sembled to survey the past history of the party;
to rejoice as we may because Of the good it has
done; to correct the errors there be; to discov-
er If possible the wants Of the present and with
patriotic firmness to provide for the future.
Our past history is the Union preserved slavery
abolished by its former victims are equally and
The public faith is maintained. We have I'M
bounded credit at home and abroad, currency
convertible into coin and the pulses of industry
throbbing with renewed health and .vigor in
every section OF prosperous and peace
fnl ,;t, country. hhes' ova are the the
verse policies gained in the military and civil
conflicts Of the last twenty-four years. Out OF
these conflicts has come a race of heroes and
statesmen challenging confidence: and love at
home and respect and admiration abroad; and
! now, when We came to select standard bearer
for the approaching conflict, our chief eTnbar-
rassment is not in the want but in the abnnd-
ance Of presidential material New York has
her true and tried statesman, upon whose adj
ministration and fierce and even unfriendy
| light Of public scrutiny has been turned, and
the universal verdict is, Well done, thou good
and fat ful servant r Isl ss
| VERMONT HAS HER GREAT STATESMAN
whose mind is as clear as the crystal springs at
his native state, and whose virtue Is as Arm &c
its granite hills Ohio can come with name
whose history is the history of the Republican
party itself Illinois can come with one who
