GRNrLENEN OF THE CoNvExrION-I accept
with the most profound gratitude, the position
: you have given me, in this, your State Cony en-
, ton. accept it not for my own qualification
but for the furtherance of the great cause We
have in hand. l rely on your support in carry.
ing on our business without creating any lire
2 pressible conflict" l am gratifed on account o.
tie antecedents of the great Republican Party
l cannot forbear congratulating you on the pro-
gress OF the great cause. l must contrast oul
position to-day with that of our situation wher
we met to organize the Republican party, not the
, principles, for they are old as the hills, ant
!. when the barriers over which slavery could 10,
pass, were broken down, you rallied in connec
ton with the true men of the nation, the think
: ing men, united men Of all parties came togethe
under the green oaks OF jackson, and YOU organ
!. lied; and when this landmark was to be broker
|. down, thinking men of all parties came to tn,
rescue, and declared that this wrong should no
be perpetrated. l recognize some men here to
u day whom have seen in the first meeting a
8 Jackson, aud looking around and seeing mel
d from every party and from every part of thi
State, must say that We have succeeded won
derfully. On the 9th of July, 1854, the frs
convention was held that declared against thi
= great wrong. We have met here to-day to sen,
e delegates to nominate national President, an,
!. when that is done We will go to work and cleo
:, him. We have no difference of opinion abou
the man, you all know him, l need not name hin,
loud cheers, but If other States should succee,
in naming better man, We win engage to Civ
him the votes Of this State by thousands Gen
III tlemen, have done; l rely on your intelligence
\ for any mistake have made.
