FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois. • FOR VICE FKSIDENT, HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of Maine. FOR GOVERNOR, AND'W G. CURTIN, of Centre Co. R HE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. The Republican Convention which assembl ed at Chicago has preformed its work and ad journed. The fears of thousands of anxious j hearts have been put at rest, by the eminently | patriotic and prudent course of the delegates! there assembled. The nomination of LINCOLN | and HAMIIN has aroused the popular euthusi-! asm of the country, and excited in every breast! the strongest hopes of success. Mr. Lincoln is a man of great enthusiasm, { vigor and warmth of temperament, of great poj nlarity, a thorough representative of West ern life, formerly a Whig, and now an ardent Republican ; in short, he is a man who is es pecially suited to rouse the West, while his known views inspire confidence, where his per sonal qualities have less immediate influence.— He was opposed to Mr. Douglas as a candidate lor the-United States Senate in ISSB, and although he tlieu lost the State Legislature, he still secured a majority of the popular vote against the strongest possible Democratic can didate in Illinois. In Illinois and Indiana,two among the four leading States usually classed as doubtful, Mr. Lincoln is, beyond doubt, a strong candidate, and it was, no doubt, with a view to securing these important States that the Convention, after full deliberation, con cluded to act. The nomination of Senator Hannibal Hamlin of Maine, for the Vice Presidency, will be hailed with delight by every friend of Repub lican principles. No truer representative of the fundamental ideas of our organization can be found anywhere. Elected to the Senate originally as a Democrat, he in 1855 abandon ' 1 the party which devotes iis strength solely the perpetuation of Slavery, and since that date has acted firmly with the Republicans in policy and principle. As their candidate for Governor, he swept the State by an unpreced ented majority, and he still retains the con fidence of his State and party. His name wiil prove a tower of strength in the contest now inaugurated. —We have ouly space to say that the nom inations are everywhere hailed with the great est enthusiasm as the best and strongest that could have been made. —We have given up our paper to the pro c.eJings of the Convention, as we desired to give a full abstract. WIPE A WAKES. —The Republican Young Men of this borough, met iu Mercur's Hall, on Tuesday evening last, and organized the " Republican Wide Awakes of Towanda Bo rough." Bye-Laws were adopted, aud the fol lowing officers chosen : Captain —HENßY L. ADAMS. Assistant —THE RON HATVAKD. , Treasurer —J. DK I,A MONT AN YE. Secretary— J. V. GIEOER. Executive Committee —HENKY BASSETT, IV. T. DAVIS, JAKE C'CLF, 8. W. ALVOKD, \V. 11. H. GORE. Addresses were made by U. MERCUR and Col. E. SMITH, and the Association adjourned with hearty cheers for the ticket. teg-The Republicans of Washington held 1 an enthusiastic ratification meeting on Saturd day evening, which was addressed by Mi*. Hamlin, who gracefully accepted the nomina tion teudered him by the Chicago Convention, and by other gentlemen, who pledged their several States for large majorities for the Re publican ticket. The harmony of 'the occasion was interrupted for a few moments by the dis graceful behavior of a mob, instigated and headed, it is said, by the son of an officeholder. Tliis demonstration of the rowdy element in the Federal Capital was met, however, with proper spirit by the Republicans, and speedily quelled. It amouuted to nothing more than a proof of the rage with which the tools of Dem ocratic corruption anticipate the incoming of a new order of things. JttaT- The prospects for good crops of grass and winter grain in the county, is flattering, as we learn from an occasional correspondent who jias visited several of the townships dur ing the last week. There is also, to all ap pearance, reason to hope that the fruit crop will be abundant, except peaeheg. The trees are literally loaded with blossoms. The green grass and grain, the white aud purple blossoms of the fruit trees seen in contrast with the brown earth of the newly ploughed fields, gives the valleys and hill sides ef our county a most beautiful appearance. FROCEEDIISrGS (V THE REPUBLICtH CONVENTION, HELD AT Chicago, May 10, 17, and IS, ISOO. CHICAGO, Wednesday, May 16,1860. The Republican National Convention as sembled to-day at the " Wigwam." The doors were opened at 11 o'clock. Long before that hour the concourse of peo ple assembled around the doors numbered many thousands more than could gain admit tauce to the building. As soon as the doors were opened the en tire body of the Wigwam was solidly packed with meD. The seats in the galleries were equally closely packed with ladies. The interior of the hall was handsomely decorated with evergreen, statuary and flow ers, and presented a striking appearance. There were not less than ten thousand per sons in the building, while the open doors dis played to view crowds in the streets unable to obtain more than a glimpse inside of the hall. At 12 o'clock the Convention was called to order by Gov. Morgan of New-York, Chair man of the National Committee, who named the Hon. DAVID WILMOT of Penn. for tempor ary President.

