REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
» ae
This body assembled at the theater on
Saturday at 11 o'clock, and were. cglled to
order by the Chairman of the County Com. mittee, A. A. Sargent, Esq., who spoke as
follows = -.
Gentlemen of the Convention : It givew me
sure to witness so generala response to
the call for this Conventiou notwithstanding
the inclemency. of the weather. As members
of this body you have important duties to
perform: upon the sigs performance of
which may depend the suceese of correct
principles, aud the defeat of that cliss of men
who cry union while at heart disunionists,
whose sympathies and purposes are antago__histic to the government, thinly concealed by
catchwords about compromise und peaceful
solution of the national difficulties. These
are the men Wha ery ** peace, , when
_ there is no. peace.” In the tena of
Henry; they would have the Gerernment
“lie supinely upon its back while its enemies
are binding it hand and foot.” When insult
after insult is heaped upon the Government, its treasures rifled, its forts as-sailed, its brave soldiera sltin, when vast urmies are assembled to annihilate the Gevernment and overthrow the hopes of humanity
‘forever, a political party rears its head in
this loyal State, to. carp, at all measures of
defense, to question our right to dash the
haud of the robber and murderer from the
_ national throat, to counsel ignominieus sub:
uiission to traitors by ucceeding to their demands for a dismemberment of the national
territory or a yielling up to armed enemies
the dictation of the terms of peace. All this
they would do under the preteace of‘ Union.’
The Union’ they woula have would be as
much worse than the deapotism of Austria
as many tyrants are werse than one. They
are tories, hanging on the skirts of the patriot army. apparently swelling the mass) but
reallyweakening its efforts. Their counsels
are ag.false as their hearts. In the south
they WOuld be secessionistsin name and fact,
here they are such only in fret. They are as
much mere dangerous as a concealed is than
an open foe. These men are our only real
” avtagonists in this State, and let not their . .C
numerical strength be undervalued. I am
firmly convineed, by the signs of the times
that the next officers jof this State will be
either Republican or Secession. The efforts
now being made to erect a third “ Union
party” in this State must tend to distract
and divide the Union vote, and I firmly beheve that such is its object. I do honor to
the motives of some few of the men who have
been entrapped into the support of that
movement, but from its inevitable results,
and the fact that_ite chief promoters are
wen"whe have hitherto relentlessly persecuted Republicans, and bivterly"denounced the
men now constituting the government, I.can
but believ8 that the patent. fact, that the Repadlican party was tast growing from a plurality to a majority party in this State, and
that it was destined thix Fall to sweep the
State, has led to this effort to call off votes
from this teue Union party, and paralyze us
at the polis. Such efforts are in the interest
ofthe Breekinridge' Democratic party, «nd
designed to be so; for the more the Union
vote is scattered, the better fchance for the
concentrated secé=sionists. Such tactics are
not new in our political history, and we have
lived our political lives in vain if we can not
yet see through such maneuvers.
I do not look ‘upon the masses of the Douglas party as political enemies. They are
with us in sentiment, and are divided from
us but by name. Many of them have joined
our ranks since the last election, and many
are LOW coming over. Many more will do so
; Jt we.atand firm to our organization, and
convince them that we are able, with their
help, to beat ‘the Secessioniets. We wel‘ come all such, and I recommend that they
have their fair share of the honors aud. rewards of victory, as well as the toils of coufict, I sincerely desire an union of all true
men in support of the Government party, irrespective of opinions upon past issues.
What party has prouder claims to the name
of Union purty thon the Republican party ?
Say a man is a Republican, let him be from
‘Worth or South, and you at once proclaim
him to be for the Union. As much can be
said for the members of no other party.
Even now it is declared by politicians that a
“holy alliance,” based upon spoils, and designed tu defeat the true Union men of this
county; whether Republicans or Douglas,
has been formed between Douglas leaders
rnd leaders of the Secession Democracy.
But tas people will smite down any such
is, Whoever creates them. They are determived that no Secessionist. or Uniot man
with av.“ if” shall be elected in this county.
Gentlemen, I trust this Convention will
Place upow record its adbesion tu the Goverament, and the principl-s of American
Constitutions! liberty. I turther trust you
Will deb-g te youkbeat men to Sacrameuto,
where the ienporteut duty is to be performed
of selecting the next officers of this State.
We ar: divided by no quarrel tor spvuils, or
xed by bie candidates, caring more
siicviviueement then the good of the
ry. So fur as I know, Newada coun
ute ho candidate for State or nationa Mu

parties.
We are in favor of the use of the power

of a Pacific railroad, the maintainance of a
daily overland mail, and the development of
the industry and prosperity of the cuuntry:
of a liberal fenced tee gtk upd of. economy
