DISSATISFIED AND DISGUsTED. -Conness'
Abolition convention did not break UP in
grand row, as was Threatened at one
time, but large number Of delegates left
dissatisfied and disguised and swearing to
defeat the ticket-a ticket not nominated
to subServe the Union cause, but to elect
CONFESS to the United States Senate. 1t
was stated publicly in the streets, by
members Of the convention, that every
man nominated first had to pledge himself
to support John. Johns friends who
controlled the convention-exacted such
pledge from each man put in nomina-
ton, and those who spurned the bribe
were ANONYMOUSLY defeated. Nickerson,
with conmcndable manliness. told Johns
tools that he would exercise his own judg.
ment and vote for the man he deemed
the most competent and deserving, and
Nickerson was spotted. lie was not suit
able material for Johns purposes. Nick
erson's defeat exaSperated the honest por-
ton of the convention, and they waited
upon him and insisted upon his running
as an independent candidate. They say,
and very justly, that they want one un.
pledged Republican in the field-one who
stands by his party and is unwilling to
trade it off for his own personal agsran-
dizcment. From thirty to thirty five del
egateS, it is stated on reliable authority,
have addressed letter to Nickerson, ask
1 ng him to run as an independent Repub.
lican candidate. If he replies, and it is
probable he will, he will expose, with no
gentle hand, the tricks, promises, threats
and brides of the managers of the convcn-
ton. Some rich developments are ex,
pected; he will apply the lash with an
unSparing hand, and, in caustic manner,
do full justice to John. lie will show, he
has abundant material, what claims John
has to the support of Union men; why
he Joined the Union movement what he
expects to make out Of it, and in what his
Unionism consists, His letter will cause
a fluttering in the camp. and lay John
and some of his nominees on the shelf
