yathcya al the western front Of the Capitol at about
5 O'Clock, and organized into a mighty meetin by
exciting Gov. Dennson President who wss intro
duced TO his fellow-citizens by Mt Bascom and made
a manly statesmanhke speech, He indcrsed the Chi
cage platform and the nominees, and pledged his I'M
divided support to the gallant leadership Of Abraham

the result.
Gov Dennson was warmly and loudly appauded
closing his speech by introducing the mass Willard
Warner, our delegate TO Chicago.
Mr. Warner took the stand amid cheers, and gave an
account of the of his action in the Convention.
lie went TO Chicago feeling that Salmon p. Chase was
the nobleet Roman Of them ALL but knew nothing but
the good of the country and success OF the Republican
party. He gave satisfactory reasons for changing from
The support of Mr.. Chose TO Mr. Lincoln, and SAID II
the contest had been between Chase and Seward,
Chase would have combined more strength In the
doubtful States than Seward.
As Mr.. Warner was closing his speech, the outer
circle of the immense crowd too far removed to hear
what was going on, set mp shout for Chase, ana
band started air, which Internationally interrupted
his closing sentence.
The Lincoln Gee Club then sang eurrlng song
Gov. Chase was loudly called for and as soon the
prolonged and heavy applause which greeted his ap-
pearance had subsidized, he spoke substantially as iol
Gov cHAsE's SPEECH.
My FELLOw-CITIzENs: In tins mighty gathering
and in this all-pervadng enthusiasm see the issue OF
the campaign The manner in which you and your
fellow citizens throughout the country respond to the
nominations made at Chicago sure presage OF sue
Gers and congratulate you upon the cheering pros
rects before us. The connection OF my own name IN
the National Convention with the nomination Tor the
Presidency renders it proper that should say that
was placed in that attitude by the action OF the Re
pubhcans of Ohio, very large majority OF whom IN
their State Convention presented my name 10 the ne
publicans of the Union their choice for the Presl-
dency regard the expression of the State Conven-
ton s the law for the State delegation and 80 regard
ing IT, had expected of the same unity OF action that
characterized the course of the NewYOrk delegation
in the support of Mr. Seward, of the Illinois delega-
ton in the support of Mr. Lincoln and of the Penn
sylvana delegation IN support OF Mr. cameron, under
similar Instructions But with the hnal choice OF the
Chicago Convention ! am entirely satisfied; with Its
declaration Of principles | am satisfied. Every prin-
cple in that platform have publicly avowed and ad-
vocated for many years. and its declarations still meet
with my cordial concurrence.
1t has been said that the nomination OF certain can
ddates might have endangered the of the cause
we all have go much at heart. tod forbid that my
nomination or that of any other man should lmperll
the triumph of Republican prnclplesl those prlncl-
pies are dearer to than all merely personal consid-
eIalons and reoice that, although | was not nom
mated my principles WERE and that they have 30 true
and SO faithful q representative IN the coming contest
as Abraham Lincoln OF Illinois.
The doctrines of the Republican party are about TO
receive triumphant vindication at the hands OF the
American people. They aud those who have advo-
Gated them have heretofore Ueeh ptissteiy hlseIrt-
sented; but let me say that even the Slaveholding
States themselves under wise and patriotic Republic
can administration, will soon discover the error INTO
which they have been led by these misrepresentation
For myself cherish no hostility toward the people of
the Southern States. / would not deprive them OF
single right guaranteed to them by the Constitution,
HOr does the Republican party propose to DO So IL
simply contends for Freedom IN the Territories against
the Southern demand TO introduce Slavery there. 1t
believes that Freedom and Free Labor VIII best de-
velope their resources and contribute most to the well
fare and happiness of those who may emgrate hther,
from the Slave States as well as from the free. In
the former there is a comparatively small class OF
Shareholders while the great majority OF white ln0l-
tants are Observation-Disclosures and poor We contend that
the Territories should be opened TO the poor emgant
whether from the North or the SOuth, ana tat lhus
shall be peruetuated true popular sovereignty, III
which the majority shall govern rather than class
control In the Southern States there are thousands,
kent down by poverty and social distinctions who
long for schools and churches and for unrestricted OPP
portunties of selculture and elevation in the social
scale. We Republicans propose, by keeping the Ter
rCres in for them to furnish them these adj
valtages; and it is very fortunate and significant
circumstance that this leadng idea of the Republican
| creed il so well represented by our candidate.
The life of Mr.. Lincoln furnishes an illustration OF
the operation Of that idea. His grand parents were
natives of Virginia his parents of Kentucky and they
were poor. Young Lincoln left the untrendy atmos-
phere of Slavery, in his native State, and removed TO
Indiana where he could breathe free ar and carve ont
for himself more favorable destiny. Had he never
made the removal it is scarcely probable that ham
pered by the difficulties that surrounded him. he would
have risen to the high position he now occupies before
the people of the nation But he came over on 10 Tree
| soil where generous sympathies awaited the aborer
and helped him on in bis upward career. Rising by his
own noble efforts he is to-day the chosen Presidential
candidate of the Republican party and on the 4ih Of
March next he will be the duly chosen President OF the
! United States.
OF the nominee for Vice-Presdent, can truly say
that he is emnenty worthy of the confidence reposed

of Jefferson and Franklin His Democracy is not OF
that kind which consists in subservency to the dictates
of slavehodng class and whose highest manifestation

utOns are based which, towering sublimely aOovet the
selfish interest of classes and factions IL enthroned upon
the solid foundations of true Popular Sovereignty-the
expressed will Of intelligent and patriotic people,
| can pronounce upon him no higher eulogum than to
say that he is worthy of association upon the same
ticket with Abraham Lincoln.
Gov Chase concluded his speech, Of which the fore
going is an imperfect and hasy sketch, by stirring
appeal 10 Republicans 10 do their whole duty IN the
| coming campaign. There is now every indication of
success but success IL never won without eiioft ana IL

| The fueech was well-timed and repeatedly inter
rupted with applause. AT the close the vast multitude
gave three Iousng cheers for Chase, and three more
| for Lincoln
After several more speeches and songs, Gov. Denn-
son said the Speaking seemed to be finished, and de-
cared the meeting ad ourned when the vast audience
left the Capitol grounds and dispersed abovt the Streets
