we have arrived at the very brink of that abyss which the Defender of the Constitution prayed he might never behold,—the abyss of disunion, when States have been torn asunder, and the land drenched with fraternal blood.

ce down to Jan. 1, 1865; the eventful year in which the Rebellion was conquered, and victory rested upon our standards. The year 1864 was the presidential year. A Republican National Convention was held in the city of Baltimore, at which Abraham Lincoln was nominated for re-election for President of the United States, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, was nominated for Vice-President. The convention was composed of the leading men of the party,—men who had, from the beginning of the Rebell H. Sidney Everett, of Boston, assistant adjutant-general, with the rank of major, Dec. 30.
