II, Baltimore CanYtaIion.


The BaIiimsrs Convention.
The BALTIMORE Convention met at
The appointed time, and, a was ex-
peclcd. unanimously nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln ~ The candidate Of the
Union party Tor President Of the Unit /
cd States for the next term Of office.
II % doing Tie Convention bat made
formal declaration Of the wishes Of
the people which had already been ex-
pressed in nnmisiskable Iangnage.-
Months ago, before any Of the prom
ioeni politicians had taken the lead in
the matter Of the Presidency, or ralh-
or in opposition to the wishes Of those
who had declared their views, the
Legislatures Of States both East and
West and lie people themselves 10
county and State Conventions, began
TO express their preference for Abra-
ham Lincoln, II has been urged by
The enemies Of republican institutions
that in q Government so constituted
uuscrupulous politicians will control
the people and iili the highest ofIicesih
times Of greatest peril with men whose
only merit Is a willingness to meet the
vishes Of those who secured them their
positions. Persons with such fears
may learn lesson In the history Of
the present political movement; for
here the great body Of The people have
declared their Wal 10 the politicians,
and those politicians who have attempts
70 lead The people have lost their po-
litical influence. The history Ct the
last few months may well strengthen
our failh in the virtue and wisdom Of
the masses.
Some time since. the leading journ-
ais of the South, in noticing the desire
manifested in some quarters TO secure
the nomination in the Baltimore Con
senIion Of some other man than Lin
coin, took occasion TO remark that the
nomination Of any one else might be
taken as an indication that the NortF
WAS getting tired Of The war policy anc
was ready TO come 10 terms with The
South. We trust that the nomination
Of Mr.. Lincoln conyinees them tla
the North has no thought Of relin
gushing tie purpose on which il hai
acted for tie asst three years, Of car
rying on the war with The whole re
sources Of the nation until the rebel
in arms yield to tie authority q tn
