On the Second Ballot, by which Douglas was
nominated, only twenty-four out of the thirty
three States voted at ALL These States cast
l9fa votes out of the 256 to which they are
entitled. So that nine States were not repre-
sented at all in this sectional Convention. OF
the twenty -four which were represented, only
nine cast their full vote. It is asking too
much of poor, weak human nature, to consid-
er this national convention. Compared with
the Chicago Convention, Lincoln received
more votes in Convention from Slave States
than Douglas, although only five Southern
States were represented at Chicago, while 8 of
Is were in the Douglas Convention.

BATES AND LINCOLN.

The Hon. Edward Bates, who was the first
choice of many Republicans as the party IS
nominee for the Presidency. has written let
ter to the st. Louis Democrat, in which he
gives his cordial endorsement to the Chicago
nomination. He affirms, what is undeniably
true, that the Presidential contest will be be-
tween the Republicans and the Democrats.
He prefers the former party for various reas-
ons; thar the Democratic party has merged
its national existence in the one and sectional
question of negro slavery; that it has IN va
rious instances endangered the constitutional
rights of coordinate branches of the govern
ment, attempted to degrade the judiciary by
striving to make it passive registrar of par
ty DEGREES. In most, if not all things, he
considers the Republican party the opposite
of the Democratic, and therefore entitled to
his support, and this would be a sufficient
reason for his supporting any man whom the
Republican party might put forward if he had
no other good reasons for supporting Mr..
Lincoln. The Union party he considers too
weak to elect any candidate or establish any
principle. He says he has known Mr.. Lincoln
for more than twenty years, and that sshe has
earned high reputation for truth, candor,
courage, morals and amiability that he has
talents and he will use them to the best ad-
vantage. He is the peer of the first men Of
the nation, and we'll able to sustain himself
and advance the cause against adversary, and
in any field where mind and knowledge are
the weapons used that, in brief, he considers
him a sound, safe, national man, who could
not be sectional if he tried for all his feelings
and interests are identified with the great val
ley of the Mississippi, and that for the good
of the whole country he hopes he may be
elected.'
Edward Bates has Union-wide reputation
for conservatism, ,probity and high intelligence,
and his testimony to Mr.. Lincoln's character,
abilities and national spirit, is of the highest
value. 1t would be satisfactory and conclusive
to every candid man, even if it stood alone.
But similar testimony is borne by all who
have known and closely watched Abraham
Lincoln of Illinois. Unquestionably the Re-
publicans have made wise choice in selec-
ting him as their standard bearer. AS man
of high talents and most estimable character,
man of rigid temperance, of unquestioned,
nay proverbial, honesty and probity, of nerve,
courage and powers of endurance, and totally
unconnected with any clique either of politi-
cal, impracticable or political spectators, he
is the man for the time, to whom the whole
country could look with confidence for that
reform, moral and financial, in the fedelal Ad-
ministration, that probably never was so great
ly and urgently needed as at the present time.
And when a man has won the esteem and con-
fdence of his fellow citizens of the character
of Edward Bates, as well as attained just
and substantial popularity with the masses,
there exists no reason why he should not be
triumphatly elected to the highest Office in the
gift of the American people.

A MURDERER's CoNFEssIoN.-The Rev. ia
cob S. Harden, under sentence of death for
the murder of his wife, at Belvidere, New Jer-
sey, has made confession acknowledging his
guilt. The administering of the poison to his
wife commenced on her return to Ramsey's,
and was given to her while sitting on his knee,
even during the endearments of an apparently
loving wife. He kindly invited her to partake
of an apple on which he had spread arsenic.
She unsuspectingly eat it, remarking that it
appeared to have something gritty on it. He
replied that it was "nothing." He will be
hung on Friday, the 9th of July.
