COLONEL HUGHES SPEECH.
To-day the Convention was called to order at
twelve O'Clock. The feature Of the day was the
speech OF Colonel Hughes. The body had scarcely
assembled when there were loud calls for the stan
dard bearer or the party, who came modestly to
the stand.
He began his speech by eulogizing the nationa
Union, claiming that 1t has moral relations with
its divine Head and constituent members The
Union and saved It rom destrue.on. The platform
Of the party IS as sound as its nag Is sacred; It
em6odies great principles which are the guarantee
mony and glory. Hatred, intolerance and pro-
scrptveness are not among the characteristics Of
thanked God for the three amendments to the
constitution, which embodied the principles Of
his party. These measures settled the qucs-

counties. To incite, therefore, a conflict OF one
race against brother race Is to rebel against
the ordinations OF God, to reject the precept3
OF Christianity, and TO curse the land with the
bitterest OF ali strifes and 1ercest OF all antago-
nisms. There must be peace between races for the
sake of the material and moral welfare OF the Com

those ofIlce-hoders whose only tenure OF office in
the state has been their tenure OF Office. Never
