NATIONAL ONION TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
OP ILLINOIS.
. FOR .TICE PRESIDENT:
ANDREW JOHNSON,
OF TENNESSEE.
lANCOLN AND JOHNSON.
The result of the deliberations of the Balti
more Convention will, we apprehend, be hailed
with satisfaction by the vast majority of the
people of the loyal States. Abraham Lincoln
has been tried and proved daring a three years’
struggle of saefa magnitude as the world never
saw before. He entered upon the duties of bis
office under disadvantages that never confronted
any one of bis predecessors. There was an
empty treasury, a nation without credit, etther
at.home or abroad, traitors in-every depart
ment, and seven States in open rebellion against
the Government. He found empty arsenals, a
navy scarcely worthy of the name, and an army
reduced to a| rabblfe, because of the disaffection
of its officers. Such, in brief, was the aspect
of affairs when Mr. Lincoln took tbe Presiden
tial chair. To-day, under his policy, however
defective it may have been deemed, tbe Govern
ment is sustaining an army of a million men
in tbs field, while tbe credit of tbe nation has
been brought up, by virtue of tbe admirable
financial policy of Mr. Chase, to a standard ne
ver before reached by any nation on tbe globe.
The loans of tbe Government are taken by its
own citizens, to the extent of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, and every new lean is greedily
snapped op. by capitalists. This is tbe best
evidence of tbe growth of public confidence
that can be afforded.
In view of these facts, the re-nomination of
Mr. Lincoln is a deserved tribute, to bis fidelity
and efficiency. He was,' also, essentially and
peculiarly the choice of the people. “We never
yet heard any men accuse him of dishonesty or
selfish ambition. He has been roundly abused '
by faclionists of both extremes. Qe bos been |
called “ slow,” “ halting,” and “ inefficient;” j
a “ despot,” a “ tyrant,”, and a “ fool.” But
reference to. tbe annals of the times of Wash
ington, shows that even George Washington
was tbe object of still Uore fool abuse than this.
So we may not form ap opinion of Mr. Lincoln
from (be speech of hip enemies.
Andrea Johnson, ot Tennessee, the nominee
for tbe Vice Presidency, is a war democrat of
the most uncompromising character. His is a
loyalty which incurred persons) danger to
maintain, and brought upon him, as well as
every one akin to him, by blood or marriage,
.the heavy hand of rebel persecution. Outlawed
by Jeff. Davis, cut off from his family, hunted
out of his State by ruffians who would have
murdered him bad they caught him, he has
grown in loyalty, if that wore possible, every
. day of these three years of desolating war.—
Ho is essentially a man of the people. Born
in poverty, denied the commonest facilities for
obtaining an education during his youth, be
arose superior to adverse circumstances, end
became one of tbe soundest and ablest men the
South has produced. His nomination was an
act of justice, as well as a fitting recognition of
his great services to the Government during
this struggle. While a Senator from Tennes
see, he was her ablest representative in that
body, and won golden opinions from every loyal
man (herein, by his condemnations'of Davis,
Benjamin, Toombs, & do., to their faces, ere
they withdrew from the Senate.
With Abraham Lincoln*and Andrew John
son to lead, defeat would seem impossible, and
is impossible, if the loyal men of the country
do their whole duty. Without doubt, fte field
is to be hotly contested ; for it is in the nature
of all wrong to die hard. As patriots, we hare
to choose between the candidates of men whose
loyalty is unquestioned and those who may be
presented by men who bare opposed every ef
fort of the Government to bring this war to a
successful issue. - Work can win the ptixe, and
work alone.

We have never sympathized with the crotch

recognize them as apostles of freedom, bat as
fallible men, nevertheless. Neither of them
seemed right, to ns, in persistently refusing to
resort to the legal remedies for all public aba

If Mr. Phillips chose to advocate the Utopian

EDITOEIAI, COBEF.BPONDENCE.
Washington, June 9,1854.
The result of the Baltimore Convention gives
unmeasured satisfaction to what appears to be
an overwhelming majority of people now in
this city. Of the dissatisfied I know little, and
therefore cannot speak. The enthusiasm among
loyal men seems very great, and reminds me of
the campaigns of 1856 and 1860. The White
Hdnse was yesterday besieged by a crowd of
enthusiasts, who wanted to see the man who
received the unanimous nomination for a sec
ond term. iSuch a man has not been seen foT
many yearsioccupying the chief office in the
republic. j
The tax hill has passed the Senate, having
been doctored therein with six hundred and
forty amendments, making one hundred addi
tional pages. The bill-will doubtless be turned
over to a conference committee, without the
useless ceremony of acting upon the amend
ments seriatim in House Committee. Theta-'
riff bill is now la tin? tiomiDluw of ITluatioo, |
and will be reported on Monday, at latest.—
I These,, with the miscellaneous appropriation
bill, constitute the balance of heavy legislation,
for the session.
