A Scene in the Chicaeo Coryeution.


A Scene in the Chicago Convsntien.
The editor Of the Indianapolis Joarnal
thus describes Q scene in the Chicago
Convention:
The excitement - the third ballot pro-
gressed became intense. The house was
still. and not q whisper came in the way
OF the weighIy words Of the giant Pratt.
Ths call WAS ended. Lincoln was within
2 votes Of q nomination. Il seemed for
moment IS ii everybody held hls breath
with PresentimenE OF tns impending re
suit. air. Carter OF ONO rose. and in
his half stammering nasal voice said.
Mr.. President, desire to state that ths
vote OF Ohio Is not correct. A still.
ness that WA almost painful followed.
/ want to change votes and give Dir.
Chase here Tue speaker Stammered |;
nobody knew whether he was gong to
give u . larger vote TO Chase OF Lincoln.
aud the anxiety OF the vast crowd was
raised to the highest pitch the momen.
Iary Stammer gave way and the nasal
voice continued, IL votes instead of Is.
and give Mr.. LlncoIn 81 votes" Lin
coin was nominated In an instant al
most before the crowd in the house had
recovered from its anxious quietude. |
heard the voice on the roof catch up the
words, ''5 votes changed to Lincoln, he
is nominated - aud the man on the
front Of the roof, rs VOTES changed to
Lincoln, be is nominated" aud, As if the
words were hire running along q match
from the inside over the roof. they touch
ed the crowd below, and then came the
explosion. II was absolutely IS if
burst OF thunder had broken over the
house, believing sometimes IN awful con
cert and sometimes IN roaring fragments,
and at the same Instant the crowd inside
began to shout and yell. not IN ''hurrahs, "
but continuous screaming, as II they
couldn't stop long enough TO break the
sound into words. Everything boIlei
and heaVed in the widest Jury Tor many
minutes. All the previous displays lsil
far below this. / verify believe Inat eV-
cry soul in the house except the reporters
who took no part, shouted himself noarse.
/ know that every lndiAnlan did. There
was nothing but the rrazleSt excitement
every where except among the New York
men. They are still, without a word OF
motion. 4 lazy smile played across the
tat lace of Preston King. and twIch, a.
much Of pain Us mirth, jerked across the
thin features OF Evarts, Tor an instant,
but the rest were impassive as SO many
feather beds. In the midst Of the noise
the cannon began laundering outside, and
the cheering Swelled up louder than ever.
a picture OF Lincoln, in gilt oval frame.
elevated on pole, was brought in. ami
the screaming fairly drowned the iron
throsted cannon. Delegates tore up the
posts on which the cards marking the
places OF their delegations were placed,
and whirled them round their heads in the
most furious excitement. The whole
house was q boiling, tossing sea Of heads,
except in the little eddy Of New York.
No words can describe the scene. No
noise ever heard would compare with
it any more than . niger baby with
dark night. I'll drop 1t, for can't do
Justice to it.

PLATTE VALLEY RAIL RoAD.-This great
improvement is now being pushed for
ward with energy truly creditabls to the
directors. A large force is now at work
on the Iowa part of the road. and it will
soon be completed to the line. From St.
Joseph upward the work is progressing
rapidly and will be in complete running

the season. This is an important move
in the Railroad era. As soon as this
road is finished to the last mentioned

Acceptance Of Mr.. Lincoln.

The Committee appointed to wait OF
Mr.. Lincoln. to inform him Of bis nom
ination, consisting of the President o.
the Convention, Hon. George Ashum
and the Chsirmen of the different STATE
delegations. returned from Springfield
yesterday. having discharged their duty
The Committee proceeded in body to
tho residence of Mr.. L., and Mr.. Ashum
addressed him as follows:
81 have, sir, the honor in behalf oil
the gentlemen who are present, a COM
mittee appointed by the Republican Con-
vention recently assembled at Chicago to
discharge a most pleasant duty. We
have come sir, under a vote Of instruc.
tons to that committee to notify you
that you have been selected by the Con
vention of Republicans at Chicago. as
their candidate for President of the Uni
ted States. They instruct us, sir, to no.
tiiy you Of that selection, and they deem
it not only respectful to yourself, but as
appropriate to the important matter which
they had in hand. that they should come
to You in person and present TO yon the
authentic evidence of the action of that
convention and sir. without any phrase
which shall either be considered personal
ly plauditory TO yourself. or which shall
have any reference to the principles invol-
we'd in the questions which are connected
with your nomination, / desire to present
you the letter which has been prepared,
and which informs you of the nomination
and with it the platform, reports and SEN
timents which the Convention adopted.
Sir. at your convenience we shall be glad
to receive from you such a response as it
may be your pleasure to give u.s.
Mr.. Lincoln replied as follows:
"Mr. Chairman. and Gentleman of the
Committee, / tender you, and through
you. to the National Convention, and all
people represented in it, my profoundest
thanks for the high honor done me. which
You formally announce. Deeply and even
painfully sensible of the great response

