Nominations then being in order, NJ. S. Chand-
Ter took the floor and, nominating Gov. Hub
dard, said: sit is we'll known that different
elements of disaffection which threaten to
destroy the party, are represented in this CON

peace and harmony shall grow out of it, or
whether the party shall receive its death-blow in
the state. am for harmony and Cancellation!
was a Jealous supporter of Window, and from
the purest motives! 1 believe his name will
stand emblazoned on the pages of history un-
dimmed by age long after Republican and DEM
Ocratic parties shall have been consigned to OBJ
livion! Saying this of Window, 1 must also
come to know him as do, they will know him
only to love him! His large, noble and generous
heart beats in unison with the people of the
state, and if his life and health is spared, pre-
dict he will be like Douglas, the Little
Giant of the northwest Had l the time and
language at my command l could say equally as
good things about Senator Mcmillan, Major

will shine with no less brilliancy than that of
the large-hearted, good-natured Ramsey, the
meek and truthful Marshall, the eloquent and
educated Davis, the patriotic Miller, who has

honest Pillsbury and other illustriOus govern

Hubbard used to come to my house frequently
as one of my family, and strip his administra-

| On t, g waters so troubled my sweet oil pour,
A lubricant simple for fostering sore;
! I've tried it mys-f urol personal grief,
| When WinuOm beat, and found speedy
relief;
Its chief virtue is, it does not irritate
| Any carbuncle, tumoT wart In the state:
And while easing the pangso of WindO defeat,
Can soften the corns Dunnell has on his feet;
Can sr,ooth the eczema from STRAITS tender
skin,
And drive all the pimpIes, ON Washburn's
face, in;
*'Tis ''rex ma znus'' sure, this wonderful oil
Soaked in it the most fragrant Statesman won't
spoil;
Touch villainous act, and twill marvelou:
shine,
And vice wear the halo of glory divine!
One touch of this oil and political taint,
Is presto! quick changed to the whiff of a saint
No matter how putrid the carcass-bathe well
And nobody then can detect from the smell
That 'tis not In fact the sweet essence of roses
That rises and OOzes right under their noses!
l have tried it on many, and honestly think,
Not one have swabbed but did more or less
stink
When my o was put on, but soon as twas dOn'
The scent of an angel peryaded each one!
Like tine touch of a Prophet, or great Wizard
wand,
This wonderful oil can twist rope cut of sand;
Make heroes of asses make great men of small
And what is still stranger make statesmen of all
Make acts that enDOble, from meanest of tricks
Into best polished marble transmute common
bricks:
From commonest clay carve the statues of gods
Make death bearing bullets from mere pape
, wads;
, Crown vice as virtue, the brazeu exalt,
Make modesty shameful and wisdom a fault!
Ali! the oil that can no these strange things. if

And rItere did 1 get it, and hor, you may ask
, Ali friends, it was slLred in my breast like
cask
And accident foundit and strangely revealed
This valuable ichOr within me concealed!
! That this oil did not always remain in the womb
Is wonderful feather from Sabin's own plume
Had it not been for him, it would ever beer

Its virtues unsounded. its doings undid;
But Sabin, Ia wonderful statesmen is he,
Or if not Just vet will most certainly be;)
Although l opposed him, and thoug 1t at the
time
That treason to Window was almost crime:
, Still Sabin when in, was SO virtuous, wise,
The scales fell at once from my ignorant ewes
And love him, yes love him, and think very
soon,
He'll 90 up very high like a monster balloon:
And there, should his health be spared, brilliant
and far,
He'll shine on his worshippers, just like star
When he knows him as do, what doubter vii
doubt?
Though l voted ''agin him. his kindness cropped
out,
And he, far above mere partisan rising,
care an office to me, and it is not surprising
7 Like the winds of Holus, roaring and crushing
1t seemed all my innermost vitals were gushing
1t seemed l must speak, and to Faction, cry
Pause.
Urge the tigers of party to pull in their claws
Admonish the lions, and al o the lambs,
How true brethren look sitting squat on thei
hams,
All the virus of hate metamOrphosed to grace,
And love beatifc shining bright in each face!
| oh! to be such an instrument, what delight!
To rescue the party from terrible plight!
To bring back TIE leaders to orthodox ways,
The sage, spoil dividing, of happier days!
1t seemed all at once as if wicked were quarrels
And up from my gratitude, barrels and barrels
OF elegant oil, pent within me, up spurted,
And over a long list of Statesmen was squirted
Every man in the State, from Bluff Alex t.
Hubbard,
OleaginOus dose got from out of my cupboard;
All the living were creased well, at least all the
head ones;
And crossing the Styx, also, some of the dead
ones;
1t seemed that l must friends and enemies kiss
To show how blanked thankful l was for ali
this;
Once appointed by Sabin, and made Surveyor
Love came to my soul, and began there to lay
her
Nice eggs, and when natural ardor did hatch
them,
