PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1864. MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1864, THE GREAT SANITARY FAIR, THK CHY IS STILL THEY COME. THE SUCCESS ESTABLISHED. The Groat Central Fair was again crowded on Saturday, and every visitor who could approbate beauty, skill, and patriotism was dolightod aftd In structed. K may bo truly said, that where hundreds wero expected .thousands have responded, and thus ; the success Is more complete than its most sanguine; friends expected. In addition to the adult visitors, a number of the scholars of our public schools vlsltod the Fair on Saturday, In sections. Here was pre sented a viyid scene or tho happy hours of childhood, when thosun oflifo shone brightly in the morning of existence. Ho must havo lived in vain who could not look upon such a beautiful picture, at such a time, in such a place, without feeling a glow of gratification. The scholars, as a general thing, were exceedingly well-behaved. There was no rude ness manifested by any of ithetu,.which speaks well for the training they have received in our public schools. It was not surprising that In so largo a place as the Fair* buildings, with its rectangular, circular, and diagonal passage-ways, that children would got astray from thoir parents or guardians. It was, therefore, necessary to perfect the system of ar rangements, to make the comfort and happiness of the visitors, especially with children, more cdmpleto, to appropriate quarters for lostchildrcn. . Thbpolice office was at once selected as the most suitable quarters, being located near the centre door of exit on Eighteenth street, east end of Union avenue.

The loser is at a lo£s*io know whfcre to report tho missing article that perhaps be able to as certain its and the honest finder is in a like quandary tuiknow how to dispose of any thing he may have found: On every day and even ing since the opening; of the Fair I haveheaad several state the articles of value, and also of others who have fbund the; iiko, and were at a loss to know how to W”® of thorn,- Upon much consideration I thinfc‘it%ould in justice to the un fortunate loser bo proper for the committee to esta blish a “Xost and Found Department,” designated as such upon a! and have printed cards in the various; departmonts announcing, to persons. having lost , articles of any description to report said loss to the department, and all persons having found the like toplease return to the said department, the names of the loser and lost arti cle.to be entered in a book for.that jiurpose, a mode rate charge to be made for soloing, and on return of the article to the oguer, to charge a small re ward or fee. Such a department would undoubtedly meet with success and ;award satisfaction to the loser, finder, and committee. A I am, yours, respectfully, J. H. P.

Opinions of the Press on the Renoinina tion of Abraham Lincoln. From the Sun, - Independent. The Republican party being’: thus divided, the radicals having' chosen Fremont as their standard bearer, and “the unconditional*? men' Mr. Lincoln, the Democratic' party will unite upon some strong "candidate, and “charge updrihe enemy” with all the desperation of men determined to regain the power they possessed to departing from those principles of democracy over recognized os the basis of-pure Democratic faith. When the Northern Democrats refusal, to lagkmmn the “signs o£the times,” and the Southern slave holders to institution at variance -with the democratic doctrine of the “greatest good tojthe greatest number,'” IBSlr power begau to wane, untilfinally defeat has taught theta that the Ameri can people-will not give great principles for the sake of mere party. . ■ All tills is of the past. ' Thectoitl of a great majo rity of the Unionists,has.bgcn AedJtLandit saysr “Let us hafe Abraham Lincoln.as oar president for an other term!” We bow-to and ardent ly hope that the result may vindicate their sagacity .and prove our apprehensions unfounded. • As to the selection of Andrew Johnson for Vice President, it is, in many respects, a happy one. . The great Union party has made this re-nomina tion-not to vindicate or reward Abraham Lincoln; but because his first term.Ms' attested his. thorough devotion to the cause, ability to shape its policies wisely and. sue cess sdlyj has identified him completely, beforeVrcbeldm. and before the world as its foremost exp«i§eht; and because all changes of tried iOr untrieumeft;in a great national emergency, of necessity involve , more or less risk. ;inacrisis of tho most appalling magnitude,re quiring statesmanship of-the highest order, the country.is asked to con si dor: fb © claim sof two igno rant, boorish , third-rate, backwoods lawyers, for the highest stations in the Govempient, Such nomina tions, in such a conjunctur&j'^reJan*insult-to-the common sense of the/peopM “ God saye the Re public! x “ " i .i : The New Heralct. .

