The thanks of the Convention were ten.
dered to the Officers aud Members of the
Legislature, for their kindness in granting
the use of the Hall: when the Convention
adjourned with three hearty cheers for
the ticket.
The ticket gives great satisfaction. Mr..
Phelps is from the West, and an Ameri-
can Mr.. Laporte from the North, and
Republican Mr. Cochran from the East,
and an old line Wing.
The harmonious manner in which the
proceedings of this Convention have pass.
ed off, augurs in the approaching State
campaign, victory for the opponents of
the present general administration. The
unanimity of sentiment, and care which
has been taken in the selection of State
ticket to harmonic all interests, and form
a solid, invincible column in opposition to
the so called Democracy, are worthy of
emulation in the States of New York and
Ohio, and we trust that they will 60 and
do likewise. Americans, Republicans and
Old Line Wings can by coalescing in State
contests, easily sweep the Sham Democracy
before them like chaf before the wind
We congratulate the members of the late
Union Convention, upon the harmony
which marked its proceedings, and the
consolidated opposition to the National
Administration on the cheering prospect
Of carrying Pennsylvania next Fall BY
overwhelming majoritiss. We will indeed,
have "Union for the sake of the Union"
