head and conscience, to Slavery. II was now time 70
20 back to the Constitution. Mr. Andrews related the
anecdote told by Douglas Of Lincolns ugliness. A
rough-ookng Western hunter met him on the prairie
while vet in humble circumstances and working with
his hands. The hunter leveled his musket. " Hold,
there o. cried Lincoln You don't mean to shot mel
| " Yes, Sir" was the answer; pledged myself II

There was no danger of having Lincons Adninistra-
ton led into the favor of Slavery by the visits of
Southern bellies, had been the case with the one
in power. The speaker was born in 1928, in the
woods of Ohio among the bears and wolves that then
inhabited that country where he had to 60 five miles
to school, protected by his brother who accompanied
| him with a gun his shoulder; he knew something
about life in the West, and he did appreciate The hard
sIps and trials of Abraham Lincoln in attaining the
position he now held before the country. Like the
Tennessecan constabes return the warrant for the
arrest of fugitive "across feldbus, over creekum,
| over swampibus, mp stumpnm non-comatibus in
swampo," 80 the Democratic party was non-cOmatibus
| in swampo Laughter
The CHAIRMAN read an invitation from l.. B Hox-
ers of the Wyandot Restaurant, calling upon the par
Elephants in the dedication OF the Republican wig wan,
to meet over cam-chowder at his shop after the adj
| ournment, provided there were not thousand
of them, and the clam chowder was duly attended to
| at the proper time.
CHARLfs S. SPENCER, esq, of New-York, said he
| was born in the State of NewYork, and though he
had not more than few rods to go to school, he had
doubt he got licked often as the speaker preced-
| ing him who went five miles. But he was born a Re
publican. He thought it rather deplOrable lesson of
| The Chicago Convention that man who had adhered
| his life long to principle, which principle built mp
party should have his throat cut from to ear by
| that party. Kisses and cheers The principles and
acts of the two great parties now before the country,
indicated that their names should be the Black Democ
racy and the White Republicans. lie recalled the
times of Harry Clay, when the people sang
Here's Harry Clay,
Here's TO you with all my heart

The speaker regarded compromises with Slavery,
like the who followed with broad ak the disturb
of his domestic happiness, whom he had found in
f0grGHte deiietO with his wife. The pursued man
stumbled and fell; the pursuers foot his breast,
and while the broad AK swayed upifted in air. the
oyertaken man begged to compromise the matter, to
which the other responded that taking into consdera
ton the loss of wife, ruin of happiness and outrage of
feeling which his act had created he could not settle
the matter short of-about two Spanish dollars.
With Clay another great man, whom he could not
help paying compliment, for when he was elected to
the Presidential chair, and several States camored for
nullfcatiou he called TO himself Gen. Scott and in.
structed him what TO be done, and we heard no
of notification. 1t not always the most
courageous man who first drew his revolver, as the
late history of the great Don Quixoe windmill fighter
of frightened Virginia had shown with regard the
bowieknife. He put the question: by what chasing of
reason, what chopping Of logic what splitting Of
torical hairs the people of the Territories should not
have the right to say Slavery should not exist
among them much they have the right say that
p0ygamy robbery rape, and murder should not exist.
The people should now cay in their might, Thus far,
Slavery, shalt thou go, ond no farther!
Several resolutions read by the Secretary ex-
pressive of the commendable enthusiasm with which |
they were entering the campaign.
WV. III. BURLEIGH next introduced. He had |
counted upon the selection of Seward candidate for
the Presidency but he doubted not that the beet had been
done and that Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin
would merit the highest honors and confidence that a |
nation could confer upon them. Mr. Burleigh spoke
briefly on account of the ateness of the hour and con-
Guided by reading the following dedicatory and rat
fcafory song, which he had been requested TO write
or the occasion;
Up again for the conflict our banner fling out
And rally around il with song and with shout
Stout Of heart hTm Of hand should the gallant boys be,
Who bear TO the battle the Flag of the Free
Like our fathers when Liberty called to the strife,

as the winds Of the prairie the waves Of the STA,
They are eoInng-sre coming--the Sons Of the Free
Then fling out the banner, the old starry banner, |
The wsriatered banner the flag Of the Free
Our Leader is who with eonquerless will
Has olmbd Fl om the base TO the brow Of the hill

He has fought good light in the Battle OF Life; |

The signal Of triumph for " Abe Of the West 4"
The West, whose broad acres, from ake-shore sea-
Now wait for the harvest and homes Of the free
Shall the daIk tide OF Slavery roll DER the sod
That Freedom makes bloom like the garden Of Godl
The bread Of our children be torn from their mouth |

No, never the trust which or sshinston laid |
On for the Future shall ne'er be betrayed! |
Then fling out the banner, the old starry banner, |
And on TO the conflict with hearts undismayed!
