nCminations-Lincoln and lIamlin.
DIR. john IVES presided.
Mr. p. II. VERSoS being called on, said that he was
proud TO sustain the nomination of Lincoln and Ham
fin because they represented the great principles which
were so thoroughly elaborated in the platform adopted
by the Chcago Convention as to render 1t unnecessary
for him 10 make any commentary upon them. They
might depend upon it. Mr.. Lincoln had in the manner
in which he had engineered his life, given good
earnest of what his qualifications We're Tor tne hgh
Office Of the Presidency of the United States de con
Guided by invoking the meeting TO stand by the cadl-
dates until victory should their efforts with
| Republican Administration at Washington.
Mr. DlTTESHoEFFER of the Twentieth Ward next
addressed the meeting. He took occasion TO say tat
he advocated the election of Lincoln to the Presidential
chair because he the representative OF those noble
principles which had called forth the great Republican
PARTY in iS56-the non-extension of Slavery. 1t was
quescn Of free labor or slave labor The issue WAS
not the North against the South; il did not lie in Sec
tonaism. 1t WAS issue involving great interests
all the interests incidental TO the promotion of the great
| cause of labor.
He hoped that all personal considerations such AZ had
been occasioned by the action of the Chicago Conven-
| ton would be thrown aside and every shoulder De
Put to the wheel to aid in promoting the triumph oil
those principles, which are calculated to protect tne
rights of labor and the interests of our common hui
nSnity lie said that the Carthaginan General, Han
nbal one of the noblest among the ancents, ON his
deahbed entreated his fcllow-countrymen 10 be ior-
ever animated with deadly hatred toward the Ro-
mans. One of candidates bears the same nanfe,
and let us hope that his may be to the Democ
| racy what Hannibals was TO the Romans
Mr. BRACKLow made speech III German, III the
course of which he referred the progress made by
| the Republican party since the Convention held III
| Phiadelphia in 1856. He maintained that the new
platform plain that every man could easily I'M
dersand it. and lis such to commend the
gieat principles of which 1t merely the basis to the
adoption and support of every man who desired 10
unite in general effort to the nation from the
disastrous results which calculated 10 flow from
? | the Administration of the Democratic party.
: WV. II. FRY said that many dsappointmens had
Q been made because the Chicago Convention had not
! nominated VIM. II. Seward. This was great conn-
try; and he denied that under all the circumstances
the American people were bound TO contract their view
, and Harrow themselves down to any one man. lie
believed that Ohio had her fvorite and Massachusetts
8 had herr as well as New York. Besides, if it had
been arranged that Mr.. Seward was to be nominated
as the capddate for the Presidency there would have
been no need of a Convention. The people might
| have saved all the expense, and nominated him by
| accamation. The speaker then proceeded 10 review
the rise, progress and probable triumph of Abraham
| Lincoln
He next glanced at the exorbitant rate of taxation
in American cities showing that the taxes In New
York were comparatively higher now than the taxes
levied upon the people OF England. He next referred
TO The importance 10 the masses of the Homestead BILL
which give civilized homes to the workiugmen and
their families He then noticed the history of the
Democratic party and the qualifications necessary to
be what were known as good Democrats. .
In South Carolina, 10 lie q member Of the Leglsl8-
ture il was necessary to ten negrOesa qualilca
ton as thorough as tat required in England. One Of
these gentlemen was the owner of 200 negroes, and
had nearly as many votes for them there were mem
beIe in the 9TH Regiment. He then spoke at length
of the iuvasons upon the rights Of labor by the Democ
racy aud made telling defense of the dignity of Free
Labor lie maintained that they the Republcans
were the Democracy OF the United States Of America
If they wanted to vote the good old JefersOnian Demo-
cratic ticket then for Abraham Lincoln and Han
