was adopted requesting the Ohio State Committee to correspond with the National Committee and urge an earlier date than June 13th, as originally agreed upon, for the convening of the Republican National Convention. This was done and the movement proved successful, its opening day being changed to May 16th, nearly a month earlier than before.

The call for the State Convention, issued January 23d, provided that each Congressional district should elect two delegates to the Chicago Convention. The County Committees of the several districts were to at once fix time and place of the District Conventions to elect such delegates, or agree that the delegates from the district to the Columbus Convention should elect them. Washington's birthday (February 22d) was suggested as a suitable day for the District Conventions, but each district was expected to consult its own convenience, and all were asked to announce their delegates to Chicago at the Columbus Convention. The call was signed by all the members of both the State Executive and the State Central Committees.

The State Convention assembled in the Odeon, adjoining the Neil House, in Columbus, at eleven o'clock, Thursday morning, March 1st, for temporary organization. James T. Worthington, of Ross County, was elected Chairman, and Charles W. Noble, of Cuyahoga, Henry G. Armstrong, of Hamilton, and Appleton B. Clark, of Licking, Secretaries.

At the afternoon session, the temporary organization was made permanent with the addition of Benjamin R. Cowen, of Belmont, H. L. McKee, of Seneca, and Cornelius Parmenter, of Allen, as Assistant Secretaries. The following names were an

nounced for Delegates-at-Large to Chicago: Robert C. Kirk, of Knox; Thomas Spooner, of Hamilton; Samuel Craighead, of Montgomery; Albert G. Conover, of Miami; John M. Millikin, of Butler; Christopher P. Wolcott, of Summit; Ralph P. Buckland, of Sandusky; James M. Ashley, of Lucas; John J. Gurley, of Morrow; Abner Haines, of Warren; William P. Cutler, of Washington; Norton S. Townshend, of Lorain; Joseph M. Root, M. Root, of Erie; Jonathan T. Updegraff, of Jefferson; Chambers Baird, of Brown; Donn Piatt, of Logan; Francis M. Wright, of Champaign; Valentine B. Horton, of Meigs; Conrad Brodbeck, of Montgomery; David K. Cartter, of Cuyahoga. The first ballot resulted: Cartter 85, Horton 62, Ashley 29, Buckland 28, Gurley 27, Spooner 27, Updegraff 22, Cutler 21, Townshend 20, Wolcott 20, Baird 18, Brodbeck 18, Conover 17, Root 16, Piatt 14, Craighead 9, Millikin 9, Kirk 8, Wright 3, Haines 3. The whole number of votes was 456, so that 229 were necessary to a choice. Before the result could be announced changes were made to Judge Cartter so that he received 281 votes and was declared elected. Craighead, Wright and Wolcott were withdrawn and a second ballot was taken, with each delegate voting for three candidates, resulting as follows: Brodbeck 328, Horton 287, Spooner 272, Ashley 141, Updegraff 92, Buckland 62, Gurley 57, Millikin 48, Kirk 32, Root 28, Cutler 25, Baird 24, and Conover 22. So Brodbeck, Horton and Spooner were declared elected.

The following were presented for Alternate Delegates-at-Large and those successful received the vote here given: Jacob Mueller, of Cuyahoga, 344: Samuel M. Smith, of Franklin, 259; Abner Kellogg, of Ashtabula, 255; Edward B. Taylor, of Darke, 255:

William Miner, of Warren; Albert W. Baker, of Darke; James M. Brown, of Stark; Erasmus D. Peck, of Wood; and Samuel E. Browne, of Miami.

The Committee on Resolutions submitted but a single resolution, which read as follows:

Resolved, That while the Republicans of Ohio will give their united support to the nominee of the Chicago Convention, they would indicate as their first choice and recommend to said Convention the name of Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio.

The vote was about to be put, when Barton S. Kyle, of Miami, demanded that it be taken by a call of the counties. After some discussion this was agreed to and the roll call resulted-yeas 383, nays 69. The negative vote was from the following counties: Belmont 2, Clarke 3, Clermont 3, Darke 6, Delaware 3. Fayette 1, Greene 5, Hamilton 9, Highland 5, Knox 4, Lawrence 2, Licking 1, Madison 3, Miami 4, Montgomery 3. Muskingum 1, Pickaway 2, Portage 1, Tuscarawas 7, Union 1, and Warren

Sixty-five of the eighty-eight counties. voted unanimously for the resolution; seventeen were divided; four-Darke, Highland, Madison and Tuscarawas-voted unanimously against it; and two-Gallia and Monroe, were not represented. The counties that were divided cast eighty-one votes for the resolution, to forty-eight against it. The result was greeted with prolonged cheers for Chase and the Republican cause.

Before leaving Columbus, the delegates at-large and a number of district delegates to the Chicago Convention met at the Neil House and organized by electing David K. Cartter, of Cleveland, Chairman, and Benjamin Eggleston, of Cincinnati, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Spooner, the Secretary was empowered to visit Chicago, and secure rooms and a parlor to accommodate the delegation in one of the best hotels of the city. The Chairman was given author

ity to call the delegation at any time prior

to the Convention should he deem it expedient to do so. Mr. Eggleston reported on March 20th that he had secured quarters for the Ohio delegation at the Tremont House a large parlor for a caucus room, and comfortable quarters."

