JoBn 7. ADAMS, OF Noraich. was next called
for He said he had been surprised and paned TO
see that no mention had been made OF the candidate
for Vice President. and asked il William l. Dayton
bad sunk 30 low that none would do him reverence.
He spt Ike in the most glowing terms OF bis ability,
and demanded that all who glory in the name Of
republican should have the courage to speak his
preferences. He did not wish to be considered as
opposed to union Of ell the friends of freedom, but
he wished to have II done in q manly way. II such
spirit should have been manifested, the American
party would have met them nobly and with respect.
He moved therefore that the name Of William l..
Day ton be appended to the 9th resolution Adopted
The amendment was opposed on the ground that
the Convention was not exclusively republican, and
as the main object of the people was the election of
John c. Fremont, the attention ought not to be dis
tracted from that end.
Mr.. HAwLEY thought that all seemed to labor un-
der misapprehensi0n. The Convention at Philadel-
Of all political parties, of which this Convention
legitimate successor. He favored the amendment
OF Mr.. Adams as the only manly course to be pursued
Mr.. WHITE followed in the same spirit, and claim
ID that nothing less that such an expression Of pre-
ference was to be expected.
After further discussion the amendment was
adopted, and three cheers were given for Fremont
and Dayton.
Mr.. HAwLEy, of Hartford, was called upon to ad
dress the meeting. He said he did not feel like
alkng to such an intelligent embly; he preferred
alkipg to den ocrats, whom he felt sure he could
ell something new. He then spoke Of the influence
making it give up, one by one, their cherished
principles until all were deserted. Such an
abatement was shame to the American people,
and would not be permitted longer. 1t was not
possible for any party to keep the same position
in favor of slavery for ten wears, as the ne
cessity Of such system demands frequent change.
He referred to the Sublime impudence" OF party