more eminent men and experienced states

leave consider more fully the resolutions

respond to you Mr.. Chairman. in writing
not doubling that the Platform will be
found satisfactory. and the nomination
gratefully accepted. And now ! will no
longer defer the pleasure of taking you
and each one of you by the hand"
A general shaking of hands with the
next President then followed, and the
Committee retired.
A large and enthusiastic meeting sub
sequently assembled at the Capitol, and
stirring speeches were made amid the will
dest enthusiasm, continuing until twelve
o'clock. the time fixed upon for the return
of the train.
The gentlemen of the Committee who
met Mr. Lincoln for the first time, were
highly pleased with the interview, and ex-
press themselves in the warmest terms of

TAG FILLMORE MEN.-From all parts
of Illinois we hear the welcome news
that the men who permitted themselves
to be drawn into the Fillmore delusion Of
1856. whereby Fremont was defeated and
Buchanan elected. are making all con.
venient haste to give in their adhesion to
the Chicago nominations. We expected
as much. The certainty that Mr.. Lin.
coin would be acceptable alike to the
supporters Of Bates and the friends of
Mr.. Seward, and that all men opposed to
the further extension Of Human Slavery
would find in him . candidate whom
they could work for and shout for, was
that thing which impelled Us to work a.
we did for his nomination. The proba.
bilities are that no Bell or Everett electo-
raj ticket viii be run in this State, and
that nine out of every ten heartily, earn
estly, honestly and periodically to Hon
est Old Abo's support. he has that con-
which they can embrace; that
honesty which they. profoundly respect /;
that 6rmness upon which they can reposs;

WHAT WILT TIE BALTIMORE CoSvES.
TON DO ?-The thoughts OF the pOlIti-
clans. office holders and Office. seekers are
now turned earnestly to the action Of the
adjourned National Democratic COnven-
ton, which meets in Baltimore on the
18th of next month. Tho 18th OF June
is u memorable day in the worlds hts
tory. 1t is the anniversary OF the Bat
tie Of W aterloo, IN which the great Ma
poleon suffered decisive defeat, result.
IIng in q new political arrangements,
winch have ever since influenced the poll
ley OF European governments. Aud
though we do not suppose that those who
brought up the proposition in the Charles
ton Convention to adjourn to the 18th OF
June, had any thought OF the historic
character OF that day, yet 1t may happen
that it will become a memorable day in
the political history of our Republic.
Upon the action of tie Baltimore Con-
ton depends the resuscItation or utter
ruin OF the Democratic party. The next
Presidential campaign will end with
lleI0 ellucE III u w abcIiOO biSlOiyg VI
Waterloo defeat. Ii they will make
Houston their standard bearer, their tri
umph Is certain but if they choose rs
their leader any OF the heads OF mercenary
cliques. they cannot succeed. The idsA
OF nominating any man merely to please
d faction, or tn .eOncllIate those WhS set
themselves up rs political dIcIatOrs in the
slave States. Is utterly prepOsterous. The
people want a president not tor = section,
but Tor the whole country.
The old bands which pound men to =
party. when party ndslIty was based mp
on principle, are broken up, and thou
sands OF our citizens now regard party or.
ganizAtion as having ceased u Oe inSIru.
mebtslities Tor carrying OUT ideas OF gov
eminent which thJss who entertained
them believed to be the most conducive
to the general welfare and the best inter.
ssts OF the country. Party organisations,
Is now managed, are simply contriVances
to secure the sPoils Of Ot1ce. The peo.
pie ought to disregard them, and we
hope that this year political revelation

LINCOLN IN RHODE IsLANp.-As the
Republicans of "Little Rhody' were SO
foolish as to quarrel among themselves
concerning unimportant local issues. they
met with a reverse at the late State elec-
ton. That they have taken warning
from this. and are resolved to do right in
the future. will be seen by the following
extract from the Providence correspond
ence Of the Boston Journal:
There will be found no State more
ready or more faithful IN its support to
the candidates which have been selected
to carry the banners Of the Republican
party, the sometimes called "insigni6cant"
State of Rhode Island.
The Democracy are fully aware OF the
advantage which has been gained. Their
organ this morning says:
"In our opinion. the Republicans have
made a strong nomination not so good.
certainly. as the nomination of Bates
would have been, for the conservative
Middle and Northern States.-but the
very stroRgest nomination they could have
made for the INorth,cest
