Notwithstanding the deep and conflicting

no Convention, having such immense inter-
ests at stake, has ever sat for SO great q
length of time with the observance of so
great share of order and freedom from
personalities or offensive language. He
had endeavored most impartially and hon.
estly to fulfil the duties Of the Chair, and
if, in the excitement of the moment, he had
been led to use any abrubt language to
gentlemen, he humbly apologized. He
regarded this Convention as having in its
destiny not only the permanence of the
; Democratic party, but the question wheth-
er these great United States should con-
tinue and endure. He would not, howev-
er, relinquish the hope that the Union
would continue on to eternity, and he felt
confident that the Convention would ad-
journ to day with the determination to do
all in their power to restore harmony and
confidence.
