REMARgs OF GOVERNOR SMITH.
Governor Smith, on taking the chair,
thanked the Convention for the honor con-
ferred upeis him. and hrfefy aaiutied u the
objects ofthc Convention. It was to send dele.
gates to the great Baltimore Convention, upon
whose proceedings might hang the destinies
of the country for many years, and to nomi-
nate electors, who are to have a voice IN the
choice Of the next President of the United
States. This body is met for high and holy
purp,sr. 1t is to rescue our liberty and con-
stitutional rights from vile and unscrupulous
misrulc. How is this to be accomplished
Hitherto the great Democratic party has en-
tered the field with stand,rd-bearers of their
own and fought braycly for victory, but with
ont success. Now another policy seems eX-
pc,ient. The Radical party has been d.
vdcd-thc good men, standing nghast ut the
biddings of the extremists, have gone one
way. and the bad another. BY union with
the former the victory of honesty and pa
triotism over robbery and oppression is at
hand. We must go heart and hand with
those at the head of this new movement.
There must be no division among US. The
stragglers must be brought in. Who OF us
can hesitate to Use jew, Gentle, or the Devll
to beat Grant and his officc-holding myrmi-
dons. A distinguished man, who writes
good deal about "What he knows about
ftrming,' has said that we must expect
"squash" in November, and squash theirs e,
viii ca,. he wh"n we we rj rwij do in the next presi
dcnti,l a,.s.i.,',. The speaker had no doubt
OF the result il we stand together. Grant
will be beaten, and if beaten, he for ono
cared not whether the blow is struck with
blackjack, dog-wood, gum, or genuine
hickory. [Applause.]
