have not only the cooperation Of all present,
but OF every friend of Mr.: Lincoln in Wash
ington. 1t was known to them that Mr.. Lin
coin was not his choice, but Mr. Lincoln had
been nominated by the Union Convention by

aloof to be as great an enemy OF the country
as are those who go for George b. Mcclellan.
