and invite him to the Convention. Car

Mr.. Wilson, of Branch, Larzelere, OF
Lenawee, and Altman, of St. Joseph,
were appointed such Committee.
Mr.. Croswell, of Lenawee, offered
the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That we, the constituents
of Hon. Henry Waldron, our able Rep
resentative in Congress, do hereby ex-
press our unqualified approval of his
course in the National House of Rep
resentatives, his record showing that
during the the five years he has served
us in that body he has ever been an
able and faithful exponent Of the views
of his constituents, that i'm all emergen-
cies he has proved true to the trust we
have committed to his charge and the
principles We advocate that in his
whole career he has exhibited indepen-
dence, manliness, promptness, zeal, and
a due regard for the interests of the
District he represents and that to his
firmness, ability and faithfulness is to
be attributed, in great measure, the
fact that the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Michigan is to-day one of the
safest and most loyal in the Union to
the principles of the Republican party.
q Mr.. Coe, of Branch, moved that a
Congressional Committee be appointed
to serve for the ensuing two years.
The delegates from the several coun-
ties, selected the following gentlemen
as such committee. i'as aseneH
Branch-Geo. A. Coe, of Coldwater.
Hillsdale-H. B. Tucker, of Jones'
vile. f
Monroe-G. Morris, of Monroe. ~
St. Joseph-Thos. Mitchell, of Con-
stantine.
Lenawee-J. r. Bennett, of Adrain.
Cass-Wm. III. Campbell, of Dowa-
giac. f
The Committee appointed to wait on
Mr.. Beaman appeared, accompanied by
that gentleman. He was greeted with
tumultuous applause. In response, he
acknowledged the honor conferred on
him and returned his thanks to the
Convention for the nomination. He
spoke in high terms of Hon. J. w. Tur-
ner and Joseph r. Williams, saying
that he had known them for many
years, and had ever found them true
patriots and Republicans, and he could
not suppose that he had been nomina-
ted over them from any fitness or mer-
it of his own. He regarded the nomi-
nation rather as an expression of friend
ship and good feeling, and as such ac-
cepted it. He referred to his past
course with the reasons that led him
to break away from the old Democrat
ic party, and said that he still support
ed the same principles which he then
advocated, and should ever continue to
support them. In conclusion, he
pledged himself during the coming
campaign, to do all within his power
for the success of the party, and for the
election of the peoples candidate for
the Presidency-Abraham Lincoln.
When he ceased, the House rang with
cheers.
Hon. John W.. Turner was vocifer-
onsly called for. He took the stand
amid wild applause and made some
humorous remarks, eliciting much
laughter. He thought that we had a
good convention so far. We had music
to begin with. He had heard that music
soothed the savage breasts, and he
wished the Democrats were here. He
continued with a very appropriate
speech, which elected great applause.
He said that Gen. Cass assured him as
early as 40 that the Miss ouri comprom-
Use must eventually be repealed.
Mr.. Beecher, of Lenawee, was called
out, who responded in very appropri-
ate manner, and was loudly applauded.
Mr.. Coe then offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolyea, That the Republican party
of the I'd Congressional District of
Michigan heartily endorse the platform
of principles adopted at the Republican
National Convention, held at Chicago,
May Is, 1860, and will give the nomi-
nees of that Convention our earnest and
undivided support. ss 4sf
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Convention be rendered to the Presi-
dent thereof for the ability, dignity and
impartiality with which he has presided
over its deliberations.
Resolyed, That the Republican pa
pers of this Congressional District be
requested to publish these proceedings.
A vote of thanks to the Hudson Cor
net Band for their services was then
passed, and on motion, the Convention
adjourned sine die with three rousing
cheers for cold Abe," sour Blair"
and Hon. F. G.. Beaman..
The greatest harmony and good-feel-
ing marked the deliberations of the
