MR.CHAsB ON THE BALTIMORE NoMINATIoNs
The efforts OF various persons to create ill
will between the friends Of Mr.. Lincoln and
Ar. Chase, or to produce the impression that
Mr.. Chase II partial to some movements for q
new Union Presidential Convention, or to
bolster up the crazy story that Mr.. Chase is
PRIV to any negotiations for the overthrow or
Withdrawal Of Mr.. Lincoln, are conclusivsly
met and answered by private letter from him
70 friends who asked his advice. This i'm
portant letter bears date OF Aug ~, and the
portion Of public interest is as follows:
81 do not see any reason for belle wing that
the great cause to which we are all bound, can
be promoted any better or as well by with
drawing support from the nomination made at
Baltimore, and no cause Of dissatisfaction,
however strong, will warrant any sacrifice of
THAT cause. What future circumstances may
require or warrant, cannot now be foreseen,
and need not now be considered. particu-

nothing that can create the impression that

The Richmond Enquirer, OF August 40, says

the name of civilization.

Within week past the number Of refugee.
reporting at the Provost Marshars Office has

or four from Richmond made their appearance
at Col 1ngraham's Office, and were released
upon taking the oath OF fidelity. They repeat
the old tale Of "hard times" at Richmond, and
say that there is no employment there for
mechanics, outside Of the government shops.
