bers as there are Senators in the General

ing that the members of the Board shall

ment of Mr.. Donneliy was accepted by

District. ~ as p 5..5 2. - ~ sifF
Mr.. Mcdonald, in his address to the con-
vention, briefly reviewed the career of the
Republican party arraigning it as tyran-
nical, and on its reconstruction measures
oppressive and unjust, in deprivipg the
Southern States of a voice in the affairs of
the nation upon the financial question. He
said the Democratic party intended to hold
the Republican party to its obligations ac-
cordin to the intent and letter thereof /;
but the difference between the parties was
in the construction of the act that if the
widow was compelled to draw her pension
| for the life blood of her husband in green
backs, the same currency should be suffi-
cient for the bondholders. He Endorsed the
course of President Johnson, and COM
mended him for resisting the Republican
party and asked for him indulgence and
patience from the Democratic party, for if
| lie seemed tardy in his carrying out of the
principles of the Constitution, iJ was be-
cause he (Johnson) saw further into their
designs, and knowing them, knew best
| when and how to check the progress of the
Republican party better than they did. He
