This Convention met, rapidly and har
moniously dispatched its work, and then
adjourned. Abraham Lincoln was elected
cn the first ballot by an enormous major
ity as tne Union nominee for President,
and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, elect
ed aa the nominee for Vice President.
The nominations were afterwards made
unanimous, amid the greatest enthusiasm.
- Mr. Raymond of New York, of the Com-
mitteo on Resolutions, presented tbo
platform for the nexts campaign, which
was received with great favor, and adopted
- by acclamation. See another column for
the same.
Never before in the political history of
our country, has so large a National Con
vention just, fresh from the people
dispatched the business ' before it with
such celerity, harmony and enthusiasm.
" The fact is, the masses had decided the
matter beorehand," and the Convention j
hadooly to ratify their will. Thenomipeea
' and the platform ara now before the nation,
and will, wer think, give general eatisfac-
tion. ' ' .. .
The renominaticn of our present worthy
President wa3 a foregono conclusion the
people everywhere having long ago declared
for him. As an exchange aptly observes,
his honesty, his sagacity, hi3 firmness,
his kindness of heart, hia devotion to the
Union, and his fidelity to Freedom have
endeared bis name to every lover of his
country and every foe to Rebellion and
Rebellion's cause. It only remained for
the properly chosen representatives of the
people to give formal utterance to their
wishes, and this they have done with a
unanimity unequaled, we believe, in the
deliberations of any previous Presidential
nominating convention.. Andrew John
son, the nominee for tli6 second place on
the ticket, is well known to tho country
ns the Democratic Senator from Tennessee,
who, when oiher Senators proclaimed
their treasonable sentiments in the Cap
itol of tho nation, remained unshaken in
his devotion to the Union. Ho has since
done yeoman service in educating the
people of his Stato up to the highest
standard of loyalty, namely, that loyalty
which makes no compromise with traitors,
and which declares, as Andrew Johnson
has declared, that "a traitor has no right
to own anything." Ho has bean a Rep
resentative in Congress eigbt years, a
Senator four years, and Governor of Ten
nessee two terms. Like Abraham Lin
coln, he is an honest man, and like him,
too, he is a self-made man.
The Union men of tho country could not
have been asked to support a ticket com
posed of better or purer men. They are
honest capable loyal patriotic. They
are men ot tho people, and tho men for
the people. 'And they stand on a platform
whose principles admit of no uncertain
construction, but are in strict consonance
with the popular wilL Tho prevailing
idea o that platform, ie the eloquent lan
guage of the temporary Chairman cf .the
Convention, Dr. Breckinridge, is as fol
lows :
Wc ore a nation no doubt a peculiar one
larnicd of States, and no nation except as
these Statc3 form it ; and these States are no
States except as they are States in-that na
tion. Tbey hats no more right to repudiate
the nation than the nation ba3 to repudiate
them. Not one of theuvbas crou the shadow
Of aright to do this, and, God helping us,
we will vindicate that truth, eo that it shall
never more be disputed again in thi3 world."
"With such candidate?, and with such a
platform, we advance upon tho enemy's
lines with tho full assurance of victory.

The $300 Comctiestatlon Clause.
The following is Provost Marshal Gen
eral Fry's letter to Secretary Stanton,
recommending the repeal of the $300
clause of the Conscription act :
in accoraanco witn tne amended en
rollment act of February 24th, 18(34, and
your orders upnn the subject, I am now
conducting a draft in the various sub-
districts, for the respcotive districts on
quotas heretofore assigucd. The results
of this draft, so far a known by reports
to this date, are worthy of attention.
Lhey are briefly tbua : Number of draft
ed men examined, 14, 41 ; exempted for
physical disability, 4,374 ; all other causes,
2,(33; total exempted, 7,016. Number
who paid commutation, 5,050. Number
furnishing substitutes, 1,430. Number
held for personal service, 1,259, of whom
some may yet commute. These reports
come iroru eub-districU in eight different
State?. I invite your attention to the
small number of soldiers being obtained
under existing laws. I see no reason for
Deiieviog ttie army can be materially
strengthened so long as tho three hundred
dollar clause is in force. Nor do I think
it safe to assume that the commutation
money paid by drafted men will enable
iuo iruveruunsui w procure volunteers or
substitutes in their places. I do not think

