AFTERNOON SESSION.

AFTERNOON SESSlONs
The convention re-assembled at halfpast
two o'clock, and in the absence of other bust.
ness, Hon. Erastus Hopkins of Northampton
was called to the platform, and made brief
and eloquent speech.
MR.. HOPKINS SPEECH.
Mr.. Hopkins said he knew not why he
should be singled out of this large and
distinguished assembly, and for once in his
life was at loss to know where to begin and
what to say. If he were speaking to oppo-
nents, there would be some stimulus to argu-
ment. But here, where all were of one mind,
he was embarrassed by the uniformity of con-
viction. The question to be considered was
who should be the standard bearer of
the republican party in the coming con-
test. He would not speak of men,
but of the principles which should guide and
control the selections of men. If the republi-
can party has any strength or power, it con-
sists in its positive ideas and great national
principles. And if it is destined to any sue
cess, it will consist in the success of those
ideas and principles. The man who should
embodies and personifies them. Mr.. Seward,
who had been honorably named by the pres
ident, most fully and entirely answered that
description. There was another eminent
statesman Mr.. Chase) who answered it, per-
haps there were many others. Where two or
more such men are presented, then between
them, and them only arises the question Of
availability. Let not the republican party go
outside for any comparatively unknown man.
This contest which engages us was not of an
hour, but of an era. We may or may not be
discomftted in a skirmish, but it is only skir-
mish. The victory belongs to us, Heaven de-
crees it to US, and in the end if we are faithful
it will be ours. The question of the preponder-
ance of slavery or freedom in this country was
one which concerned the existence of the gov.
ernment, which, he would say it reverently,
concerned high heaven and if God were with
US, who could be against US? If actuated by
unworthy fears, we were to go outside Of the
party in search of a man who had strength
which we have not, and then failed,
we should be distracted and hopelessly
demoralized. But if, with Seward or
Chase for a standard bearer, we still
suffered, we should suffer with conscious
virtue, and would be in a condition to rise
again. He trusted that these ideas would
prevail at Chicago, that we might be able to
enter upon the campaign with high and lofty
purposes, and meet the issues as they were
presented to us by the inexorable logic Of
events. Let that be done, and it might truly
be said that the day of our redemption draw
eth nigh. Mr.. Hopkins speech was received
with many expressions of appreciation, which
indicated that the temper of the convention
was entirely in sympathy with the spirit of
his remarks. The committee on the ballot
having returned, submitted the following re-
Worcester daily spy., 1860-03-08

perfectly expressed, are few of the many
that call upon us as republicans of Massachu-
sets to begin now, in spirit of harmony our
share of the great work that's to restore the
national government to its former character
and position, and preserve the free lands OF the
Union for free men.
Mr.. Knowlton said further In conclusion,
am charged with a commission to this con-
vention. The delegates from the city of Wor-
cester before coming into the convention, held
meeting, and expressed their preference for
candidate for the presidency and they charged
me with the duty of declaring that preference
to this body. They would be glad if the con-
yention could see its way clear TO coincide
with them in this expression of preference,
which was made by them with entire unanlm-
ity. The gentleman whom they thus desig-
mated their preference, is known the country
over as a true and reliable republican; man
of the highest order of ability, and OF long
and large experience in public life. He has
no concealments of his opinions, which are
always stated with clearness, simplicity, and
| force. And when stated he is ever ready to
sustain them with massive logic. 1t elected,
| the delegates from Worcester believe that his
administration would be such as to give the
republican party better prospect of perpetuity
than it would have with any other candidate.
The man in whom they have this faith, and
bear aloft the banner at the head of the ad-
vancing columns of the republican party TO a
certain aud glorious victory, is Gov. SEWARD
of New York.
Mr.. Day of Barnstable again moved for the
appointment of committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Kimball of Boston thought this was not
the season, and that there was no call for a
formal expression of sentiment, and he hoped
the committee would not be appointed. Mr..
Day could not see why any citizen of Massa-
chusetts should object to sending forth his
convictions in the form of resolutions. He
thought the principles of the Philadelphia plat
form were Just right and he did not want to go
home and hear it said that the republicans of
Massachusetts did not dare to reaffirm them.
The question was put and declared to be car
ried. Doubts having been raised, Mr.. Kimball
again attempted to obtain the floor, but was
called to order by the chair, and tellers were
appointed. The motion of Mr.. Day was lost,
| 275 voting in the affirmative, and 373 in the
negative. Before proceeding to ballot for del
egates at large, Mr.. Kimball of Boston, with
drew his name from the list of candidates,
and requested his friends to vote for John A.
Andrew, whose name appeared at the head of
most of the ballots before the convention.
The committee was appointed to receive, sort,
and count votes, E. M Bellows of Pepperel,
chairman, and pending their work the conven-
ton adjourned.

