| absolute disregard of the reform sentiment of
the nation, and represent political methods and
principles to which we are unalteTably opposed.

party that they have proper men, and we hope
they viii put them before the people for cleo
tiOn.

seconding the fourth resolution, said " l
must confess it will be only by dispensa-
ton of Providence that the Democratic
party will give us the candidate we want.
If we put on our platform their candidate
it will be better for them, and perfectly sat
isfactory to us. But political progress is to
be only by conflict of national parties, and
as rule by two national parties. There
fore hope that out of this meeting will
grow new party, as one was grown years
ago We want to found a new party in
our country-a party of national principles,
and one which looks forward to national
triumph"
