Mr.. Highly, on taking the chair, said he had
not anticipated such an honor. He had look
ed for Presiding officer from some other To-
cality, who might bring into the chair more
parliamentary tact and ability than he could
hope to master. We had met to give aid and
countenance to the doctrine of Popular Sove-
reignty. This was the great principle for
which we were about to make up our plan of
battle to-day in old Calaveras. Speaking as
true and constant Democrat, he was proud
to recognize in this body, many with whom,
in days gone by, when Democracy had a
meaning which the people understood and
loved, he had worked shoulder to shoulder,
in the cause. If there are those who once
acted with US, now politically against US, it is
by no fault of ours that we are at war. If
they are numerous aud insidious, so much
greater are the reasons for bold and manful
struggle on our part. That noble principle
for which we contend is worthy noble de-
fense. In the nominations that may be made
here to-day, and in the further action of this
Convention, let there be strength and harmony
displayed and when we shall have presented
to the working men, the true Democracy of
the county, ticket of men who sympathise
with labor and whose hearts beat with the
people, let US, then, gentlemen, 60 forth with
sword and shield to the fight, and we shall
conquer in spite of all opposition. In conclu-
sion Mr.. Fl. thanked the Convention for this
distinguished token of their regard. APP
