PREsIDENrIAL.-Ihe New York State Conyen-
ton is stated to have been unanimously IN favor
of Mr.. Lincoln : nomination passing the follow
ing resolution,
RESOLVED, That this Convention, approving
the Administration Of Abraham Lincoln, and
recognizing bls integrity and patriotic Efforts to
suppress the Rebellion which he found 10 exist.
ence upon his Inauguration, hereby expresses
its preference for his denomination for the Office
OF President Of the United States.
State Conventions IN Ohio and Illinois have
ALEC passed resolutions recommending Mr. Lin
coins re nomination.
Meetings have been held in Florida, and South
Carolina, at which delegates have been elected
to Baltimore. Delegates have also been chosen
from Louisiana, and we believe from Arkansas
1t is thought that the Convention at Cleve-
land, which meets this week, will nominate
Fremont. There is also to be convention at
Baltimore the 9th OF June which is supposed to
be called by those favorable to Secretary Chase.
The Union Leaguers also have convention at
Baltimore, the Same week, and the delegates
are said to be divided in sentiment
II the regular convention make s any nomina.
ton now, Mr. Lincoln will undoubtedly be the
candidate selected But il is ntimated that the
will probably adjourn over to Sep
tember Ii it should do this, and the same
reasons should exist then for nominating Mr..
Lincoln, as now, OF course he would then re-
,eive the endorsement Of the Convention. If,
n the meantime, however there should be any
iecided change in public sentiment, the delay
night give the Union party the opportunity OF
aklng advantage Of this change instead OF be-
ng defeated by it and for this reason 1t seems
visable that the convention should adjourn
Without making nomination.

be good enough to give the chapter and verse
which describes the persons who may be rlghIfulIy

But Prof. Morse, doubtless like ali apoloRists
for slavery as part OF /" Divine Plau," comes
back at last to the curse OF Ham. And il be
must have bis hobby he may as well ride that as
any. The South, to be sure have abandoned
the Canaan theory, and fsllen sack upon the only
oglcal defence Of their institution, the theory
that capital should everywhere, and irrespective
Of color or race, own labor. II they introduce
tile curse of Ham at all into their argument it Is
simply to give it favor of prophecy and silence
the upbraidings of uneasy conscences A few
venerable Doctors Of Divinity still linger in the
shadow Of that curse, and apologize for the gross
est sin Of the age by calling it fuflment Of di
yiue prophecy, never seeming to be able to come
to the light OF the blessed gospel which the New
Testament sheds on all the races upon the face Of
the whole earth. And with such il is Of no use TO
reason, for they would no sooner think Of striving
to abolish slavery than Of striving to put an end
to sin, both being upon the earth, in their Judg'
ment as punishment for its transgressons

THE MONROE DoCTRINE.--Our readers will
remember that the House Of Representatives, sew
eral weeks SINCE passed. bya nearly unanimous
vote resolution expressive Of strong disapproba-
ton Of the attempts Of any European power to es'
tibsh a monarchcal form Of government on this
continent. The resolution was sent to the Senate
where it has been suffered TO rest. In the mean
time, however, it having been stated that Secretary
Seward had sent dispatch explaining matter
to the French Government the House unanimous
" passed resolution calling on the President for
the correspondence. The President transmitted
it, and the important part Of Secretary Stewards
dispatch, after stating that the resolution truly
nterprets the unanimous sentiments Of the peo-
pie Of the United States in regard to Mexico" is
as follows
1t is, however, another and distinct question
whether the United States would think il ntces-
sary or proper b. express themselves n the form
adopted by the Hou'e Of Representatives at this
time. This is practical aud merely Executive
question, and the decision Of it belongs not TO the
House Of Representatives, nor even to Congress,
but to the President of the United States. You
will, Of course, take not ee that the declaration
made by the House Of Representatives is 10 the
form Of joint resolution, which, before ii can &C.
quire the character Of a legislative act, must re-.
ceve first the concurrence of the Senate and
secondly the approval Of the President Of the
United States, or IN case Of bis dissent the re-
newed assent of both Houses OF Congress, to be
expressed by a majority Of two-thirds Of each
body While the President receives the declars-
ton Of the House Of Representatives With the pro.
found respect to which it is entitled, as an e1posi
ton OF its views upon grave and important sub
Ject be directs that you inform the government
Of France that he does not al present contemplate
any departure from the policy Dhich this gorerr.
ment has hitherto pursued in regard to The Wdr
tChich erists betpee, France and ,uerlco.
1t probable that the House will take DO fur
ther action in the matter, as they have no more
control over the President than be has over them.
Ii is obviously humiliatiDg TO an American, how
ever, to know that the passage OF a resolution by
the House of Representatives which, Mr. Seward
admits, truly interprets the unanimous sentiment
Of the people Of The United States" should be at
once made the occasion for an unsolicited expla-
nation TO The French monarch yet we suppose
We must submit to such humlllations until the re-
bellion is suppressed Would Il not be as well
for US mol to sneer at England for sending Carl.

Gg- a noticeable feature of the soldier
