Gentlemen OF the Conventional thank YOU
sincerely for the honor you have conferred upon

lpossess the qualifications to discharge the duties
q hn
than 1 deserve, but possessing no such quahica-
tons, 1t IS only the greater, and | trust that an
earnest ana honest desire to discharge the duties
Will render me worthy OF your confidence
We have met in convention for the purpose
OF nominating candidates to be supported by
every loyal voter OF this city, and | hope the
selections may be such as to deserve the conf
denCe OF the community, and receive, as / am
satisfied they Will, a decided majority on the
second Tuesday i'll October next. The country
has during the last SIX years passed through
period OF great anxiety and suffering, and we
bave preserved this Union from the designs of
the Rebel consplrators and the Copperhead SYM
pathlzers. We naturally expected that the
spirit of rebellion would have been crushed
forever, and this glorious Union become agan
consolidated and united republic. / greatly
mistake the signs of the times if we will not
have to contend against another conspiracy,
led and sustained not by Jefferson Davis the
inmate OF Fortress Monroe, but by that arch
traitor and apostate, Andrew johnson, sup
ported by that talthless and trucking dema-
the future trials God may inhict upon the
people, entreat of you never to falter
for one moment in the maintenance of
your principles. We have amongst us to-
day many of the noble veterans to whom we
are Indebted for the success Of our cause and
the perpetulty Of our Union. To them we con-
hdently look in the future as we did in the past.
hope that in the selections of candidates by
this Convention, we will show by our actions
our appreciation of the services of the brave
Boys in Blue, and nominate the candidates they
desire tor at least two OF the positions on our
ticket. i again thank you for this expression
OF YOUR confidence.