What Wendell Phillips radical faction will say to fhis-we think it wiifribtbe difficult to conjee-' ture. The developments of A-very fewdays, we ap prehend, from a popular.reaction among radicals and consenutives, war men and peacejmen, Repub licans and Democrats, against the corruptions, blun ders, and imbecilities of this- Administration, will showthat Honest Old Abe, even on his new platform, will have a very “ hard road to travel.” _ .New York Evening Post. * Hr/ Lincoln’s renomination. to : the Presidency by the Convention that has just closed-its labors at Baltimore was so universally expected that it takes nobody by surprise. Whatever may be said of- his character, or of bis administration of the Govern ment, it4s not to be denied that he enjoys the favor and confidence of the:people. ln their conviction of his complete integrity, of his homely good sense and honesty of purpose, they,overlook.*iis defects, they pardon his mistakes; they are-prone to forgive even his occasional lapses into serious and dangerous abuses oJumwer. It wouErbo easy to find among our distinguished men, they say, persons who are capable of a more comprehensive, consistent, and dignified statesman ship than Sir. Lincoln; there are those who possess more vigorous and rapid executive abilities; there are those who have a quickehporception.of tho real character and interests of the hour, A nobler ideal of its duties, a more refined discernment and a more heroic courage; and who more, truly, fulfil the old traditional notions or leadership among men; but there are few or none who reflect more elosely the average intelligence and average virtue of the Ame rican people, or who are likely to maintain a stric ter fidelity to the great general objects they have in view in the prosecution of this war* 123 The Convention did fchovwork'laid out for it. ■ * * ■*• There was a man once who was - so fre quently chosen to office by the Legislature of Con necticut, that it Is said the clerk o£ the House was accustomed to call the vote as'follows; “Gentlemen will please step up to the clerk’s desk and deposit their votes for Samuel Wyllls for Secretary of State.” The Baltimore Convention was managed in much the some way. - Mr. Lincoln, in effect,'has renominated himself. The Baltimore Oonventionwas:'but the engino he constructed and used to give publicity to - the fact. Tlic sublime impudence of ike man in thus thrust ing himself for re-eloction before a people that ut terly abhor and despise him; is in-strict accordance with his character and antecedents; Elevated to the Presidency by a politlcalMicoldent, he proposes hnow to retain Mb seat.by corruption . and violence. ; If the people, after their expression, permit it, they •will be deserved to be ruled by him. The popular-regard for- Mr. Lincoln is due, in great part, to his personal character, to his sincerity and honesty.. Ho is not a great man. ‘He has not the sagacity of the statesman.' as Com ffiander-in-uhief of the armieSkhaa provod unfortu nate : yet, with all these drawpack'spko has seemed so wiiling'to do just what the'bpuntry required of him, so steadfast, so honest ylias "provided 'so well against foreign war; has < endeavored so wisely to harmonize, the, North-.in the aspiration of the war 'party for National liberty, and £>f the other for tho conservation of vested rights, tpafc the people feel somehow that he is an eminently safe man to be {Charged with tlio conduct ol&ttflairftja-t a time when perhaps, areally more brilUffht and wiser statesman would be thrown off his balance.. v Of all the men * who have f filled the President’s office, ho is tho least capable, manly, practical, or consistent; and just when the highest qualltlosof statesmanship are required, his iriends. from a pure party and-selfish stand-point, have put him before the people-for ire-election. we know not what greater calamity God has in store for this tried and sulTerlng nation, but wo pray most fervently that this new cup of sorrow may pass - from it.r Surely thoro ; must bo thousands of .men. who support tho Administration because it is the Administration, who do not endorse Mr. Lincoln’s conduct and ca pacity. . The Baltimore platform is.an insult to the Ameri can people, to their intelligence, their liberty, and their dignlty-rbut the people’s reply to it will short ly bo uttered. . -- : The Convention has given us a strong ticket. The renomination of our present worthy President was a foregone conclusion, tho people'everywhere having long ago declared for him. llis honesty, his sagaci ty, bis firmness, his kindness of heart, his devotion to the Union, and his fidelity to Freedom kayo en deared his name to every lover of his country and overy foe to Rebellion and Rebellion’s cause. It. is not too rnuoh to Bay, that'Mr. Lincoln re nominated himsolf; not fay tlioacts of tho politician, the corrupt us© of power* or fay schemes of ambition, but solely fay proving true.to the country audio himself j not only fay serving'the nation faithfully and ably, but by easting behind him the opportuni ties which a fauu man might have improved to rise on the ruins of bis country: opportunities most favora ble for tln},ufrurs>or, anu fityorafaio for pro?