A measure of considerable importance is now
being considered in the Senate—the bill to au
thorize the President to .call out men for'one
year, with a recommendation that the commu
tation of $3OO be repeated. Under the state
ment of the Provost Marsha] General and. the
Secretary of War, it is probable that both mea
sures carry j though many doubt the repeat
of the commutation. The latter measure is not
yet reported, and I cannot now give an intelli
gent opinion as regards its passage or rejection.
Several of the members of Co. A, 187th P.
V., have been sent back to Washington sick,
from various Abuses. I saw Wo. A. Stone, on
Sunday, at Carver Hospital. He had an attack
of bronchitis, hut was convalescing. I saw,
also, a son of Dr. Foot, who had renorted for
duty, and has been sent forward by this time.
A young man, by the name of Fries, of Mid
dlebory, informed me that Elder Christian, of
the 187th, was drowned in the Potomao on the
passage to Port Royal. He, went in to bathe,
and was overcome by the tide and carried down.
This is sad news, and it shocked me greatly.
His son, chancing to bo at Fredericksburg, and
hearing of the expected arrival of the 187th
at Port Royal, went down to meet his father,
only to hear of his sudden loss.
There is a Tioga lad in Judiciary Square
Hospital, who came to my notice yesterday
through Judge Hale. His name is Carey, is
from Union township, and only fourteen years
old. He has lost one leg, but is doing well.
I called to see him last night, bat could not got
in, being no relative, and having no other ex
cuse save that of wishing to see him and receive'
commands, if be bad any, Tor his friends. The
chaplain told me that he was a child only, and
occupied himself with marbles like a boy, as he
was. I will try to s? e him yet.
The weather is not so very warm, as it was a
week ago, but is becoming unbearable again.

THE BALTIMORE CONTENTION.
The “ National Union Convention” for nom
inating candidates for President and Vice Pre
sident of the United States, assembled in tbs
Front Street Theatre in Baltimore, on Tuesday,
at 12 o’clock, noon. Nearly 600 delegates were
present, including those from rebel States and
remote territories. The portions of the build
ing appropriated to spectators were densely i
crowded, ladies' filling the “ dress circle." A
band from Fort McHenry played a grand over- |
ture before the proceedings began. j
Ex-Governor Morgan, Chairman of the Na- 1
tional Union Executive Committee, appointed
at Chicago in 1860, called the.- Convention to
order and made an introductory address, of
which the following is the most striking pas
sage : {
“It is not my duty nor my purpose to indi
cate any general plan of action by this Conven
tion, hut 1 trust I may be permitted to say that,
in view of the dread realities of the past, and
what is passing at this moment, the fact that
the bones of our soldiers are bleaching in every
State of the Union, and with the knowledge ofi
the further fact that this has all been caused by |
slavery, the parly of which 'yoju, gentlemen, are j
the delegated and only representatives, will fall >
short of accomplishing its great mission, unless
among its other resolves it shall declare fur
such an omendment of the Constitution as will
positively prohibit African slavery in the Uni
ted States." (Prolonged applause, followed by
three cheers.)
Mr. Morgan nominated for temporary Presi
dent of the Convention, the Bey. Robert J.
Breckenridge, >D. D.,’of Kentucky, who, on be
ing conducted |to the chair by Mr. King, of N.
York, and Mr.jßandall, of Wisconsin, addressed
the Convention at some length. We have room
only for an extract or two.;
“ I am boldj to say that, .notwithstanding the
outcry about pur violations of the Constitution,
this present living generation and this present
Union party fare more thoroughly devoted to
that Constitution than any generation that has
over liveil under it,. (applause.) While I say
that, and solemnly believe it, and believe it is
capable of the strongest proof, I may also add
that it is a great error, which is being propaga
ted in our.land, to say that our national life de
pends merely upon the sustaining of that Con
stitution. Our fathers made it, and we love it.
