Mr. Coit read.a series of resolutions ratifying the nominations, which were adopted unanimously, The Chairman thea introduced to the meeting Mr. Sinas B. Durcugr, candidate for Congress from the Becond district, who said that the question before them imu this campaign war whether the republican party had so administered the government #0 as to command the confidence, respect or support of the American people, In 1861, when Abraham Lincoln (applause) was Inaugurated Presi- dent, he found domestic anarchy, and that in the atrongholds of the democratic party rebellion had been twaugurated. The Sub-Treasuries, the Mints and the arsenals of the South were taken possession of by the rebels, who were working to destroy the government. He called wsbout him as his advisers true republicans, such as Seward, Chase and others, who worked truly and nobly. ‘The resgit was that within five years, the rebellion was so thorongtly crushed that another one would never be maugurated here again, Mr. Dutcher did not say (hat there were not true Union men in the democratic party, as there were many, and those would now by the Union as they bad heretofore, The speaker stated that | the repubhean party stce its organization had | recerved many accessiens from the democratic party, especially since 1861, and he predicted that 1t would receive farther accessions in the campaign of 1870, | He compared the position and remnneratton of | laboring men in this country wiih those of working- | men of other countries, and contended that the coi- ; parison was greatly in favor of thove here, He advocated the repeal of the income tax and | | trusted that the revenue would be derived from tax. | upon spirits and tobacco.

He con- tinued:—I say to you that we ab Washington feel a deep, strong interest in this question and whatever of legal power there is in our hands shall be given for the preservation of right—(great ap- | plause)—the true and free expression of the peopie'’s will, If the people mean that the principles ef the repubilean party shall go down and carry with them the interests of ihe people of our own country and | of ai} the peoples of the worid, lei them say so | but we will not take the verdict of ballot-box stuffers.
