["The Congressional Convention (at Pekin) . . . passed off with great
concord and unanimity." Yates is nominated for Congress by
acclamation. Tazewell delegates are instructed for Lincoln but on
learning that he wishes his name withdrawn and that Sangamon
delegation is instructed for Yates, they vote with majority.
