Long before the district delegations had
all adjourned the fhrong began moving
toward Music Hall, and as! delegation
after delegation and crowd after

fusion or unnecessary delay.

sented very handsome appearance.

the platform of this organization, that
it may be such as to in
spire friends and foes alike with that
confidence in its integrity and respect for
its principles SO that it shall most unmis-
takably declare to our Chief Magistrate

JUDGE WEIGHS SPEECH.
MY FRIENDs-The country is on the eve of an
other revolution. might almost say, ip the Ian
guage Of Webster, eve are in the midst OF a revo-
lutiOn.' There is as much reason for rtering
those startling words now as there was in 1882,
when they were uttered by their author, or as
there was in the winter Of 1860, when the late re-
bellion was in embryo. | am no alarmiSt but |
seriously fear, and verify believe, that revelation
OF the Government is now conCocting at Washing
ton. City, and that ifthe madeaps there who are
now in the ascendant can have it their way, the
country is in imminent danger of being again
plunged into war. To avert such catastrophe
the country must depend upon the wisdom and
efforts OF the great Republican Party; and |
deem It the duty OF severy member of that party,
be he old or young, to come forward and
contribute his aid in other words, we
are threatened with asecond rebellion, and the
country looks TO- the Republican party to devise
means for avertng it, OF putting IT down. The
leading strings OF great party, which has more
than once proved itself dsloya to the governme ent
are now in the hands OF its fire caters and reckless
members just as was the case in 1851 and as came
near being the case in March, 1877. The masses of
that party. and its wise and patriotic men, are
unable to stay the tide, or to hold the hands OF
these reckless sseaders. They seem determined to
override all party opposition. and TO disregard all
counsel and warning from their own friends. The
venerable. Alexander II. stephens, late Vice Pres-
dent OF the Coniederacy, ashe did in Montgomery
at the Inauguration OF the late rebellion, has
