presented signifed their desire not to have
theirAnames used.
After an informal ballot, Mr.. Sholes rose
to withdraw the name of Mr.. Simmons, stat
ing that this gentleman was very much OPP
posed to the idea of being candidate for
of1ice+. if nominated for, and elected to. the
Assembly, he could not serve in that
capacity, except at great personal inconve-
nience and sacrifice; and that nothing would
induce him to accept of nomination, ex-
cept the strongest evidence that the interests
Of the Union party in the district required it
which evidence had not appeared. .
Mr.. Durkeesob to the withdrawal,

man to represent the district, and that the

sirable to have perfect harmony and unan-

lions to this nomination, those objections
might now be freely presented, and can

M. FRANK CHAIR. s. f. TARBELL. Sec
1. ResoJved. That in the judgment of
this convention, the national issue now be
fore the people, is as distinct and unmistak-
able, as in the days of the American Revo-
luton; as there was then "a peace party,
so there is now; as there was then party
in sympathy with the enemies of our Revo-
lutionary Fathers so there is now party
which aids and abets the enemies of the
Union, by their open hostility to the war
and their clamor for an armistice with re-
bells in arms against the government
2. ReSoJved. That the tories of the
American Revolution are fifty represented
in the action Of the Chicago convention
and as enlightened history has condemned
the memory of tie former to infalny, so
will the enlightened judgement of mankind
stamp the trainers of the platform of the Chi
cago convention-its supporters and its NOM
inees, as traitors to the government and the
Union. "" ,
3. ReSoIved.-That the evident satisfac-
tion evinced by the southern Confederacy,
with the speeches and platform of the Chi
cago Convention and the lively interest
manifested by the rebels for the success of
the candidates of that convention, reveals
the singular fact, that northern democrats
and southern traitors have common sym
pathy and desire in the November election,
and that they now can work and pray to-
gether for the contamination of one and the
same object, viz, the election of George B.
Mcclellan to the Presidency of the United
| States.
| 4. ReSoLued, That we recognize with
gratitude the services of our brave officers
and soldiers of the army; that we will stand
| by them to the utmost extent of our ability
as the noble, heroic and self-sacriicing defeu-
ders of the Union; and that we hail with
feelings of pleasure, the many recent indica-
| tons, that their suffrages will be given for
the reputation of the Chicago platform and
its nominees and for the reelection of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
5. Resol0ed That in the present crisis
of our political history, we believe that the
continued distance and perpetuity of the
Union, demands the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln; that the. election of Geo. B. Nc
| Clellan, a candidate so manifestly accepta-
BILE to both northern and southern traitors,
would be the means of a dishonorable peace,
| the obstruction of our national credit, and
would lead to the speedy overthrow snd dis
solution Of the Union:-therefore every friend
of virtue and religion, of freedom and hu-
mainly, is now called upon to nerve himself
for the contest to save the country from fall
| ling into the hands of those who seek its ma
| tional life.
6. ReSolUed That We anxiously desire
the end of the present war, and that we have
entire confidence IN the ability, patriot SIN
and integrity Of our present peace Commits
