Tbey will command the united sup port of all who cherish a devotion to tie prin ciples of the Republican party. It would bo idle to attempt to disguise tho disappointment which the people of this State feel at the failure at the Chicago Convention to place in nomination for President tho candidate of their own State. Rut there can be no doubt that the nomination which was made is regard ed as the very next choice of the Republicans of New York. No other man, beside their own favorite, so well represents tbo party iu the great struggle now going on is Abrain Lincoln. From the Auburn Daily Union, May 18. Much as we have des.reti the nomination of Mr. Seward, we are constrained to say, if we cannot be gratified in this, we are entirely sat isfied with the nominee, and shall go into tho canvass with the utmost confidence of hia elec tion.

With united effort, and undivided zeal, the election of the Illinois "rail candidate" will be certain. Frum the -V Y. Evening Past. Many persons will not nod meir tirst choice realized iu the nomination nf Mr. Lincoln of Illinois, as the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Both iu this, and ill other Suits, Mr. Seward had powerful supporters, attached to Lim by sentiments of gratitude for bis public services, respect for his persona! character, and admiration for his talents, and these sentiments were strengthened by the constant attacks made upon him by Lis political enemies, as the Representative or the Republican party; lite very ilea of a nominating Uonventioo, however Unplies that there is somebody to ho disappointed. 1 here are always rivals for its favor, backed by zealous f .ends, and the very purpose of the convection is to disappoint them all bat one. In tho present case we Lave reasou to rejoice that a candidate is died upon who has so many recommendations as Abrarn Liuooin, whose character embraces so many excellent qualities, and whose personal history gives h.in so stroug a tit-id on tire good will of the people. Mr. Lincoln was not unexpectedly brought forward and thrust upon Convention, as more than one of the candidates of the Democratic party of iate have been. He came before that body backed bj a strong and en thusiastic party at the Westbo was known in his own State by the usefulness and beneficence of bis daily life, and out of his State as cue who bad done able service in the cause of the Republican party. The zoni with which ha was supported induced the Convention to ex amine hie claims, and the majorty came to the conclusion that he possessed the qualities to Command the popular good will, and carry the oouutry against the Democratic candidate.— That they are not far wrong in this conclusion, we thiDk the event will prove. There are many points in his character fitted to call forth the enthusiasm of his party, and to unite upon him the support of that numerous c.ass who float loosely between the two parties, and are found sometimes on one side and sometimes on the dtber, as the popular qualities of onecaudidate or another attract their suffrages. Tho zeal which the nomination has already awakened has, we eoufess, somewhat surprised us. The Convention could have made no choice, we think, which, along with so many deuioustra tions of ariont approval, would have beeu met with so few expressions of dissatisfaction. So far as we oan judge, the so-called Demo cratic party regards Mr. Lincoln as a candidate whom it will be hard to beat. His chance of carrying Illinois against Douglas, wo believe, they regard aa more than even, and in this tbey make no mistake. They begin, in this quarter at least, to talk of abandouiog Douglas us a candidate, and letting Lincoln sweep Illinois without opposition, take up Gov. Seymour, aod make a stand for New-Fork. We are content, for our own part, with that arrangement, or with any other they choose to make, if they thick that Mr. Lincoln will not be sup ported in this State with euthusiasm, if they think that the flame of that zeal which blazes everywhere else in the Free States will not kindle the hearts of the people of New-Fork, are willing to leave them to their error till they are undeceived by the elections.

