Mr.. Derry, on taking the Chair, was sauted
with the most overwhelming applause. From
his able remarks on the occasion, we take IN,
following manly sentiments:
In assuming the place which you have assigned r.
me, II Is becoming for me to state that although /,
may appear strange TO that the chairman of IN,
Calhoun committee should be the one TO act a, your
President yet dare do what feel to be right on mi.
as on any other occasion, and trust that all the de
mocratc young men OF tho country Of whose ar.
deney IN degree partake, will cast of the part,
shaekles which will cramp their energies and ietter
the noble promptngs Of their minds
The following certificate was then handed 70
