-. .,uCb an Assoc,. 'tion has existed here since
Isss This Association an others friendly to the
cause were called together by notice IN All even
ing paper that Mr.. Hamlin would be serena0ed.
The hall over the old Era office was well filed at
an early hour, and Mr.. French, President of the
Society, delivered congratulatory address apon
the nominations at Chicago.
Judge Petit, member from Indiana, being called
upon, spoke eloquently of the character and ser
vices of the nominees, pedging his State by large
majority, In common with the whole Northwest.
Mr. Fralk, member from New-York, followed in
an earnest and effective speech which was much
applanded. While he regretted that the fayorite
son ofNew-York, who was his own first choice,
and that of the people of the Empire State had
not been selected as their standard bearer, he and
they knew their duty too WELL to falter in the sup
port Of the nomigaiions which had been made.
They would prove their devotion at the election by
rolling up such majority as could be given to no
other man but Governor Seward.
The Association then adjourned, and process
sion was formed, which marched to the Washing
ton House, preceded by the marine band, and
followed by large crowd. Upon reaching there
several hundred persons were found already assem-
bled in anticipation of the interesting occasion.
The Washington House, which stands at the cor
ner Of Pennsylvania avenue and Third street,
where Mr.. Hamlin resides, was beautifully ilu-
minated from cellar to garrett and the balconies
and parlors thrOpged with ladies. After stirring
national airs by the band, Mr.. Hamln was intro.
duced to the assembly, and in brief comprehen-
siye terms expressed his Acknowledgements for the
honor and covered the whole ground of the can
yass in a manner which elected the strongest ex-
pressions of appreciation. Every word told and
fitted exactly, and was neither more nor less than
the occasion required.
