The REsuLT.-While the result of the cleo
ton yesterday was not such as We had hoped,
there is much in it to encourage the Onion
party. The majority Of the Chicago Conven-
ton Vice Presidential Mayor elect is cut
down two-thirds from his majority at the last
election.
Mr.. Bartlett, our Union candidate for
Marshal, is elected by big majority.
The success cfDr. Seaton in the Second
Ward is very gratifying, despite topperhead
raids made upon him, and the attacks of the
Copperhead organ, the voters Of the Second
rallied to his support and elected him. A sen.
sible thing to do, and they have sucured for
themselves thereby an efficient member oil
the council.
Let Union men cherish their faith and
principles and prepare for yet more deter.
mined fight when the contest comes again.
Another such victory as that won yesterday
will be defeat, and the Democracy will &c
under in Keokuk. To the Union men who
did their duty yesterday, and there were
many of them, there are good consciences in
the present and good cheer for the future.
To the Union men who shirked or wavered
| if there were any such, it will be no gratiica.
ton to reflect that their action has contrbut
ed to give again to Keokuk the semblance o
Copperhead vicinity.

NEW HANPsHIRE STATE CoNyESTIoS.-The
Republican State Convention at Concord on
the Sd inst. was fully attended and entirely
harmonious Gov. Smith was renomnated
unanimously by acclamation. The resolu-
tions adopted are seven. The first rejoiccs
at the victorious close of the great rebellion;
the second ieelingly recognizes the part
Abraham Lincoln had in the good result +;
the third pays a hearty tribute to the SOL
diers of New Hampshire, and resolves that
the fruits of their heroism shall not be lost
the fourth is against those Southern State
laws which establish forms Of involuntary
servitude little less oppressive than slavery,
and calls on Congress and the President to
see that the ordinance of universal emancl-
nation. written in the blood of our brothers
and sons, be not by any subterfuge annull'
ed or made of no effect; the fifth favOrs de-
cided action regarding Mexico in accordance
with the Monroe doctrine; the sixth ap
nroyes OF the character and the recent mes
sage of Andrew johnson and the seventh
calls for the faithful redemption ofthe Unior
debt. and for economy in State and nationa
expenditures. The question Of negro sui
frage is not referred to.
