news has spread from lip to lip and from
heart to heart like mighty pulsation. %.

count of the doings Of the Convention. tits
sufficient for the people to know, that their

'.HONEST ABE LINCOLN!"
The nomination was made on the first
ballot, ard President Lincoln received every
vote in the convention with the exception of
the twelve delegates from Missouri who gave
their votes to Gen. Grant. No one who was
not politically blind Or eIsefallowed his pre-
JUDGES to warp his judgment expected any
other result In every loyal state the peo-
pie had long since made their choice and
expressed their preference through conYen-
tions, in mass meetings and otherwise, in a
manner that could not have been mistaken
by those chosen to represent them in the
National Convention, We have DO fears a
to the result in November next The peo-
pie will ratify the action Of th Convention
at the ballot box, with nnanimity never be

ceed so effectuaIIy, that when next the
electoral college assemblies, every vote will
! be cast one way, % This would be truly a
glorious triuihpR of7the people over the com
bined exqrtions Of politicians, d9magogues,
and rebel sympatbizers Let the people go
to work now, themselves, for their owncan
didates. Their e&ertions will add to the
completeness of our victory in November.-
The following is the platform adopted by
the convention, every plank ofwhich will
be ratified and approved by the people. It is
broad enough for all I9gal men to stand up
on, whatever may have been their political
predictions hitherto; l.i Gals 1.." .i.a,-a.
