We place at the head of our columns, this

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

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. It is

to be the next President of the United States. '
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 ibe<r respective claims for
i the honor of a nomination for the Presidency,
there was not even a momentary hesitation oa
the part of any one to accept fully and cordial
ly the candidate upon whom the choice of the
; majority of the Convention ultimately fell. —
: Mr. Seward's friends, including the entire N.
i York delegation, submitted to their disappoiut
' meat with a grace and cheerfulness that will
j always be pleasantly remembered by the Rc
| publioau party.
| Indeed the evidenosa of this disposition are
j already apparent, and it is remarkable that the
i only persons who seem to be aggrieved at Mr.
Seward's having been passed over by the Con
vention, are tboee who up to yesterday could
see no good iu the distinguished Senator, whose
character they have ever bitterly assailed, and
| a hose abilities as a sukauiau they have syste
j uuiicaily derided. These persons uow sud*
denly di -over that Wei. H. Sewarf) is a great
I mau, a thorough .statesman, unexceptionable in
i character and transcendent in ability, and that
1 justice to his talents and position required that
! he should be nominated at Chicago ; and they
proportionately deary the man who is norni
! nated, and confidently predict that the Repub
, iieau party Will go to ruin, because iu this con
test it has net cuosen Mr. Seward for its stand
| ard bearer. It is scarcely necessary to say
: that this is tolerably conclusive evideuoe of the
wisdom of the Chicago Convention's choice,
aud a virtual admission that uiaay of the shafts
; '.bat the Democracy Lave so persistently level
ed at Mr. Seward are not likely to prove
i available w -ape as agaiust Mr. Lincoln.
; And yet in some respects Abrain Lincoln is
is truly art. re.-eutuiivp uuu as Wm. H. Sew
ir-J. la some features they arc identical.—
They were both formerly old line Whigs, they
j both at an early day of its existence joined the
! Republican party, and they both have highly
j distinguished themselves as its advocates and
1 defenders. Iu these reanect3 they stand about
| cqUii, uuJ Mr. Lincoln has been preferred, not
r r-Oiw. tiemmrd's- i-rrwrfii anything,
! any more than he is bis inferior—not because
| he is any more or less truly and ardently a Re
• publican—bat because it became apparent,
.ihea the delegates earns together and compared
j notes, that there were states which it was doubt-
I ful whether Mr seward could carry, but which
|.l .s morally certain wiil cast their vote for
| Mr. Lincoln—the two important i.-cate* ot
| lUieols and Pennsylvania being amoug tbem.
From the Rochester Democrat.
We have us doubt that, in the minds of those
who voted for Mr. Lincoln, there were control
ling reasons for preferring him even to the peer
less statesman of New Fork. We respect their
judgmeut, aud bow to it without a murmur.—
We believe it will evoke an enthusiasm in the
West unequaled by anytLiug iu our political
annals since 1840; Despite the disappoint
ment here, there was an instant response to the
nomination. A large flag, hearing upon it the
name of our chosen leader, was suspended from
The Democrat and Jimet tear* building to the
Arcade; a band of music paraded the streets,
aui a salute of 100 guns was fired. The nom
ination will be supported with enthusiasm, and
the mere Abram Lincoln becomes kuown to ths
American people, the more overwhelming will
be .he enthusiasm which, we believe, will cer
tainly swell until the ballot-boxes declare him
the next President of the United States.
From the Rochester [J\l. Y.) Express.
Strongly as the hearts of tho people of the
Empire State were attached to their favorite
statesman, and earnestly as they desired his
nomination, they aie too firmly founded in Re
publican principles to.ruse sight of ttieiu in their
admiration for a man, even thougn that man
uiiy be their very emooUiment. Submitting
his ciaiai3 to the Representatives of the party,
they abide tho decision without wavenag, it
not with cheerfulness.
We are satisfied that the Convention Lave
presented to the people o! tho Uuiun, candi
dates who combine, IU a very high degree tue
qualities and elements which insure success in
the pending campaign.

From the Buff alo Express
Next to VVui. U. Seward, we believe that no
man before the (Jouveution could have been
chosen so generally satisfactory to the Repub
licans of tnis State as Abraui Lincoiu. Indeed,
the fact of bis nomination by a body so unques
tionably representee of the popular seutnnjut
of the party ia various sections of toe country,
is conclusive evidence that he generally umted
the second pteferencea of those States in whion
Le did not possess the first. To our tnind it
has been for some time clear that W. H. Sew
ard did not become the notuiDee of the Hepub

be him whom we now announce; and entertain
ing that opiuioo, we have been prepared to
pledge him our heartiest and most jealous sup
port.
From the JVew Haven Palladium.

