ed the President elect to the chair, who was

fered by Rev. Mr.. Emerson of Fitchburg Mr.
Kellogg then addressed the convention, saying
he was not insensibe to the compliment paid
him in being called to preside over conven-
ton representing so large portion of the
people of the Commonwealth as to be unques-
tionably responsible for its government. He
alluded to the great and overwhelming need of
securing a change in the national administra-
murmurings would not do it; harps ringing
with lamentations, or hung on the willows,
were not the instruments of victory. Mar
shaling the hosts of opposition into a combined
force was the only way to carry the day. The
hour for preparing to march had come. TWAS
time for the music to strike up for the vari-
GUS columns to begin to mark time; for if they
would march to battle with the tread and as
surance of victory, they must keep step. AS
for Massachusetts,, she was sailing, as she al
ways had sailed, on the tack of freedom, an
example to all governments, and especially to
the national government. Her internal af-
fairs had been well administered, and the
present state officers had secured general
acquiescence in their policy. The present
Executive had performed his duties WELL and
had approached the most grave and responsible
duties with bold endeavor to serve the old
Commonwealth He proceeded to speak of
the relations of Massachusetts to the general
government, and of the services she had al
ways rendered to the cause of liberty at home
and abroad, and closed as follows S.
at is to restore the general government to
the spirit and practice of the fathers on the
slavery question, and thus restore peace and
harmony to the country; it is to rescue the
government from the corruption of which the
country is now ashamed it is to retrench the
public expenditures from one hundred millions
to decentand orderly use of the public money;
it is to render our industry a more effectual
support against the giant competition of the
old countries it is to aid Our long neglected
into tn IN Otfr nuhl do
main from the hands of specializing men and
corporations, and to dispose of they to encour-
age actual settlement; it is TO clear our coasts
and our character from the reproach of filbus-
tering marauders it is TO throw the mantle of
absolute protection over all our citizens, wher-
ever born it is to hold back our eager hands
from the forbidden traffic in the children of
Africa it is, in short, to have reformed gov
eminent, that the opposition propose to take
possession of it. And to the accomplishment
Of this great purpose, may the action of this
convention be studiously directed"
The address was frequently and loudly ap-
planded. At its close Edward L. Pierce of
Milton moved that the candidates for state Of
