The baltimore Convcntion-The Ticket
and Platform.

That extraordinary gathering Of political
odds and ends, the Republican or Union National
Presidential Convention, has closed its labors,
adjourned and dispersed. Its ticket is Abra-
ham Lincoln, Of Illinois, and Andrew johnson,
OF Tennessee, q Western ticket, and the plat
form adopted Is generally radical, yet wlthal
strangely mixed up and curious, conglomerate
affair.
Why Hannibal Hamlin was set aside, and
why Andrew Johnson was, OF all men, regarded
as the man for Vice President, we do not pre-
down to the rebellion, a regular dyed-in-the
wool Southern democrat, it may have been
supposed that his name would give strength to
Old Abe among the old lire war democracy
and contribute, at the same time, to encourage
the leading politicians Of the rebeliious States
to abandon the Improbable drudgery Of jeff
Davis, and to come over into the remunerative
service of Abraham Lincoln. 1t will suffice,
however that Andrew Johnson has been nomi-
mated for Vice President under the idea that
he is a stronger man than Mr.. Hamln, although
it is possible that the New England States may
have word to say upon this matter, which
will be anything but advantageous to Mr.. Lin
coin or his new colleague
The new platform upon which Messrs. Lin
coin and johnson are mounted we must say
10 sumner. The first resolution of the series
demands the suppression Of the rebellion by
force Of arms. Good, although we think we
have beard Of this proposition before. The
second resolution declares against any CON-
promise with armed rebels, except upon the
condition precedent Of their unconditional sur
render. Very well. The third insists that sla-
very be utterly extirpatcd from the soil Of
the United States, and calls for . constitu-
tional amendment to that end. This is q plank
from the HERALD platform. The fourth thanks
our soldiers and sailors for their gallant and
glorious services, which is all very well. But
the fifth approves the course pursued by Pres-
dent Lincoln, including his emancipation pro-
Carnations, the enlistment of negro soldiers,
and 90 on, which is somewhat remarkable,
after declaring for the supercedure Of Old
Abes tinkeriug abolition experiments by the
mode provided in the constitution. But what
means the sixth resolution, which calls
for harmony in the councils Of the admin
istration, and approves only those officials
whose sentiments and conduct are in full accord
with the salient measures of the administration?
In this shot at Mr.. Seward, or at the Blair
family, or at that inoieDsive old man,

Grundy say II Montgomery Blair, as

enth resolution demands full protection to the
soldiers Of the Union, without regard to color,
which is pretty broad hint that Old Abe
has fallen short Of bis duty 10 this matter Tho

eighth resolution declares In favor Of foreign
immigraton--a neat bid for the foreign vote
The ninth goes for Pacific railroad, which
probably secures all parties concerned In that
project. The tenth pledges the national faith
for the redemption Of the public debt, which
will be accepted IS . good thing by Mr.. Sec
rotary Chase's boAdholders. The eleventh de-
clares for the maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine, which, In winding up, is pretty good
thing for buncombe.
Negro suffrage, negro equality, miscegenation,
free love and woman's rights, DO, are among
the reforms which the Convention turned out
Of doors with the mixed delegation Of army suit
lers and contrabands, whites and blacks, from
South Carolina. What Wendell Phillips and
his radical faction will say to this we think it
will not be difficult to conjecture The de-
velopments of a very few days, we apprehend,
from Q popular reaction among radicals and
conservatives, war men and peace men, repub-
licans and democrats, against the corruptions,
blunders and imbecilities of this administration,
will show that Honest Old Abe, even ON his
new platform, will have very "hard road to
travel"
