firing perseverance of the Wings of the last Con-
grcss. Obliged to contend alike against the folly
trcachery and corruption of men elected aswhigs, &
the open and deadly hostility Of loco fOcOsm, they
still labored on without ceasng' sacrllflcng every
personal feeling to promote the interests of the
country by the passage of the tariff bill The me-
morable scene in the House of Representatives on
the night OF its final passag, when all was supposed
lost till the gallant and noble STANLEY sprang to
the rescue, was described in glowing language.
DANIEL P. TYLER, Esq. was then called out
His bursts of eloquence and flashes Of wit and fun it
is utterly impossible to report. Cheers, applause
and shouts of laughter attended his address
throughout. We can only wish that whenever
Mr.. Tyler makes speech we may be there to hear.

G. H. HoLL1sTER were successfully called for,
and each addressed the convention in en- able and
eloquent speech. .-

passed unanimously.
The Hon. TRUMAN SMITH then offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which passed unanimously: :"
Resolved That the annexation Of the Republic o.
Texas "a foreign and independent State to our I'm
ion will be most lpable and aagIa iniraeon C6
the Constitution ofthe United States, alike ingSnss-
tent with healthfu administration OF governments
and dangerous to liberties, and must inevitably
break up and destroy our sf glorious lori Union
following resolutions, which passed unanimously:

candid approval, and ticket which we bellows they
can and will elect by large majority.
E. c. BACON, Esq. said he was about to submit
to the Convention resolution, which if adopted at
all, he wished should be adopted unanimously. Ii
any should be opposed to it he called upon them to
declare it. Mr. b. said he was persuaded that if
the young men came up in their strength to tho
work, if they went into the contest with enthusi-
asm and determination, success was certain. A
resolution Of this kind was passed in 1910, and
glorious convention at Hartford followed it. Mr..
