It was generally con- sidered @ foregone copclusion that the ticket would em- brace the mame of Governor Jobuson, it being pretty generally known thet groat efforts bad been and were being made by hinfriends to secure bim the nomination. ‘The announcement or his success, there‘ore, was received as @ matter of eourse, and no particular demonstration was made tm public unti! this evening.

The representatives of all the States in thit convention bad declared in his nomination that they did not recognize that ove State could withdraw or secede from the United States. In other words, which tho Governor’s modesty forbade him to declare, he repre- sented that principle, and that it bad secured bim the pomination. He had held that doctrine from the first, and now the nation’s representattves had in convention assembled declared with him that no State could secede, and, in going imto a State which had rebelled to select a cundidate Vice pever aright to secede They had acted as tho’repre- sentatives, not ofStates, but of the whole government, and recognized no rightof a part todismember tho whole, BE sCc8i1S THR NOMINATION, S80 far. ashe was concerned, he declared he bad not sought the hovor which, bad just been conferred upom, No man -oould bonest!y say that Andrew Johnson ver electioneered with him to obtain his influence to secure power and piice. On the contrary he bad felt ‘hat he bad bigher duties to perform than thoze of More aspirant for office. And having been thus oon- fecred, unsought and unasked, he appreciated the honor that much higher; ‘and,’ be addod, raising his voice, “Yghall not decline it.

There also existed in the State another class ‘whore respect Le commanded, and he was proud to gay that that class, antagonistic to the aristocracy, were for a free government, in which merit nor wealth would const$ tutawortb, A large proportion of one of the elements of the rebellion were the aristocrats who were op) toa government in which they wore ruled by aman who hid Tigen among the humbie olass of tke peonle.
