Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings and Address, of the Democratic State Convention: Held at Syracuse, January Tenth and Eleventh, 1856 Pursuant to the call of the Democratic State Central Committee, the delegates from the several Assembly Districts met at noon on the 10th day of January, A.D. 1856, in the City Hall, in the city of Syracuse. Mr. Ballard, of Cortland, called the Convention to order, and on his motion, Hon. John J. Taylor, of Tioga, was appointed temporary chairman. Mr. Taylor, on taking the chair, addressed the Convention as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: Accept my thanks for the distinguished honor you have conferred upon me in inviting me to preside over your incipient proceedings. I do not deem this a proper occasion to make an address, nor is it necessary that I should. You are all aware of the duties we have to discharge, in expressing the sentiments of the democrats of this state, and in selecting delegates to represent them in the National Convention. I trust we shall each feel the responsibility of these duties and hope we shall so discharge them as to have the approbation of our own consciences and the approval of our constituents. Let us so shape our action that it will be in accordance with sound national principles, and tend to secure equal rights to every portion of our country. Mr. Brown, of Jefferson, and Mr. Clinton, of Erie, were appointed temporary Secretaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
