Scene in the Conventional Graphic

The Chicago correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat, gives the following de-
scription of the scene in the convention
when Lincoln was nominated
The confusion is quieted by the gestic-
ulations of the chairman, into a tolerable
degree of silence, and the thousands of
eyes turn instinctively to the other end Of
the hall, where Norman B. Judd now ri

enunciation, dominates Abraham Lincoln

Are you sure your senses have not de-
ceived you? Look. if you can, over
that vast ocean of heads and arms now
waving in air. There are the bronzed
faces of knot of sturdy farmers, who
have known "Old Abe" since he was a
bare foot STRIPPING. They have tracked
the prairie furrow with him, swung the
axe beside him in the forest-perhaps
made him the umpire of their first set

in spite of that whitened hair. He re-
members how, when that hair was black.

over logs and through brushwood, in the
Black Hawk campaign. That quaint
humorous face yonder. with twinkling
eyes, and the wide mouth, has been con
vulsed hundred times with "Old Abe's"

student, "Old Abe" lent him Blackstone.

the gallery sits a pale and intelligent
youth. whose FIRST metaphysical reflections
were rekindled by "Old Abe's" apostro-

Here is a knot of 0hioans who shouted
themselves hoarse at the mingled humor

CONVENTION INcIDESrs.-The follow
ing are some among the amusing things
which occurred at Chicago, during the
session of the Republican Convention.
Three doors about twenty feet wide
each, were simultaneously thrown open,
and three torrents OF men roared in, rush
ing headlong for front seats. The stand
ing room, holding four thousand five
hundred persons, was packed foil in
about FIVE minutes. The galleries, where
only gentlemen accompanied by ladies
are admitted, and which contains nearly
two thousand persons. was already full
There was a good deal of fun, and some
curious performances, in filling the gall
leries., Ladies to accompany gentlemen
were in demand-school girls were found
on the streets. and given quarter each
to see gentleman safe in. Other girls,
those of undoubted character, (no doubt
on the subject whatever, where much
sought after as escorts. One OF them
being asked to take a gentleman to the
gallery, and offered half dollar for so
doing, excused herself by saying she had
already taken two men in at each of the
three doors, and was afraid of arrest if
she carried the enterprise any further
An Irish woman passing with bundle
Of clothes under her arm was levied upon
by anH''irepressible," and seeing him
safely into the seats reserved for ladies
and accompanying gentlemen, retired
with her fee and bundle. Another cir
rspressible" sought out an Indian woman
who was selling moccssins, and sttempt::
ed to escort her In. This was : little too
severe, however. He wss informed that
she was no lady-snd thu point was ar
gued with considerable vshemence. It
was finally determined that squaw was
not lady. The young Republican pro-
tested indignantly sgainst the polieeman's
decision, claiming equal rights for all
woman-kind. These facts indicate the
demand for seats. f. .E. q.

made to destroy both the Tribune and
Evening Journal BY prosecution for libel
We were literally plastered over with
Writs, Declarations, &C., Re. There
were at least two Judges Of the Supreme
Court, in the State. on whom plaintiffs
were at liberty To- count for verdicts.-
Seward rendered bis professional services
to Mr.. Greeley, and IN the case referred
to, as in others, foiIed The adversary. For
such service this seems q strange requit.
al. Less fortunate than the Tribune. il
cost the Evening Journal over $4,000 to
reach point in legal proceedings that
enabled defendant in libel suit to give
the truth in evidence.
1t was BY no fault, or neglect, or wish
of Gov. Seward that Mr.. Greeley served
but ninety days in Congress. Nor will
we say what others have said, that his
Congressional debut was a failure. There
were other reasons, and this seems a fit
ting occasion to state them. Mr.. Gree
ley's "isms" were in his way at Conven-
tions. The "sharp points" and trough
edges" Of the Tribune rendered him unac-
ceptable to those who nominate candi-
dates. This was more so formerly than
at present, for most Of the rampant Re-
forms to which the Tribune was devoted
have subsidized. But ,Cs had no sympathy
with, and little respect for a constituency
that preferred "Jim Brooks" to Horace
Greeley.
In 1854, the Tribune, through years
of earnest effort, had educated the people
up to the point of demanding a "Maine
Law" candidate for Governor. But its
followers would not accept their Chief
Reformer! 1t was evident that the State
Convention was to be largely influenced
by maine Law" and "Choctaw" Know
Nothing delegates. 1t was equally evil
dent that Mr.. Greeley could neither be
nominated nor elected. Hence the confer
ence to which he refers. We found, as
on two other occasion during thirty years,
our State Convention impracticabls. We
submitted the names Of 1t. Gov. Patter-
son and Judge Harris (both Temperance
men in faith and practice) as candidates
for Governor, coupled with that of Mr..
Greeley for Lieutenant Governor. But
the "lIaine Law" men would have "none
of these" preferring Myron H. Clark,
(who used up the raw material Of tenn
perance. )qualiisd by Ii. j. Raymond for
Lieutenant Governor.
What Mr. Greeley says of the relative
zeal and efficiency of the Tribune and
Times, and of our own feelings, in that
contest, is true. We did our duty, but
with less enthusiasm than when we were
either Granger, Seward,
Brsdish. Hunt, Fish, King or Morgan,
for Governor. ..-.
One word in relation to the supposed
"political firm" Mr. Greeley brought
into it his full quota of capital. But

The Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans Picsyune despairing Of any

to draw consolation from their quar-
rels, and even to fomsnt new ones. He
says:
There must be two additional nomina-

include in the term Of Democrats the con-
sentative men Of the country, many Of
whom will go with the Baltimore nomi-
