Trusting you will make a sound Democratic platform, we remain, etc. On motion, Bayard was empowered to represent Calilarnia in the convention. conven-tion. The committee on credentials : represented twenty-four States: New i York, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan Georgia, Illinois, Nebraska, "Wisconsin! Kansas, "West Virginia, Iowa, Arkansas irginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Tennes-see, N. Carolina, California ew Jersey, Alabama and Mississippi. A committee commit-tee on permanent organization was also appointed, and the convention adjourned ad-journed to 4:30 p.m. Upon reassembling, (J. a Burr, pending the reports of tho committees, made a short speech. The chairman of the committee on credentials reported they had been unablo to obtain and properly engross all the names of delegates, dele-gates, and asked till to-morrow to submit sub-mit a report. The request was allowed; al-lowed; and the committer on permanent organization reported, as follow: president, pres-ident, judge James Lyon', of Vs.; vice president, S. ti. Kielmnis, of Ills.; S. ft. Johnson, of lows; Au?un Yolhnmii of .Mich.; S. "VY. Price, of MUs.: Edward Stokes, of S. C.; K. K. Mm.ie, of "Wi--colonel Horace 11 Mo v. of Md.: judge L. Sibley, of Mo.; David L. Kogg. of N.

E. i Uregory, ol' ow Jerey, Burr, in alluding to the letter of P'Conor, said that distinguished man bad refused the nomination of this convention, con-vention, but, felt that the patriotism of O Conor would not allow him to decline the nomination. (Great applause ) '"1 believe," said Burr, "thai." his "heart U so full of truth and love of country that he cannot refuse." (Applause ) On motion of a delegate, Col. Blanton Duncan was made a member of the convention, and elected first vice nresi-denL nresi-denL , Judge Lyons, permanent president, on being escorted to the chair, proceeded proceed-ed to address the convention, thanking them for the honor conferred, not because be-cause presiding over an honorable convention con-vention was a novelty to him. because it was not, but because he regarded this convention as ono of the most remarkable remark-able bodies that ever assembled in tho Country. It was a convention of the unbought, unpurchaseable, true Democrats. Demo-crats. He reviewed the political situation, and denounced the coalition between the Libeialsand the Democra's as the most remarkable and corrupt over known in any country. He cilled it a combination of sore head politicians, bent upon getting into office at snv ; hazard, and in any wav. He criticized the character of Greeley, declaring the 1 belief that he never even conceived an honest opinion much less held to one 24 hours. Referring to the plank as the Cincinnati platform, demanding an amendment to tho constitution to conlino the President to one term, he opposed it as an innovation upon the constitution of the fathers, for which there was no good reason. At the conclusion of Lyons' speech, a motion to appoint a committee on resolutions reso-lutions was agreed to; as was also a motion mo-tion to refer O'Connor's letter to that committee. A motion to add Mr: Browning, who represented the labor reformers, to tho committee on resolutions, resolu-tions, created an excited discussion, and much confusion, which was only ended by its withdrawal, and when a motion to adjourn was carried and the convention adjourned till to-morrow at 10 a.m. O' Connor's letter has greatly strengthened strength-ened him with tho delegates, who regard him with such respect and affection, as to movo them to tender him tho nomination in spite of his firm declination. They feel that, with his letter as a platform, himself him-self as a candidate for President, and Jno. Q. Adams for Vice President, they can make such an appeal to the .Democracy .Demo-cracy of the country as will turn the masses from tho Liberal candidates. Hence this ticket is likely to bo nominated. nomi-nated. "With these two distinguished men, it is said, snch strong German Ger-man Democratic papers, as the Cincinnati " Volksfreund, " tho St. Louis " Anzeiger " and tho Philadelphia Phila-delphia " Democrat " will support that ticket. The leaders of the movement move-ment regard the convention so fur as a great success. The convention is remarkable re-markable far the largo number of old men as delegates, and for the very small extent of whisky drinking, as compared with such conventions generally.. Phro-nologically Phro-nologically und physically speaking, it io not often that such a body gets together to-gether in u nominating convention. O'Conor's letter. Louisville, 3. The main point in O'-Conor'8 O'-Conor'8 lot,tor, vliioh is yery long asido from tho reiteration of bis unalterable unalter-able objections to Greeley, and the expressed ex-pressed belief that between Grant and Greeley tho country has far loss to fear from the former than from the latter, is an elaborate expression of his views 'on taxation, tho abolition of all excise taxes and duties, and, the prohibition against borrowing money by any branch ot government, lederai, State, or municipal. munici-pal. This, he argues, would provent wars and placo tho country in a condition condi-tion of unprecedented prosperity. In declining the nomination he gives as his first reason, the belief that other leaders can be found who aro more likely to ensure en-sure success, his unwillingness to subscribe sub-scribe to a platform containing professions profes-sions of faith, and finally a preference for tho quiot of a private life. |
