e"' We have met, gcntleme. of the Con.
ventjon, uuler a broad but most ex-
cellent call. These are not times for
mere party issues. These are not times
for mere party politics. But in this great
struggle going on--in which these mis-
cradle rebels are seeking to destroy the
best Government that ever existed, it is
right and proper that, us there are and
can be no neutras-.s there can be
bat two parties-one for the Union and
one against lit is right that the friends
of the Union shall come in Convention
anil select their candidate under such n
call as we have. And l feel satisfied
that the selection which this Convention,
, will make, will be one that will rebound
to the honor of the Commonwealth, and
ensure success. Applause.]

treasure and blood, and I am satisfied

now battling for all that is dear to us all