' From theN. Y? Commercial Advertiser The same conservative feeling that was made apparent in the Chicago platform has culminate i in the Chicago nominations for President and Vice-President—Abram Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin ; and it is gratifying to record that, warmly and earnestly as the friends of other gentlemen pressed ibemd uprightness, and administer It with the plain honesty wiiich Gen. Taylor brought to the White House and the Cabinet, and with tuc Roman firmness of Aa drew Jacks'^. New England salutes to-day iho son and champiou ot the West, and the future Presi dent of the Republic! All hail to Abe Lincoln cf Illinois! trom the Concord (-V. H.) Statesman. There is every reason to believe that the se lection 'is tha best that, under all the circum stances, could be made. ThvtsauJidate is well located, and has acquired no mean celebrity as a hold and determined Republican orator, and a ust friend of the Constitution and the Uuion. The West will rally for Lincoln and Victory, a they would have done perhaps for to other fiiudidate before the Convention. The North ern States wiil roll up triuuipoant majorities for him who carried the popular majority of Illi nois agiinst Dongias ia 1858, and would now have been its Senator iu Congress, but for the unequjl division of the State into Representa tive Districts; and the Middle States will give the votes which are to make Abraui Lincoln the next President of the United States. From the Providence Journal. Of course, where tfaer - were so many uarnes before the (Jonventio r the friends of many prominent men must suffer a temporary disap pointment. Mr. Lincoln's nomination will, we suppose, be especially strong in the West.— lie showed in his celebrated coutast with Mr. Douglas, that he had great power with the musses. The people have great confidence in his unquestioned iutegrity, in his devotion to the Republican cause, in bis sterling good sense, and in his maDly perseverance, which has enabled him to overcome all obstacles in his w<\y, and hew out for himself the path to eminence aiid usefulness. From the Newark Mercury. Of Mr. Lincoln, whose name henceforth will he the watchword of an unnumbered Lost, it is not necessary that we should speak at length. He belongs to the country, and his life and principles alike challenge the closest scrutiny, being without spot and blameless. His deeds —deeds in behalf of the Rights of MaD,of Free Labor, of Free Speech and, Free Soil—these form his best panegyric, aod best present his right to popular support. In all the Union • here is no purer patriot—no man of broader views or greater mental siaiure than Mr. Lin coln. No man has more abiy aad successfully expounded the principles of Republicanism, or more gallantly sustaiued the cause of the people against the despotism of a sectional iu lerBt. From the .\ewark Daily Advertiser. Mr. Lincoln deserves an l wi.l have the sup port of the common people, for he is one of thciu. Horn and bred in poverty, he bad no tine for the education of the seboois. What he possesses he has got by hard kaociu, as he iiss bis position in society, by untiring self cuitivdtiou, industry, and effort. He is one of Senator Hammond's mud sills, improved ia ded into a strcug loDic pillar in the State. .Mr, Lincoln has strong claims to the support not only of tbo Republicans, but Americans, Union men, and Democrats everywhere. liis personal history and rise are so extraordinary ; and even roniautis us must touch the hearts of the * rcat truss of the people. They must lov t tie manliness that has thus won its way aiaiJ j discouragement, want of early advantages, and ; want of patronage. They, indeed, are toe lot jof thousands; but who like him have over | oo- e the>i blighting power ! VhaL he is a conservative aiid s fe man.— Whatever he does is judicious and marked with filling common sense—a suoueh friend of our institutions, tue Constitution and the Uoiou ; with hioi at the helui, the country can have HO fear either of external euetnies, or of the more dat gtrous domestic ones, who, whiie pretending to friendly, are plotting ail the whiis fr disunion and dismemberment. So conspicuous is tie character of our nominee for the prudent tmd patriotic constitutes that uistiagnished the forth* acquiescence ot Messrs. lfell and hlrer ett in the nomination ot Mr. Lincoln. Certain it is that it has iu the general opinion taken tongue out of the Union party, so (hat it can not bo longer souuded to auy purpose. The nomination of this eloquent slid popu lar unu has taken politicians by surprise. It crossed the wishes and efforts ar.d contradicted tae predictions of some ot the most managing and skillful ia such things. The people may he said to have made it themselves, and wid therefore take care to tu*ke his election suro. Wherever the news was received it was cele brated with real enthusiasm. This city was a scene of tumultuous jubilation. From ike Philadelphia Inquirer. As a lawyer, Lincoln ranks with the toremost at the bar of Illinois, lieiog aui .a of clear head, his treatment of his subject is lucid and methodical. His forensic efforts, however, aie mere remarkable for strong good sense, and sturdy, vigorous expression, than for elegance of style, which, indeed, he never aim- at. — When addressing a popular assemblage, Mr. Lincoln indulges in quaint home thrusts and buuierous remarks, and hiving extraordinary mobility of features, bis play of countenance gives a poiDt to his illustrations they wouiu not otherwise have. Ho basconsiderable force snl influence as a popular speaker. Iu person, Mr. Lincoln is tall, square built, and auguiar.