Wings of
ohio, here assembled, made painfully
Of the importance of looking
hereafter with equal care to tho charac-
err and qualifications Of him who may

government Of The nation, do nominate
$ their candidate for the Vice .Presi-
ency, john DAVIS, Of Massachusetts. a
distinguished as well for his stern.
tactical honesty and known principles
for his long end valuable services;
nd as their first choice for ihatsstation,
icy propose him to their brethren Of
.entucky, and Of the other. States Of hi
Mon.
ReSoiUed, That as the best guaranty
lat Ohio can give TO the other States,
tho dete rminntiOu to maintain and
lrry out Wing principles and measures,
will elect THOMAS lC0RWIN
gain our Governor.
The reading was frequently inter
lpted by the most hearty cheers from
10 vast multitude, and especially when
resolution nominating Mr., Clay for ,
re Presidency, was there such a burst ,
I enthusiasm and feeling as was only /
qualled when at the close OF the read
", Mr.. Schenck introduced that great ,
IOtesman and Governor of all Hearts

announcement than TO point at
i'm as he rose before them, and pro. ,
ounce the single name-"CLAY." ,
We cannot, we need not, attempt any
crount OF the speech with which, for
n hour aud a half he held every per.
in that crowd enchained in listen

ny it was worthy OF his fame. We