Secretary Stanton incloses this letter to
the I resident, and 6ays that the recom
mendation of the Provost Marshal Gener
al is approved by the War Department,
and he hopes the Presides t will recommend
it to Congress. He continues : "Recent
successes that have attended our arms
lead to the hope that by maintaining our
military strength unimpaired, and giving
it such an increase ai our extended field
ot operations may require, an earlv ter
mination of the war may bo attained. To
accomplish this it is absolutely necessary
that cmcient measures be taken, with vigor
and promptness, to keep the army up to its
original strength and supply deficiencies
occasioned by casualties in the field. To that
end resort must be had to draft; but
ample experience has shown that the
pecuniary exemptions from service frus
trate the object of the Enrollment law by
furnishing money instead of men. An

The Democrats are behaving very un
handsomely toward Mr. Fremont.
Uavincr assisted to place him in a position
which to almost anybody else would bo
emDarrassiog, ar ieast, mej iu:u agmusb
him and treat him with contempt. Take,
lor example, the following irom tne t-ni-
cago i si :
"Major General John Charles Fremont
accepts the nomination for the Presidency,
tendered him by the Convention, with
the provision that if Mr. Lincoln should
not be nominated at Ualtimore he will
withdraw in favor of the "other man."
John Charles knows that Abraham Lin
coln will be nominated, and he wishes it
known to the public, that his object in
accenting the nomination, and beoominca I
t 1 . . . 1. - Mi. iL. 1 - I
canuiuaie, is inai no-may piit me Akc- i
publican party in twain, and thereby de-1
teat it.
"However desirable to the Democrats
may be the success of John Charles' stra-
tegic movement, the value of the move- I
ment depends exclusively on his probable
means of accomplishing the end. Can
John Charles muster enough votes in
either of the New England States to ena- J
)Ie the democracy to ootam electoral
votes i Can lie obtain any popular vote I
in any State to a number that will enable I
the Democracy to win i Can he get
twenty thousand votes in Ohio? Can he
get tho same number in iscon9in f or
half that number in Iowa, or Indiana, or
Illinois (Jan lie change the result, or
render it certain airaindi ivuranaiujjiHcuin, i
in Pennsylvania or New York? lie
frflnklv ndmita hv the terms of his letter
that he cannot be elected : he might have
added that he cannot get an electoral vote.
The only State in which we think he can
po3?ibly divide the llepublicaos to an
extent that would render the vote of the
Stale cert.iin for the Democrats is 31is
souri ; and even that result would bo ob
tained there just as well by his not being
a candidate as by his being one. , On the
whole, we do not think the Fremont can
didacy i3 of sufficient importance to the
ltepublicaus or Democrats to bo worth
the favor or disfavor of either party."

How Commutation Lxempts from
TnE Draft. Provost Marshal General
Fry, in answer to the inquiry as to the
length of time to which the payment of
commutation money exempts from liability
t.n service, replied that the language o
the law is plain. The law says : "If any
drafted person shall hereafter pay money
for the procuration of a substitute, under
the nrovisions ot the act to wnicn mis
is an amendment, such payment of money
shall operate only to relieve such person
from draft in tolling that quota. ai n

will be exempt on account of such payment

Our Platform.
ADOPTED BT THE CNION NATIONAL CONVENTION,
AT BALTIMORE, 8TU JUKE, 1864.
Resolved, 1. That it is tbe highest duty
of 'every American citizen to maintain,
against all enemies', the integrity of the
Union, and . the paramount authority of
tho Constitution and Laws of the United
States ; and that, laying aside all differ
ences of political opinion, we pledge our
selves, as Uuion men, animated by a com
mon sentiment, and aiming at a common
object, to do every thing in our power to
aid the Government in quelling, by force
of arms, the rebellion raging against its
authority, and in bringing to punishment,
due to their crimes, tho rebels and trait
ors arraigned against it.
2. That we approve of the determination
of the Government of the United States
not to compromise with rebels or offer aay
terms of peace, except such as may be
based upon an unconditional surrender o
their hostility, and return to their just
allegiance to the Constitution and Laws
of the United States, and that we cal
upon the Government to maintain this pb
sition, and to prosecute the war with tbe
utmost possible vigor, to the complete sup-
prossion ot the rebellion, placing full re
liance upon the self-sacrifice, patriotism,
heroic valor and undying devotion of the
American people to their country and its
tree institutions.
3. That as slavery was the causa and
now constitutes the strength of this ro
belhon, and as it must be always and
everywhere hostile to the principles of
Ilepublican Government, justice and the
National safety demand its utter and com
plete extinction from the Republic, and
that we uphold and maintain the acts and
proclamation by which the Government in
its own defence has aimed a death blow
at this gigantic evil. We are in favor,
r . -
zurtaermore, ot suction amendment to the
Constitution to be made by the people in
conformity with its provisions a3 shall
termicato and forever prohibit the exis
tence ol slarery within the limits or iuri3-
diction ot the United States.
4. That the thanks of the American Deo-
pie are due to tne soldiers and sailors of
tbe army and navy who have periled their
lives in defense of their country and in
vindication of the honor of the flasr : that
the nation owes to them some permanent
recognition of their patriotism and their
valor, and ample and permanent provision
or thotH) who aro survivors who received
disabilities and honorable wounds in the
service, and that tho memories of those
who have fallen in its defense shall be
held in srnteful and everlastins? remem-
bran6e.
5. That we approve and applaud the
practical wisdom, and the unselfish patri-

