We copy from the Washington Repu

sldcnce OF the Hon. VIM. A. Graham; andl

nearly as follows:
FELLow-CIrI2rNs: | appear before you,

smeut Of this visit, and my congratulations
Ito the country upon the result of the dclib-|
CREATIONS of the Convention of the Wings of
sthe United States, assembled at Baltimore.
I Cheers.
4 As to my humble self, had no hope for,
BaS had no reason, no right to expect, this
3honor at the hands of the Convention; but,
Gas 10 the distinguished statesman and soldier
enthusiastic cheering whom the convcn-
gtion has selected as candidate for President
sot the United States, the country, or large
Sportion OF the country, had reason to cX-
spcct that the nomination would fall upon
Shim. Cheering. His competitors in that
aConvention were tried patriots; and, had
he nomination fallen upon either Of them,
Sthe Wings Of the country would have been
scqually well satisfied. Great cheering
y For my own part, with all respect to that
AIargc portion of our fellow citizens consti-
Ntuling the Democratic party, my hopes for
athe prosperity of this country, the stability
rs,of its institutions, and the perpetuity Of the
q Union, depend upon the ascendancy of
Swhig measures. Prolonged cheering.
