State Convention


convened in the State. Though some little
DISCUSSION was had in the morning session in
reation to the rropriety of the call of the
State Committee and the Interpretation which
ought to be put upon it, it soon became ap-
p.rent tha. those who had assembled in ODE
hence to the call, without regard to past po-
;tcal differences, were there as the earnest
aad enthusiastic supporters of the Admins
ration. not intending 70 abandon their dis
;.ctive principles, but willing to pretermit
;aeir discussion until the eA gencies Of

,1rsequent division and drawing Of party
mes necessary. a preamble al. resolution
we're adopted, as the platform of the Conren-
ION, and it will be re-endorsed most heartily

v, plant our feet upon that platform, being
-, satisfied with its terms and with the
,:acs and stripes waving over US, We are will
1g to meet and join hands with our former
political opponents upon the common and
-..r:o.ic groand Of sustaining the Admins

Iaey are the incumbents at present of those
