what manner they may be altered o
amended.
ReSoIued, The interests Of labor and capl
tai should not be permitted to conflict
but should be harmonized by judiciou
Legislation. While such conflict contin
ues, labor which Is the parent Of wealth
is entitled 10 paramount consideration.
ReSolred, We proclaim to tho worll
that principle Is to be preferred to power
that the Democratic party Is held togethe
by the cohesion Of time honored princi
Piles, which they will never surrender Il
exchange for al the Offices which Presi
dents can confer. The pangs of minoritie
are doubtless excruciating, but we wei
come an eternal minority under the ban
ner inscribed with our principles, rathe
than almighty and everlasting majority
purchased by their abandonment.
ReSo!ued, That having been betrayed o
Baltimore into false creed and a ialsC
leadership by the Convention. We re
pudiate both and appeal 10 the people t
approve our platform, and to rally 10 tht
polls, support the true platform and can
dldates who embody It
While ballot was being taken of thC
votes OF the various States, 1t ELECTED al
Outburst Of enthusiasm. Before the VolC
was announced, much confusion and ex,
citement occurred in consequence OF al
attempt made by delegate from Ohio, Il
nominate Geo. II. Pendleton, and thC
charge that the gentleman was thu
Secretary of the Liberal Club o.
Cincinnati. On this announcement thC
Chair was simultaneously addressed from
various parts ofthe house by excited indi
viduals violently gesticulating and speak
ing in the loudest tones. In vain the
President hammered and called them tC
order.
The accused finally secured hearing
and declared that the charge was false
That he Is and always was Democrat
and that he had paid his own expenses to
the Convention, representing tho Labor
Reform interests Ot Ohio.

BlGntoH Duncan, Esp:
DEAR SIR-I have not the least hesita.
ton in saying now that in case you nomi.
nate Mr.. O'Conor l shall support your
nomination cordially. / do not mean to
say that l should support many other men
that may be selected, but him can give
heart as well as hand 10, and my Observa.
tions have convinced me that his name
would recall most Of our bewildered SOL
diers TO the ranks aud secure by no means
an Insignificant accession from the
Republican camp. You perhaps realize
the wide spread disgust with Grant which
prevades the intelligent men of the Re.
publican party and l never felt its whole
force and vlgor until my experience in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, SC, &c.
Indeed there were men down on both
candidates and accept q choice of evils
as an admitted necessity. As to your
hint about the Vice Presidency, l con,
less l do not covet that thing; indeed l
should decline it outright, If in this case
it might not seem to most to be fanking
a iorlOrn hope That l don't like to appear
to do, but at the same time I beg you
will find better man. In case there
should be any real and general incllna.
tion 10 couple my name with Nj. o. COnOr's
it would strain my sense Of honor TO re.
fuse in sucA fight, but for Gods sake
do not push or pullit or force it. Truly &c,
10. ADAMS.
Mr.. Currier Of Louisiana presented the
name OF Henry A, Wise. Mr.. Monroe of
Indiana presented the name OF Hon. A. s.
EdgertOn. Mr.. Curry OF Ohio said il
j. Q. Adams was Democrat he was
not, and if he was a Democrat ]. Q
Adams was not. We want western
man, a live Democrat as candidate for
the Vice Presidency. Mr.. Stackpole OF
Illinois defended reconciliation candi-
dates representing principles that will
represent all sections. Let US have u ticket
made up Of O'Conor and Adams. Give
US tho best men, no matter where they
live in the Union.
Mr.. Monroe, of Indiana, defended the
claims Of Mr.. Edgerton 10 the nomina.
ton. He said the battle-ground Of this
contest is to be Indiana. As that State
goes, so will the election. Give US our
candidates, O'Conor and Edgerton, and
We will win the battle in November. In.
diana can break the backbone Of Greeley.
Mr.. Beekmau, OF New York, insisted
that New York was the real battle. ground.
There the money and influence oi Tam.
many must be encountered and van.
pushed.

To BIdHton Duncan, Esq:
DEAR SR:-Yodr's of the Goth instant

Convention Is governed by principle
eschewing mere policy, the pretext and
