sabjss. TO- the Decision Of a National
ga. Union Convention:
Tne,Baisinaore Conventions.
We 70. to press too early to enable US
70 give our readers an account of the pro-
cesdings 9th. great National 'Convsn-
ton to nomin.se candidates for the Pres
idoncy and Vice Presidency Of the United
States. and Of our State Convention for
ths nomination Of Electors to be voted for
IN November next. The former body
nst on Tuesday, and undoubtedly closed
IL labors last evening, We regard it as
certain, that Abraham Lincoln has been
unanimously renominated to the nigh
Office he has filed SO worthily-No in:
cumbent Of the Presidential chair since
washington has Impressed upon the gen
<ral mind = more profound conviction of
aaspotted integrity, and Of unsel6sh de.
vo.ion to the country. than has the great
and good man VIII, nov fills it-and who
Ne confidently believe. is destined to car
~ the country safely through the most
imminenaand deadly porils that ever be-
fol q patton in the whole history Of recor-
asd Time-Tho great masses Of the pso-
ple everywhere throughout the whole
length and breadth Of the loyal States
with unparalleled unanimity. have spon-
t.ueously pronounced their determination
70 re-elect him; and we suppose that near
" alt the delegates to the National Con-
vsution are pledged to his support. The
State Convention which elected our Del
sgates to tho National Convention. in
structed them in terms which admit Of no
mistake; ITO vote for Abraham Lincoln
fyst, last, aad all the time" They ac-
eepted the trust under these circumstan-
Ca. and We have no idea that they have
bseu ,or will bs .unfaithful to them. If
any Of them have ever entained an opin-
ION that seme other man might enforce a
more vigorous prosecution of the war
for the suppression Of this most hateful ro
bsllion. Of recognise mora promptly ths
value Of the radical element in the
Union party of the border States; We be-
Eevo they now fully concur with tie great
body of that party, that the Presidents
preferment of Gen. Grant to the chief
command of our armies in the field. and
his often expressed sympathy with the
sincere and genuine friends of Uncondi-
sional Emancipation in those States. have
removed the last and only objection which
thsy possibly could have held against his
reelection. The Union party in Mary
land will be found unit in his support
and 70 have no doubt the electoral vote
II The State will be cast in his favor.
The State Convention for the nomina-
>ion Of Presidential electors was held yes
to-day in Baltimore, and Of course, no
account Of its proceedings has reached US
q the time We write. The call for this
Convention was issued BY the State Con-
trsl Committee and delegates have been
chosen under that call. We presume from
IN the counties in the State. and tho city
Of Baltimore. In the city, however.
ths city Convention issued call for the
ssms purbose. subsequently to the call By
he Chairman Of the State Central Com.
nitsss and the primary meetings under
both calls were hsld on the same evening
last weak and there we're consequently
two ssts Of Delegates slsctsd TO the Con-
vsutiou, both Of which are pledged TO
-ahs support Of the nominee Of tho Nation.

eountiss to conceive Of any necessity for
dis action Of The Baltimore city Conveu-
tion. The authority Of the State Central
