from a letter written by Dr. Vogel, who

Nesting Of the Union State Central

Al meeting of the State Central Committee Of
the Union Party of Nevada held pursuant TO call,
February To- 1865, it was ordered as follows:
That q State Convention FOX the plrpose Of Sc
iectins delegates to represent the State in the
convention of the National Union Republican
Party, called to meet in Chicago on the 10th of
May, IS6s, be called to meet in Carson City on the
Sth day of April next.
That delegates to said convention be apportioned
a, follows:
One for each county, and
One for each Senator and Representative TO
which sach county is entitled.
That the several county Central Committees be
instructed to provide for the election of Delegates
70 the State Convention; said elections to be by
direct vote at the Primaries, or 10y Conventions
as the committees may direct. All elections OF
delegates to be had prior to the lst Of April next

is not competent to try the question of i'm

these the President will firmly refuse to pro-

Tue VICE Presidency is to be the bone
of contention at the Chicago Conyen-

vste for Grant for President. That part
of the business is settled. But there
are almost as many candidates for the
Vice Presidency as there ars States.
This iateres: is one of the best iudica-
tious characterizing latter political pro-
ceedings. The Vice Presidency has,
hitherto-as in the cases of Tyler, Fill
more and Johnson-been too lightly
considered. The contingency of the
death of the President, has, by reason
of some most painful reminders, come
to be regarded as a matter of vital mo-
ment. Some talk is heard here in favor
of Senator Nye for the position. All
things being smooth and favorable, such

These are some of the arguments in favor
of Nye. But we want all the strength
we can get in the doubtful States with
large representations in the electoral
college; and while justice points to
Hannibal Hamlin as the best entitled of
any man to receive the nomination
which he ought to have had when John
son was placed on the ticket with Lin
coin, the unanimous voice of the Re-
publicans Of New York, in favor of
Reuben E. Fenton, challenges our re-
spectful consideration. Unquestionably
Fenton is very strong, popular man in
his State. He has won success in two
very closely fought campaigns and
there can be no doubt, that placed along
side of Grants name, his would have
powerful influence toward giving US
New York in November. This fact
should have much weight-more weight
in an election of so great significance as
the coming one than any sectional ill.,
terests or local preferences and we
think it would be wise and polite for
Nevada to ins:-uc: her delegates to Chi
cago to cast their votes for Fenton-at
any rate to do so provided the nomina-
ton of Nye or some other Pacific State
man should prove an impossibility. New
England and the West are safe, while
New York is doubtful-and We want
