He is endeared to us -Y cherished memories, and we can but regard with islt pride this evicence of the appreciation of bis countrymen Perhaps. Mr. Presicent, Kentucky bas us more than her share of the honors fn this Convention. James Buchanan was son of her early adoption. He was, for a time, a citizen of the Stste, end however short was the perio? of his citizen sbip. bis gubsequent renown causes us to treasure th recollection with honeat pride, che other nominee is » native of the Stete—s grandron of thet John Breck- epridge wbo i{ntrocuced the memorable resolu tion of 1798, which yet comatitutes the foundation of the States’ rights creed. Tae purity of his life and the energy of his intellect command the re- spect end confidences of our people of thia genera - tloa, With such ticket. Kentusky will move forward with the same generoatty of irapulse forthe redemption of the country that marked her struggles for the statesman of Acniacd. The news of his nomination, which is now Yeing transmitted by telegraph to her people, will be re- ceived with acclaroations of joy and triumph. But, why do Usand here? Why ie it necessary for me to rezpond to the call of the Convention; me, who, but a short time since, belonged to the old, honored organization, the acvereary ct the democratic party, ou great questions of public policy’ 1 find shat organization dissoived, are myself and thousands of others driven, for the maintenance of our constitu ional rights, into the ranks of our fozmer opponents. The tast two years hare witnersed the dissolution of the whig party, and the up- rising of a deluge of tanatical factions which threstened to overwheim ihe equal rights of the States, the coust!- tution of the country, and the proaperity of the people. fam one of those two or three hundred thousand old whigs whe, di«claiming the shallow heresies and proserlp- tion teneta cf the toiscalied american patty, acorn all du- plicity, abjure allcompromise aud rather choose to stand inhoncrable alliance #ith our former opponenta in de’ence of that constitu ion which makes us one people, thar to take the sensslers and absurd oaths of the wre'ched Kuow Nothing Order. During tnis tims the democrats have trcven themasives equai to thir ancient repuration: but isis now our enviable fortune to aid in the battle and chare in the glory of victory. Not the acquisition of Louisiana, with her fertile pisins—not the annexation of Texas, which extenieq the empire still further southward—-not the plantiog of our standard uipon the turrets of Mexido, or the struggies thet won the golden shores of California, will eyuel in moment or importance that great contest upoa waich we now enter, for the preservation of our internal tranquillity, the mainteinanse of our laws, the restoration ot conc yrd and the perpetuation cf the grand political system bequeath- eito us by our revolutionary fathers. For the de- fence of these principles, the democratic party atand in battle arrey, against ll adver-ariss, de. fisot in their pataiotiam, onergetis in tbe virtue and conscivus purity cf thetr motives—that they will maintain them with impregnable strength against the assaults of every acversyry of true republicanism, In that battie not less then tvo hundred thousand earn- oat and most devoted adherents to the old whig party wi'l be fouvd standing shoulder to shoulder with them, animated by no hope but for the public welfare, forgetful of the past and determined by a bold and fearless alliance to win the victory in the approaching Presidential oon- teat.