But these hasty judg ments were reversed, as time and events vindicated the wisdom of the President’s action; and while it may be that no two persons would agree in their es timates of every part of his career, the great majo rity now feel that upon the whole Abraham Lincoln is the wan for the time. - This Commercial Advertiser. .

Above* the clamors of faction, thojarrings of partisan strife, the noisy Intrigues of selfeonstitutcd leaders, the flercc criticisms or disappointed malcontents, and the heated denunciations of angry antagonists, the potent voice or the people has been heard, demand fng that the man who has so nobly administered the Government amid the terrors of a civil war sha.ll preside over the destinies of a reunited and regene rated republic. We have an abiding faith that how, as heretofore, that voice will bo obeyed.: . j The Philadelphia Bulletin. Mr. Lincoln has served the country faifchfally and well, through a period of trial more distressing than ever foil to the lot oi any President. He is fairly entltlcd to the reward of a second term, and the people arc determined to give it to him. The Boston Courier, Democrat. We do not wonder at their nomination of Abraham Lincoln. They were too cowardly to do otherwise; and positively he, take him as he is,“honest Abe.” who might have been honest enough as a rail-split ter, or m any appropriate sphere, but who has been the very typo of. anything but that as President of the United States, was their only resort. The Washington Republican. These candidates are placed upon a well defined platform of principles. It is progressive. Besides being thoroughly anti-slavery, it defines, in lan guage unmistakable; the * true sentiments of the American people, with regard to the aggressive po licy of European power upon 'this continent. In brief, the platform pronounces the eternal doom of human slavery in the United States, and points un erringly to the final establishment of Republican in- Ctitulions upon every inch of the American conti nent.

The nomination of Mr. Lincoln, by tlio National or Union partv, is the expression of the substantially unanimous voice of the entire people of the United States, so far sis they favor the preservation of the; Union and the suppression of the rebellion. Rebels will regret it. Traitors will ridicule it. Copper heads will oppose it. The people .will sustain it. The Pittsburg Dispatch- The Republican Union Convention, in nominating Abraham Lincoln for re-election, simply gave ex pression to that popular feeling which will certainly sweep the loyal States of the -North in his favor in the November, election. The Cincinnati Commercial. After the adoption of a platform, which will be found in our Associated Press despatches, President Lincoln was nominated for re-election. The Times, Bangor, Ste. There is no question for a moment that the sion orthe National Union Convention at Baltimore yesterday, renominating President Lincoln for an other term, is the simple reflex of the opinions and wishes of the great body of the loyal American pco >le. There Is no man in civil life in this country, o-day, who is so universally, a favorite with the masses, the “ plain people,” as “Honest Abe Lin coln.”’ ■ ■ ■ The Lewiston (BfoJ Journal. - The Union ticket agreed upon with such unanimi ty at Baltimore, promises to be one of the most pop ular ever before the people of this country. It is m fact a people’s ticket, for no one can have been- un observantof the fact that, the great mass of the common people of this country were calling for the renomination of Abraham Lincoln with a unanimi ty and a persistency which could not be ■ winked out ofsfght. The Erie (Pa.) Despatch. -The Baltimore Convention has done what it was apparent from the first that it would do, and what the sentiment of the people compelled it to do, in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for President. Any other course—even a postponement of action— would have been a violation of the popular will, which has at last put itself in advance of the schemes of politicians, and taken the nomination from their bands, That the people will bo faithful to the obligation thus assumed, we have the best reasons for believing. The Scranton (Pa.) Republican. Just as every loyal man at the North hoped and expected: feared—but an event which the “Radical Conven tion” at Cleveland hoped to prevent—Abraham Lincoln was unanimously declared by the delegates of the Union Convention at Baltimore on Wednes day the choice of the people of the loyal States for the next Presidency; ana, for Yice President, the Convention nominated that noble patriot,' Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. ' The Troy (N. Y.)Times. A change in the Chief Magistracy .would be Inju rious even if a better and-abler man could be chosen. But no matter how many other great and able men belong, to' the Union party, aha might be trusted with the helm of. State, there