The members of the Conventibn haying
assembled at the place of worship bfj the
f ourth resbyterian Churchrat 1 0 o'clbck,
V Mr Kremer, -6f "Pennsylvania, stated
the objects of thertneetirig; Undonjhis jriio
tion the Hon. Andrew Stevenson, of Vir
ginia, wa;s unanimously called to the chair.
' Mr, evorjsonl accordingly, upbn; ta
king his scat, arose and delivered the fol
lowing address. ' ' I .
To be called, "unanimously, to preside
over , the xleliberatmns of an assembly so
numerous and enlightened as this, at such
a time, and on suchj an occasion, is an hon
or that any man might justly be proiic. of.'
It would be an unWDrthy. affectation in me,
gentlemen, if I" did not say that I reqeive
,vith deep sensibility this high and distin
guished markf your confidence and fa
vor, and shall cherish it through life with
feelings of , profound respect and afTeciion
iato gratitude; On my part I can onlyjpro
misc an honest effort to justify the. choice
you have made-, by the manner in wtiich
the duties of the. station shall be perfprm
ed. , Toehable me to do this with hpnor
to myself and satisfaction to you, I shall
need and.expec; your firm co-opcratiorj and
considerate indulgence. -
Although I Am quite sure that yqu re
quire ,noj adrtionitidn from me as to: ihe
.manner in hich . your proceedings and
deliberations ought to becondiictcd, I shall
be pardoned by you, hope, In seizing this
occasion to jpffer Vipne or two sugestfons
for your consideration. The object for
which we have assembled, apart fromjeon
siderations of personal honor and charac
ter, are iff a nature which especially de
mand tliat the proc.eedinsrs ol this Conven
tion should not only be conducted with de
liberation, dianitv. and 'order, but marked
by a spirit of the utmost harmony! and
union.'
wn, 'or. I means rmployed ih refer
ence: merely to the locality of the individ
uals! Tbje statiors are to be fillejd, and
they-who fill them, should know that their
elovationlhas not been cadsed b their be
ing in thijs or that section of trie Union, or
tht ir haA'Ing been born near the spot where
the first revolutionary blood was spilt, nor i
obstructed in consequence merely dl Iheir
residence-being on the waters of the far
westl ,Jar otherwise." .'Let -the inquiry
be, Who is he that will combine the great
est republican strength, m relation to the
nation., aSjd best preserve ths unity! of the
Democratic party? Who i he that best
umJerstanjds the principles and nature of
our. Government, and will administer it in
the true sjpirit of the constitution ? i Who
will carry out tne principles oi inq jener
sonian eri, and General Jackson's Admin-
istration-t-an Administration which has
done so rfmch to advance tfie prpsperity
and happiness of! our country, and place it
on trie irojble emmence on which it now
stands ! Such men, the candidates of no
section, but the candidates cf the people,
ought to q supported. ; ; . j
Gentlefnen, tojsucvA'ed we must continue
to be united and vigilant ;, for it is only by
perpetual! vigilance that Liberty is to be
preservet. The People are as yet victo
rious, an4 the Xtemocratic spirit, like the
Genius of Liberty, is pervadiuGf the land ;
but the enemy is stilHn the field and pre
pared for battle. If his motto be to divide
and conquer, let ours be union and safety.
This if the spirit and temper in which
we should act, and these the considerations
that suggest themselves to my mmd. I
throw thfm out- lor your consideration;
you will jive them the weight they merit.
IjUt me,'ii conclusion, again remind you
that the subject is one, not only highly im
portant, but dear to the People, and that it
is our solemn duty to take care that in our
hands it jreceiYCS no injury, I ardently

the following gentlemen were unanimous-! (j. Resolved, That" the candidates for
ly appointed Secretaries of the Conven-, President arid vice President, shall be de
signated severally' the Candidate for
President first, by the ballots of the person
or persons selected to give the votes of the
respective States, without nomination in
Convention, and that if a choice is not
made upon the first balloting, the respec
tive delegations, shall retire and prepare
for a second ballot, and. continue this
mode of voting until a selection is made.
Mr. Saunders briefly explained. The
committee proposed in the first place, that
the ballot should first and separately be ta
ken on a choice for Presidentrand then on
that of Vice President ; and secondly, that
any nomination iu convention should be
dispensed with. This course had -been
recommended for the purpose "of prevent
ing any. violent angry, and unnecessary
discussion that might otherwise arise. It
was , presumed that all the delegates had
come there prepared to vote, and there was
no necessity for xliscussioii of tiny kind,
which could result in no good but on the
contrary mirhtbe'produrtiveof much evil.
The resolution was then agreed to.

He then rejoices to thirili that ".they
will come before the House of KepresHii
tatives, for a selection from that number lor
President." He expresses his belief that
this mode will most effectually secure the
rights of the people, :a'nd concludes by
saying:
'Never again da I wish to set a Pre
sident n avy other wanner elected. At

serving the small front being swallowed

To steal poAVer from the many and lodge
it with the few, -is the grand aim of Whi?
ambition: To remove as far as ' possible
from the people the election of President,
is their ruling desire. They .may make
up 1 their minds, to one thing. The next
election of President : will be by the peo
