I know fall well that il is because Of no sre-I
ial merit or worth Of lnine that you have hon
ored me with the nomination which has been An-
uoaneed 70 me by your committee, and II is tl,s
knowledge which exceedingly enhances my sense
Of the honor conferred, and of the responsible
lies which IL imposes Ohio has many citizens
better fitted Tor the position IN which you would
place me, and better qualified TO bear slOlt the
standard OF freedom during the approaching po-
llitical contest. Coneeeding, however, as | do
most cheerfully 10 others Superior abilities and
better judgements, yield To no enc in sincere
devotion to the great principles which you have
this day promulgated.
! On many public questions net now directly in
issue have had occasion heretofore 10 expires
my opinions 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 adOIted.
The indel cadence AID sovereignty Of the
States, in her legislation and Judiciary, must bC
asserted and maintained.
| The spread of slavery, under all circumstan-
ices, and at all times must be inhexibiy resisted
Slavery i'll the Territory must be prohibited
by law.
On this point there is the most pressing ncet
of union aud resolution. Kansas must be saN
ed from Slavery BY the voters Of the fre'
States.
1t was my fortune to bear some humble par
, in the memorable struggle which issued in TN
repeal of the Missouri prohibition. Upon tina
Occasion, though among the most determined
Opponents cf the Compromise of 1850, dec!ar
ed in my place that was ready to stand shoul
der to shoulder with the supporters of thos'
Compromises, now justly incensed by that VIC
lation of plightad faith, for the redress oi that
last and greatest wrong.
4 In this spirit anu prepared to act to-day
Side by side with all men whe are witilng u
unite with me for the defense of Freedom, an
ready tn contend to the last for the rescue
the Territories from Slavery.
would do no injustice 10 the Slave States
All rights guaranteed to them by the consutu
ton should be fully aud cheerlully conceeted.-
Whatever can be constitutonally done by th
National Legislature to promote their progres
AMI improvement, should be unhesitatlngiy am
ungrudginSy done.
! We should insist duly that, outside of Slay
States, we shall not be responsible for the main
tenance of Slavery; and that the just and con
stitutional influence Of the General Government
shall be exertct Oh the side Of Liberty.
The question of Slavery in the States ma
: then be safely left to the States themselves. =
The Humanity, the Justice the Wisdom of th
people will, trust, so dispose of it, that IN tn
: not far distant future II day will come when tn
Sun, in all his course over our broad lane
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, shall not b'
e hold q slave.

himself to speak in every county in tn
a State in support of the ticket, and prom