is no doubt that Mr, Lincoln is- of all our men the most popular, the most trusted, the most respected, the most beloved. ITbeTroy (N. Y.)Whig. We know of no public man who, in our opinion, would have come nearer to it than Mr. Lincoln has —and, considering the advantages oniis experience, we know of none who would be as likely to finish up the great work committed to his hands, in a manner to preserve the national life, and restore and re-in vigorate the national power. Wo say this in the full persuasion that the lessons of experience will not be lost on him, and that he will properly con sult and defer to that enlightened public opinion to Which he will owe his re-election. The Chester (P& ) Republican. We enter into the contest with tried aml approved men. and-the loyal people of the Union will ratify the choice of the Convention at the polls, in Novem ber next, by a majority unprecedented in the politi cal history of our country. . The Cincinnati Gazette. The hold which Mr. Lincoln has upon .the hearts of the jjeople is due to their belief in his sincere de termination to extinguish slavery. Although they may differ in opinion on the propriety and efficacy of his emancipation proclamation, and although they miay not see the results of that which appear, to him, yet the very radical extent of this measure, which at a word declared tlio abolition of slavery in ten States, is proof to the people of his purpose to destroy slavery by whatever means may be found necessary to accomplish that end. * ■ The Cleveland Leader. The. ticket nominated 'and the platform adopts! were both of the strongestand best material, and will command, the enthusiastic and whole-hearted support of every true and loyal citizen. For the manner in which the Convention has discharged the work entrusted to it; it deserves the thanks of the great Union party of the nation. The Chicago Times. The Convention had ceased to excite the public in terest long before it assembled. It ceased to excite the public Interest when the public became. Con scious tkat.it wouldbeapacked assemblage. What Interest could the public feel in it! It would be Mr. Lincoln’s automaton. He bad created it. It would be composed of Ms office-holders, his contractors, his dependants. It would simply meet to do that which he had appointed it to do. It would simply come together, register his decrees, and separate. Every body knew what those decrees were.. Everybody knew that he had decreed his own ronomination, and that the vote registering this decree would be a hol low form and mockery. \ The Toledo bove tells its own story. There was not a whisper, a hint,' an intimation, that Stephens’ er rand was one of peace. On the contrary, he pre cluded any such presumption by announcing him self as deputed by the Commander-in-chief of the Confederates to confer with the highest military authority.on our side. And his most extraordinary and utterly wanton demand to bo allowed to- take a Confederate gunboat around from -Richmond to ■Washington, instead of coming direct by land-, gave to Ids. demonstration the character of a military and naval rcconnoissanee rather than that of a .peaceful mission. We doubt that a hostilo gunboat was over permitted to make such a voyage. : And now will the Daily News— which often, with or without reason, assails our (not its) President •with charges of overstepping the constitutional limi tations ofhis powers—answer us this plain questionl What clause of our Federal Constitution authorizes the President to receive and treat with a deputation from any of our thirty-four Slates a-s the diplomatic envoys of an independent foreign power? ■The Malden Murder—tetter from Mrs. Green. The following is the letter which was addressed by Mrs. Green to the Governor, pleading for mercy to her husband, the convicted murderer Malden, .Tune 1,1864. Silt; I make no apology for bringing myself to your notice; there is none needed; but I come, a wife, begging the life of one dear to her, even her husband. . - I am aware, sir, of the position in which you stand ; aware what an important stepyou are about to take; important; as regards your position in the world where the cry is ever blood for blood. But they tell mo you are a Christian; and if so, I know your heart revolts at the idea of carrying out a law made by men whose religion rested only in their heads, and had not yet worked down to their hearts. / Oh, sir, I beg you to consider well before you take this terrible step.. Oh, sir, consider his former life. In the year that we lived together he was the kind est, best of husbands. Those who know him best will testify to his uniform kindness to all. In the posi tion which he occupied all liked him. Selfishness seemed to form no part ofhis disposition.. A happy, good-natured man, it washis joy to make inose around him happy.. : - . Sir.ifyou haa known him thus,"the conviction, woula have come to your heart, as it doe 3 to mine, that