has been said that the convention insulted him by
nominating him after hia declining to run. Such
an honor was not intended TO insult him, any more
than the ceremony Of The conservation Of bishop

insult to ths elevated dignitary. In the Of The
bishop, the preliminary refusal is only pgoaf VI Lis
humility il the case Of the nominee for the Pses
dency, it is but en- evidence OF ais modesty.
Blu. il it be an insult, one has better right to
put up with it than two hundred men. If Hale de-
clines the nomination, he viii insult the one hundred
and ninety.tWo men, who voted for him, on the
very first ballot, leaving only minority Of four
teen, and tie whole convention, who subsequently,
declared that his nomination SHOULD be unanimous,
aIl the whole party, represented by that conven-
ton, in ell the northern States. Mr.. Hale has no
other course lef. than to submit his individual
judgment TO the collective wisdom Of SO large and
respectable convention Of the party, unless ne
wants to he more dictator than Louis Napoleon,
IN France, who submitted whether he should be
President not, to the decision Of the people. But
there is no chance Of the New Hampshire Senator
rejecting the honor. The Nalioaal Era, who is
good authority on the subject, says
This good tcketa sound, reliable ticket-euinent-
y worthy OF the support Of the Independent democracy
throughout the country MIR. Hale during his Senate
rial has himself widely ana favorably

The Era goes to urge him to reconsider his
nrevious determinnien. and to permit mis- friends
use his name for the most honorable oliits IN the
gift Of the people. The editor further adds that he
has conversed with the President of the convention,
Hon. Henry Wilson, since adjourned, and Mr.. VII
son states that Mr. Chase was not considered as
candidate before the convention.
We have no doubt, therefore, that Mr.. Hale will
stand the nomination, and that, as TIL Tribune in
doates, the result viii be the loss Of Ohio TO the
wings # they lose Ohio, for the same reason they
will lose New York, and pr badly Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, and consequently lose the cleo
ton. This denouement to the play Of g The Pre-
sidency,' in which SO many political actors
are performing their parts, will be mainly
brought about by he operation Of the prin-
cples Of W H. Seward, and lis organs in this
and other cities of TIE Northern States. For the
last twenty years, he and they have broadcast
over the land the most rabd free soil and abolition
doctrines, anti-rentism and other isms; and the
converts to these doctrines being in earnest cannot
be changed about at will like puppets. They viii
stick to their principles. though Seward and
Thurlow Weed, Greeley and other renegades, re-
nounce them for the ore of wing triumph and
the spoils sewar and his agents have : sown
the wind, and they must reap tho vhirlwind"
Abolition once let loose, they cannot quen it, and
they must be content to abide the consequences Of
their own acts.
