The why and wherefore OF Mr.. Ham.
Inns Nomination. 81

In his able and effective speech ut the rat
ifcation meeting in Faneuil Hall, on Thurs
day evening. Hon. John A. Andrew, Chair
man Of the Massachusetts, delegation in the
Chicago Convention after giving q detailed
account Of the nomination OF Mr.. Lincoln,
said: IT TN NJ
"The convention, exhausted by the labors
and the excitements, the glad excitements,
of the hour, took recess until their after
noon session. BY the universal concession OF
the whole convention, speaking by one quiet
voice, in accordance with what was the pro-
priety of that day. the selection Of the sec.
ond name upon the ticket was assigned to
the State Of New York. New York had no
man within her borders to stand forward as
her candidate ON the day when William III.
Seward reeeded before the face Of any other
man in that convention. The propriety and
decorum which dictated the assignment to
New York, equally dictated to her the duty
of rejecting il but by the instructive, afiec-
tiOnate, and genuine spirit Of harmony which
pcryaded that vast convention, the slightest
intimation of her wish was the law and
Hannibal Hamlin was selected on the second
ballot, to be the candidate for the Vice Pres
idency." (Great chccring.)
II was well known TO all at Chicago that
the friends Of Mr.. Seward, particularly the
New York delegation, were the prime movers
in the bringing forward Of Mr.. liamlins
name as the candidate for the Vice Prcsiden-
CIV. The suggestion Of his name was all the
more promptly and earnestly adopted by the
active supporters of Mr.. Lincoln, because all
the friends Of Mr.. Seward yielded with such
good grace to the action Of the convention
in selecting for the Presidential candidate a
man who was not their first choice, and be.
hayed themselves 50 very like gentlemen and
good Republicans in the first. moments Of
their disappointment at the failure to secure
the nomination of Mr.. Seward,
Mr.. IIamlins nomination, therefore, was
not only the exact complement OF the ticket
headed by Mr.. Lincoln, in respect OF locali-
ty, political antecedents, and manifest fitness
for the office, but was the most natural re-
cult conceivable: il came in "the natural
way" Mr.. IIamlin was prominently the
first choice Of the friends Of both Mr.. Sew
ari and Mr.. Lincoln. Never was the candi-
date for the Vice Presidency, of any party,
nominated in national convention under more
auspices. Not one Republican can
be found from Maine to Oregon who would
iesire any other result.

THE CALIFORNIA STEAMERS

Rev. T. Starr King, who was a passenger
