my sincere thanks. When / glanced over the

standard bearer and our champion in many
well fought battle for constitutional liberty and
individual rights ] bad supposed that he above
all others would be called to the Chair, but in bis
absence shall endeavor to the best of my ability
70 discharge the duties this position imposes
We are convened under the call Of time
honored political organizltl3n we are here
as representatives OF that large class OF
citizens who are always, and have been obedent
that these shall be respected by the people and
rulers alike. The of truth and integrity having
beer brought to II successful issue, il is our duty
as American citizens TO address ourselves TO the
wish OF restoring the whole OF the terrible con
hict. and the blessings of civil government to
the people in all sections of our common coun-
try. To this end it is Of vital importance TO the
Empire State, which has furnished more men
and money for the suppression OF the rebellion
and the restoration OF peace and Union than
of. any here that the State should stand in the
front rank in the struggle for the supremacy of
the Constitutional Government After we have
made nominations the Convention has done
its work. Ii now remains for craftsmanship TO
solve the problem OF bringing the people into
harmony with Democratic system. The
efforts OF tue Presidenl in this regard are debe
ratey and malcicusly opposed by faction
which asserts that the Southern States new
national dependencies. thus not only declaring
that secession is All accomplished fact, but pro
posing amendment to the Constitution, 10
record the falsehood in the organic law So far
the policy of President Johnson toward the
people of the South has been developed
il is ia accordance with Democratic prin-
ciples. he holds with us that the Union has
never been dissolved; that the pretended acts Of
secession are null and void; that the States exist
with all dignity and equality and rights unim-
paired. That the citizens of all the States who
acknowledge their allegiance to the Federal
Government. have the right to form their Con
s,itutons, and to regulate for themselves the
elective franchise without interference by the
United States authorities Northern revolu
tionsts, are to be represented in Congress, and in
brief TO resume their proper connection with the
General Government. The President holds fur
ther with Us, that the attempt 10 force negro
equality upon the people OF these States, Is an
abrogation OF a a constitutional right which they
have exercised from their for mation to the pre-
sent time. III these positions President johnson
should be unhesitatDgy supported because be is
clearly and Enthusiastically right; we abate moth
ing of our opinions the declaration of the
Democratic principle; aud we stand for the su
premacy of civil rule, fox the ndefeasbe rights
of trial by jury, the writ of habeas corpus, and
the freedom OF religious opinion. and opposed to
all usurpation of power. The has created
that national curse, great public debt,
and TO the end that the public faith
may be kept and the public credit preserved, we
demand that the expenses of the Government
shall be reduced; that il shall be administered
honestly aud economically, and the burdens Of
taxation shall be made to bear equally upon all
the property of the country; Congress should
provide in the permanent financial policy of the
country, that, when adopted, there shall be no
the support ofthe Government. In our reloicings
at the return OF peace, we should not forget
that our thanks are due the brave soldiers Who
have held aloft the hag OF our country in so many
fields of blood aud death, aud who have offered
their lives a willing sacrifice upon the altar of
their country, as we'll "a those who have returned
to share With US the rights and privileges of free
government. They pre- eminently entitled TO
our confidence and TO our protection. With the
Issues of the war-issues which have divided
conservative men have become absolute. As
one of these results, slavery has been over
thrown, never to be re established. Among
other important facts il is the duty of all true
lovers of the Union and the Constitution TO
unite in the effort to the spirit of broth
erly love and mutual confidence, without which
the mission OF the Republic can never be accom-
pshed 1t will be my pleasure 10 cooperate
with the other delegates of this Convention 10
the discharge OF this patriotic duty.
