gentlemen, I am sure-pFohabiy more
than nine tvnaas Of ali these thus voting

Approbasion from single measures yet

which have already indicated.
Ths object Of those voting to lay the

Tbs. boar being late aad considerable con"
fusion consisting at the timos last On
the eve Of the Adjournment Of the Con-
yention-probably occurred to no one
and the tabiiagprocess took place. Such
being the position in which the matter
was placed, vas the moro dssiroas Of
myself, ia accordance With my views,
right upon tbs record, By Uott1g dtTect-
IN upon aas resolution aaad its tGDof --
as | miRht do in the Subsequent mssting
referred to. Hence mg connection With |
thsG meeting; which also re-atarmsd,
unanimously, and word for word, the !
Eesoluhons passed by the sIata UonVen- /
ton, with an emphatic declaration TO !
give TO its nominees . cordial support /
q declarations which took occasion &c /
the time TO make "a impressive gs Ian /
guAgs Of mIns could maks it; and which /
l meani theAs aad mean now, to live up .
to fully and thoroughly! There is no !
reason whatever for any "spiit" or d.
vision ia the Democratic party Of Iowa,
from aught that has occurred, within my
knowledge; nor, glad as our opponents
would be 20 see something OF Tbs sort
occur, and ready as they no doubt are TO
seize upon any thing TO produce it, have
I any idea that they will be in the slight
est degree gratiEed in that way. The
Democracy Of the State will, With an
undivided front, meet them, foot TO
foot, and lance to lance" in the coming
contest, and give them their very "bsst
fight % Our candidates, both upon the
State ticket, and for Congress, IN each
Of the Districts, are all men OF sterling
Of character, and well tried,
reliable Democrats. AmajorIty OK them
have known personally, aud several Of
them intimately, for many years, and
never get knew them TO falter in their
support Of the right There Is not one
Of them who will not, if elected, &s
irmly believe, honestly and faithfully
his daty to bis party and to tie
people
Two years ago our opponents, though
beaten upon the broader hsld Of the US-
ION, carried-for the benefit of the then
newly. born, spurious Republican par
ty, which owes its being to suan men as
Giddings, HALE & COmpany,-
our own young State, and even stormed
successfully, By dint Of clamor, audaci-
!y and treaeheFy, that strong citadel our
neighhor city Of St. Louis, Bat, al
ready the "sober second thought" is re-
suming It's sway and within the pres
cnt week, "routed horse, foot and dra-
goons," and with their colors trailing IN
the dust, they have been driven gnomin-
iouslv from that foothold
Fellow Democrats, inspired By this
brilliant example, which is nov being /
aG1led with joy all over the Union, los
US buckle on our arm Of f5T the aTproaSh-
.Bg contest, ami, on the second fuesday
in October, achieve, IN Iowa, victory,
by the side of which that Of our breth-
rcn Of St, Louis shall be counted as on
y Of secondary importance
Yours Very Respect fully,
