BIZ He said, Notwithstanding the deep and
conflicting interests here at stake, may say
to the country that no Convention has ever
SAT for so great a length of time with the
observance of so great share of order and
freedom from personalities or offensive LAM
guage, as this. He had endeagored most
impartialIy and honestly to fulfill the duties
7 Of the chair, and if in the excitement of
the moment he had been led to use any alb
rupt language to gentlemen, he humbly
apologized for it. He regarded this Con-
vention as having in its custody not only
the permaneuey of the Democratic party,
but the question also, whether these great
United States should continue and endure.
We will net, however, relinquish the hope
that the Union will continue on till eternity,
and he felt confident that the Convention
will adjourn to-day with the discrimination
to do all in their power to restore harmony
and confidence. i-tl
