TN motion, q communication from tho
Conservative Union National Convention,
cntaning the resolution adopted by that

The resolution Of the convention recon

Clcllan by the convention. for the Presidcn
cy, and pledgins him a unanimous and
hearty support, brought forth prolonged
applause by the convention.
On motion, the Convention proceeded 10
80 into permanent organization, the con-
mlttcc on organization being ready to make

Excellency Gov. Seymour, Of New York

State represented, also three recording sec.
retares.
The report was adopted unanimously

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention met at 4 clock, and upon
the opening Of the convention, the
resolutions were reported and unanimously
adopted.
The excitement and enthusiasm in the
convention on the adoption of these resolu-
tons, was intense. Cheer after cheer went
up in succession, until the audience seemed
hoarse from their enthusiastic and hearty
efforts
Un motion, the Convention proceeded to
nominate candidates for the r.sidercv and
VicePIesidency
Mr.. --, Of New Jersey, made the
motion, which was seconded by Hon. S. S.
Cox, of Ohio, that George u. Mcclellan lie
the nominee Of the Convention.
The enthusiasm created by this no,nina-
ton vas of the most intensely and enthusi
as'ic character. For nearly ten minutes
the shouts cf the Convention shook the vas.
anp.heatre and filled the air for a full mile
around. Never was enthusiasm mere COM
plete Or cheers more heartily given.
Several other candidates, Seymour, Of
Connecticut; Powell, OF Kentucky and
Pierce, Of New Hampshire. were nominated
and their n:,f.,rs Withdrawn.
a spirited discussion arose respecting the
merits and dement's Of Gen. Mcclellan, in
which some severe language was used, but
which had no serious effect.
The name of Gov Seymour, Of New
York, was brought before the Convention,
which was received with storms Of ap-
plause. The confidence of the people in
that man is firm as tho rock of ages. He is
the only opponent Gen. Mcclellan will have
in the Convention, and pledge you my
word, he is worthy one. Next to Mac,
he is the choice Of the people.
The Convention adjourned without hav-
ing balloted, but am still firm in the opin.
ion that those delegates who have made nm
their minds to 80 for Mcclellan, will stand
By their determination If I am wrong.
thank Heaven that the nominee will be the
Governor, and h. j. Uoed enough for any
mans vote. anna az tyl ~ p 'g'd