— ilis manners, plain and homely, aDd his general appearanco that of a substantial, well-to-do backwoodsman. Altogether, be is a true type of the sturdy pioneers who settled the Western wilderness, and made it blossom like a rose. From the Pittsburg Journal. Mr. Lincoln will be elected by the people by a very decided vote. Ho is the idol of the Northwest, and will uowhere encounter arty prejudice. He has more good points and fewer objectiouable ones than any of the prominent candidates. This was, no doubt, the secret of his success over the other more prominent can didates. From Ms Detroit Daily Advertiser. The heart of Michigan was set on her be ioveu Seward, and she had warmly hoped and S. rnly expected that- he would be the choice. — The Fates had decreed otherwise, and she bows to tbeir behest, for she is pledged to gre .t prin ciples only. Whoever may justly represent them is eminently worthy of her suffrage, and that suffrage she will grant at the November election with such an overwhelming majority as will make it a mutter of great doubt whether aoy other than a Republican nominee vras in .he Held at all. OPINIONS OF DEMOCRATIC JOUR NALS. From the Journal of Commerce. While we have no desire to detract from Mr. Lincoln's position as a respectable citizen of Illinois, wo are not aware that ho possesses, in any considerable degree, the qualifications de manded tor so elcvaied a posttiou as that ot Chief Magistrate of the United States. Prob aO'y an attempt will bo made to raise a fac tious issue, to preseut him as "bouest Abe Lincoln," uomiuated in the Wigwam, thu can didate who oau "split rails and maul the I)eui ccrats." There will be a great excitement throughout the land, and "Wigwams" wilt be built uow, as log cabins were in 1840; the pas sions instead of ihe juagmeut of the people will be appealed to, aud tho attention of the public diverted, as far as possible, from the rsal issues before country. From the Day Book. The nomination ot Lincoln at Chicago is a formidable one, pvobably tnore so than would be that of any other man who has been na med in connection with it. From the .V". Y. Sunday Times. The Democratic Convention to be held at Baltimore will probably present us with the name of Douglas, and the seceding Southern States with a uame more immediately identi fied with their own feelings and interests. In view of such an event, it would not he too much to predict that Abrain Lincoln would ba our next President. If the Democratic party of the North and South continue iu its preseut disposition to separate, it can rationally ex pect no other result. "Divide and eonquor" is an old maxim under which its opponents have wrested more than one victory from the Democratic majority, and they arc keenly alive to its applicability on tho present occasion.— in Mr. Lincoln they have presented a gentle man who wiil vory nearly poll every vote of the Republican party aud the greater portion of that of the Eastern Abolitionists. With Dotigias against him, be would enjoy a fair opportunity to carry Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He would certainly carry New York. How much would he, then, fall short of an election? It follows, if we are correct in our premi ses, that the result of the uext Presidential election depends entirely upon the course of the June Baltimore Convention. 1; the North and South can unite upon a popular aniaiuee at thai Convention, be Will be elected. If they cannot, both North and South may count upon contemplating Abram Lincoln a the next oc cupant of the White House. From Press (Douglas organ.) Ii is now quite certain that it Mr. Douglas be rejected by tbo Rem • jratio U*.invention at Baltimore, Mr. Liucoln will sweep lmn >A, ia i* doubled that a ktfgo 1 majority of the delegates froau the South refu sed to accede, aod will sustain Mr. Duugla, if nominated. From the Boston Herald (Douglas.) i he nouiiuatiou, iu many req ecu. is a strong one, and wiil be difficult to defeat; and those who flitter themselves that the Democrats are to walk over the Presidential course wiih ease, wiil find themselves ui;>;ak-u. The Conven tion at Chicago has given evidence of shrewd nee.-, no less in the nomination of Mr. Lincoln than tit the platform adopted, which is progres sive without being ultra; and, uulcss it is met by a platform equally plain and intelligible, it wiil require no prophet to interpret the hand writing on the wail. From the Rochester '.V. Y.) Advertiser. Lincoln is a candidate not to be despised.