As soon as Mr.. Chase arrived, he was introduced
to the Convention by the President, aud spoke as
follows:
Mr.. President, and Gentlemen Of the Contention.
I know full we'll that it is because Of no merit Of
mine, that you have honored me with the nomina
ton which has been announced to mo by your COM
mittee, and it is this knowledge which exceedingly
enhances my sense Of the honor conferred, and the
responsibilities which it imposes. Ohio has many
citizens better fitted for the position in which you
would place me, and better qualified to bear aloft
the standard Of freedom during The approaching
political contest. Conceding, however, as | do, most
rhecrfully, to others superior abilities and better
judgments, l yield to no ono in superior devotion to
the great principles which you have this day pro
m~ulgatod.
On many public questions, now directly in issue,
| have had occasion heretofore to express my opin-
ions in various forms. Those opinions remain on
record and unchanged.
On the great issues now before the people, my
opinions are expressed in the platform you have
this day adopted.
The independence and sovereignty of the State,
, in her legislation and judiciary, must be asserted
and maintained.
The spread of Slavery, under pll circum.
stances, and at all times, must be infexibly re-
sisted.
Slavery in the Territories must be prohibited by
law.
On this point there is the most pressing need of
union and resolution. Kansas must be saved from
Slavery by the voters Of the Free States.
1t was my fortune to bear some humble rart in
the memorable struggle which issued in the repeal
Of the Missouri prohibition. Upon that occasion,
though among the most determined opponents of
the Compromise Of 1850, ! declared, in my place,
that ! would stand shoulder to shoulder with the
supporters CT those Compromises now just inferred
by that violation of plightcd faith for the redress Of
that last and greatest wrong.
i, l would do no injustice to the Slave States. All
t tue rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution
. should be fully and cheerfully conceded. What
ever can be constitutionaily done BIZ the National
n Legislature to promote their progress and improve
v ment, should be unhesitatingly and ungrudgingly
done.
We should insist only that, outside Of Slave
States, we should not be responsible for the main
tenance of Slavery and that the just and consti
q tutional influence of the General Government shall
e be exerted on the side of liberty.
n The question of Slavery in the States may thel
: be safely left to the States themselves. The hu
! m%anity, the Justice, the wisdom of the people, will
| trust, so dispose of it, that in the not far distan
future a day will come when the sun, in all hi
course over our broad land, from the Atlantic t
the Pacific, shall not behold n slave.

Hon. Benz. Stanton spoke oloquently in favor O
Gen. Mason's motion. In forming a new organ
i%zation, old prejudices must be sacrificed. w
