may be eelected OF the favorite sons. or
| Whatsoever state may succeed in this
convention, we shall join in the exulta-

in the ensuing contest. This is the
spirit in which we meet our brethren,
and this is the spirit in which we expect
to be reciprocated. In no other, can
the harmony and the dignity OF the
statee be fostered and preserved by this
convention.
In thus presenting and conceding the
force and strength OF the candidates OF
t, the various states, you will not under
stand us as abating single jot from our
own preference, or gainsaying in the
slightest degree our unciouded convic-
tion that the fortunes OF the party will
rest moat safely in the custody of our
chosen leader from our state. CoDtem-
plate the ensuing controversy from
whatever standpoint ycu may choose,
you cannot escape the fact that our
state is the battle-ground Of the cam
paign. We appreciate the responsibility
OF our position and would speak to you
like men whose blood flows in their
veins. You are the generals OF an army
OF invasion in grand council assembled.
We hail from the Waterloo, and we
fearlessly proclaim that Hill is the
Blucher who can drive the Republican
chieftain TO St. Helena in November.