I intend to maintain it. But if it suits us to
change it, we can do so, (applause) ; and when
it suits us to .'change it, we will change it, (ap
plaiise). If it were torn into ten thousand pie
ces, the nation would be as much a nation as it
wos before the Constitution was made—a na
tion always, that declared its independence as
a united people, and lived as a united people '
until now—a nation independentof all partic- 1
ular institutions under which they lived, capa
ble of modelling them precisely as their inter
ests require.” 1 j
After observing that ho would not recite, ei
ther for condemnation or approval, the mea
sures by.whjch the Government bad been bro’t
to its present position in relation to slavery, he
went on to say :
“ We are prepared to go further than the ori
ginal Republicans themselves are prepared to
go. We are prepared lo;demand pot only that
the whole territory of the United States' shall
not be tnade| slave, but that s the General Gov
ernment of the American people shall do one
of two things, and it appear* to mo that there
is nothing else that can be done, either .to use
the whole ppwer of the Government, both war
power and peace power, to put slavery as’nearly
as possible hack whore it was, (for although
that would be a fearful state of society, it is
better than anarchy.) or else to use the whole
power of toe Government, both ol war and
peace, and all the practical power that the peo
ple of the United States ; will give them, to ex
terminate «t>dextinguish, (prolonged applause.)
I have no hesitation in saying for myself that,
if I were a pro-slavery man, if I believed this
institution was an ordinance of God and was
given to man, I would unhesitatingly join those
who demand that the Government should pat 1
it back it was ; but I am not a pro-sla
very man, | I never was. I unite myself with
those who believe it is contrary to the highest
interests of all men and of all government, con-;
trary to the spirit of the Christian religion, {
and incompatible with the natural rights of;
man, I join myself with those who say, away j
with it forever (applause)—and I fervently
pray God that the day mpy come when through
out the whole land every man may be as free
as you are; and nscnpable of enjoying regula
ted liberty, I will not detain you any longer.
* * * I know very well that the sentiments
which I am ottering will cause me great odium
in the State in which 1 was born, which I love,
where the hones of two generations of roy an
cestors arid some of my children are, and
where, vetry 500 n,.! shall lay my own. I know
very well (bat my colleagues will incur odium
if they indorse what I say ; and they, too,
know it., put we have put our faces toward
the way in which we intend to go, and we will
go in it to the end. If we are to perish, we
will perish in that way. All I have to soy to
you is, help us if you can; if you cannot, be
lieve in your hearts that we have died like men.
(great cheering.)”
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Riley, of
the Methodist church, who did not forget to
pray for the abolition of slavery.
The roll of delegate* was called, including
those from rebel States and distant Territories,
but the right of the latter to seats was referred
to a committee on credentials, composed of one
from each. loyal State, except Missouri, which,
having two sets of delegates, in . conflict with
each other, was excluded. Committees of one
from- oach State were also named to' select per
manent officers of the Convention and to pre
pare resolutions. The Convention,.at 3 p.m.,
adjourned till evening.
In the evening, the Committee on the nomi
nation of officers made their report; and the
Hon. William Dennison, of Ohio, was appointed
President. Vice Presidents- and Secretaries,
one from each loyal State, except Missouri,
were also cbosen.-
Gov. Dennison, on being conducted to the
chair, made a.bricf address, in which he said;
“ The loyal people of the country have au
thorized and expect you to renew on their part
the pledge of their faith to support the Govern
ment in the most vigorous prosecution of the
war to the complete suppression- of the rebel
lion, regardless of the time or the resources re
quired to that end ; and they equally expect
and call upon you to declare the cause and sup
port of the rebellion to be slavery, which, as
well for its treasonable offences against the Go
vernment as for its incompatibility with the
rights of humanity and the permanent peace of
the country, must, with the termination of the
war, and as much speedier as possible, be made
to cease forever in every State and Territory in
the Union."
The committees not being ready to report.
Parson Brnwnlow was called upon for a.speech.
He responded in a characteristic address, plea
ding for the admission of the delegation from
Tennessee, and for the nomination of Andrew
Johnson as the candidate for Vice President.-,
At the close of bis remarks there were loud
calls for Garrison, who was known to be pres
ent, but he did not respond, and the Convention
adjourned to meet on Wednesday at 9 a m.‘
SECOND DAY,
The committee on credentials made their re
port, in substance as follows;
1. That the Union Radical delegation from
Missouri be admitted, and the *• Ciajbaoks”
(Blairites) bo excluded. 2. That the delegatee
from Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Ar
kansas be admitted to sill the privileges of the
floor, except that of voting. 3. That the per
sons presenting themselves as delegates from
the State of South Carolina are not entitled to
the rights of delegates on the floor. Two' mi
nority reports were presented.
An exciting debate followed, which ended in
the admission of the Radical delegation from
Missouri, by a vote of 440 to 41; in the admis
sion with Tull privileges of the delegates from
Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Nebraska,
Colorado and Nevada; and in the exclusion of
the delegates from South Carolina, Virginia
and Florida.
