SPEECH or MIR. RIyEs, OF VIRGINIA.
Alexander Rives, Ed. of Virginia was then
called upon, oud addressed the Convention as
follows:
Mr.. President fter the many eloquent ad-
hat bnva b.pn made here. 1t l. Win
great diid, nee tia, rise 10 respond to the call
that has been m ide upon ma But when | am
called upon in the name of the honored State
/ which represent on the occasion, ieel that
failure t. respond to that call would show want
| Of duty 10 the commonwealth honor and revere
Permit me to say that Virginia has the honor
of having originated the meeting OF the noble
band Of potrots by whom an surrounded -
| Applause.) 1t was in the darkest hours OF this
| campaign that n small band of Virginia Wings
met at the capitol of their Slate. What scene
was presented to their view; n scene To arouse
the solietude, the anxious solicltnde OF every
patriot, of every mau who respected government
aud law. Civil raging upon our Dor
lcrs and mob law prevailing IN one OF the
States ofthis confedelacy. What was the duty
of Wings convened together under clrcumstan-
ccs like these! Where could they look for tho
protection of the interests dearest to the heart Of
every Whgl Had they anything to expect from
that party who seeking 10 perPetuate power
in hands similar TO the dynasty that now holds
/ it, | care not what may be- the qualifications OF
James Buchanan statesman. The moment
he accepted the nomination of the Cincinnati
Convention he ceased to occupy his former posi-
/ ton, and : has been well said he ceased to oc.
cupy the position to which he mi sht have been
entitled from his former services. He sank into
II mere puppet; mere party PLATFORM 10 be man
aged at will by party managers. (Applause.)
