BALTIMORE, May 11th. 1860.
Dear Sir: 1t has become my agreeable lu-
~. as the presiding office! OF the National
Union Cunveution, which terminated its scs-
sion in this city last evening, to inform you
that you have received the nomination of that

dent of tho United States.
After frank interchange of sentiment, IN
which the merits o. all the distinguished cali
,hdates presented for our consideration were
canvassed in the most friendly spirit, the
Convention resolved with entire unanimity
and great enthusiasm To place your Lame be-
ore the American people. as the chosen rep
rescutative of its principles Of constitutional
liberty and union.
With II just appreciation of your known
moderation and Justice your unifrom supp 'rt
If wise and bensfcent measures Of lessla-
ton: your firm and heroic resistance Of the

R6- At the request Of one Of our most re-
spectable citizens, we published in our last
issue, a satirical dialogue, which seems to have
given very grave offence TO rome OF the par
ties who conceive themselves justly, or un-
Justly alluded to in said dialogue. We sup
posed that the playfu!ness Of the production,
was so apparent, that inrtead OF provoking
Indignation ana wrath, II would cal, forth
large share of mir,hfuness aud humor. 1t
seems however that we were mistaken, and
that the matter has been taken into very &C.
rous consideration, and grave snd impers-
tive demand made upon us for the author
With this demand we might have been dis
posed to comply, as we are sure the author
is fully competent TO take care Of himself
under any and all circumstances, had it not
been accompanied with u threat to size III,
and had we not been notified, tina. failure
OH our part to communicate the authors
name, would subject us to personal violence.
even to the extent Of passing ocer our dead
body. Now it is we'll known that we are a
very tmid man, that we also belong to the
peace society, and are therefore no. inclined
e. fight but it would hea marvellous thing,
that une of stock which tas poured out its
blood on Revolutionary fields, and has done
the same thing in every war in which his
native country has heen engaged, when
threatened with bodily violence for the per-
furmance OF what is Of daily occurrence
among the conductors of the Press, should
not have his old adam rise, and with that in
lignation and scurn, which such uncailed
for threats should create, peremptorily refuse
any compliance with such demand. We are
not to be brow beaten; we are not to he
driven into measures by threats Of violence
They that attempt such measures, may find
that they have counted. without their host,
and that it is dangerous experiment. When
gentlemen approach us rs gentlemen should
approach each other, they will find that we
know how to act correspondingly, ard will
have no cause to complain; but An assump-
ton Of ruffiausm, will meet with nerited
repulse.
