Although sad at heart and grieved in spirit
at his personal treatment at Chicago, which
Gov. Chass manifested in his speech on Tuesday
evening in no unmstakeabe way, that GENTLE
man had good cause to say, and in a exulting
manner, although defeat himself, his principles
t'iumpied in The nomination Of ABRAHAM LIN
colin, at Chicago. He thus put in an oar ahead
against the pretensions Of the anti Chase squad
in this city, to become the leaders in the Re-
publican column in this quarter, because hav-
ing made the ultra principles Of Gov. Chase the
point of opposition to him, they are by his
prompt presentation Of the fact that his princi.
pies triumphed in the person Of Lincoln, estop-
ped from any large claims to leadership, on ac-
count of any modification in the higher law
doctrines ofthe party, by the simple rejection
by the Chicago Convention OF the candidate put
forward ty the Republican State Convention
Abraham Lincoln is superior Aboitionist to
Gov. Chase, and had he resided in Cincinnati
when the presentation of the silver pitcher took
place by the negroes at the Baker street church,
that trophy would be now in his possession in
stead OF gracing, as it does, the cabinet OF our
Ex Governor. Mr.. Lincoln is a complete and
unadu!terated Aboltionist, and hence Gov
Chase is justified in rejoicing that although
defeated his principles triumphed. He sought
meanly to his own principles for months before
the election, in order to propitiate the opposi-
ton to hin on account ofthem. He even sought
to predjudice Governor Seward's prospects up
on the ground that that gentlemen held odious
doctrines, when in fact the ohjectional matter
was perfectly in accordance with his own creed.
But no - that he is laid on the shelf, and has
no motive for further evasion or equvocation,
he comes straight forward and again in the
presence of his party, at the meeting to ratiGy
the nomination of his successful rival, lifts up
his principles, and reminds them all that tho
defeated himself they are triumphant.
To show that he has good ground for doing
this we copy below comprehensive resolution
adopted at the first Republican State Conyen-
ton ever held in Illinois. That body convened
at Springfield on the 9th of October, 1854
1t was called for the special purpose of organ,
izing new party AMI repudating all former
attachments. The Committee on Resolutions,
appointed by the Convention was composed of
Abraham Lincoln, j. L. Farnsworth and Ich-
abod Canning. The resolutions reported by
| the committee were unanimously adopted by
the Convention and among them was the fol-
lowing, which we ask conservative men of all
parties to read and carefully digest
Reso7oed, That the times imperatvely demand
the reorganization o: parties, and repudiating
all previous party attachments, names and pre-.
dections, we unite ourselves together in de-
tense o. the liberty and constitution of the coun-
trv,and will hereafter co operate as the Repub.
Hcan party pledged to the accomplishment ofthe
| following purposes: To bring the adminisra-
ton OF government back to the control of first

sttution ofthe United States vests in the States
