dered by your committee, aud ratified by your.
selves, as an honor rendered ~ the great old
Commonwealth which has sent me as one Of its
delegates 10 tits Contention. Since 1861 In no

has turned an inlexibly defiant face 10 the enc
my; she says no truce with treason, malignity
aud bolt, and every thing that is not National
lCheers.1 Sue has determined to roll up fol
the nominees of this Convention a majority sucf
as will entitle her to continue what she has lont
been, and ! say 1t with all respect, foremost IL
the Republican cause. (Applause.1