Mr. Carter of Ohio moved to amend the proposition of the gentleman from Oregon or New-York, he did not kuow which, that the credentials be presented to the Committee. HORACE GREELEY —I accept the amendment of the gentleman from Maryland or Rhode Island, I am not particular which. [Loud laughter.] The motion was adopted. Mr. Carter of Ohio moved for a Committee of one from each State und Territory on the platform. After discussion, the motion was laid on the table until the permaneut organization was ef fected. A loug discussion took place on a motion that when the Convention adjourn it be to five o'clock p. m., which eventually prevailed. The Convention then adjourned to 5 o'clock P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. The " Wigwam " was again crowded to ; overflowing—a flood of people pouring in through every door as soon as it was opened, filling the nail almost instantly with a dense ly-packed mass from the platform to the doors. The galleries were also well filled with la- j dies, though not as compactly as at the morn- : ing session. Mr. Ilorton of Ohio, from the Committee on Permanent Organization, reported the name of George Ashman of Massachusetts for per manent President. The report was received with loud applause. The Hon. Prestou King of New-York and Carl Schurz of W isconsiu were appointed a Committee to conduct the President to the chair. Mr. Ashman, on taking the chair, was greet ed with immense applause, the delegates rising and giving him six hearty cheers.

Thomas, a working Republican of Chicago, presented to the chair a haudsome gavel. He said it was not the wood, ivory, and silver alone which made it valuable. It was pre cious in consequence of association, being a piece of oak from the /lag ship of the gallant \ Lawrence. [Cheers ] It was an emblem of the Republican party, strong and not noisy.— The motto it bore was one which need not be urged upon Republicans, " Don't give up the ship." He hoped that at the end of the con flict the Republicans would be able to say with another great commander. "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."

The rules, as amended, were then adopted. , | Judge JESSUP, from the Committee on ile . ; solutions, reported the following : . j Resolred, That we, the delegated represen i tatives of the Republican Electors of the I'nit ! Ed States, in Convention assembled, iu the dis ; charge of the duty we owe to our constituents and our country, unite in the fu. .v. g decU* | rations : ( First: That the history of the nation during | the last four years lias fully established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpetuation of the Republican party, and that i the causes which called it iuto existence are permenent in their nature, and now more than ever before demand its peaceful and coastitu > tional triumph. Second: That the maintenance of the prin ciples promulgated in the Declaration of Inde pendence, and embodied in 4 the Federal Con stitutioD,is essential to the preservation of our republican institutions ; that the Federal Con stitution, the rights of the States, and the i Union of the States, must and shall be preserv ed and that we reassert " these truths to be " self evident, that all men are created equal ; " that they are endowed by their Creator " with certain unalienable rights ; that among 1 " these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of " happiness. That these rights, gov " emmeuts arc instituted among men, deriving " their just powers from the consent of the " governed." Third: That to the Union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in population ; its surprising development of ma- i terial resources ; its rapid augmentation of wealth ; its happiness at home and its honor abroad ; and we hold in adhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source thev may ; aud we congratulate the country that no \ Republican Member of Congress has uttered or countenanced a threat of disunion, so often I made by Democratic Members of Congress j without rebuke and with applause from their politica] associates ; and we denounce those threats of disunion, in case of a popular over throw of their ascendency, as a denying the vital principles of a free Government, aud as an avowal of contemplated treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people strong ly to rebuke and forever silence. Fourth : That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States,and especially the right of each State to order aud control its own domestic institutions, according to its own judg ment exclusively, is essential to that balauce of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political