H. J. Raymond, of New York, from the com
mittee on resolutions, submitted the following,
the reading of which was received with the
wildest outbursts of enthusiasm, especially the
emancipation and anti-slavery sentiments. The
resolutions were adopted by acclamation;
THE PLATFORM,
lietolved, That it is the highest duty of every Ame
rican citizen to maintain against all their enemies the
integrity of the Union and the paramount authority
of the Constitution and laws of the United States;
and that, laying aside all differences and political
opinions, wo pledge ourselves, os Union men. anima
ted by a common sentiment, and aiming at a common
object, to do everything in oar power to aid the Gov
ernment in quelling by force of arms the rebellion
nos raging against its authority, and in bringing to
the punishment due to their crimes the rebels and
traitors arrayed against it, (prolonged applause).
Hesutved, That we approve yf tbo determination of
the Government of the United Stales not to compro
mise with rebels, or to offer any terms of peace ex
cept such as may be based upon an “ unconditional
surrender” of .their hostility, and a return to (heir
just allegiance to the'Constitution and laws of the
United States; and that we call upon the Government
to maintain ibis position and to prosecute the war
with the utmost possible vigor to the complete sup
pression of the rebellion, in full reliance upon the
self-sacrifices, the patriotism, the heroic valor and the
undying devotion of, the Aaftrican people to their
country and its free institutions. (Applause.)
JieaoUed, That as slavery was the cause add now
constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and os it
must be always and everywhere hostile to the princi
ples of republican government, justice and the na
tional safety demand its utter and complete extirpa
tion from the soil of the republic (applaud), and that
wo uphold the acts and proclamations by which the
Government, in its own defence, has aimed a death
blow at this gigantic evil. We are in favor, further
more, of such an amendment to* the Constitution, to
be made fay the people in conformity with its provi
sions, as shall terminate and forever prohibit the ex;\
istenee of slavery within the limits or the jurisdiction
of the United States. (Applause.)
Resolved, That the thanks of the American people
are due te the soldiers and sailors of the army and
the (applause) who bare periled their lives in
defence of their country, and in vindication of the
honor of the Flag; that the nation owes to them some
permanent recognition of their patriotism and their
valor, and ample and permanent precision for those
of their survivors who have received disabling and
honorable wounds in the service of the country; and that
the memories of those who have fallen in its defence
shall be held in grateful and everlasting remembrance.
[Loud applause.]
Resolved, That wo approve ond applaud the practi
cal wisdom, the unselfish patriotism* and unswerving
fidelity to the Constitution and the principles of Ame
rican liberty, with which Abraham Lincoln has dis
charged, under circumstances of unparalleled diffi
culty, the great duties and responsibilities of the Pre
sidential office; that wo approve ond indorse, as de
manded by the emergency and essential to tbe preser
vation of tbe nation, and as within the Constitution,
the measures and acts which be bos adopted to defend
tbe nation against its open and secret foes; that we
approve especially tbe Proclamation of Emancipation,
and tbe employment as Union soldiers of men here
tofore held in slavery, [applause]; and that we have
full confidence in bis determination to carry these and
all other constitutional measures essential to the sal
vation of tbe country, into full and complete effect.
Revolted, That we deem it essential to the general
welfare, that harmony should prevail in tbe national
councils; and we regard as worthy of public confi
dence and official trust those only who cordiaMy in
dorse the principles proclaimed in these resolutions,
and which should characterize tbe administration of
the government. [Applause.]
Revived, That the Government owes to all men
employed in,its armies, without regard to distinction
of color, the full protection of the laws of war, [ap
plause], and that any violation of these laws or of
tbe usages of civilized nations in the time of war, by
the rebels now in arms, should be made the subject of
full and prompt redress. [Prolonged applause.]
Resolved, That the foreign immigration which in
tbe past has added so much to the wealth and devel
opment of resources and increase of power to this na
tion, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should
be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just po
licy.
Revived, That we are in favor of the speedy con
struction ef the railroad to tbe Pacific.
Renoltedy That the national faith pledged for the
redemption of the public debt must be kept inviolate,
and that for this purpose we recommend economy and
rigid responsibility in ibe public expenditures, and a
rigorous and just system of taxation; that it is the
duty of any'loyal State to sustain the credit and pro
mote the use of the national currency. [Applause.]
Itesoloed, That we approve tbe position taken by
the Government, that the people of tbe United States
ran never regard with indifference tbe attempt of any
European power to overthrow by force or to supplant
by-fraud the institutions of any republican govern
ment on tbe Western Continent, [prolonged applause]
—and that they will view with extreme jealousy, as
menacing to the peace and independence of this our
conntry, the efforts of any such power to obtain new
footholds for monarchical governments, sustained by
a foreign military force in near proximity to the Uni
ted States. [Long-continued applause.]
