siding your deliberations, you nave made ms
take. am not accustomed to such position, ana
am entirely unfamiliar with parliamentary rules. Ny

called into the discharge Of The honorable duty now
assigned have, therefore, but little to sey, eX-
cent TO thank YOU for yOur preicrencea preference

hical antecedents than from any supposed personal
merit. I began hfe Jeficrsonian Democrat.

10 elect Franklin Pierce, and supported the
measures Of his Administration until the gross
outrage perpetrated Of the dist'UDance OF
the Missouri Compromise Then, fellow RepuoA

wrong had been committed, and ! frankly told Mr.;
Pierce nv opinion Democrats Of the South appealed

that beneath s evil influence the strong Democratic
party Of the North would be shattered into fragments
Such was the result, and am here now through that
wrong TO preside over a Republican Convention. My

relative such union and the result osuoh
conference 10 this Convention.
JOIN l.. TALCOTT moved TO refer the resolution TO
the Committee on that subject.
Mr.. BEALE could not see the proprety of referring
the resolution 10 the Committee. He thought all here
recognized the proprety OF doing here an act that VIII
insure the overthrow of the Black Democracy. APP
plause.l He would repeat the words of the gentleman
from Illinois this morning, and invite union OF all
men against that power. Today, a Convention OF
highly respectable gentlemen OF the American party
had met close by, and expressed sentiments ON the
que ston Of Slavery in harmony with those OF the Re-
pubhcans The Americans, by the action of the State
Council, had done much TO conciliatc the proposed
union. They asked no abandonment of principle on
the part Of the Republicans. They possessed them
selves principles of which the Republicans were

SAM HsANoxD hoped the motion for reference
would prevail. He appealed to the great heart OF
the Convention do act that could spurn the prot
ered union. 1t thing to nominate ticket

Mr. TAICoTT said he cordially sympathized with

always ready, however, TO bow TO the VIII of the
