timOF6 Nominations, sf

An enthusiastic meeting was held at Ban
gor, Me, on the llth, to ratify the Balti-
more nominations. Vice President Hamlin
was present and spoke. We quote Tie Ban
gor Whig report, as follows:
From his acquaintance With President
Lincoln and Andrew johnson, he felt that il
was appropriate, and it would be expected,
that he should say something Of them
personality ii 5al1 a
OF President Lincoln there we're no words
which he could use that would increase him
in their estimation. They have long loved
him as the cherished and honored Chief
Magistrate Of the nation, and he had been
renomiualed and would be reelected in ODE
dienee To- the viii Of the people He could.
only repeat what be had 50 often said that
President Lincoln was . man Of eHiinent
abilities, and ofFare and unsurpassed integ-
,rity, who win Administer the Government
wisely and wen, and bring the nation out
Of its present difheulties, aaud plaintiff upon
b the, eternal principles Of Liberty. He will
certainly do no Intentional wrong and we
may repese in confidence that all his nndi-
vided efforts wifi be devoted unselfshly to
His-eouhtfy good. ll % ,..is nsaL9H 81

Andrew johnson, OF Tennessee was Rominat-
ed for Kics4Rresident, and lie spoke Of
ARdreW Johnson from long and inrimate
acquaintance He knew him well, aud q
purer patriot did not live in the land He
had been Governor Of Tenhessee, and had
represented his State 81 the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the United
States. From his long aR1 varied exPeri=
ence in the councils 0. his country, and by.
his intellectual abilities ana heroic patriot
ISM, he was emineRtly ft to discharge the
duties Of President should be- in the provid-
ehee Of God, be called TO do so, Amid
traitors in the Senate from his own section,
he stood unmoved, true to the Union and
Internationally true 10 his country
With US loyalty costs nothing Not to be
50 was simply infamous But to men who
lived in the midsti of treason and rebellion,
and who literally took theirlives in their
hands for adheriRg to-their eoUntry's flag,
their was indeed much merit. Such was
the position Of Aadrew Johnson; faithful he
stood among the faithless. Separated from
his home driven from his State, his proper
ty seized and eonhscated, bis sons .imprison-
ed, and his wife and children driven 20
the mountains for the preservation Of their
lives, are some Of The evidence which prove,
beyond all doubt, the loyalty and patriotism
Of Andrew johnson. will only add that
he has given to the Government his unfinch-
ing support Of all the measures which have
been adopted to crush out this rebellion.
He long since saw, with the eye of sa-
gacious statesman, that slavery could not be
left again to imperil the country peace 4
and salty, and has acted upon that eOnYie-
tion. He is every way eminentIy fitted
and qualified for the position to which he
has been nominated and he viii have our
honest and earnest Endorsement and
support.
