pic OF New York would be as unanimous for il
now as he was
Mr. McKrNN,N, Of Pa. whose name had been

cd with respect TO himself that the nomination
had fallen upon greater and better man--a man
whose reputation could not be assailed even by
such a man Amos Kendall. The Pennsylya.

HUYsEN.
ALFREp KELLEY, of Ohio. said tha, his State
had nomnat joins DAVIS, because she had bro't
him into tho fed and because she could not hon.
orlby desert so honorable man. But she bad
been fairly overcome in Convention, and n State
would support Mr. FRELINGHuYsEN with more una
nimity than the State of Ohio.

1870 She would not be so in 1874.
Mr.. GREEN Of New Jersey, spoke earnestly and
eloquently of the learning, wisdom, piety, and pa
triotlsm of THEODORE FRELNGnUYsEN. New Jer.
sey had nominated him less than three months
since She had done so from no State pride, but be-
cause size know him wcll-knew him as man of
high and LOFTY character u man upon whose name
there was no stain-upon whose escutchcon there
was no dishonor. Wien the timid stood still and
the Jealous grew cold and HENRY CLAY was as.
sailed on all hands, Mr. FRELINGHUYsEN had stood
by him and never deserted him.
His father was always firm, decided, and un-
wavering patricia soldier of the Revoluton--a
brave aud patriotic citizen. New Jersey envied
New York that her favorito citizen now resided
there, bu, New Jersey would relinquish the honor,
if New York would honor him, whom to honor
would prove an honor TO herself This was the
first time that New Jersey had ever offered man
for tho sutTrages of the people, and New Jersey
would be grateful to this Convention Tor It's choice
and would stamp the Broad Seal" OF the State
in its favor.
Tho question was then taken on tho resolution
declaring MIR FREIlNoHuSsEN TO DO UNANIMOUSLY
nominated as tho candidate for the office of Vice