faith depends, and we denounce the lawless iuvasion by armed force of anv State or Territory, no matter under what pre text, as among the gravest of crimes. . Fifth : That the present Democratic Ad ministration has far exceeded our worst appre hensions in its measureless subserviency to the exactions of a sectional iuterest, as is especial ly evident in its desperate exertions to force the infamous Lccompton Constitution tipou the protesting people of Kansas—in construing the personal relation between master and servant to involve an unqualified property In persons —in its attempted enforcement everywhere, on land and sea, through the intervention of Con gress and the Federal Courts of the extreme pretentions of a purely local interest, and in its general and unvarying abuse of the power in trusted to it by a confiding people. Sixth: That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades every department of the Federal Government; that a return to rigid economy and accounta bility is indispensable to arrest the system of plunder of the public treasury by favored par tisans ; while the recent startling developments of fraud and corruption at the Federal metro polis, show that an entire change of adminis tration is imperatively demanded. Seventh: Thai the new dogma that the Constitution of its own force carries Slavery into any or all the Territories of the United States, at variance with the explicit provis ions of that instrument itself, withcotempora neous exposition, and with legislative end judi cial precedent, is revolutionary in its tendeucy and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. Eighth : That the normal condition of all the territory of the Uuited States is that of Freedom ; that as our republican fathers,when they had abolished Slavery in all our national i territory, ordained that no person should be I deprived of life, liberty, or property without ! due process of law, it becomes otir duty, by I legislation, whenever such legislation is neces- j : sary, to maintain this provision of the Consti- 1 I tutiou against all attempt to violate it ; and we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territori ; al Legislature, or of any individuals, to give I legal existence to Slavery in any Territory of the United States. Xinth : That we brand the recent reopen . ing of the Afrieaji slave-trade, under the cover I of our national Hag, aided by perversions of i j judicial power, as a crime against humanity, a | burning shame to our country and age, and we | call upon Coiigress to take prompt and cffici I ent measures for the total and final suppres j sion of that execrable traffic. | Tenth: That iu the recent vetoes by their Federal Governors of the acts of the Legisla tures of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibting ; Slavery in those Territories, we find a practi cal illustration of the boasted Democratic prin pie of non-intervention and l'opnlar Sovereign ty, embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and a denunciation of the deception and fraud I ! involved therein. ; Eleventh : That Kansas should of right be immediately admitted as a State under the i Constitution recently formed and adopted by I her people, and accepted by the House of Rep-1 i resentativei. Twelfth: That while providing revenue for j the support of the General Government by du ties upon imposts, sound policy requires such nn adjustment ot these imposts as to encourage the development of the industrial interest of the whole country,and wccommend that policy ' of national exchanges which secures to the workmen liberal wages, to agriculture remun erating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers au adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial pros perity and independence. Thirteen'h : That we protest against any sale or alienation to others of the p-iblic lands held by actual settlers, and against any view of the free Homestead policy which regards the set - tiers as paupers or supplicants for public bounty, and we demand the passage bv Con gress of the complete and satisfactory Home stead measure which has already passed the House. Fourteenth: That the Republican party is i opposed to any change jn our Naturalization laws, or any State legislation by which the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded to im migrants from foreign lands shall be abridged j or impaired ; and i:i favor of giving a full and • efficient protection to the rights of nil classes ; of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both i at home or abroad. Fifteenth: That appropriations by Congress for lliver and Harbor Improvements of a na tional