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The second Republican National Convention assembled at noon in the Wigwam, in Chicago, on Wednesday, May 16, 1860, with delegates present from all the States and Territories except Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The Wigwam had been erected by the Republic ans of Chicago, during the previous fortnight, expressly for the use of the Convention, at a cost of $7,000. It was described as a small edition of the New York Crystal Palace, holding 10,000 persons comfortably, and admirable for its acoustic excellence. An ordinary voice could be heard throughout the whole structure with ease.

The Ohio delegation was an able and

Lincoln, and wisely determined the contest in favor of the latter. It was composed as follows: At Large: David Kellogg Cartter, of Cuyahoga; Conrad Brodbeck, of Montgomery; Thomas Spooner, of Hamilton; and Valentine B. Horton, of Meigs. By districts: 1. Benjamin Eggleston and Frederick Hassaurek, of Hamilton. 2. Richard M. Corwine and Joseph H. Barrett, of Hamilton. 3. William Beckett, of Butler; Peter P. Lowe, of Montgomery. 4. George D.

8. Levi

Burgess, of Miami; John E. Cummins, of Shelby. 5. David Taylor, of Defiance; Elijah Graham, of Wood. 6. John M. Barrere, of Highland; Reader W. Clarke, of Clermont. 7. Thomas Corwin, of Warren; Abraham Hiveling, of Greene. Geiger, of Champaign; William H. West, of Logan. 9. Earl Bill, of Erie; Daniel W. Swigart, of Crawford. 10. John V. Robinson, of Scioto; Milton L. Clark, of Ross. II. Nelson H. Van Vorhes, of Athens; Alexander C. Sands, of Vinton. 12. Willard Warner, of Licking; Jonathan Renick, of Pickaway. 13. John J. Gurley, of Morrow; Philip N. Schuyler, of Huron. 14. Norton

S. Townshend, alternate for James Monroe, of Lorain; George U. Harn, of Wayne. 15. Columbus Delano, of Knox; Robert K. Ennis, of Holmes. 16. Daniel Applegate, of Muskingum; Caleb A. Williams, of Morgan. 17. Charles J. Albright, of Guernsey; William Wallace, of Belmont. 18. Horace Y. Beebe, of Portage; Isaac Steese, of Stark. 19. Robert T. Paine, of Cuyahoga; Reuben Hitchcock, of Lake. 20. Joshua R. Giddings, of Ashtabula; Milton Sutliff, of Trum

bull.

21. Samuel Stokely, of Jefferson; David Arter, of Carroll.

After the State Convention at Columbus had been held, and Governor Chase formally endorsed for President, it is claimed a secret movement was inaugurated at Washington looking to the nomination of Benjamin F. Wade, then Senator from Ohio. This the friends of Governor Chase strongly resented, and declared that it was encouraged simply by those who had aspirations to succeed Mr. Wade in the Senate, and the gentlemen commonly mentioned in this connection were David K. Cartter, Joshua R. Giddings, Christopher P. Wolcott, William Dennison, Jr., Thomas Corwin and Columbus Delano. There is nothing to substantiate the story-certainly no act, at least and it is given simply as one of the newspaper rumors of the time.

Edwin D. Morgan, of New York, Chair

man of the Republican National Committee, called the Convention to order and read the call under which it assembled, as follows:

A National Republican Convention will meet at Chicago on Wednesday, the 16th day of May next, at twelve o'clock, noon, for the nomination of candidates to be supported for President and Vice President at the next election. The Republican electors of the several States, the members of the People's party of Pennsylvania, and of the Opposition party of New Jersey, and all others who are willing to co-operate with them in support of the candidates which shall there be nominated, and who are opposed to the policy of the present Administration; to Federal corruption and usurpation; to the extension of slavery into the Territories; to the new and dangerous political doctrine that the Constitution of its own force carries slavery into all the Ferritories of the United States; to the opening of the African slave trade; to any inequality of rights among citizens; who are in favor of the immediate admission of Kansas into the Voion under the constitution recently adopted by its people; of restoring the Federal Administration to a system of rigid economy and to the principles of Washington and Jefferson; of maintaining inviolate the rights of

It was dated at New York, December 22, 1859, and was signed by Committeemen from twenty-three States, the Territory of Kansas and the District of Columbia. Thomas Spooner was the member from Ohio.

In concluding his remarks, Governor Morgan nominated David Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, for Temporary Chairman, who, upon taking the chair, made an eloquent. and forcible anti-slavery speech. Thomas Spooner, of Ohio, moved that Frederick Hassaurek, of Ohio, Theodore M. Pomeroy, of New York, and Henry T. Blow, of Missouri, be elected Temporary Secretaries, and the motion prevailed unanimously. The usual committees on Permanent Organization, Credentials, and on Rules and Order of Business were appointed, the members from Ohio being, respectively, Valentine B. Horton, Samuel Stokely and Richard M. Corwine.

Some discussion arose as to whom the delegates should refer their credentials, whether to the Chairman of the Convention or to the Committee on Credentials. The latter was decided to be the proper reference, after a tilt between David K. Cartter and Horace Greeley. The former referred to Greeley as the gentleman from Oregon, or New York, I am not sure which," and the latter to Cartter as "the gentleman from Rhode Island, or Maryland, I am not particular which."