F/om the Hartford Courrant.
"Abe Lincoln," combining the intellectual
power of a giant with the simple habits of a
back woods farmer; the genuine whole-souled
mauliaeis of a Kentucky-bom, Western-raised,
seif-o iueateu, and self-made man, will be hug
ged to the people's hearts like a second Andrew
Jackson. He has the magnetism ot genius in
him, Lis me in is genial and dignified; hie wit is
natural aud unaffected, and ha tiiops in the most
casual way some of tho most terse and epigram
matic expressions that ever fell from human
lips, lie reasons in a broad, caodiJ, aud sim
ple way that wins irresistibly. The speech he
made in the City Hall in this city, last March,
was thea pronouuceil the most convincing Re
publican speech ever made iu this city. It was
a mast manly specimen of logical treatment of
a great subject Mr. Lincoln delighted all who
heard him, and he fascinated ail who conversed
with him.
From the Norwich {Conn.) Bulletin.
It would be superfluous iu us to speak in
praise of the nominees of ;be Chicago Conven
tion. Lincoln and Hamlin are known and ad
mired. As the Republican banner is unfurled
to the breeze, with their names inscribed upon
its tuMs, the people will flick to eolist under it
in such numbers as to reader victory sure.
From the Worcester Spy.
Let it he remembered, with devout and fer
vent gratitude, that uur candidate for the Pres
idency succeeded io ..n honorable and manly
contest by no aiu'al and industrious manage
ment, but through she profound conviction that
Ms name would reconcile ail differences, and
be the sigu ot certain aad glorious triumph.—
In his personal history, in the record of his
public life, in the principles which he has cour
ageously avowed and maintained, there is noth
ing unworthy of the distinguished position to
which be has been caiied.
From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
It is impossible to deny that the nomination
is one which has peculiar elements of strength,
such as, we must believe, justify the aesioo of
the Convention. Mr. Lincoln is a man of great
enthusiasm, vigor and warmth of temperament,
• f great popularity, a thorough representative
of Western life, formerly a Whig, nd now an
ardeut Republican; in short, he is a man who
is especially suited tp rouse the West, while
his known views inspire confidence, where his
pers inal qualities have less immediate influ
ence.
Flora the Boston Journal.
The ticket is fortunate iu the personal char
acter of both of its members, iu t'ueir oiverse
political trainings, iu their representative capa
cities as Republicans, in their local sources of
strength as well as in the sections fiom which
their nomination has been secured, and iu tbc
absence of aii those rcpeileut qualities which
might have made impossible the uow nearly
certain combination of all the Anti- Democratic
elements of ihe eouutry, to work for one com
mon and glorious victory.
The times are ripe for the overthrow of the
Democratic party, which, after having outlived
its principles, has now sundered its organiza
tion. The semblance of unioo wiil doubtless
be made-, but fair-minded men have generally
conceded cf iaie, that if the Republicans should
be so fortunate in their candidates as to repel
none of the elements which would naturally
rally to their support, their success in Novem
ber must be cunsiuered as sure. That good for
tune is theirs.
From the Boston Atlas and Bee.
In his origia among the people of the great
West, ia the rnuuuer iu which he has carved his
own fortune aud risen to eminence without the
adventitious aids of wealth and early opportu
nities for culture, iu the honest and purity of
his private aud public life, ia the simplicity and
unaffected sincerity of his mauacrs, and in the
intelligence, liberality, scope, and elevation of
nis views upon public questions, Mr. Lincoln is
ui! that could be desired as a standard-bearer
of the great and glorious bost whose suffrages
ho will receive ia November. In the Presiden
tial chair (for il circumstances poiut so deci

There is every reason to believe that the se

The West will rally for Lincoln and Victory,

him who carried the popular majority of Illi

have been its Senator iu Congress, but for the

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

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

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

therefore take care to tu*ke his election suro.
Wherever the news was received it was cele

From ike Philadelphia Inquirer.
As a lawyer, Lincoln ranks with the toremost

methodical. His forensic efforts, however, aie
mere remarkable for strong good sense, and
sturdy, vigorous expression, than for elegance

When addressing a popular assemblage, Mr.

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

his success over the other more prominent can

The Fates had decreed otherwise, and she bows

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

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

passionate devotion to principles, and, iu can
vassing the State of liliuois against Douglas in

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. The Pills are sent by
mail free of postage to any part of lite world.—

NATURE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
This now admitted bv the medical profession, as a
fundamental principle of healing science.' It ie
wisely provided by the human economy, that when
ever anything is wrong in the physical system, tins
natural forces of the body are brought to bear to
expel the disease. The great aim. therefore, is to
strengthen the natural powers, 't'his has been kept
in view bv the skiiiful compounders of DR. J.
nOSTETTER'S BITTER'S, which operate to give
fresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The
etlect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys, are prompt and decisive. The
patient who is wise enough to quit drugging, and
try the BITTXRS, soon feels as if he had token a new
lease of lite, and as ho continues the use of tins
article, he is overjoyed to find the streams of beate
coursing through his frame. Let ail from whose
cheek the bloom has departed, give Dr. J. Hostet
ter's Celebrated Bitters a trial.
Sold by druggists and dealers generally, every
