b,,najn. and Of Elliott C. Cowdin for Congress in
abe 9Th Congressional District.
VIM. f. Dodge WAS chosen president, and large
number of gentlemen v;ce-presldents aud soere-
sariee.
Nr.OopGr on taking the chair, said that they had
selected as their candidate fcr'Congrcss man not Of
:he stripe Of Fernando aud Benjamin.. We had
hither.o met under circumstances OF great Import
uwe, but ro'y, when after eighteen months OF war
rs a united North, we were met by opposition to .hs
tsoverllru.nt in the loyal States, the crisis was in
deed come. In such crsis we required none but
q known, tired and true man. such man az Elliott
L. Cowdin. Loud applause.
l.. ID. SMITH was then introduced NJ. COwdin,
he said, had bseu subjected to test which he had
stood better than many who had been travelling In
foreign lands. He was in Paris when the Rebellion
arst showed its hoiTid front, and wio others were
trembling in the balance he stood firm and Fixed,
and gave the friends OF Republican liberty III
France \ true idea Of the causes and character
IF the instruction. He brought together the fieuc'
of this country in the City OF PaFis III iavor 0. arm
and rcsolue decision for this country. We had. q
candidate who could ity represen. mercantile COM
mmity who had always been on the side OF liberty.
The proclamation ofthe President loud applause
had drawn rigid line between the friends and the
Toes of the old banner of Washington. We had
bought too long under an uncertain oanner; ls'
this point procession from the Eighteenth Ward,
headed by band and bearing the American flag,
which the Seymouritos do not carry, entered the
foonil lie thought hs saw the right spirit Of en-
ergy and determination in those before him. This
great Proclamation would rank III history with the
Declaration OF Independence and the Constitution
of the United States The country should sustain il
by u Congress which would support it, He had no
fear of New-York. The question OF Liberty and
Slavery, of the Old Flag, and any other, could re-
eeiye br. one answer from patriotic New-Xo-k.
For We were as traly fighting az The polls for our
country as were our bfeth,en IN the Field Rally,
thea, in support of our noble candidate confident
that in his election we had struck blow for free
dom and the nation.
Wn ALLEN BUTLER wss introduced. Mr.. Cow

ess Of the State, ana above all, the great Interests
OF the Union, would be safe. This was not q cues.
