voting that ticket,' culd'ne othef, I have been,
represented as voting and actingleith the
Democratic party ...the past year.'? Biitit;t
Trailed - and educated a Protestant;t-I have'
been represented as a Roman Catholic, and
flarbleel extracts of a latter written and pub
hed Pittsburgh Pest, twenty years '
ago, against “Nativeism," and denouncing
the idea of bringing religion into party
politics, was 'published in Republican
paperswithoutdate. to make the uppression,l
.that it wag recenfty, - Written, - That was in
1848, and then I was a Demeecrat, and then ,
the Democratic party was anti-slavery, and
opposed to the extension ,Of that institu
tion,into the Territories. When, in 1845,
that party'abandoned that principle, I left
the party, and followed the principle into
the Republican party. I claim to have
been„eonsistent, and yet I have been re
presented as a "political chameleon."
"Extracts" of that letter were publishede
with comments Most'unfairandlunwarrant—
able. In 1848, the people of Catholic and
Protestant Europe., bys„decided move
ment, rose against theirAtteritaddffieciared
for a republican government. Louis Phil
lipe was driven from France, and Louis Na
,poledn, entered , as a repiblidan i While the
great German Orator, Carl Schurz, and the
distinguished Glen. Siegel, led the Republi-.
cans of Gertriany.
In 1848 the Pope of. Rorrie seemed to be
inspired with the prevailing spirit of the
age,,and he declared for a more liberal Gov
ernment for Italy, and under his authority
a liberal assembly was convened In Rome,
of which Garibaldi was a member, and he
promised his people constitutional govern
ment, and he was then . ..hailed as the liber-,
ator of Europe;" then Kossuth was in arms
In Hungary, and the patriotism 'of Blurt
and Dembinsky became immortal; while
the name of Georgel became infamous for
his treachery, When these great events:
were taking place in Europe, that letter was
written in opposition to "Nativeism," and
to bringing religion into'party politics.
The revolution of 1848 in Europe is well
known, and the fatt.iP,tlfs”POpelst first
took a decided stand for more liberal prin
ciples; that he afterwards receded to his
"fttrmert positlOniis also true„and c it was gen
, erally believed that ho was turned , from his
position in favor Of conatitntional:govern
ment by Austrian bayonet's. The Republi
can papers, who circulated those garbled
extracts, that did not give a fair and full
view of the matter, owe it to me to make a
proper correction. In' the manner of, its
publication and use it' was n fraud, amt in
many districts defeated my delegateii:
I shall support Republican principles,
and to the extent of my ability 'labor for
the success of Grant , and Colfax, and other
Republican candidates as 'heretofore.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedientsertant,

Mr. Smith, at the conclusion of the read
ing, moved that General Negley be nomi
nated by acclamation. It was suggested,
however, that action'be deferred until the
Committee on Resolutions had reported.
The Chairman of the Committee on Cre
dentials reported' that" inasinuch' as. Mr.
Howard's name had been withdrawn from
the Convention, the Committee had decid
ad tO admit both sots of delegatti3 from the
contested districts. ,t.,
It was moved that the report of the Com
mittee be accepted, and after some discus
sion, the motion prevailed.
Mr. Stuith withdrew his 'Lotion, and an
nounced that, as the delegates contesting
the seats of himself and colleague for Mt.
Washington were admitted, he withdrew
from the Convention.
Col. J. A. Stewart then moved that Gen.
Kegley be nominated by acclamation. Car

The report was re..ived and on a motion
to adopt, Mr. S. ' of.LawFence
ville moved to lune ad, by alloWing, Mr.
Brush, from the Sixt . ward, but one vote.
Mr. R 4 saidi althoug. B r ush ad been
fairly and` squarely c ecteci a deleOte, his
colleague tied with the opposition. He
could see no fairness n allowing . Brush
tWo.yotes: . . .
Mr. Moorhead, eh• rman of th Comniit
tee, thought the Sixt , ward cer
tled to full represen ation, and it was in
AWE view that the mittee h, . decided
recommend' that Mr. Brush have two
votes. • There being a tie vote b: ween Mr.
.B's colleague and the candida : for dele
gate running againSt trim, the 4 rnmittee
could not recommend the ad > salon of
either, and hence had report d against
both. Unless- Mr.-Brush was - Bowed to
cast two vates; , the Sixth 'ward>, ould not
be fully represented.
Mr. Brush strongly urged his r ght to cast
two votes, and did not do so, he 'd, fiom
individual motive, but in ins ce to the
Sixth 'ward, the only ward in the ity which
"could hold the Bull Rin dist et level."
He had attended County Conve Bons as a
Republican until he had grown grey, and
this was the first time he had heard the
claim set up that a delegate had not a right
to cast two votes in representing his dis
trict.
Mr. Reynolds said he had attended the ,
eleetiori in the Sisit Vrard,',and had never
worked harder at an election in his life.
He opposed Mr. Brush for 'delegate, but he
(Mr. B.) was successful: Mr. Hunnicutt,
Mr. Brush's colleague, however ' had been
tied. Now, to . allow Mr. Brush to cast two
vett*, and thus= deprive the opposition of
the advantage of having tied Mr. Hunni
cutt, would be manifestly - unjust.
After some; further xemarks, , Mr. Rey
nold's amendment was agreed to, and the
report as amended adopted.
3irß d that

Mr. Brown, of Esstltiiviiiikhani, inoVed
to amend, by requiring delegates,lefore
lig allowed to eastetwo votesr, to_ show au
thority for casting a vote of their col- .
leagues.
The amendment was rejected, and Mr.
Nevin's motion adopted.
