Chicago Convention.

On next Wednesday the Republican Ma
tional Convention meets in Chicago to NOM
mate candidates for President and Vice
President, The most prominent candidates
for nomination for the first Office, are Chase,
Seward, Bates, Lincoln, McLane, Clay,
Cameron and Wade. Mr.. Chase is our
choice, and we believe is also the choice Of
a large majority of the Republicans Of
Ohio, but we can heartily support any of the
distinguished statesmen named above.
We are frequently interrogated as to
who will be tho nominee. We answer that
we don't know. But we should not be sur
prised to see the following ticket placed in
nomination:
For President.-B. F. WADE, of o.
Vice President. HICKMAN, of Pa
And if this should be the ticket, all the
Republicans have to do, is "to go in and
win" Such ticket would be irresistible

Even black mail Hambleton is becoming
ungrateful TO Northern Union-saving demo-
Gratis. In late number of his paper, the
Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, he says;
High prices for board, the hot climate,
fear of yellow fever, and "Southern assas-
sination," has rid the convention and the
city of many annoyances. Such is the
dread of assassination, by the Yankees
that it is almost impossible to toll them
from their quarters after nightfall. They
retire early, and pray for the nomination of
Douglas, and their delivery from so hot a
climate. They try very hard to act like
Southerners, by eating rice and turnip sal
ad but invariably retire from the table
with potatoes and lump of salt in their
pockets.

THE Truth IN NUTsHELL.-The Bos
ton DAILY Advertiser, commenting upon
the proceedings at the Charleston Conven-
ton, pointedly and truthfully says:
The idea that 9oS picked men belonging
to the same party should spend whole
week in vain attempts to agree upon the
terms of an exposition of their common
faith, especially when tho leading doctrines
of that faith have been previously affirmed,
would be ridiculous and inexplicabe, but
for this fact, They have no common faith
and the time is at hand when the slave
holding interest can no longer find even il
the subservient ranks of its Democratic al
lies the puppets to do its bidding and un
less they will be thus subservient, it does
not care for them at all.

THE SLAVE TRADE THRIvING.-In the

fit of the Africans, by declaring that among
his human property these freshly imported
specimens were the "noblest Romans Of

AProphecr FulfiIIed.

In the debate at Galesburg, ILL.,, between
Douglas and Lincoln, in 1850, the former,
says the Chicago Press, dwelt upon the
sectional character of the Republican organ
ization. Mr.. Douglas said:
ssYou have sectional organizatona party which ap-
poals the Northern section Of the Union against the
Southern party which appeals @ Northern passion
dices against Southern people, the southern States, and
Southern Institutions No political creed Is

Mr.. Lincoln, in reply, called attention to
the fact that Mr.. Douglas did not and could
mot lay his finger upon anything in the Re-
publican platform that was wrong or that
entitled il to the appellatiOn of sectional
that the Only evidence he could produce in
support Of either charge was that in the
Southern portion Of tho Union there are
people who win not let Republican doc
trines be proclaimed among them. Mr..
Lincoln argued that this was no test Of the
soundness or nationality of a doctrine, and
added:

Gen. Cameron and the Democracy.

The Democracy ore doing their Mt
most to defeat the nomination of Gen.
Cameron for President, knowing that
If he is nominated, PENNSYLVANIA be-
comes hopelessly Republican. Their
pot-house tricks first find publicity
through the New York Herald, and
the Democratic organs throughout the
country eagerly grasp the prejudicial
statements, in the hope that the Re
publicans will nominate weaker man.
The Waukegan Oily Gazette refers to
this disgracefnl mode of warfare upon
Gen. Cameron in the following lam
guage:
We have noticed, within the past
week, going the rounds Of the press,
two statements. of rather a wholesale
character, in relation to General Cam
eron and the Presidency. They are in
substance, as follows: First, that
General Cameron had stated that he
has no idea that he can be nominated
for the Presidency, but is willing to
receive the position of Vice President,
or Secretary of the Treasury. The
fact that this story originated in the of.
fee of the New York Herald, is quite
sufficient, to know that it has not the
least shadow Of truth in it. Second
That General Cameron had stated that
Mr.. Seward, i'll the event of his nomi
nation at Chicago, could carry Penn
sylvania by 10000 ma jority.
Now, we have the means of know
ing that both of these statements are
without the least shadow of founda-
ton, and that they were never made
by General Cameron, who is a candi-
date for the Presidency, and nothing
else; and we know further that he is
the only MAJ, who can carry Pennsyl-
vania for the Republican party in the
coming campaign. We also know that
if General G. was satisfied that Mr..
Seward could carry that State with a
certainty, he cameron would not be
3 candidate. but on the contrary, would
be Seward man.
