I friends OF Mr.. Chase, hencs there was
{ danger. The Know Nothing party did
/ not exist last year. Their vote went
1 with usi ii elected 81 Congressmen
here, and in other States aided the cause
OF liberty; but he thought, ia the trans.
formation Of men from tad poles there
D was more backbone being developed.
Cries Of stop go on. You can't, and
: shHn't talk all afternoon. This Con.
vsntion will be broken up, and shall bs
lif you don't stop!
Mr. Spalding. II this thing doea not
stop will move that Mr.. Chases friend
leave the hall.
Mr.. Smith. He did not wish 10 bora
his sensitive friends and would only say
word more. He was not the man 10
be ehoked or clamoTed down he was
an American citizen, and would like TO
have this resolution Adopted
Whereas, The result of the contest in
Ohio between the friends Of Freedom
and Slavery is of vastly more conseuue
ce to the people we represent, to the
country, and TO posterity than the fate
Of men, and whereas there seems TO be
a conflict as to men merely, which thre.
atens to destroy that harmony which
ought 10 prevail in this body, and TO put
in jeopardy the success Of great prin.
ciples; Therefore.
RssOlped, That we the representatives
OF the people of the State who are en-
listed in the cause OF freedom deem il
expedient TO withdraw, and do hereby
withdraw from the canvass for the Gu.
bernatOrial candidacy the names OF the
Hon. Salmon P. Chase and the Hon. ia.
cob BrinkeihoG.
Mr. Giddings regretted that any one
had taken SO extraordinary step 90 10
propose the withdrawal Of Mr.. Chase
because the Know Nothings would op.
pose him. He had no right to think SO.
He saw plenty Of men around him who
he knew to be Know Nothngs, and hs
thought they would support The nomi.
nees of this Convention. He begged
leave to offer the following substitute
ResOlpsd, That we, the members OF
this Convention, pledge ourselves that,
Irrespective Of all other parties and po.
li,Cal association we will contribute
our moral and political influence 10
sustain the principle and nominees Of
this Convention.
Mr.. Stanton said that the resolution
OF Mr.. Giddings placed the Convention
in verv awkward position. Very near.
ly half of the Convention would wish
to have an opportunity of voting ON Mr..
Smiths resolution, and oil nigh, pro.
bpbly desire TO vote for Mr.. Giddings
substitute.
Nj. Spalding demanded the vote BY
counties. Mr.. Bingham, although he
respected both the venerable gentleman
who had introduced the resolution and
iu substitute, yet for one he was un.
willing that the imputution should gv
forth that both Of the gentlemen named
in Mr. Smiths resolution were unfit 10
be balloted for. 1t were in vain TO re-
solve that principles should 60 forth 10
the world, and then refuse 20 uphold the
aim Of their standard bearer. am pied.
