Mr. President and Gentlemen-I cannot but
feel and be deeply sensible of the honor which
you do me, by calling upon me under these cir
cumstances, and at this time; Ireioice as much
an any man can reioicen the opportunity afford
ed us Of coming together this day, in this noted
city of Worcester noted not only for its beauty
and prosperity, but destined, believe, to be en-
inently noted in the future history of our coun-
try.
When, four years agowe met in this very Hall,
feeling compelled to come together by the cir
cumstances in which we were then placed we
came determined to do our duty, but still with
trembling hopes and fearful hearts. Upon that
occasion we raised here banner which from that
day to this, has never been furled, and has never
suffered disgrace. 1t was to be hoped that be-
fore another four years had rolled around, cir
cumstances might so change, that instead of
standing as a separate organization, we could
have the greater advantage and privilege of work
ing for our principles, and to give them greater
success and force, with one or the other Of the
great parties of our country. But unfortunate
ly-sad is it to contemplate-that hope is entire
ly Frustrated, and fidelity to what we have done,
and to what we wished and hoped to do, requires
us again to meet here, upon this, our rallying
