Town" $50 on with the presentation" and
great confusion. The Committee on Order
# Business has not yet been reported from;
shen that Committee reports perhaps tue
Convention vii find the adoption or rejec-
lion Of tpat roport viii settle the controver-
Y in reference to the appointment Of the
Committee on PLATFORMS and Resolutions.
The Chair-Ihe Chan holds that that
IS not pointof order IAppause.l The
question Is upon the resolution of the GEN
leman from California (Mr. Tracv.)
Mr.. Judd | would not, Sir, hate at
tempted to have made this presentation If /
had not supposed that | lad the unanimous
consent at this time Of the Convention
Applause and cries Of go on" 90 on."1
| was saying to you. Sir, that it was not
the wood or The Ivory on the silver, of which
that little instrument is composed, that
renders il valuable. Ii has, like tho Repub-
lean party, a history. IL is a piece 81 oak
taken from Commodore Peny's FLAG ship
the Lawrence Applause 1t is not
from its size that its power Is to be esti-
mated. 1t i, like the Republican rule
strong butnot noisy. Great Enthusiasm.
1t is not, that the Republicans require
noisy and violent government, or riot
to put down the sham Democracy; but
they require, and intend to apply to them
and to all those persons who seek disunion
and keep up a cry about destroying oht
|Goyernment, the little force necessary to
control and restrain them, like the little
force which will be necessary for you, Mr..
President, TO use in presiding over the de-
liberations Of ibis Convention. Great
cheers. IVA
There is a motto, too, adopted by that
mechanic, which should be a motto for
every Republican in this Couvention---the
motto borne upon the flag of the gallant
Lawrence, Don't give up the ship
Great applause MIR. President, ip present
ing this to you, in addition to the motto
furnished by the mechanic who manufac-
tured this, as an evidence of his warmth
and zeal in the Republican cause, would
recommend to this Convention to believe
that the person who viii be nominated here,
can, when the election is oyer in Novem-
Der, send a despatch to Washington IN the
language Of the gallant Perry, "We haze
met the enemy, and they are ours" Ter
rife cheering Voices ''Nanie, nalne."
Mr. President, in the beginning ] should
have named, Mr.. @. G. THOMAS, Of Chicago.
/ Hearty applause.
/ The President-In behalf of the Con-
vention | accept from the hands of the gem
teman, from Illinois the present made by
the Chicago mechanic; and | have only to
say to-day that al the auguries are THAT We
shall meet the enemy and they shall be
ours. Loud cheers.
