The Grand RenuIt.

4 MCCLELLAN is nominated BY sn over
whelming majority, and the result was
received with the greatest enthusiasm.
The harmony Of The Convention was pre-
served unimpaiied, and the doom Of
ABRAHAM LiScoLN is sealed Governor
SEYMOUR made most eloquent speech.
fully endorsing the nominee; and Mr.
VALLANDIoHAM gave in his unreserved ad-
hesion. Now, for the great work of the
canvass Let the despotism Of AsRAHAA
LINCOLN be overthrown by the means
appointed by the Constitution. Every
man to his duty
we Must sHppOrt the Nominee.
If any Democrat, in his great anxiety
iorpeace, has been induced to say that he
will not support Gen. MoCLELLAS, il
nominated, let him reconsider his determi-
naton, and reflection will convince him
! that he is in error. In the first place, If
we consent to go into Convention. by
sending our representatives there to act in
our behalf, we are morally bound TO abide
the result, Our promise is made. 1t is
a tacit agreement on our part, that we will
vote for whomsoever the majority shall
select. This CONVEX tion Of ours is not
made up OF place-holders, bought with q
price, wearing the collars of master,
who feeds and clothes them, as was that Of
Baltimore. 1t is composed, in the main,
of private citizens, and all are animated
by the pure and patriotic purpose Of re-
deeming our country from the bloody tyran-
ny by which it is enthralled. It is our
duty to accord to it, wisdom of action,
honesty of purpose, and hearty and cordi-
al support and approval, whatever may
be the result Of its deliberations.
Gen. MCCLELLAN was not the choice of
the majority Of the Democracy in this
region. They would have preferred a
man wholly unconnected with the war.
But when he consents to stand upon a
platform which demands a cessation OF
hostilities, and convention of the States
for the adjustment of our troubles, it re-
moves very much of the objection justly
arising from this reason.
1t is to be considered that we have only
the choice between the nominee of the
' Chicago Convention, made by an assem-.
blage of patriots such as we have describ.
u ed, on a platform of principles which gives
n satisfaction to all, and ABRAHAM LINCOLN
a whom the leading men of his own party
have denounced as n usurper and tyrant
p or JoHN G. FRFMoNT, who has no possibl,
chance Of election. What democrat car
= hesitate to make choice
1t is to be remembered, also, that if tn,
=. nominee of the Chicago Convention il
n elected, the ruthless prescription and per
secution which the Democracy have suffer
k ed during the four years of LINCOLN rule
will cease. The Democratic people will b,
L protected in their persons, their property
!, and their liberty. They will be restore,
. to freedom of speech and of the press
Their meetings will not be broken up b,
= scoundrelly mobs melted by the lyin,
r v'llainy of Republican leaders They will
bo restored to the privileges of the mails
g Their papers will not be thrown out, no
e their letters feloniously opened. Tn
innumerable and execrable gang Of pimpt
e spies and informers, who infest ever local
c ity, will be dispersed, and their dirty voca
= ton be gone forever
Is not all this worth making some littl
1t sacrifice for, of prejudice or predilection
!. That the Democracy win agree with us i
=. this we feel fully assured, and to unite
y Democratic vote there will be added tn
, support of thousands of honest Republi
d cans, and the accursed, bloody, despoti
reign of Black Republicanism will hay
passed away forver
