Tho two best nominations were given 10

element is said still to have gone away
| dissatisfied, as there were half dozen
of the sane stripe applying for every
office. The German elem ar. vas wholly
! ignored
| The Committee on resolutions then 70,
! ported 4 lengthy series, the substance oi
| which is thus giren il. inc 7fmes' despatch =:
Irdersing the Presidents proclamation
and the ar,ning of negroes; also stating
mat II is not necessary to indoors every
act Of Abraham, Lincoln IN Order t. regard
him IS "a honest man and that, if he
shall receive the nomination at Baltimore,
this convention will support lin, oppos-
ing any settlement of the present d.ficrl--
ties while any human being remains in
bondage; in favor of contiscating the
homesteads and estates of every rebel, and
giving ons half ~ our soldiers, and sailing
the other half to pay the war debt; con-
demnIng the democratic members of the
last Legislature, and denouncing them as
"ceppSrhesds; for an amendment to the
constitution prohibiting slavery, Sc, &c
These resolutions, though radical
enough one would think, to sui. Oberlin
or St. Louis itself, were chargeable with a
grave omission, being no less than tie
absence Of resolution instructing tt
! delegates to the Baltimore convention to
support Lincoln. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that their reading created the
widest conmotion. A hundred delegates
were on the floor at time and for three
hours the scene OF confusion was indes-
utions were tabled, and another committee
appointed, who, after a suitable time for
incubation, matched a new set, supplying
the commission. The new set were quite
as radical as the others, and excited 10
other debate, except on the instruction
for l. nco!n, which, even at Springfield,
half a dozen delegates dared energetically
to oppose. However, the resolutions went
through, and Old Abe gets the vote Of tn .
state at Baltimore; but another conven-
ticn which met at Springfield at the same
time with tho above, composed Of the
German element" also sent a stiff anti
Liscola delegation to the Cleveland con-
ventior.
