Ter what | ought To say. | %coutcSs that.
Notwithstanding the experience | have had
| in pubic life, the words | have addressed to
me on this occasion, an this a>ScmLlage are
well calculated to, ana do, oyerwheim me.
As | have said, | have not language to
convey adequately NY present feelings and
en- o;ians. In listening to the address which
your eloquent and distinguished Chairman
has Just delivered, the proceedings Of the
Convention, as they tranSpired, required 0
my mind. Seemingly, | parto0k of the in
spiration that prevailed in the Contention.
When | received IA dispatch 10y two Of its
! Distinguished members, conveying IN terms
! the scGne which has Just been described, Of
South Carolina and Massachusetts,, arm in

and thus giving evidence that the extremes
had come together, and that for ihc future
they were united, asthey had been in the

| think We may justly c0nciu lie We are
moving under l. proper inspiration, and that
we need not be mistaken, and that the lin
ger of an overriding and u%nerring Proyl-
dence is in this matter. Loud cheers.
The nation is in peril We have just
passed through u mighty, a bloody, "A mo-
mcutous ordeal. yet do not find ourselves
free from the difficulties and dangers that at
first surrounded us. While our brave men
have performed their duties, both officers
and men. turning to General Grant, who
stood at his right while they have won
l~aur1ls imperishable-there are still greater
and more important duties to perform; and
while we have had their cO-op2ratiOa in the
field, we now need their support in our eli
forts to perpetuate peace. Loud cheers.
So far as the Executive Department of
Government is concerned. the effort has
been made to restore the Union. to heal the
breach, to pour oil into the wounds which
were consequent up0h the struggle; and to
| speak in common phrase, 10 prepare, as the
learned ard wise physician would. a plaster,
healing in character and co-extensiye with
the wound. Loud cheers We thought,
