the assertion tina, the people win endorse
no such nomination. nor ~ill they concur
in such heartl--s Disregard Of what is due
upon such solemn occasions. If decent
respect for the sad prprieties Of such an
hour cannot deter such labors, we know Of
nothing that could influence men to halt
or hesitate when bent on certain career.
1t may be replied, =" Conventions assemble
rarely-their work must be DONE" Inf.
nitely rarer is the death of President of
the United States, and the annals of the
world furnish no parallel with his death, so
solemn, so mournful, so important, so hu-
initiating. so UNANIMOUSLY cruel, dastardly
and internal.
For the sake Of the Territory, we trust
what we are about to chronicle is untrue.
We hear it stated that a member of that
Convention forgot humanity SO far as TO
gloat over the death Of the devoted Lin
coin, to express surprise that be had
not met with similar fate, which he 70
justly deserved. two years ago." Can it
be possible that party makes such fiends
of men2 One such in Convention should
damn its every proceeding. That he must
have voted for the nomination made is GER
tain, for that nomination was by accla-
nation. This also is curious commento-
ry on that Convention. Twenty.
ballots we've had. Even McFadden had
not the assurance to want that nomination,
made under such cloud. Clark's friends
would not suffer his sacrifice, and with
drew his name. Tilton faced the music,
and no one else wanting it. received the
, veuayd. We believe such nomination
is tainted. We will not say that dele
gate holding such sentiments would find
his first choice in Major Tilton, but if the
opinions of Hicks and other 50 Democratic
editors as to the secession proclivitics of
Gen. Tilton, some time ago, now are the
views of the Democratic" nominee. we
must accord to that delegate credit for a
consistency Of purpose, which many even
in that Convention will not share nor
covet.
That awful Saturday Of gloomy memory
had other characteristics. While many
were seeking CLEAN Of hope that the tel
egram bringing such sad tidings was un-
true, Copperheads, treason sympathizcrs,
we'll wishers Of tho rebellion, were congrat.
ulating themselves that Andrew johnson,
a Southern man, q State rights man, had
now succeeded to the Chief Magistracy Of
the Union, and it was hcralded ecen vit1

have heard several say that they were not
disappointed to hear that Lincoln was
killed. One remarked as early as the
election in June last, that President Lin
