MR.. CORNELIUS INVITATION TO THE LIBERALS.
Mr.. COrnelrs remarks on this head were very win
ming. When he spoke Of giving kind and concil-
iatory treatment to those who had been led away,
but whO having seen the error Of their ways, arc
anxious now to come back into the fold, there was
loud and prolonged applause. There was something
very touching in this exhibition of fondness for
those who had wandered away. 1t made one almost
forget that the wanderers had not, as q matter
of fact expressed any penitence or regret or made
any advances toward returning to the fold. and he
would have been an unchartable and evI-dspOsed
person, who in such an hour, and under such an
appeal, should have called to mind the fact that
they did not do this sort of thing when they were
strong and had power Without doubt Mr.. CornelFs
feeling remarks regarding the necessity of treating
tie wanderers kindly were received with more
favor this year than they wOnld have been last year,
or the year before that but that is quite matter of
course. Heretofore they supposed they had some
thing to divide. Now there is nothing but work to
do. 1t is ever so much easier to be good
naturcd when there is work TO divide than
when it is a division of plumber. So the invitation
to those who mad wandered. to como back and saw
wood and help dig cellar was applaudcd vocifer-

1t was after Mr. Cornell had released the Conven-
ton from his address. and the drowsy roll-cal had
ceased, and there had come over the meeting that
sort OF parse and hush which TIE funny delegate

In an impressive manner he stated that, purely to
please TIE NEwYoRX TRIBUNE. he offered the fol-
lowing resolution:

II was an interesting episode. The loud APP

Sir Herring OF Westchester then read his third
term resolutions in q large and efusive way. The
first one which complimentary to the President,
was received with moderate applause and the
second, which as positive and pronounced on tho
subject of a third tern, with the most enthusiastic
demonstrations of approval. 1 presume ii would be

Pcucnont came up fro'n New-York for the ex-
press purpose, as he informed prominent
Ncw-Eng,and Congressman, OF preventing any
expression upon the third-tern question: and Sen
