pardoning power ; who has denounced the National Legis-
lature as unconstitutional; why has p,rsistently and cor-

ruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every pro-
per attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in
rebellion ; who has perverted the public patronage into an
engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanours, and properly
pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of 35 senators.
Ninth—The doctrineof Great Britain and other European
Powers, that because a man is once a subject he is always
so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States,
as a relic of the feudal times, not authorized by the
law of nations, and at war with our national honour and
independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be
protected in all their rights of citizenship, as though they
were native born ; and no citizen of the United States,
native or naturalized, must b 3 liable to arrest and impri-
sonment by any foreign Power for acts done or words
spoken in this country ; and if so arrested and imprisoned,
it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf.
Tenth.—Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late
war, there were none entitle 1 to more especial honour
than the bravo sol Hers and seamen wbio endured the hard-
ships of campaign and cruise, and impE.rilled their lives in
the service of the country ; the bounties and pensions pro-
vided lay the laws for those brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten ; the widows and
orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a
sacred legacy bequeathed t the nation's protective care.
Eleventh.—Foreign immigration, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development, and resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylwn of the
oppressed of all nations, should bo fostered and encouraged
by a liberal and just policy. Twelfth.—The Convention
declares itself in sympathy with all the oppressed peoples
who are struggling for their rights."

Mr. Spencer, of New York, immediately moved
that the report be adopted, and called for the pre-
vious question, which Ohio seconded, and the re-
port as presented by the committee was adopted
with only two or three dissenting votes. General
Carl Schurz then moved the adoption of an addi-
tional resolution recognizing the Declaration of In-
dependence as the foundation of a true Democratic
Government, and commending the magnanimity to
the reconstructed rebels, who now support the Go-
vernment, and favouring the removal of the restric-
tions and disabilities imposed upon them, just as
rapidly as their loyalty justifies it. The chairman
of the Pennsylvania delegation and Mr. Gooch of
Massachusetts seconded the resolution, and it was
unanimously adopted. Another resolution was also
adopted, declaring that adjournment would not
effect dissolution of the Convention, but that its
organization should remain in force, and that it
should be called together again at any time and
place that the National Republican Committee
should designate. A motion was then made that the
Convention proceed to ballot for a candidate for
President, and Gen. Logan of Illinois said, " In the
name of the loyal people and soldiers of the Republi-
can party, I nominate Ulysses S. Grant for President
of the United States." The whole Convention rose to
their feet amid great cheering and waving of hats
and handkerchiefs. The applause was prolonged,
and ended in " three cheers for Gen. Grant," and
the band played "Hail to the Chief." The States
were then called, and each in succession voted for
Grant. The vote of Georgia was announced by
Governor Brown, who said " the Georgia Republi-
cans, many of whom were originally Secessionists,
recognized the maxim, Enemies in war, in peace
friends.'" During the progress of the call, each
successive vote was received with great enthusiasm.
Gen. Sickles, on rising to cast New York's vote, was
received with cheers. The Territories were also
called, each having two votes, except Colorado,
which was allowed six. The chair announced that
six hundred and fifty votes had been cast, and all
for Gen. Grant. An indescribable scene of enthu-
siasm followed, and a curtain was suddenly lifted
and a fine portrait of Grant displayed, supported
by the figure of liberty, with the White House be-
hind. On one pedestal was inscribed " Republican
Nominee of Chicago Convention, May 20, 1868 ;"
on the other, "Democratic Nominee of the New
York Convention, July 4, 1868." Above was a
scroll, on which were the words " Match Him ;"
but the " M" being badly formed the New York
Tribune fell into the error that the word was
" Watch Him." At the same moment a dove with
its wings painted red and blue, its body represent-
ing the white, was set at liberty, the band
playing " Hail to the Chief " and " Yankee
Doodle." The excitement which had been on the
increase at last found vent in song and accompa-
nied by the band the Convention gave " Rally
round the Flag." A solo and trio campaign song,
music by George F. Root, entitled, " Fight it out
here on the old Union Line," was sung and received
with great favour. When the excitement had some-
what subsided, the president was direcre I to tele-
graph his nomination to General Grant, and Mr.
