VOICE FROM KENTUCKY.
8 Colonel WILLIAMS. Of Kentucky, was introduced
s las .'a soldier under General Scott" and said:
My counrymen and country womcn-for the la
Xdies. God bless them here too: This vast assem-
8blageof Wings here to night ratiy the nominees
Bof the Wing National Convention, Is especially
Tgra,ypg to those who participated III the labors OF
G,hat body. Perhaps there never assembled conyen
q ton OF whom rested greater responsible
City Had il adjourned without harmonious and
kconcordant conclusion, who could undertake to
FLINT the evil consequences which would have grown
1out of it, and who could undertake TO estimate the
Nblessings which will flow from the broad national
gsprit which marked its deliberations from the be-
Xginning to the happy contamination! Ii ID espe-
8cially gratifying to the country that both parties
s. have placed themselves on national grounds
have read the reed Of the Democratic faith. While
Wtherc great many things which conceive TO
be unwise and mpolitc, am glad there is nothing
Escctional or unpatrotc there. Ii is good thing
when both parties can come to a solemn determ-
Nnation longer to cater to sectional prejudices
Hunworthy Of their respect.
There was an ancient custom among the tribes
lot Israel, scattered far and wide the face Of
y the earth, stated periods to come up to Jerusa
q lem to strengthen and renew their faith and com
81 pare notes, and If, in their long sojouf n
d, among the children Of darkness, any had depart
ged from the faith So with the Wings at Balti
:: S:more. From every section of the Union-trom
"A Maine to Texas. from Massachusetts, TO California ,
from the centre To the circumference of this
Hgreat empire-the Wings up to that great
Neouncil with some prejudiccs and distrust Of
Zone another, 1t Is true. They had combatted
with sectional interests, prejudicca, and passions.
& The men OF the North had been told the of
the South were banded together for the purpose OF
R laundering the bonds OF our glorious Union; the
Hmen of the South were told that their former
s,iriends of the North stood ready, with torch in
Hhand to set on fire the temple of liberty itself.
IA EThroughout the country there was a feeling OF ap
apprehension OF sone great impending national
Hcaiamity But when met at Baltimore, and
Qtook sweet counsel together, and exchanged our
Hopnons, and examined our faith, we found that
Ealthough we might differ in some particulars
(which regarded merely matters of opinion, yet, in
y the great doctrines OF our party, we had 'kep,
q the faith" Applause Distrust, suspicion, and
8prejudice, were everywhere dismissed, and the
Fl " higs Of the North Eas. South, and West gave
u to one another the right hand of fellowship, anc
Hswore the altar of their common country, "th,
Union OF the Wings for the sake Of the Union. D
II Enthusiastic cheering And with our hands
clenched thus. (suting the action to the word) we
will hold the Union together in spite Of all its ene
mies everywhere. Ghuzzas
Fl One two differences between the w hig and
the Democratic Conventions ehould be noticed
eve, in Wing Conv ention laid down first our plat
form, and then placed our candidate upon it. But
the Democrats selected their candidate first, far
from the North, and then erected their platform,
leaving Pierce to lind II out and get upon IL the
a best way he could. [Laughter.l General Pierce's
y biography has not yet been issued; but am
s. told by people from New Hampshire that he is a
gerry eiepsr gentleman. When, however, his
biography, perhaps may think well oft Laugh

make me aud you love him. Cries of ' No, .
