Those who wished ill to the cause had con- gratulated themselves that harmony could not pre- vail in a convention composed of portions of all the arties. He rejoiced in the indications here pointment. He referred to the ig of Frankii atthe clese of the convention,in which that old sage referred to the doubta he entertained as to whether the eun at the back of the President's chair was a rising or eetting sun; but after the results of the deliberations of that body of illnetrious patriots he was convinced that it wasa risingsan. So the sun of to-day. Mr. B. felt assured that it was a rising sun. These resolutions, said Mr. B., virtually declare for the repeal of the repeal, because they strike for freedom for the Territories, at all hazards. Was not this a step in advance? When did the old organizations take as bold ground as that? He was full of hope. He “felt it in his bones’’ that the day of tricmph was at hand. vi Mr. Cowen, from the Committee on Nominations, reported the following aa the uoanimous choice of the committee:— FoR JUDGE OF THE SUPREMF COURT, JOSBIH R.
