Hon Nat Wolfe being called for, said he
would not detain them long The time for
/ speaking had passed, and the time for ac-
! tion had arrived He was proud to be with
them, proud to be one of their pirty, whose
mission it was to save the county; proud TO
be called on to address a convention of a
party who carried on its banner such words
as free speech, free press, and free elec-
ton"
Our country has seen dark days before, but
never days so dark as now; never before did
! lightning flashes show so deep gloom
lie said the present Administration must
be put down. 1t is not an Administration
guided by the Constitution, but one having
its sole object the freeing of your negroes.
He then invoked the convention to stand
| firmly to Democratic principles, and sup
port the nominee of the Chicago Conven-
tion.
Thomas Turner was loudly called for,
aud made lengthy speech but owing to
the confusion around the Secretary's desk,
our reporter was unable to give full report
as we should like.
He said he was a new convert-a new
Copperhead- like all new converts was
only the more enthusiastic.
He believed .here was but one way OF
saving the country, and that was throug I'll e
| instrum entality OF the Democratic party; and
he believed that when two or three Demo-
Gratis were gathered together that the geni-
us of liberty was amoLg them and with
them.
Ii lincoln should understand that abol-
ishng slavery abolished his power, how
long do you think i t would be before he was
pro- slavery man. He expects 10 gain
power by comforting upon the negro the
right to vote, expecting them, Of course, to
vote Tor the party which confers this privi-
lese. By this means, and by working on
that love of money which he was sorry in
fluced many to forget their country and hug
pelf, Lincoln expects to retain power, and
it is for the Democrats, united-perr2 ittiny !
no question to divide them in a grand ac-
tion-a party hich has no regard for the
Constitution or the dearest rights of the cit.
izen.
A resolution was adopted appointing s
committee to prepare and publish remon-
STRANGE against the recent order Of Gen Ew-
ing suppressing the circulation of Demo
cratic papers
Governor Wickliffe being called for said
Gentlem en-: l do not feel as if could ad

All that We have been taught, as a people
, to hold dear--all that our ancestors tau2h
