Mr.. LANE on taking the chair assured the Convention
as friends OF freedom and friends of reemen that the
honor which they had conferred upon him far transcribed
any merits OF his lie thanked them from his soul for the
honor conferred upon the young State which he repre-
scnted The time, the place and the occasion-the ann
versary OF Bunker HILL and the vicinity OF Independence
Hall-all conspired 70 make the honor memorable. Il
was struggle for free labor free thought free speech
and freemen, and he hoped it would hearty res
ponse. (Appause.) This day nauguratcd in
modern American politics II naugurated the sovereignty
of the pcople-thc rule Of man-thc resurrection
Of the North. tremendous appause.) There was
to his mind great signilcation in these mighty
upheaves Of the masses sense Of common
danger had brought together men hitherto divided poll
tcay because they owed responsibility equal that
which they owed to freedom He had once followed tho
lead Of Of the glorious Clay Of Kentucky but since the
NeDTaskh PiSScu ateBance 10 Ou party
slept the Of the patriot Clay (Cheers Kentucky
had no voice in that policy
AyoicE.-She will be heard yet.
Nr. LANE-Yes she will be heard and we look for the
day When the sun shall shine On no slave North South

Necessity cr II. (Cfisers) Two short years ago peace
rcIgncd throughout the land The Compromise mca-
sures were quietly, submitted to them by the
cold and cruel calculation of hcartess and branless
dcmagogucs The ambition of Stephen A. Douglas opened
up airesh the agitation (checrs.) twas brought on
mre. as men. (Applause) Scenes had been enacted
IN kahsas which had parallel since the days when the
Goths md vandas overrah Italy But these things
tolerated bt the weak aud wicked administration Ia Wash
ington. Whether thHs administration fool or
knave let the Mise Gf History determine He referred
then to % the doings In KANSAS (Applause) They were
collected the history Of Barber, who, for daring 10
proclaim the equality. OF all men, was struck down
in cold blood, and whose widow now roanls ravIng
maniac round the ruins Of her prairie home. (Hsses)
Such rebellion as theirs was sanctiied by God and
man. The laws OF Kansas were vitiated by force
and fraud, and had binding effect upon any The
Bible OF truth was even ostracised by the Kansas es
aurc for so long he believed in the Immortality Of the
anslnvcry document. (Applaase) Why do the dem
Ccratc party disturb the Missouri Compromise He knew
not and yet, with an unparalleled eirrontery they pro-
cecdcd to PASS resolutions at Cincinnati to dscountenancc
the further agitation of slavery Their promise was
I" Like Dead Sea fruits which tempt the eye but turn
ashes the lips" (Applaase) So much for the party
and now FOR the standard bearer. He knew James u-
ehnan well, and had say against him except
that he bore the ederai banner to the last He opposed
the administration OF Madison, and opposed the war
OF 1872. When Mr.. Clay stood forth the champion
of that war, and raised the cry Of Free trade
sailors rights, whore their potent democrat then
The light that shonc about him was the light reflected
from the old warrior of New Orleans and he became 4
democrat, or anti Madison democra-an anti demo
crat From such democrats good Lord deliver us
But men say that II Mr.. Clay living he would
support such measure as the Nebraska bill. Such
SANDER SANDER against Mr.. Clay than all
those pcrretrated against him while he living If he
we're now alive hc would be with them. (Appausc)
Mr. Gays was the first arm and voice to welcome the
republic of Greece to the family of free nations Zap
pause And yet his great name was brought in to
tion these great wrongs So Also the name Of Mr.
Webster Let the wings leave that great " slumber
His whole life testified to his position on the sub.

that no personal differences would interrupt the harmony
OF the meeting He would follow the standard that would
be raised assured that there honor and triumph
the republican party. (Great applause.) There

have his opinions written that the world might read
them. He would preserve the Union by an efficient

United States Marshals, for he would proclaim every

But i the people Of the south loved their chains let them
hug them in their darkness. They called upon
