JUDGE INGRAM so,nHATTD.
Colonel Il. @. James next arose. and
IN an ornate speech placed in nomination
the name of Judge John II. Ingram, Of
Manchester he said. owing TO the dis
satisfaction and unrest existing in all
political circles at this time it is neces-
sary that this convention should not act
unadvisedly in placing candidate in the
field.
In our deliberations selGshness should
give way to patriotic effort, and indi-
Vidua interest should be lost in the gem
eral good. ! hope each delegate Will be
actuated by the most exalted motives,
Will hold In allegiance his own fancies and
peculiar friendships, VIII part with ms
personal desires and local favoritism, and
place them as a fit offering on the com
mon altar for the country's good.
