Mr.. T4ggart made the following remark:
Gentlemen Of the Convention: Il the honor
you have done me is to be measured by the
high character aud Intelligence Of this body,
or the political power and moral grandeur Of
the party it represents, then indeed it Is an
honor to be long remembered and gratefully
appreciated. Never before in the history Of
Peunsylvania, was political convention as
sembled together, under more favorable cir
having behind it so great a nu-
lnerical foree-aud proolailaing more glorious
and more irrefutable principles. see before
me the picked men of "a party which stands un-
changeab bly, and unanimously upon the broad
est practicable platform of human liberty, and
which av0ws itself iearleSslY and at all times,
the champion OF American interests and Amer
lean industry. Such Is the great American
Republican Party OF Pennsylvania, as strong
to-day n It's deathless principles, and stronger
to-day 10 the multitude Of its adherents, than
any party that ever existed ia the Common
wealth,--so strong that nothing short of inter
nal discussions, instigated by petty pique and
personal disappointment, can endanger its sue
cess. trust in God, no false hearted traitor
can Be found to strike the fatal blow. Three
years ago, because the great Opposition Party
OF the United States was divided, weak, bad
man was carried into power, against popular
majority of nearly loo, 600.
We thought il then terrible calamity but,
thank Heaven tor his weakness, be h8s proven
h,usef 10 be the most efficient ally our party
ever had lie has never omitted a siagle op- |
PortuGity TO increase cur strength and verify |

section of tie country are forced to exelau, ia |

in the paimiest days of their uaeiouded intel |

the false Democracy, as the cold-hearted, TIM
orous eld man, whom they have elevated 10
