An enthusiastic individual was so re

family, but not solitary response greste
his proposal, and in his surprise be forgC
TO cheer himself 1t was terrible WI
blanket.
Prior to the nomination, Mr.. Whittlese
proposed that the candidates pledge then
selves to abide by the decision Of the Cor

Mr.. Whittlesey, with becoming liberalit.,
did not insist on it.

the Chairman, Mr. Lew. Stinson.
Mr. Hendricks speech consisted of fo
propositions, which he elaborated for abo
one hour and a quarter.

organic ltion should be sustained.

the Congress of the United States, and
the measures adopted by them to put do'
: the rebellion.
: 81. Proving that the Northwest is bon
by every tie of interest to the Southe
i States. This part of his speech was bu
renetition of the articles of F, Y. CARL
II phis prior to the rebellion, to prove to
Southern rebels that the Northwest VOL
be with them in their efforts to overthr
n the Government. 1t was simply an elal
q ration of the secession resolution adopted
the same political faction at Cauneton j
, before the commencement of hostilities
: Mr.. Hendricks did no. recommend the

W not friend of Douglas, that he was
i. grateful to Buchanan, and that he told ?
m live falsehoods in his speech on Tuest

10 His apeech, we need hardly add, was
"a uitical and dang erous. He said not W
I. at which JEFF. Davis could take ofenst
he Nay, be said nothing tina: Davis could
w. cheerfully endorse. During all that leng
m. address not solitary word was uttered
IN condemnation of the rebellion. No fl
%. to find with the conspirators laboring
n. overthrow the government, and not W
m approving anything that has been done
TO- The present Administration towards Sc
so ring its perpetuation. Some points in
o. speech we will examine more at len
=, some other time.
