olap-trap, and impossible that so much
should be issued. Suppose, said he, he
has issued them, would ask those who
hold them il they have got their pay?
Responses, "Nol" "No"I Another
reason why working men should support
him was that Mr.. Spinner, of the Trea-
sury, has entered the field against him.
Moses has not bargained for the nomi-
nation, has not promised dollar and de-
spises the man who would offer to bribe.
This was coldly received He wants
an administration that will give the poor |
people O chance in the government. |
Whatever his faults are, they are no
worse than those of Others. In sustain.
ing Moses we are sustaining apeople who
are trying to rise. He was pledged to
measures of reform. magnanimity and
charity; has made no ovcrtures, aud has
been ostracised for the tenacity of his
principles. Can you forsake such man ?
Responses. 'No" "No!"1 He has
pledged the poor man all over this land
to meet and defend his character, princi-
pies and Kepublicanism. Il is said that
bolt is proposed, and another Conven-
ton is to be held, but he proposed to
stand by the nomination, whatever be-
tide it. He dwelt particularly and en-
phatically upon the fight as poor mans
fight Advocated reform, school houses
and other measures Of relief, aud said
Treasurer would he nominated who
would keep tho money close, 50 that
those who have done work mny receive
their puy.
Allen, of Greenvllle, reiterated all that
Cain said
Il. J. Mac1cy said that m organized
effort is being made to buy the election.
Bond holders we're about. Neagle, from
York, would throw the mantle over
Moses, his personal friend. Ho pro-
posed to nominate sou of MaAsachu-
sets, of brilliant talents and Radical
Aboltionist by birth and education !;
who shouldered his musket, as private,
and marched to the music of "Old John
Browns Soul is Marching On" and
has not issued conversion bonds; his
hands are clean in that matter. The
Financial Board, of which Chamberlain
is a member, is not named in the Act
which authorizes their issuance. Here
Elliott, Chairman. interfered, to prevent
Mr.. Neagle making any defence of the
nothing to DO with any but certain
number of bonds Dond-holders have
no more interest in one candidate than
another. It is the duty of the Legisla-
ture to see into any fraudulent issue Of
bonds. He wants the integrity of the
Republican party preserved; and wants
no family quarrel or split. If you make
: distasteful or Objectionable nomina-
tion, you will cause fatal split, and fall
beneath the feet Of your political enc
mics. If Moses be nominated, there
will be bolt, ranking and diseord.
The nomination OF Moses will be disas
trous to Republicanism, and cause ruin
amongst us. Chamberlain can touch @
chord in the North and in the Union
> army that he (the speaker) cannot, mol
others who have been in the rebel army.
: Elliott took the floor, and said that he
could not touch any chord in his heart
and ho WAS in the Union army, and car
prove his associations with those who
. are opposed to the Republican party.
Neagle said that Chamberlain would
cause no bolt.
Elliott asked if bolt was threatened
. against the majority.
