Old and experienced leaders were before
the Conrentlon-mcn who made the Re-
publican partv-;ashioned its policy and
carved out its doctrines. They demanded
the nomination from the Convention. not
so much as a favor as a matter of right
aud justice. OF these Seward was most
prominent Ever since the organizat ion
of the party he has stood before the nation.
p-cted that the Republicans would rely in
this campaign upon the purity and cor,
reesness of their principles, reasonably
anticipated that Seward, who, more than
any other man embodiss those principles,
would be the Chicago nominee. On the
other hand. those who supposed that thu
Convention would look to availability in
making nomination, expected that the
choice would be Bates, or some man rot
so partizan in his character as tc be wholly
unacceptable to persons who are outside
Of the Republican organization.
The Convention met 1t was composed
of the most radical men of the party
They distrusted the availability of Seward
and questioned the orthodoxy of Bates,
and determined to sacrifice both. By
strong outside pressure and the union and
determination Of his friends, Lincoln was
brought forward and nominated. to the
surprise Of both parties, and doubtless Of
himself. He is good enough abelitionist
for Giddings, and sufficiently destitute Of
antecedents 10 satisfy the mere politicians
of the party. All that he is, politically,
he owes to his contest with Douglas in II
lnois. 1t is not strange therefore that the
nomina ton should he received with very
moderate enthusiasm. The action of the
Chicago Convention is IN open confession
of Republican weakness both in the plat,
form and nominees A less formidable
tickle; could scarcely have been formed by
the Democracy themselves. The Demo-
cracy now have the game in their own
hands. Ii they display ordinary wisdom
at Baltimgte, the success in November is
certain.
