X. B. Pope, OF Jefferson
A. ". Palmer Of jackson.
The President on taking the chair, addressed
the convention in a short but very appropriate
and forcible Speech in which he adverted to the
Importance of the trust delegated to them by
the Democracy of Iowa; urging upon them the
necessity of harmony and good feeling, and ex-
pressing the hope that local and personal prefer
ences, SO natural upon such occasions, should
not be SO far INDUCED as to endanger the inter
ests of the great party for which, they had been
called to act.
