tioDal Republicau Convention, adopt The

tional Republican Convention, adopt the
following resolutions:
ResOlred LIST. That We endorse the plat
form of principles recently adopted by the
Republicans assembled in Convention at
the city of Chicago, and that we will use
all honorable and proper means to make
those principles the established policy Of
the general government.
Resolped I'd. That the action Of the Ma
tioual Republican Convention. in present
ing to the American people as the RePub-
licsn candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. Abraham Lincoln, OF H.
linois, and Hannibal Hamlin, Of Maine,
meets our most hearty appreciation.
Resolped Sd. That in Abraham Lincoln
we behold the true representative of that
most cherished feature in the institutions
Of this country. which gives an equal
right to every citizen to aspire to the most
exalted position; and while we regard this
as one of the most encouraging privileges
in republican form of government. We
have great admiration for him, who, from
the most dscouraging beginning, by life
Of virtuous action and industrious effort, is
about to attain the most envied position in
the gift Of free people.
Resoiued 4th. That we recommend to the
Republicans throughout the county of vi.
go. the immediate formation of Lincoln
or Republican Clubs in each township, and
that we will assist by our means and oul
individual efforts in thus organizing for
the coming campaign.

was adopted by reclamation:
Resoloed, That the thanks of this meet
ing, and of the Republicans in Vigo couu
ty be rendered to the Hon. Caleb B. Smith
for the able and eloquent address he has
just made.
Mr.. John p. Usher being loudly called
for, addressed the meeting in a ferveu
strain for some time. speaking OF his per
sonal acquaintance with Mr. Lincoln snC
rallying the Republicans OF Vigo county
to his support.
Considering the very busy season of th,
year we wonder the people came in such
crowds to ratify the nomination of "Hon
est Abe Lincoln" But they are awake
the enthusiasm is spreading-the pillow

New YORK, August I6.-The World has
correspondence from Beirut to July 18th,
and Constantinople to the oath. In the lat
ter city serious outbreak had occurred, be-
tween Protestant Americans and a mob,
touching the right of the former to the use
of burying grounds. The disturbances
lasted five days, in spite of the efforts of the
Ministry of War, together with Armenian
Patriarchs, assisted by several thousand
troops. This occurred in the Ballat quarter
of the city. Since this disturbance was
quelled the Protestants have been driven
from two other quarters of the city by mobs,
and to prevent further outbreaks the Gov
ernment had suspended Protestant worship.
The Turkish Government, however, denies
that Professionalism was really at the bottom
of the outbreak, but that it was got up un-
der Russian influence, for the purpose of
causing collision between the soldiers aud
the Christian population. A meeting had
been held of all Protestant Ambassadors,
who sent an earnest and decisive protest to
the Porte. On the day following this pro-
test, the American residents of Constanti-
nople received formal notice from their min
lister to move with the greatest caution as
further disturbances was imminent.
