Governor Joshua l.. Chamberlain be nonl-
mated By acclamaton as candidate for
Governor for the ensuing year. The vote
was taken by rising, and We ed Tot say
WAS unanimous.
Gen. Sheplcy then said. II declare Josh
ua J.. Chamberlain TO be the unanimous
choice OF the loyal soldiers and citizens OF
Maine.
Hon. J. L. Stevens submitted the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolred. That the Convention. representing
the views Of the Union men of Maine. en-
phaticay approves the platform of ~ iucjp.c,
recently adopted by the NAtiond Il publican
Convention IN Chicago. AS fairly expressive OF
the political iaith and purposes Of the legal citi
Zens Of the Republic.
Resoice !, That General Ulysses S. Gran,
for his genius and service in war, and for hi
ca. m aud >agacious craftsmanship in peace, d..
serves the confidence and viii receive the en-
ihusiastc support of toe patriotic fIeemen OF
Main. for the c. icf Misis,racy of the Nation
at the election in November.
Resotred, = nat Hon. Schuyler Cofax Of In.
uia"S. by his integrity and patriotism as 4
ri.,zcn, his ability and his acts rs IA public man,
and unwearying devotion to sound Nation ii
principles, is eminently qualified for the hig',
pI: CO 10 which he is nominated by the Naiio al
Republican Convention: and the Union men Of
Maine hereby pledg. him their united and cor
dial support for the Vice Presidency.
Resulted, That to Gen. Joshua l.. Chamber
lain distinguished alike tor his ability and bray.
cry rs il soldier and by his successful admins
trarion of the Gubcrnat0rial office which he fill
with such admirable satisfaction to the people
of Maine, this Convention pledges united 81 p
port aud IA triumphant election IN September.
ReS0iced That to the living, and 10 he men,
DRY Of the dead. Of all those who by Ian or sea
perlIed lite and limb to crush the recent rebel
lion and save the Republic from disme mbcr.
ment and overthrow, THIS Convention Offers re.
newcd toxic Is Of gratitude and homage.
Resoired, That the proposition made by the
recent Democratic Convention Of this State TO
sdmit the Rebels of the South TO share in til /.
tax on Government Bonds is IL fraud and out
rage upon the loyal people Of thu North. I'm.
der the delusive promise of tightening taxation
Ut home the resolution proposes to rob the peo-
pie OF Maine by assessing II tax on the deposits
Of savings banks, on the treasures OF our In
s,irtncc Companies, and on the hard earnings
of the hunbiest labor invested in Government
Bonds, a d to divide the amount so raised
among all the States, thus giving to the Rebels
OF Texas more than two dollars where the 10y.
nj men ui Maine would get one. We denounce
els ut the expense of loyal men and to subject
our National debt to the base use of lighting
anew the smould ering embcrs Of Southern Re.
belion.
ReSOfced, That the Democratic National
Convention. now in session in New York. may
well be regarded As an organized effort to revive
the spirit and acc ,mplish the purposes of the
lately supp essed rebellion, Its membership
is largely comprised OF men who led the Rebel
host, against the flag of the Union during the
recent bloody conflict, and Of those who plotted
treason in the Rebel Congress at Richmond
daring our late fur years of National sorrow.
It's first aim in the new revolt is to destroy the
Government credit and then overturn by Rev.
oiutionary violence tie Constitutional Govern
ments II the Southern States. Its il-concealed
movements asainst the first and its openly
aYowed parpose to accomplish the second,
should at once alarm and arouse all good citi-
zens who desire the peace, prosperity anu con.
tinucd union Of the States.

York on the night Of the 10Th inst of Watch
