Dir. Schmidt then took mis- seat, and, ON mo-
lion, Messrs. Mann, Mcclure and Dyer were
appointed committee to confer with Mr..
McElhanv relative to procuring the flag of the
old Democratic Ass ociatiOn.
1t was announced that the flag was not ready
to be hoisted at O'Clock, as proposed, and q
motion was made to hoist it at o'clock TO- NOR
row (this) afternoon, at which tune the names
OF the candidates will be inscribed upon 1t.
Messrs. Lyon, Thomas, Clark. Morsell and
Grimes We're appointed committee to hoist
the flag.
T.G. Clayton, ESD, after sundry calls had
been made, took the stand, and proceeded to
read the resolutions adopted at the Chicago
Convention, which was accomplished after a
considerable effort, those Immediately about
the stand paying some attention, but others in
the back part OF the nall creating more or less
cshiusion by loud talking and mo wing about.
After reading the resolutions, Mr.. Clayton
SAID he was here TO night TO hear the intelli-
genCe OF the nomination of George b. McUlel-
Ian and George II. Prndleton. The campaign
will be short one, but 1t will be one OF the
most excitaole that has ever taken place in the
United States. We have TO contend with
party In power, terribly powerful in itself,
and which had, in addition, large army to
back Ii, But we must change the Government,
re-establish The rights of all the States, and re-
turn to the original principles upon which the
Union was founded. (Applause.l The great
men nominated at Chicago would be elected
with powerful majority, and there was no
enc found TO oppose them in the Democratic
ranks except interlopeIs and latter day saints,
who had always battied against the Demo-
cratic party, and came in at the eleventh hour
10 share the spoIlS: and when their claims
we're not recor nized, again oolted.

Mr.. Clayton con tinued, (unheeding the inter-
ruption,) and said the words used against their
opponents by the Democracy would be soft
but the arguments would oe strong, [applause, !
and when we come up TO the grand meeting ON
September 18th, let US call out all we can, and
have such Il meeting as will make the Admin
tstration feel its power and influence. ZAP
piause. He (the speaker) was an admrer of
Mcclellan, and had studied his history, and
he detied the Administration to put its finger
on one act of Mcclellan that could sustain the
charges brought against him He (McCiellan)
had always had the confidence Of the Govern
ment, and his report upon the Crimean war
was monument to the intelligence of his
head and the goodness Of his heart. He was
superior 90 any military man in the country,
and as statesman he had no superior. ZAP
plause.J In oratory he was chaste, beautiful
and pure, and stood as high as an Everett
[ApplauseJ This Administration will do all
IN us power 70 defeat our nominee, of course,
but let us all work. [Applause.]
In conclusion, Mr.. Clayton urged the De-
Inocracy to stand firm, and beware OF those

lose of reapIng the benefits of q new admins