character, required lor the accommoda tion and security of an existing Commerce, are j authorized by the Coustituliou and justified bv an obligation of the Government to protect | the lives and property of its citizens. Sijt re nth : That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded by the inter J ests of the whole country ; that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and : j efficient aid in its construction, and that as preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should j be promptly established. Seventeenth: Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles and views, we invite ; the co-operation of all citizeus, however differ ing on other questions, whos übstantiaily agree j I with us iu their atlirmauce aud support. | When the resolutions were read several i elicited warm applause. The resolution in favor of the protective i Tariff was received with unbounded enthusiasm by Pennsylvania and a large crowd of outsi- ; ders ; the whole delegations and spectators rising and giving round after rouud of deafen i ing cheers. Mr. G. W. CI-RTIS, of New.York, moved to amend the second resolution by adding tnereto i the prelude to the Declaration of Indepcnden ce. Mr. KM THAYER raised apointof order that the amendment hud already been voted down The President ruled the point or order well j taken. Mr. F EANCIS P. 13 [.AIR said that, if ncces | sary, he would appeal from the decision of the ' Chair. The former amendment was made to ; the first resolution, while the proposition was : to nmand the second resolution. The PRESIDENT.— If such is the case the J 1 amendment is in order. The resolution, as amended, was passed un- | animonsly. A scene of the wildesc exritement followed, the immense multitude rising and giving round after round of applause. Ten thousand voices swelled with so deafening a roar that for sev eral minutes every attempt to restore order was hopelessly vain. The multitude outside took np and reehoed the cheers, making the scene of enthusiasm and excitement unparalleled in any similar gathering. Adraidst the confusion it was motioned to adjourn till 10 o'clock to morrow. Lost. Mr. GOODRICH, of Minnesota, to ballot for President. Much confusion ensued, nnd cries of "Bal lot " ensued, amidst which the President put the affirmative in motion to adjonrn, and de clared the Convention adjonrned till 10 to morrow. CHICAGO, Friday, May 18,18(50. The Wigwam was closely packed for a full hour before the Convention assembled this m orning. The interest in the proceedings a pears on the increase as the time for ballon ,'! approaches.

The President announced the motion pen,;. I ing to be to take a ballot for a- candidate fo* President of the United States. Mr. 13! air, of Maryland, announced that I consequence of the adoption by the Cotiv< j tiou of the rule restricting the vote of Mr. ; land to the number of delegates present, [,> j delegation had last evening filled up ' number, and asked leave to present the cre dentials of five new delegates to fill the aua. ber from that State. The motion to admit the extra delegates was lost amid applause. The Convention then voted to proceed •., ballot for a candidate for President of ti,. | United States. Win M. Kvarfs of New York did rot r:-<. j for the purpose of making a speech, but on • : to ask if at this time it is in order to put ca !- , didates in nomination. The President—The chair considers it ia ; order to name candidates without debate. Win. M. Evarts rose and said—l beg leave to offer the name of Win. 11. Seward a- 1 candidate before this Convention for the no-..- inatiou of President of the United Stales. This nomination was received with loud an-I j long continued applause. Mr. Judd of Illinois rose and said : Mr. President, I beg leave to offer as a candidate before this Convention for President of the United States the name of A brain Lincolu | of Illinois. * The crowded audience greeted this nomina tion with perfectly deafening applause, the i shouts swelling into a perfect roar, and being continued for several minutes, the wildest ex citement and enthusiasm prevailing. At the close of the applause some hisses were heard, but the pressure for Lincoln was tremendou- Mr. Dudley of New Jersey presented the ; name of Wm. L. Dayton. [Light npjdan-e t Gov.

Tremendous applause followed this speech, thousands of those present rising and waring their hats and handkerchiefs, and swelling the applause to a thundering roar through several minute. Tom Corwin of Ohio nominated John Mc- Lean of Ohio for the Presidency. [ Loud np planse.j Carl Schurz of Wisconsin, on the part cf ' his State, here rose and seconded the nomina tion of Wm. 11.
