vention for the honor, and invoking their
aid in discharge of the difficult duties of
the chair. He said they were come to-
gether not under ordinary circumstance
not as wings, democrats or republicans, but
as members of one great party of the
Union. He recognised in this large Con-
vention those who had formerly belonged
to each of the large political parties Of the
country. The peculiar condition Of the
country had caused the formation of great
Union party, composed of each Of the old
organizations who had thrown aside all
political differences of opinion, who pre-
ferred country to party, and who were ami
mated by one common purpose and aimed
at one common object, namely the sup
preston of the rebellion and the preserVa.
ton of the country and her noble institu-
tions. They had assembled themselves as
the representatives of the loyal people of our
young and growing state to nominate state
officers and an electoral ticket to be voted
for at the ensuing (0ctober) election. He

here nominated would be triumphAntly
elected. He invoked harmony upon their

all mere personal preferences for the gem
eral good.
