MT. 0,6; Of 'Pennsylvania,
Chairman of the comibittee on organ
iiation•rePorted that the et:inmate°
had unanimously agreed upon Hora.
tio Seymour as permament president
of the Convention.
The announcement was greeted
with ipplause, and the report adopted
by acclamation.
Governor Seymour spoke as f9l
lows : .. •
Gentlemen of the Convention, I
cannot forecast the resolutions and ac
tion oitbis Convention, but I say that
eVery•member of it that loves the,
desires peace and will uphold
constitutional freedom.'
While thexesolutions and action of
this: Convention are of the utmost km.
portance, there. are reasons why the
Democratic party should be restored
to power, and they are good reasons.
. The Democratic - party will restore
the, Union because it longs for its res
toration. It_'bring
peace, be
cause it loves peace. - will bring
backliberty to our laod .because it
loves liberty.
It will put down•despotism . because
it hates that ignoble tyranny which
now degrades the American people.
Four years ago a convention met
in this city when our .country was
peaceful, prosperous - and united.
Its•delegates did not mean to de
stroy.our Gbvernment,,to overwhelm
us with debt, or to drench our land
with blood, but they were animated
by intolerance of.the spirit of our in
stitutions, the character of our peo
ple ariddthe :condition of •our land.
They thought they; might safely in.
•dulgetheir passions,-. and .they -eon
eluded to do 50...
- - ,They would trot; heed the warnings
of our fathers, and they did not con
sider' that meddling begets strife.
Their passions have brought out
their, natural. results:,
They were .impelled to spurn all
measures of compromise. .•
Step by stepthey have marched on
to results:from which" at the onset
they would have shrunk with horror.
And even now, when war has desola
ted our land, has laid its heavy bur
thens upon labor, and when bankrupt
'ay and ruin overhang us, they will
not have the Union.. restored except
on•conditions unknown to• our Con
stitution. . .
They will not let the shedding of
blood cease even for a little time, to
see if Christian, charity or the wisdom
of, statesmanship,may not •work out a
method to save our country.
Nay, more than this, they will not
liaten to ,proposal for . peace which
does not offer that which this Gov
ernment has no right to get.
The, administration cannot now
save this Union if Awould. It has,
by
,its proclamations by vindictive
legislation, and
,by displays, of hate
and passion, placed obstacles in its
own pathway, which it cannot over
come. It has hampered its own
freedom of action by unconstitution•
piffles.
It cannot be 'said' that the failure
of its policy is due to the ant of
courage and devotion on the part of
our armies._ '•
Never in the history of the world
have soldiers given up their lives
mord freely than have those of the
armies whieh have battled for the
flag of our Union in the Southern
States.
The world will hold that they have
done all that, armies could do; and
had wisdom and statestnansh ip secured
that fruits of their victories, to-day
there would have been . peace in our
land; but while our soldiers: have des
perately struggled with our banners
south to the 'Gulf' of Mexico—even
,
now---the Government declares' in
edict of a General' that rebelliouS "Bs
cobterit has worlied Northivard - to
the shore's Of the great lakes. '
The guaranteed rights of the peo
-ple to'bear' arms have been traiipled
under foot up to the very borders of
Canada, sothat American 'servitude
is put in bold= contrast With British
` 1
This administration Alitis declares
to the world, that it has no faith' in
the peoiilecirt,he Sfittes whose 'rotes
placed it ill' Amiv'er.
It also admits by sut hl an edict
- thift'jtese people have n ith in the
administration:nWhile those in ,poiti
er without remorse sacrifice the blood
acid trea'su're' of onr'people, , they will
uoegive up their own possessions for
'the 'public good. t' •
This Union is now held asunder by
military ambition.
•• If our political troubles could be re
ferred to peaceful arbitrament, %way
from the. contending armies in the
field, our Union would be restored.
The nigh to of the • ,states would be
