Convention, which assembled IN Baltimore on
the 7th Of June, 1864, has instructed us TO in
form you that you were nominated with enthu-
siastic unanimity for the Presidency Of the Uni
tel States. for four years from the lth Of March
next.
The resolutions Of the Convention which We
have already had the honor Of placing in your
hands, are a full and clear statement Of the
principles which inspired its action, and which,
as We believe, the great body Of Union men IN
the country heartily approve Whether those
resolutions express the national gratitude TO our
soldiers and sailors or the national scorn Of COM
promise with rebels, and consequent dishonor, or
the patriotic duty Of union and success; whcth-
er they approve the Proclamation of Emaucipa-
tion, the Constitutional amendment, the en-
ploymeut Of former slaves as Union soldiers, or
the solemn obligation Of the Government prompt
" to redress the wrongs Of every soldier Of the
Union Of Whatever color or race; whether they
declare the inviolability Of the pledged faith Of
the nation, or offer the national hospitality to
the oppressed Of every land. or urge the union
bv railroad Of the Atlantic aud Pacific Oceans;
whether they recommend public economy and
vigorous taxation. or assert the fixed popular
opposition 10 the establishment by armed force Of
foreign monaIchics in the Immediate nCghbur-
hood of the United States, or declare that those
only are worthy Of official trust who approve
