on Saturday forenoon. Jared Forseman
was called to the chair, and G. A. Poland
and u. E. White appointed Secretaries.
The wards and townships were called
over for their delegates to report, and it was
found that the Sixth Ward, and the town
ships of Blendon, Brown, Franklin, Jeffer-
son, Norwich Plain, Perry, Pleasant, Sha-
ron and Washington, were not represented.
On a suggestion by DIR. James Williams,
Sam. Galloway was called on for speech.
Mr.. Galloway accordingly mounted the
platform, but was quite brief and indefinite
in his remarks. He did not as usual make
any attempts at wittcisms, but was for
him uncommonly grave. He said there
had been lately quite lull in political
feeling, which was very Injurious to their
party, intimating that that party only lives
and thrives in a state OF excited public feel
ing. There party was one of principle, but
Mr.. G. forgot to mention any one of Its prin-
cples. The men of the party, he said de-
sire to stand where they have stood for the
last five years, for Union of States upon
a principle Of loyaly, but loyalty to what
he did not say.
AS Mr.. Galloway proceeded, he became
still more obscure. He seemed either not
to know what to say, or purposely to
''darken counsel" by expressions convey
ing no certain meaning. He said there was
no necessity for difference between men
of his party or between the President and
Congress, but gave no reasons for this as
sertion. He remarked that Congress had
just adopted plan for the reconciliation of
differences, referring to the joint resolution
for the amendment of the United States
Constitution; and declared that he desired
no other platform to stand upon.
Mr.. Galloway grew little .fighty as he
drew toward the close of his speech. He
said that the principles-without limiting at
one of them-of his party must be main
tained, because their opponents were op-
posed to progress, to civilization and uni
versal freedom, while "wE," exclaimed Mr..
G., "are the party Of progress, of civlliza-
tiOn, of freedom and equal rights, and of
CHRISTIANITY

Both Of July as the time for holding a Dis
trict Congressional Convention.
On motion of DR.. Williams, the Republic
can Executive committee of Franklin

suggestion.
Grafton Douty moved a sine die adjourn

wanting something more done. The ques-
tion;was put, and the Chair being in doubt
as to the result, a rising vote decided the
motion lost.
DR.. Coulter who had opposed Mr.. Fos-
ter's motion for the appointment of COM
mittee on Resolutions, but who, itseems.
had set "ready cut and dried" in his
pocket, proposed that certain resolutions
which, he said, had been handed him,
should be read to the Convention. This
was agreed to, and the following resolu-
tions were read with an JUNCTION by L. E.
White, one Of the Secretaries.