— lie i a man of fair talents, a seii-ursie man, a tall, swarthy, rather eadaverous-iooking Kcu tuckian, a good stump talker, and posseses the qualities which make men popular with "the hoys." From the Buffalo Daily Courier. He is a m.n of nerve, independence, and perseverance, but is lacking in culture, and in uiany other qauiijics that do most adorn the occupant of the Presidential chair. OPINIONS OF NEUTRAL JOURNALS. Fiom the Boston Transcript. lie is probably more likely to carry what the Republicans call the "doubtful States," than many others who are better known in these States, in regard to his mind and character, he seems to combine iu a raro degree shrewd ness with enthusiasm, piaetical sagacity with passionate devotion to principles, and, iu can vassing the State of liliuois against Douglas in 185S, he proved also that he was one of those sturdy workers who can "toil terribly." No public man of his party has a quicker, more instinctive perception of popular feelings una modes of thinking, greater facility ia connecting his own opinions with those which obtain among the mass of voters, and a more insinuating, way of proving to the people that he "is cue of theru." From the Boston Traveler. Mr. Lincoln is weli known to be a mau of chivalrous coinage, and frank and opeu as ligbt itself, qualities that eve- tell with the people. Visiting louag Ladies. We commend the following article, which we clip from a late number of the Delaware Coun ty Republican , aud commend it not only to tha attention of parents, but to the young mea of our country. It is the production of a lady, and is written to correct an evil which unfor tunately prevails to too great an extent at tbo presout day. The WTiter says: "The too common practice which many young uieu are in, of visiting, consecutively, for a length of time, young ladies of tuoir acquaint ance, without Luakiug known their iutentioas in so doing—accompanying tuem to lectures and places of amusement —wherever ibey go to be at their elbow—not only giving the individuals themselves reasou to believe there is meaning io these attentions, but giving to tba world ami 'busy gossip' the license to connect Dames which ofteu make it unpleasant for both parties —is a practice which cannot ho too strongiy reprobv ted. Far be from tae to advise any too lustily to impart that by lauguage which the heart must feel, aud should ever seek divine guidance to di rect —I oiean tha gushing forth of that affection VOL. 33, NO. 22. t that /oec,which a benifieeut Father Las implanted 1 in the heirts of HU children towards congenial ; spirits—far to it from ice to curtail the ration al, social enjoyments of the youug, and far from me is the view that every young gentle man who visits at a house desires to be a suitor, or has any idea of the kind; hut I think the kind of visiting 1 allude to will be understood. ; When a young man whose morals are good, whose character is unexceptional, whose intel lectual powers are a passport to society, really feels himself interested in one of his female ac quaiulauce*, worthy, in every way, for his ea tcrn, and if, in Lis own heart, he is sensible sue is essential to his happiness, is it just, is it i inaniy, is it honorable, that months and years should pass away without this confession being made? Universal custom has given to man the privilege of first imparting his love to the ob ject of bis choice; but is it right that he should secure her affection.-, by his uowcartied atten tions, thereby clouding her judgment, era he does this? He may nut be in circumstances, ' or prepared to cuter the married state, but let hiui act with dignity and bourn: where the hearts . best affecti..us are concerned. Those who would ! persevere in these attentions merely fer tfeepur • pose of trifling with the female heart wiii, : n due time, resp the harvest of sorrow they have i sown for themselves. I aui not personal in my I remarks, neither am lan 'mid uaid, : ' as at any iof your readers may- sneeiingly suggest. I j have enjoyed many years of domestic happiness ! in married lift; but I have marked, in my path way, the bligh-ed affection# of many a young i heart left to pursue life's journey, because ho I who had done everything to gain that heart, j and years, perhaps, of intimate friendship ta-y ] have passed, felt tb.t le was not responsible, j because h bad not in words declared what Lis i actions manifested."

L4EASON AND COSDION SENSE. Our readers raaj" remember we have on several occasions spoken in very eulogistic terms of a preparation which Dr. Reth S. Hance, of 108 Bal timore street, Baltimore, Md.. Las discovered tor the cure of Epileptic Fits. Now, in doing so, we have been actuated by the very best motives, viz : the alleviation of human sutFering. From circum stances which have lately come to our' knowledge, we fear there is a certain class of persona who are not disposed to try this iemedy in a common sense manner. VTu allude to the fact of selecting a par ticular case in a town where perhaps there are six or eight cases, and trying it on one ease. Now, perhaps the case selected might be the only one of the whole number that it would not cure. This is neither doing themselves nor the medicine justice. If a dozen [MTSOUS were stricken down with cholera in one town or neighborhood, would they all send for a physician, or would only one employ him, and wait and see if he cured the first patient! Th plan of procedure would be most absurd. So in the case of Dr. Hance's remedy, every one who has Fits should try it for a reasonable length of time. It wilt not cure in a day or week; nothiug worth doing can be accomplished at once. W bat is easiiy done, is as easily undone. The growth of time is enduring. From the most respectable testimony wo have examined, we feel assured that by a proper perseverance in this remedy, nine cases of Epilepsy out of ten may be cured.
