Rev. Gen. Granville Moody was
then called upon to open the Conven
ton with prayer. In asking the rs
semblage to rise, the reverend gen.
tleman expressed desire that now,
more than ever before, God would
hear and answer prayer. His invo
cations were, as they could not be
otherwise, revercnt, fervid and patri.
otic.
On motion of Judge Sloan, Hon.
George Hoadly was then called TO
preside as temporary Chairman.
REMARKS OF JUDGE HoADLY.
On coming forward Judge Hoadly
was warmly greeted. He responded
in the following remarks:
thankyo gentlemen of the Con.
vention, for the compliment implied
in this selection. But the occasion
rises far above mere personal com.
lpliment, and if am to say anything
before taking my seat, and before
you enter on the business to be trans.
acted, it must be OF q far different
nature.
| congratulate you upon the auspi.
cious situation under which you have
assembled here to day. The sun
shines brightly in the heavens, but
no more warmly or cheerfully than
its radius reflected by tile harmony
in our own hearts. The wiscst states.
man have ever known-I mean
Salmon p. Chase cheers once said
to me that the Republican and Union
party of Ohio stood upon two imper-
ishablc pillars, which, ii preserved
in their integrity, would guarantee
its success forever. "Give us econ.
omy and integrity in the management
of our domestic finances; and give us
inhexible adherence to the principles
of human liberty, and we can never
be vanquished." l congratulate you
that, during the past year, we have
maintained both these pillars in
beauty before us. Cheers. An
economical and wise State legislation,
with taxes reduced, we exhibit to the
country as the work of the Union
party of Ohio, in building up a sys.
TEN of public economy; and the wise,
patriotic and faithful labors of our
noble Congress, a6ure us that the
pillar of individual liberty will forev.
er stand as the work of wise and true
men, of this as of past generations.
Applause.
Thus we have party of which we
have no occasion to be ashamed; we
will have no need of Disgusting our
sentiments; will not be afraid to 30
back on our record Our candidates,
whether they be the brave soldiers
who periled their lives in battle for
our safety, or those able and trusty
who have won our confidence
both at home and in the army, by not
voting for Vallandigham, laughter
will be good and true men. We need
no engineering. Our party is sound
wood to the bottom. We make no
false predictions. Ours is the party
which has kept together for the last
five years, has maintained the Union;
has put down the most gigantic re
bellion the world ever saw; and we
are perfectly competent to adjust all
of difference among our
selves, and to carry on the affairs of
the nation so that the fruits of this
war shall not be lost. Great cheers.
To do this requires but one thing,
and, using the language of another,
''it requires but that We shall bring
all our little separate isms together,
lay them upon one altar, and there
let them blaze mp into one fire OF