it must have been in a moment of insanity that he committed that terrible deed. Oh, Sir. our Father, who looksjnot on the outward deed but judgeth the inmost heart, alone knows what made him do it; but He, knowing that none but Himself may judge the heart of man, has com manded us, “ Judge not, lest ye bo judged.” Sir,- are they sure who cry so steadily for his blood what , their own spirit is 1 Arc they sure that they are not in their vindictiveness . worse than he? Christ says: “Ye have heard it said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill, but I say unto you, Whoso is angry with his brother without cause shall be In danger of the judgment.” Oh, sir, Is it not well to examine our own hearts before we so condemn others ? Oh, if this is so im portant a step to take before the wojid, how much more: so is it before our Heavenly Father? Sir, I pray you be merciful. ;Sir, If his heart was so wicked as some may be lieve, would not my heart turn against him? Sir, I- have. been brought up to abhor wickedness and crime in its gentlest phases. Could I, then* so love him, if Ms heart was so wicked ? Oh, I implore you to let your heart and conscience plead with your reason in this trial of your Christian love. ; Sir, consider—ia .this case not sent you by Our Father [as] atrial of your Christian faith, standing in the high place you occupy—opposed to the worldly policy which too often characterizes our appointed rulers 1 - Hark! the Great Judge of all speaking through -His Son, our elder brother: “ Blessed are the merci fuVfor they shall obtain mercy.” Sir,.with one last appeal to your heart for mercy, I am yours, Clara It.

I moan tho smoothness of their skin and its delicate coloring. It is owing* to the constant rise of Jaredte “Email de Paris. ss Per haps you don’t know what the Email de Paris Is 11t is not paint, not powder, not ointment, but a most delicious preparation tkatgivesboth. the complexion and texture of polished ivory to the skin. It is used here by every woman who can; afford it, from the Empress herself down to tho pretty gmnfidre, who smites at you and ogles you-over the counter as she tries,on your gloyes in the Rue de la Pals. The lo retteSj who, after all, are the originators of all the fashions here, use this universally, the famous Ri golboclie, it is said, being the first who brought it into general notice. Jules Jared himself Is a sort of’ magnanimous Quasimodo, ugly and deformed, but with, a rare love of the beautiful, since he has mar ried a beautiful; wife, and given to humanity the Email do Paris. Jules bas made a fortune with the Email, and lives in a cb arming cottage omie (as the French call a villa) at’Sleudoh, receiving numerous friends (of his wife’s) and innumerable agents ofthe “Email de Paris” from all parts of the world. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Subscriptions to the ten-foriy loan were comparatively small last week, and it is not. expected that the loan will be so freely taken until after the proposed sale of bonds is made,though it is quite probable that investors who may be successful bidders for the ISSI loan will do relatlvely.no better*.even if as well, as to subscribe for the ten* forties at par. The loans of the Government are undoubtedly the best form of investment, for the people’s money, and that the people so. regard it is shown by the eager subscriptions to every loan yet au thorized by Congress. There have been, .from time to time, reports circulated in commercial journals that Secretary Chase was considering proposals from foreign capitalists to take our loans. The foreign capitalists hare not yet come'forward,.nor should we be particularly anxious that they should. We can get along \jvithbnt their assistance. The past three years-proves this. At no period in our national struggle havo the people ofthe North shown a disposition to withhold their pecuniary means from the Government. In the gloomiest inter vals of the war, in the midst of disaster, and defeat the national treasury has been kept full aad flowing. Our soldiers have been paid; the vast expenses of the Go vernment promptly met, and a. readiness shown by all classes in subscribing to the popular loans that is unpre cedented in history. The national currency and the na tional bonds have been interwoven into the financial and social system in a way that cannot be overthrown, and so regulated as to excite the admiration of friend and foe. We have never urged the taking of the Govern ment loans on the ground of patriotism. That they hare not been taken on that ground ia shown by the fact that the Southern sympathizers are in many cases very large holders. 1 Our greenback currency oven in the South is at a largo premium, and though the authorities may in terdict its circulation, the people show, by their desire to obtain it, its great value as compared with their own. depreciated paper. . ~ «\ Gold had quite a serious tumble on Saturday.
