Francis B. Carpenter, Six Months at the White House, Xl. (search)
Xl.
Among my visitors in the early part of May was the Hon. Mr. Alley, of Massachusetts, who gave me a deeply interesting inside glimpse of the Chicago Republican Convention in 1860.
The popular current had, at first, set very strongly in favor of Mr. Seward, who, many supposed, would be nominated almost by acclamation.
The evening before the balloting the excitement was at the highest pitch.
Mr. Lincoln was telegraphed at Springfield, that his chances with the Convention depended upon obtaining the votes of two delegations which were named in the despatch; and that, to secure this support, he must pledge himself, if elected, to give places in his Cabinet to the respective heads of those delegations.
A reply was immediately returned over the wires, characteristic of the man. It was to this effect:--
I authorize no bargains, and will be bound by none.
A. Lincoln.
It is unquestionable that the country was not prepared for the final action of this Convention.
