In Seconding this motion beg leave to state
that in the opinion of the Republicans of the
State which | in part represent, there is no
one OF the many distinguished advocates of
the Republican, party, no one of that ilustri

OF freedom, who is more endeared to the great
heart OF the Republicans of this country, then
is Cas>ius NJ. Clay
1t Is very easy matter for us who live up-
on soil unstained by slavery who breathe

in triumph over the land. Loud applause.
Let me assure you, gentlemen, when that
cause shall be borne alofl in triumph, and its
glorious folds shall be expanded to the wings
Of heaven, yon will see inscribed upon its
brightest folds in characters of living light. the

idcncc that that ticket will be triumphant
OF let me assure you that, with the gallant
