M., with an attendance of about two hundred, The permanent organization was perfected, as already indicated, except that a committee to look after the proceedings of the Lib- eral Convention and report to this Convention was dispensed with, JUDGE RUFUS P. RANNEY, on taking the chair, made-an extended speech, im which he defined what he understood to be the ob- Ject of this movement. He declared that ft was not to attack any man, except as that man stood in the way of truth and true principles of government.’ If it were a mere contest for oitlce, merely to turm | out one set of officers and put in another, ho would not turn over his hand in the matter, The great danger now was centralization of power im the general government and the deprivation of the power of local self-government in the States. No existing party was able to stena the current now setting towards centralization and corruption, It was treason to our consciences ta remain at the tail of existing political parties while the country’s interests are at stake, With- out referring to the whole cataiogne of abuses now existing the administration he instanced the effort to swallow up the genuine sovereignty of the States on ‘text ofa horror of secession, All the statesmen the administration decried State sovereignty, and a celebrated Minister, who comes from the pulpit t ostrum whenever his party gets in a tight place, admitted that the States have rights,’ but no sovereignty, HM thanked God that soverelguty resided in the people and not in the state or geheral government, The people delegated certain powers to the State and certain: powers to the general government, but reserved other powers to themselves. ‘The great danger was corruption— athirst for power to gain gold, The longer the power the more certainty there was of a carcass om which foul birds from the four winds may settle. Af ter the heavy expenditure of the war trne state hip would have dictated econ- omy; wi had been done?
