The Response.

The following are q few Of the huh
dreds Of similar responses we have re-
ceived to The action Of the Baltimore
Convention, from our exehanges
The Union National Convention at
Baltimore nominated Abraham Lincoln
for President and Andrew johnson, Of
Tennessee, for Vice President of the
United States, yesterday. To this the
loyal men Of the Union say Ameni
These nominations proceeded from the
patriotic people. The delegates met
merely to give formal expression to the
overwhelming demands Of their consti-
tuents. and the people, in November,
viii ratify their action with q unanim-
ity almost unprecedented in our ma
tional history. Our faith in the ulti-
mate triumph Of liberty over slavery is
invincible, and our faith that Abraham
Lincoln IS the proper instrument 10
achieve this great object is Just as
strong. God bless Abraham Lincoln

The name of Agdy Johnson is a
synonym for both Radicaiism and pa
triotism. His personal character and
influence, wherever he moves are com
manding. His power in the executive
counscls will be felt A radical recon
stTuction Of the Cabinet on a radical
basis, and a radical prosecution of the
war to a radically righteous issue, are
results for which the people have long
PRAYED, and for which they can now
