had about concluded that their short
cOmings hSd been either forgotten or
forgiven, and that they were soon to
be invested with the political power
Of the nation. Ii is scarcely possible
to conceive OF 3 greater error. He
who controls the destinies of the na-
tiOn as well as the affairs OF individu-
ais, has kindly permitted our Demo-
cratic friends to take q far-off view OF
the situation, bat years of probation
aud repentance will be necessary be-
fore they can enter and possess the
promised land.
I'VE should approve the course of
all faithful public servants, from the
highest to the lowest, whether they
belong to our political party or to the
party OF our opponents, and reject all
Who are not worthy, OF whatever par

Hon. AlOnzo B. Cornell was than
unanimously chosen temporary chair
man, and in the course of his address
said
"YOu meet as the representatives of
the great party which saved the na-
tiOn when its life was threatened by
rebellion-that party which. during
the twenty years of its existence, has
accomplished more 10 conserve and
promote the cause of good govern
ment than all other parties since the
adoption OF the Federal Constitution.
"Flie Republican party has always
been party of reform. 1t was found
Ell for the purpose OF correcting the
great national evil, and in this benefi-
cent work IL met but one enemy-the
Democratic party-which, in its ef-
forts to preserve and extend slavery,
turned upon the Union and became
the rebellion. 1t created n treason
Obie sentiment which result ted in the
assassination of the President and
plotted for the reputation of the. ma
tiOnal debt.
Last year the Democratic party
bl1adered into eleeting an honest
Governor, and while I would not in
the least detraet from the good work
(which the Executive Is so Zaalously
engaged in. | denounce as false and
hypocrltieal the pretensiOns of the
Democratic party. The Republican
party, through its Attorney General,
inaugurated the war against the
Canal ring, ard q Republican Legisla-
ture proposed the Constitutional
amendments which were last year
ratified by the people.
SIN the last Presidential Conven-
ton, owing to unfortunate eircum-
stances, q portion of our former MEM
bers were led away and found them
selves in hostile camp. The causes
which led to this diversion have now,
happily, ceased to exist, and many Of
our old colleagues desire to resume
their former allegiance. Let us hold
out the olive branch and welc Jme
their return. No pride of opinion nor
personal resentment longer separate
from US those who cherish our princi-
Piles and desire to cooperate with
u.s."
The usual Committees on perman-
ent Organization, Resolution, &C.,

AFTERNOON SESSION.