Schofield, of New York, moved to proceed to the
nomination for Vice-President. Mr. Lane, of Vir-
ginia, named Henry Wilson, seconded by Lieute-
nant-Governor Claflin, of Massachusetts ; Mr.
Lane, of Indiana, nominated that tried and time-
trusted patriot, Schuyler Colfax, upon which there
was great cheering, seconded by Mr. Parker, of
New Jersey, as the candidate and representative of
the young men. Mr. Dutcher, of Michigan, also
supported Colfax, whose name, when mentioned,
was always hailed with cheers, and Mr. Brown, of
Pennsylvania, spoke enthusiastically for this can-
didate, although interrupted by other delegates of
the State, declaring that he would vote Colfax first,
last, and all the time. Mr. Hassaurek, of Ohio,
presented that " champion of human rights, Benja-
min F. Wade, the child of the people, a self-made
man—(wild cheers)—one of such incorruptible
viatue that the people know him as honest 11,,,n.
Wade. Let the Convention say to him for
the people,' Well done, good and faithful servant.' "
Carl Schurz, for a large majority of the Missouri
delegation, seconded Wade's nomination—(cheers)
—and said "If he is nominated there will be no
temptation to assassinate Grant." Mr. Spalding,
of Ohio, said that for the first time his State bad
united on a candidate, and would give Wade 42
voted. Mr. Jones, of North Carolina, declared his
State was ready to "Wade in," and would give its
support to the old Roman veteran. Mr. Tremaine,
of New York, named that State's favourite son
Reuben E. Fenton, and was ably supported by Mr.
Storrs, of Illinois, who declared Mr. Fenton to be
the standard-bearer in the canvas for defeating
Horatio Seymour. General Logan said that Illinois
would cast 15 votes for Fenton, 11. for Hamlin, and
3 for Colfax. Mr. Warmouth, of Louisiana, sup-
ported Fenton. Mr. Wood, of Kentucky, nomi-
nated ex-Attorney-General Speed, of that State.
Mr. Sands, of Maryland, nominated John A. J.
Creswell, of Maryland. He said that he had asked
his delegation to refrain from obeying the instruc-
tions of the Maryland Convention, but they de-
clined peremptorily. lie must acquiesce, reserving
the right to cast his individual vote for Wade.
(Cheers.) Mr. Forney, of Pennsylvania, as chair-
man of the Republican committee of that State,
nominated Andrew G. Curtin. Mr. McClure
presented Governor Curtin's claims as the represen-
tative of the hundred thousand Pennsylvania Repub-
licans, reminding the Convention that as the State
cast her vote next November so will be the decision
of the canvass. (Prolonged cheers.) Mr. William-
son, for lowa, nominated James Harlan, and Mr.
Whittemore, of South Carolina, indorsed Mr. Wil-
son. (Cheers.) Mr. Crafer, of Alabama, named
William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania. (Partial ap-
plause and boisterous laughter.) Mr. Seymour, of
Wisconsin, supported Hannibal Hamlin, but stated
that his delegation gave Fenton seven, Colfax six,
Hamlin two, and Curtin one. Personally he thought
it wise to retrieve the mistake made at the Balti-
more Convention, when Hamlin was displaced.
General Shepley, for Maine, nominated Hannibal
Hamlin. (Cheers.) Mr. Souther, of Pennsylvania,
supported Governor Curtin. He said that the Con-
vention ridiculed the asserted opposition to him.
Mr. Humphrey, of Alabama, said that his delega-
tion respected Mr. Kelley and Mr. Wade,. and the
other nominees, but part of the Convention sup-
ported Wilson. Mr. Roster, of Illinois, seconde I
the nomination of Hamlin. lie said that Hamlin
would unite the party of the whole nation. Mr.
Hubbard, of West Virginia, called for a vote so
that the delegations might show their hands. (Cries
of " The vote ! the vote !") Mr. Martin, of Kan-
sas, nominated Samuel C. Pomeroy, of Kansas.
Gen. Sickles, of New York, who was greeted with
cheers, supported the claims of Gov. Fenton, as one
of the group of war governors who supported the
patriotic Secretary of war, Stanton. (Moderate ap-
plause.) As the call of the roll for Vice-President
