Mr. Gallagher (Md) con- aratulated the Covvention on the unan'mity which prevailed among them, and be was ales prowl to say that the peop'e were with them. He might ex- claim wih the mau in the play, “By S$). Paull the work goes bravely on." He srong!y urged the ne- cessity of a pe: manent organ ration. L ke a certain bivb functionury he was renindei of a story in Which aman figured for whom uohmly cared, ex- cept litle vegro boy, and the man used to thrash him for the offences of all.

Ho remarked that in bis emal! business he used toeinploy 70 or 89 men, while now be coud onls employ 10 or 12, in consequence of tle tux, He urged unanimous action omoag ive whole trade with re.ard to placing the tax on the lew! The Commitico on Resolutions here euterod apd reported that they bud beard the essay prepared by Mr. Edward Bourke rv fan abstracs of whic sppesred in yesterday's Brn,, aud they re- commended that one thousand copies be prinied and distributed, one to each member ot rgrena, and to such other partes as tl. he be deemed advisable. A moton war aldopid to the effect that al! seyar makers, cutters soul grinders and other Uranches of the trade, should got up a petition in their several Congressional dis- trivta, and send the same to Cougress through the members from aaid districts, proving that the tax be laid upon the leaf.

They were al! called rebels in Mesour!. (A voloe—' Not now.") But, to relieve the ‘jumping off place’ of the far Weat from any suspicion of disloyalty, he proposed three rousing cheers for * The Flag of our Union," which were given with a will, the band playing ‘Mail Columbia,"* A number of pa- triotic speeches followed, in which Mr. Huntoon of Rhode Island, said if 25 per cent weve not enough he was willing to give 50, Me bad more tobacco on band than he bad ever Lefore, and if the govern. tment wanted it, they could have it.
