John P. Hale.

The Western Citizen, of Chicago, first nominated
John P. Hale tor the Presidency. The nomination
has been sustained with much unanimity by the Lib
erty press His name will undoubtedly be submitted
to the decision of General Nominating Convention
What this may be we know not
The E,nancpator of the LIST instant, has an excel
lent and spirited sketch of Mr. Hale, in which his
an-slavery qualifications are spoken of in the strong
est terms. The Liberty men in the East, who know
him best, rely undoubtingy upon his entire fidelity to
the anti-slavery The late State Liberty Con-
vention in Massachusetts passed resolution highly
complimentary him, and in a report ofemarks made
by Mr. Leayitt upon the occasion, we find the follow
ing:
"What has become of the Independent Democratic
party of New Hampshire? What has become of the
Liberty party? has gone, according to the doct ines
OF these genemen but the persons who used to coop
crate with US as the Liberty party are there, organized
and well organized, aud going on to complete SUCCESS
Now, sir, shall we leave this fact and 90 to hunting
up name? | am surprised that such question
should be raised in the Liberty Party Convention of
Massachusetts. thought that we we're not contend
ing for name, but for object which, if we accom-
psh, we should be most happy to let our poor names
be buried in oblivion. Then we should let that party
which is represented by Mr. Berry and Mr.. Hale, and
by the Liberty party papers in New Hampshire, be re-
ceIved as faithful coadutor, and recognised as part
and parcel of the Liberty party Of the United States
had formerly DOUBTS on that score whether 1t
was fully identified with the Liberty party of the Uni
ted States; and took, in conjunction with other friends
satisfactory and honorable measures to settle that
question: by conference with some of the leading minds
in that state; and full and free conference as full
and free conference there ever was held between
honest men A voice in the crowd; How long ago
was that conference" Not long ago, strand was
satisfied that the combined party-I do not mean the
Wing party and its alies but that party which is re-
presented by the Independent Democrat and Free
MANS identified with the Liberty party of the Uni
ted States; and in proof Of those gentlemen are pre-
pared to give the best evidence in their power by CO.
operating with in the National Convention as one
party.
"We have, then, the judgment of all the Liberty
men in New Hampshire. do not believe there is one
man in New Hampshire that dssents from this view,
or that supposes that there two anti-savey parties
there. We have therefore all the evidence on which
sober and rational and earnest men ought TO act
There is no reason for doubt or hesitancy as to the
principles of Mr.. Hale. believe him TO be an honest
man, and he has shown that he is not afraid of sacrifice
that he is not aflaid of being sacrificed, and such
man is to be trusted on his word.
"We have heard it said by some, that we have not
summered and wintered him. ask where he was last
WINTER and where he was last summer, and the year
before also9 Tremendous Appause."]
