The great national question now before
them. He said that it would be very un-
wise TO allow a difference OF opinion upon

interfere with the interests OF the whole

ton Of the great party thst had done such
GOOD service to our own Stale and the coun-
try at large.

dorsed the sentiments expressed By Mr.

question OF tue day. He said that he bad
always been Readiuster, but be regarded
his opinion on that subject as Of purely
local character, and did not intend that it
should interfere in the least with the duties
that he owed to his country, or his attach
nent to the Conservative party, with which
he felt identified and intended to labor as
heretofore. He pledged himself to stand
by the nomination that should be made at
the Cincinnati Convention and support the
nominee in every way in his power, and
called upon all Readiusters to TALL into line
with him and work for the candidate OF the
Conservative party.
