posing plan for the election of delegates to the
convention about to be called by the Governor
Their plan has two principal features. l. They
propose to withdraw all opposition upon the alb
stract question of secession. 2. They wi not in
sist upon their individual opinions to the pro-
priety of secession for existing causes, but will
move for the election of delegates who will de-

AN APPEAL TO THE NORTH.
The Richmond Whig of yesterday concludes an
able article on the crisis as follows:
Let US impress upon the Northern States and
people that the Union men of the South
can do comparatively, but little towards

immemorial almost, we have fought the bat
ties of the Union with all our zeal and with all our
energy. We are willing to fight still another bat
tie for the Union if the Northern States and peo-
! pie will take the initiative and demonstrate not
by their words, but by their acts, that they, too
| are willing to preserve the Union upon the princ
| pies OF justice and good faith towards the South
| We are freemen, and must be equals an the Union
or we must seek equality and independence out o
! the Union-peaceably if we can, at the point o
the bayonet if must. To inferiority in any sense
| or to any extent, we shall never submit, whether
| in the Union out of it. Born freemen, and nav

| born and as we have thus far lived. The UnioI

CHICAGO, May IL.
The nomination of Mr.. Lincoln for the
Presidency by the Republican National Con-
vention, has been received by the party in

asn unparalleled since the days of 1910.
The excitement which has centered at the

cession, numbering over 1000, with torch
lights, banners and transparencies.
All appear to have laid aside their gravity
and become again boys. Bonfres blaze on
the street corners, meetings are being held
in front of the fremont and Metropolitan
hotels. A large and enthusiastic meeting is
also being held at the wigwam. Speeches
by hon. Joshua R. Giddings and other prom
inent men and delegates to the Convention.
The Press 4 Tribune establishment, whose
publication of the debates between Douglas
and Lincoln, in the Senatorial campaign in
1858, gave to the latter much Of mis- national
reputation, is splendidly Illuminated in hon
or of the success Of their favorite candidate.
Other buildings in various parts Of the city
are brilliantly illuminated.
The announcement of Mr.. Lincoln's nom
nation was made at Springfield at noon to-
day. That city tonight is in a blaze Of ex-
cifement. A large and enthusiastic meeting
assenb bled at the State House tonight, and
were addressed BY several prominent eiti-
zens. The meeting adjourned at Q o'clock,
escorted BY Young America Band, and pro-
ceeded 70 the residence Of Mr.. Lincoln. His
appearance was the signal for immense
cheering. When it ended Mr.. Lincoln said
that he did not suppose the honor Of such q

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May lS.
The U. s. Government having received the
Japanese Embassy as ENJOYS Extraordinary
and Ministers Plenipotentiary the highest
distinguished Office known to our governm't, I,
it became incumbent on them to make the
first calls on the foreign ministers resident at
Washington, but restored this courtesy to
these only representing the powers which
have treaties with Japan, viz; Netherlands,
Great Britain, Russia and France. They
concluded their calls to-day, that on Baron
Stoeckel being the last Of the series. There
is at present however, no French Minister in
Washington.
The marine band will perform tomorrow
evening in the Presidents house grounds in
stead of the Capitol grounds when the Am
bassadors of Japan with their officers are ex-
pected to be present They have as yet made
no outdoor display on foot.
During the proceedings of Congress this
afternoon much excitement prevailed, espe-
cially among the Republicans in the House
concerning the events at Chicago Every
fresh telegraph served to increase the commO-
ton.
The Presidential nomination occasioned
much surprise and was not at first credited.
1t was said the first intelligence on the sub
ject was received in a dispatch from Mr..
Haskin to Mr.. Douglas.

ENTHUSIASM IN BUFFALO.

BUFFALO, May Is.
Upou the receipt of the news of the nomination
of Lincoln and Hamlin at Chicago salutes were
fired at Buffalo, Rochester and Albany. AT the
latter place the most extrayagant demonstrations
ofJoy were INDUCED in, the like of which has not
been since the Atlantic Cable affair Burning tar
barrels gave to State street the appearance Of a
sea Of fire, the red glare ofR which illuminated the
heavens.
The demonstrations at this place were of q more
sober, but probably not less hearty character
The frat impulse of the public was to wait for the
mail for confirmation Of the telegIaphic rumor,
but as the truth broke In upon the public mind
the demonstrations broke out In a mild form
They consisted of the firing of salute and the
upshooting of solitary rocket, which went out
with blush at the thought of It's Loneliness and
left the world TO darkness
