Delegation. who were admitted BY vote
Of 40 to 4. Delegates were admitted
from Ill the Territories and . member
of The rebel States.
The Platform relates chiefly 70 the con-
dition of the country-in favor Of . pros
ssution Of the war. without granting any
other terms of peace than an unconditional
surrender Of hostilities By the rebels. and
thsir return to allegiance to the Govern
mont.
Abraham Lincoln vas nominated for
President, and Andrew johnson. of Ten.
nsssse. for Vice President. BY acclsma-
ton.
However We may dislike Lincoln's
Missouri policy, his amnesty proclsma-
ton, and bis shabby treatment of Kansas.
Il is ths duty Of every true Union man to
give The ticket 9 hearty support. Every
vote esst for any other Union or Radical
candidate. will be 50 many in favor of the
nominee Of the Rebel or peace Democ-

The Blair Scandal,

The more il is reflected upon, tbs mors
indefensible does the course Of the Pr.i.
dent appear in investing with high com.
mand the slsnderer Of Governor Chn.,
and on the very day whom bis A,ud.n
were promulgated.
1t is wondered at. that consideration q,
the public interest did not restrain Tho
President from this act Of obeisancs to
the Blairs. even If decorum toward
member of his own Cabinet did not n
strain him.
The charges made against Gov. Chm
go directly to his integrity. and just sofr
a. they are believed abroad. must impair
the value of onr public securities flour
chief finsncial fnnctionary. having the
vast discretionary power which Sscrs-
tsry of the Treasury has. is such shame
less knsve as Frank Blair. Jr. represents
him to be. going to the length Of robbins
the public to the extent OF ten millions Of
dollars to enrich q son-in-lsw. Of setting
apart special public revenues for the sup
port Of q psrtizsn committee. and Of con-
niving with favofa,e bankers to embsrzls
the public fonds by bogus subscriptions
to stocks; what security is there for any
thing I? What are our bonds worth !
Who can tell bow many have really bean
issued :?
In what other country. or in vba. 9th
er age. has this spectacle been eIhibissd,
of the head Of Q Governments indor'ins
attacks upon the honesty ofs chief official,
charged with the custoiy Of the pablo
moneys. and At the sanne time retaining
that official in his place :!
And what time did the President selscs
for stabbing the public credit. BY this IN.
dorsement of charges against the integrity
of his Secretary Of the treasury? Not
merely . time Of war. bot the very eriss
of the war, and when the public credit
needed every cid that could be given to Il.
Under the circumstances. the besto"si
Of . Major Generals commission upon
Frank Blair. Jr.. on the 23d Of April,
marks an abject and unreAecting subssr'
viency Of the President to the Bl,r',
which excites alarm. snd ought to excite

The PRESIDENT AND FRAME. BLAIR
We heartily approve the determination
Of the caucus of Senators to support res
olution refusing to recognize Frank Blair
as Major General in the military service.
and recommending his dismissal from it.
as holding his commission 10 violation Of
law. We say with unfeignsd sorrow
that all the mistakes which the President
had previously committed were Of light
moment, compared with his conduct in
this matter. His strength with the people
has lain, throughout. in their confidence
that however much q portion of his most
important acts fell short Of, or were con.
trary to the dem snds of the country and
of the time. they proceeded from sincere
belief that they would best promote the
public good. and that desire to please
favorites. or to gain merely personal sup.
port, had no place among them. We do
not say. thst even in this matter the Pres
ident has not acted from patriotic mo-
tives; but we do say that no motives can
justify his course. and that the acceptance
of Frank Blair's resignation Of his com
mission, in order to enable him to hold
seat in Congress. upon the promise that
the acceptance of his resignation should
be withdrawn, in case be should not be
elected Speaker. and the iulillmeDt Of
the promise. were equally disgrsceful to
the President aud to Blair. Mr.. Lincoln
never, during bis experiences as lawyer,
saw Q more questionable piecs of sharp
practice perpetratsd by third rate Hi.
nois pettifogger to save borse-thief from
his just deserts. than be has employed in
this effort to force this rotten demagogue,
this, apostate Radical. this msIigneT Of
q member Of the President 3 own Cabinet.
whose boots be is unworthy to black. this
Frank Blair. into . high military Office in
spite Of the wishes Of the Senate, and Of
the losth!ng which the American people
feel for the Blair name.-Deiroa Tribune