COSTLY FRoLIc.-Two young men, en-
ployed at one of the manufactures in the city,
on Sunday night, hired horse and chaise at
the stable of Witt & Pratt, with the expressed
intention of going to Holden. On Monday
morning, before the sun was up, the horse
found his way home with a halter round his
neck, and without the chaise. 1t seems that
the young men, having reached Holden, had
procured another horse and gone on toward
Paxton. On Tuesday, Deputy Marshal jack
son and Constable Pratt paid an official visit
to the latter town, and met the two missing
persons walking in the direction of Worcester.
They were, of course, arrested, and the miss
ing property was discovered. In the box of
the chaise were eleven chickens, Just slaugh-
tered for the market, valued at seventy-five
cents each. The two delinquents were ar
raigned before the police court, Wednesday,
but their examination was postponed till Sat
urday. Two of the chickens were identified
by John Flagg, Jr. The rest are awaiting re-
cogniton at the police office.

The first four gentlemen named in the above
list having the highest number of votes were
declared unanimously elected delegates at
large to the Chicago convention and, on mo
tion of Mr.. Schouler of Boston, the four hav-
ing the next highest number of votes were
declared substitutes, in the order in which they
are named. The announcement was received
with much applause, and there were calls for
a variety of speakers, in the midst of which
John c. Park of Boston made short and tel
ling speech.
MIR. ANDREWS SPEECH.
In response to loud and repeated calls, John
A. Andrew of Boston came forward, and was
received with three hearty cheers and other
demonstrations of enthusiasm. He said no
poor power of speech given to him had any
adequacy to the expression of his gratitude
to the republicans of Massachusetts, for the
high honor he had received at their hands.
He trusted he might, as one of the delegates
to the national convention, according to the
measure and power Of his ability, do his duty
adequately, and entirely fulfill their wishes
He knew something of the hearts of the re.
publicans of Massachusetts, and that they had
no thought but for the ultimate good and tri
umph Of the great cause which was identified
with the success of the party to which
they belonged. The inspiration of the cam.
P"gn OF 1860 found its expression to-day.
Worcester daily spy., 1860-03-08

The triumph of every great and noble cause
was identified with the strength of the faith OF
those who uphold it, the faith of leader and
follower, the faith which is the abiding convic-
tion of its truth, and which plants the stan
dard of right on the mountain top of victory
1t was the mission of the republican party to
redeem America. The slave code for the ter
ritories, now for the first time threatened, the
abridgment of the freedom of speech and the
press, the attempt to prevent the organization
of congress by means disastrous to the exist
ence OF the government, the open threats of dis
union unless the minority are suffered to
rule, are evidence that the hour has come for
all who love America to unite and rescue this
holy ark from the Philistines, who have sworn
to either rule or ruin. He concluded with say
ing that he should go to the national
convention without fear, favor, or affec-
tion giving himself to this worthy and
patriotic work, and he trusted that the senti-
ments and doctrines to which they were de-
voted would be borne upon the standards of
them. Mr.. Andrews remarks were inter-
rupted with frequent applause.
Linus B. Comins of Roxbury expressed his
gratitude for the high honor given him by the
convention, and trusted the representatives of
the party at Chicago would have the courage
to place its standard in the hands of repre-
sentative man of the party, and of its princi-
pies. Calls were made for Kmball, Bird,
Boutwell,, and others whose names appeared
upon the records of the convention, but none
OF them appearing the customary thanks were
returned to the officers, and at 81 o'clock the
convention dissolved.
During the intermission of the state conyen-
ton, the delegates from the first congressional
district assembled in the parlor at the Bay
State House, and nominated for district dele
gates to the Chicago convention JOSEPH NJ
| DAY of Barnstable and JONATHAN BOURNE,
Jr., of New Bedford for substitutes, HORACE
ScoTT of Fairhayen, and SAM'L OSBORNE, Jr.,
of Edgartown. The Seward element seemed
to prevail here as in the state convention.
Some six hundred delegates and spectators
came over the Boston road yesterday. The
greater part returned in an extra train at 4.l5,
which comprised ten heavily loaded cars. The
eastern part of the state was much more fully
represented than any other part,