allcled difficulty, the great duties and re-
uponsibilitiesof the presidential office, and
that we approve and endorse as demanded
by the emergency and essential to the
preservation of the Nation as within the
Constitution, the measures and acts which
he has adopted to defend the Nation
against secret foes ; and that we approve,
especially, of the proolamntion of emanci
pation, and the employment as union sol
diers, of men heretofore held in slavery.
That we have full confidence in his deter
mination to carry out these and other
constitutional measures essential to the
salvation of the country into full and com
plete effect.
G. That we deem it essential to the
general welfare that harmony should pre
vail in the national council, and we regard
as worthy of public confidence and official
trast those only who cordially endorse the
principles proclaimed in these view3, and
which should characterize the administra
tion of the Government.
7. That the Government owes to all men
employed in it3 armies, without regard to
distinction of color, the full protection of
tbe laws of war.
8. That any violation of these laws or
of the usages of civilized nations in time
of war by the rebels now in arms, should
be made the subject of full and prompt
redress.
9. That the foreign emigration which
in part has added so much to the wealth,
development of resources, and increase cf
power to this nation tnis asylum ot tne
oppressed of all nations should bfc foster
ed and encouraged by a liberal and just
policy.
1U. lhat we are in tavor ot the speedy
construction of a railroad to the Pacific
II. 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 the public expenditures,
and a vigorous and just system of taxation :
that it is the duty of every loyal State to
sustain the credit and promote the use of
National currency.
12. That we approve the position taken
by the Government, that the people of
the United States can never regard with
indifference the attempt of any European
power to overthrow by force, or supplant
by fraud, the institutions of any Ilepubli
can Government on the Western conti
nent, and that they will view with extreme
jealousy, as menacing the peace and inde
pendence of this our country, the effort o
any such power to obtain new foothold
for a monarchical government sustained
by a foreign military force in near prox
imity to us.

Before Richmond.
13eyond the fact that, by the persistent
movement of Grant by the left flank, he
has reached the Chickahominy at the
railroad bridge, near Dispatch Station, we
have little of interest from that quarter.
To prevent this, the rebels made strenu
ous efforts, and constructed strong batter
ies, all of which were overcame. The
rebels aro surmising that Grunt means to
push his movement by the left flank to
the James river, and thus transfer the
scene to the South side of Ilichmond,
where they have everything to defend,
but are least prepared. In this they may
not be entirely wrong. If Grant intends
this, he will abandon White House as a
base transfer it to the James, in the
neighborhood of Charles City, perhaps,
push his army across the Chickahominy
and the Peninsula, and fail upon Ilich
mond on the South side. " In thi3 case,
Lee would do what he was forced to do at
Spottsylvania.and the South Anna, aban
don his present position, and make a
corresponding movement to confront Grant.
"C. A. P.," the Triuune correspondent
with the Army of the Potomac, writes :
"Within a very short time the rebels will
be compelled to choose between to things :
They may march with their main army
westward or southward, leaving an ordin
ary garrison, or no garrison at all in
Ilichmond, and in either case expecting
the city to fall into our hands without
long delay ; or they may make it the "last
ditch," concentrate there all they have,
and stake tlia Confederacy upon the issue.
"It is my rule to religiously refrain
from speculation when T do not know,
and statement when I do know, as to
futuro movements of the army. But it
may alleviate the anxiety which fears
terrible losses in the event of an attempt
to carry by assault the works now in our
immediate front, for me to state that it is
not proposed to assault them. We shall
go around then!. The list of possible flunk
movements is not yet exhausted.
"Anchor your souls to one fact a fact
of which the army is as firmly convinced
as it is that the sun shines to-day, or that
it will not shine to-night. The Army
cannot be beaten Lack from its purpose. Its
morale is held high by continual reinforce
ments. It cumbers to-day far more than
it did on the Ilappahannock. The slight
ly wounded of the first battles are resum
ing their places bv thousands. The con
viction is universal, shared in alike by
Gen3. Grant and Meade and the humblest
soldier, that this is the last grand cam
paign the last, because it will accomplish
the practical destruction of the Confeder
acy."
