Capitol of the Union.

Sir, how busy time it is with the Far.

u may congratulate you too, sir, on the

Of | will make one more remark, Mr.. Pre-
ne sident. One of the most valuable result
OF Conventions, like this, is to bring te
l.. gether those who, by natural obstacles
are too far apart, and we have the pleasur
Of communing together. We have hear
to-day, sir, assurances Of what the Eas

Z, shows, Mr.. President, that the battle or
is always sounded loudest in that part
the State. 1t is true we have been somt

aspect of affairs; but when our frient

ing under the charge of Presbyterian clerg
Sc man, who was engaged in " teaching your
b. ideas how to Shoot" he had one lesst

or forget. "Be sure aerer TO begin, an

Dii iedpe of ,ciea you are done" Now, sa
!, Mr.. NJ. this is applicable, | think, to o.

J, something to say, and that having be-
Inc well said by others, we have done all tn
I'M it becomes US to do. The best mott,
