Thomas, working republican OF Chicago,
presented to the char handsome gavel. He
said it was not the wood, ivory, or silver alone,

consequence of the assOciation-it being a
piece OF oak from the flagship of the gallant
Lawrence. (Chcers.) 1t was an emblem Of
the republican party, strong and not noisy.
The motto it bore was one which need NOT be

CHICAGO, May l5.-The friends of Mr.
Seward have the best organization, and the
best workers. They do not finch in their
work, and While they do not for an instant
show signs OF encouragement they are never
thrIcss affected by the tremendous opposition
which they find to their candidate. They are
urged by the friends of Bates to give up their
man and go tor success. They are entreated
to notice in time the fearful disafftction which
is seen in those who disapprove of Seward
course on the slavery question, and also on the
American question TO these representations
they answer, that to give up Mr.. Seward would
be shameful neglect of their proper standard
bearer, and also a backing down from prnc.
pies for the sake Of spoils, which they never
will consent to; SO they stand firm, but are
com lclled to acknowledge to themselves that
the Speck has become a cloud, and may yet be
storm, pregnant with disaster to themselves
and ruin TO the party. The tact that major
ity of the convention is in favor of Seward no
one denies; but it is also certain that Il major
ity of the convention look tcarlully to the
election in case he is nominated.
The delegations of Pcnnsy lvania, Illinois,
aud New Jersey. called formally on the Mas
sachusetts delegation this evening, and in set
speeches protested against the nomination of
Mr.. Seward. Pennsylvania led Oft urging his
great unpopularity with all conservative men,
and with those who are in no way tinctured
with abolitonsm. New Jersey followed in the
same strain, us did also Illinois. The last
speaker reviewed with great ability Mr. Sew
ards position on the native American ques-
ton, and wound up with vigorous appeal in
behalf OF compromise on some less objection
able man. Mr. Kellogg of Massachusetts
moved that each delegation present the names
which, III It's opinion, were the best for the
candidacy, This was agreed to. Pennsylva,
mia Offered Cameron, Bates, and Mclean. Ii.
lnos named Lincoln, Cameron, and Banks.
New Jersey gave Dayton, Banks, and Lincoln
thus playing into each others hands in very
significant manner. The discussion which fol.
lowed WAS very excited one and without
coming to any definite result, the meeting was
adjourned at a late hour.
