If the principles We desire 10 establish are
important, is there any reason, why we
should despair of success Shall We not
be ashamed to say that, in 1910, led on by
Harrison and opposed by Van Buren,, who

There is then, continued Mr. B. every

Mr.. President, SAID Mr.. Badger, and on
each member Of this Convention, TO bear
home with him a deep conviction Of this
truth, and let it be manifested by his con.
duct. The period his proptious-yes, sir,
IN my judgment, II is the rery period
And should The Convention adopt the Re

When Mr.. Badger had concluded, no
gentleman appearing DESTROYS to speak
Mr. Charles r. Eaton, of Granville,
said, tina, there was a gentleman in thai
Convention, the charms Of whose eloquence
had often delighted bis friends, when bold
~ advocating tho doctrines Of the Wing
party. No doubt, the Convention would
be greatly gra,ifed to hear his voice on
that floor, and he trusted that his friend
would not disappoint them. He alluded to
Col. William L. Long, of Halifax.
Mr.. Long, being loudly called for from
all parts Of the Hall, rose and said, that il
would give him great pleasure TO comply
with any wish Of that Convention, but be .
'ould not think Of disturbing the exquisite
of pleasure, excited by the mas.

lntil 4 O'Clock, and God would give him
health and strength, he would endeavor, as
ms friend from Berthe (Hr. Cherry) once
said, TO bring himself up ",o the speaking

MIR. Badger said, that the Convention
would, no doubt, do many things more diff

pleasure Of hearing the gentleman from
Halifax, but suggested that, before doing so,
he question should be taken on the adop
ion Of the Report and Resolutions. And
lie moved, while up, that the Resolution
