dom boqueathed to us, under the blessings
of Heaven, from our patriot forefathers
No, never-neUer is the response in every
true hearted American bosom. The De-
mocracy, as one man, give an indignat
negative to the interrogation, and the con-
servative portion of our Republican friends
take up the fearless response and say nev-
er-no, a,eUer!
Gentlemen of the Democratic press, we
have an important duty to perform in this
alarming crisis of our public affairs. The
Convention to-day will place candidates in
the field, who must be elected, or all will
be lost. If we discharge our duty faith
fully they shall be triumphantly elected,
and our noble old Commonwealth will
stand forth to the admiring gaze of the
world, "redeemed, regenerated and dis.
enthralled" from the tyranny that sur
rounds us. Some of us, in the past two
years, have been threatened with personal
violence; others have been ruthlessly
dragged from their homes and imprisoned,
and others again have had their printing
presses and type destroyed by cowardly
Abolition mob. But these things are of
the past, and they will not dare 10 repeat
them when we elect Democratic Cover
nor, who will not only protect the rights
of the State against Federal aggression,
but the constitutional rights of every citi-
zen in the broad limits of the Common
wealth. Let us be firm, therefore, in dis.
charge of the duties devolving upon us, and
a brighter day will dawn upon our be-
loved country on the second Tuesday OF
October next.
Again thanking you, gentlemen, for the
honor you have conferred upon me, l shall
desist from any further remarks, so that
the Convention may proceed with the
business which called it together"
