R<sotred, That ve appeal 10 the honor
and manhood OF the American people -
begin this second century OF America
Union and independence by tram ping
under foot and extinguishing forever the
smouldering sshes OF distrust rancor and
animosity betseea the two great Sec
tions Of our common country. We de.
nounce With indignation the calculated
malignity With which the leaders Of the
Republican psfty have lsbore,l a. keep
alive through several Years OF
peace, the worst pass Ions OF the civl wAr.
The Machiaveiian motto Of the Republi-
can party has been, and is. 10 divide the
people, and We shah rule them. For the
Democratic party We reply, unite the
people and make them free. We de-
nounee the Republican party on this
great issue - . party Of fsise pretenses.
This fslse pr~tense to assume the charac-
ter of = national party, and ~ the same
time 10 exist only by sectional division.
Il is false pretence 10 assume the
name Of the UnIon party, and M the
sametime TO be an obstacle 10 national
unity. IL is & false pretsnce 10 assume
the name of the liberal party, and At the
ssmetime sppesl TO the religious preiu.
dices of the people. II Is false pre,enee
TO claim the title of progressive party,
and at the same time turn the people
back from peace in the future 20 war in
the past.

Mr.. wiilisms-I desire 70 say. SIR. that
it is very doubtful, from the information
that has come to my knowledge from on"
Of the Committee on Resolutions, stand
ing here st my right, whether it will be
possible for the Committee on Resolu-
tlons TO report before that hour, and
il we come here at 10 o'clock and
the Committee on Resolutions ARE not
ready to report, We shall be here IN our
seats with nothing 70 do. | have re-
ceived Information that by II o'clock, the
Committee on Resolutions will be ready
70 report, and therefore move that 10 n
much better for Us TO adjourn 10 IL
instead OF 10 O'Clock, aud therefore in.
sist that we adjourn TIL II o'clock.
Mr. Williams motion Was carried and
the Convention adjourned till tomorrow
