p. HITCHCOCK, Sec'y.
A committee of three was appointed to wait
on Mr. Wade, who, on taking the chair, retur-
ned thanks for the honor which had surprised
him in the discharge of his duties on the Com
mittee of Resolutions.
In his judgment this was one of the most
important assemblages ever convened in this
State. This Convention could not overrate its
obligations and responsibilities. He admitted
that events had taken place calculated to dis
turb and distract the Republican party. But
he was here to exhort to harmony. Every
one must sacrifice something of his individual
opinions to the general good.
He then referred to the centralizing and des-
potie tendency of the present Administration,
and alluded at length to the subject of slavery
because that he found that the al-engrossing
topic everywhere, and because our Government
was devoted to its support and protection to
the neglect of every other interest.
Up to the death of good old General Taylor,
slavery was purely local institution, but since
then, every effort has been made to make it ma
tional. The compromise of 1850 was the first
step, the repeal of the Missouri compromise |
was the next, and the system adopted to force
slavery upon Kansas the next.
He refuted the fiction that the Democratic |
party was the peculiar friend of the adopted
citizen, and declared that the sole end and aim |
of that. party was niger. They said they |
wanted Cuba-more territory. They really |
wanted moro niggers. Wherever nigger was, /
there Democracy was and wherever he was
not Democracy was not. The foolish and ex-
trayegant Mormon and Paraguay expeditions
were reviewed, and Mr. Wade closed by again
thanking the Conventiun for the honor they
had conferred upon him.
On motion of Mr.. Giddings, Mr.. D. W. G.
Ratlf was appointed to fill the place of Mr..
Wade upon the Committee on Resolutions.
