Mr., Spaulding then came forward, and
in speech of thrilling eloquence. re-
turned thanks to the convention.
In accepting the station he knew not,
lie said,why he should feel embarrassed,
but so he did feel He once presided over
the deliberations of the popular branch
of the Ohio Legislature, and in troubled
times. 1t was his fortune then to see a
blow struck at the Constitution, but it
proved of no avail. This Convention is
composed of more members than the
body over which he then presided, and
among its members, it contains talent and
devotion to the country, rarely seen. To
this fact, to the intelligence around him,
to the strange times into which we
have fallen, (Mr. S.)attrbuted the en-
barrassmen the felt.
The spirit of Revolution is abroad
in the land. BY the mad acts of The ma
jority in your last Legislative Assembly,
that spirit was raised and fostered, for
he(Mr. Spalding) felt, that the blow of
revolution was struck, when, without law,
without right and in defiance of the Con-
stitution,an attempt was last winter made
reorganize the law making power of
the Government so as to take the power
from the majority and to give it to mi
nority of the people.
This Convention has met, as Conven-
ton of safety-to shield the State from
the effect of these acls,-to guard the
rights of the people. The Delegates are
fresh from the people-they know their
wants, their feelings and their wishes,
and they are here to represent them, and
