guage, suitably to convey to you, the emo
tions which your kindness and partlality
have created in my bosom.

and strength, and which other leaders, in
former years, have successfully carried,

but when the contest lowers, and it shall
be found necessary TO unfold its folds and
fling them to the breeze, it will be conce.
ded, that the nominee of this convention
is as competent to give it an elerated and
conspicuous position, as any other man.

ed from me, by the zeal and misrepresen-
,ation of our political adversaries, and

bear it, it shall be found in the van Of the
progressive Democracy, and shall never be
dishonored by being permitted to lurk be-
hind our principles, nor behind the spirit OF
the enlightened age in which we live.
] desire only to add, Mr.. President, that
with a grateful heart, | again give my
thanks TO every member Of this Convention,
over which it has been your good fortune,
with so much ability and dignity, to pre-
side. g..
