Lincoln and Hamlin.

Ashmuns speech at the close OF Inc Cll- |
cago Convention, will be read with much :
interest, both for its personal allusion TO /
the nominees, and for the noble tone
which pervades it:
" Gentlemen of the Convention: II {
becomes now my duty TO put to you the
last motion which, in the order of par
liamentary law, the President has the
power to propose. 1t viii probably be
the last proposition which he can ever
make to you in any convention. But
before doing it, and before making a
single other remark, / beg TO tender you
each and all my cordial thanks for the
kind manner in which you have sustained
me in the performance of the duties OF
this station. confess to you, when
assumed it, | did it with some appre-
hension that / might not be able TO come
up to the expectations which had been
formed. 1t was bold undertaking, in
every respect; and | know that | could
not have accomplished it half so well as
rosity manifested on all sides of the
house. There was a solemn purpose
here, in the minds and in the hearts of
not merely the Convention, but of the
vast assemblage which has surrounded
US, that before we separated, we would
accomplish the high duty. That duty,
gentlemen, we have accomplished. Your
sober judgments, your calm deliberations,
after comparison and discussion, free,
frank, brotheriy and patriotic, have ar
rived at conclusion at which the Amer
lean people viii arrive. Every symp-
tom, every sign. every indication accom-
panying the Convention in all its stages
are high assurance of success, and /
will not doubt, and none of US do doubt,
that it will be glorious success.
Allow me TO say of the nominees that,
although it may be of no consequence to
the American people or TO you, they are
both personally known to me. 1t was
my good fortune to have served with Mr..
Lincoln in the Congress of the United
States; and I rejoice in the opportunity
: to say that there was never elected to
| the House of Representatives purer,
2 nor more intelligent and loyal Repre-
Y sentative than Abraham Lincoln. (Great
i applause.) The contest through which
|, he passed during the last two years, has
r tried him as by fire; and in that contest
e in which we are about TO 60 for him now,
| am sure that there is not one man in
e the country that will be compelled to
e hang his head for anything in the life Of
S Abraham Lincoln. You have candi-
d date worthy of the cause; you are
pledged TO his success. The decree ha,
n gone forth that he shall succeed. Tire.
r mendous applause.)
e l have served also in public life with
II Hannibal Hamlin. In the House o
l. Representatives we were ranged on diff
e ferent sides. He was firm Democra
ID of the old school, while | was as firmly
and perhaps too much so, copy of th'
d Webster school. (Applause.) But a
n is known TO many OF the gentlemen VIII
'r sit here before me to-day, there was al
re ways a sympathetic chord between hin
= and me upon the question that has brough
r US here to-day. (Great applause.) An
S. while the old divisions of party hav
crumbled away, and the force of circum
'E stances have given rise TO new issues,
S is not strange that we are found battlin
E. together in the common cause. l say
r then, gentlemen, that you have got
ticket worthy of the cause and worth
Oh the country.
er Now, gentlemen, that we have com
s. pleted so well, so thoroughly, the gres
ne work which the people sent US here
Us do, let US adjourn to our several constitr
rs encies, and, thanks be to God who givet
C. the victory, we will triumph. applause.
