On mOlon Oh L. L MoSeley, Esq, tDis res
olutiou was adopted.
Resolued, That we earnestly recommend to
the Convention the name of our fe!low-citi-
zen A. 5. Colyar, Esq, as a suitable candl-
date to bear our standard in the coming
Gubernatorial contest.
Thereupon. Mr.. Colyar rose and said, that
it was gratifying to him to know that bis
Union friends at home placed SO high an es-
innate upon him as to suggest his name as
the standard bearer in such conflict as this
But he wished to be permitted to say. as he
had uniformly said to his oVer-partial friends
who had mentioned the subject to him, that,
in his opinion, there were men in the Union
ranks who had more claims upon the party
than he, and in his opinion the interests Of
the State pointed to another as the man for
the times. That, if possible, he should at
tend the State Convention as delegate,
hoping to do some good in the way of adj
justing conflicting views. with the distinct
understanding that his name would not be
presented to the Convention.
Mr. C.. said he meant not to avoid respon-
sibility-that this was not the time-that
demagogues, North and South, had well nigh
ruined the ccuntry-that as a duty he should
go forth into the conflict, but he preferred to
60 as a private, and in that capacity no sac
rifce would be too great for him to make.
On motion of W. W. Brazelton, E. Morris,
Esq, 7. F. Moseley, and ]. n McCutcheon
were appointed Committee to request of
Mr.. A. S. Colyar copy of his able and patri-
otto speech for publication.
On motion, the Home Journal, and all other
papers friendly to the cause of the Federal
Union, be requested to copy these proceed
ings.
Then the meeting was regularly adjourned
