FOR PRBSIDSHT,
H05. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
SON. HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of Maine.
POR OOVERSOR,
EON. ANDREW G. CURTIN, of Centre Co.
-THE NOMINATIONS.
'By a reference to tbe proceedings of the
Chicago Convention, which we publish in to
day's paper, it will bo seen that lion. Abra
ham Lincoln, of Illinois, was nominated for
President, ani Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of
Maine, for Vice President. Mr. Lincoln is
well-known to the people of the whole coun
try, by reason of his warm contest with Mr.
Douglas, in which, thongh failing to secure a
majority of Representatives, he had a major
ity of the popular vote. He was born in Har
din county, Kentucky, February 12th, 1809,
and is now 51 years of age. His parents were
tf Quaker stock that migrated from Pennsyl
vania to Virginia, whence his grandfather re
moved in 1811 to Kentucky, and was there
killed by Indians while working on his clear
ing. His son also died prematurely, leaving
a widow and several children, among these
Abraham, then six years old.. The family re
moved soon after to Southern Indiana, where
Abe " grew to the stature of six feet and
some inches. He was in turn a farm laborer,
a common workman in a saw-mill, and a boat
man on the Wabash and Mississippi rivers.
At 21 he pushed furl her West into Illinois,
living for some years past in Springfield, the
State capital. He took part in the Black
Hawk war; he was an unsuccessful candidate
1or the Legislature tho next year; he was
chosen the next and served for four years ;
stodied law in the meantime-; became a Btrong
advocate of Whig principles and a protective
tariff and a warm friend of Henry Clay ; was
a Whig candidate for elector in nearly every
Presidential contest from 1S36 to 1852 ; was
elected a member of Jhe thirtieth Congress ;
was a candidate for United States Senator in
1854, but as his party was in a minority in the
Legislature, he withdrew, and his friends sup
ported Judge Trumbull, the candidate of the
Anti-Nebraska Democrats, who was thus elec
ted. He is a self-aiado man in all respects
knows what it is to earn a living by hard labor,
and is eminently the workinguian's friend. It
is conceded that he will carry all the north
western States with, perhaps, a single excep
tion,' Ohio, New York and the New England
States. The contest will doubtless be decided
by Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indiana. In
oar opinion,1 Mr. Lincoln is the only man
that can be elected over the Democratic can
didate, and all who sincerely desire to put an
end to tho mismanagement and corruptions
which are now disgracing tmr Government,
should give him their hearty support. The
nomination commends itself the more, because
made by the conservatives of the party. ;
Mr. Hamlin, the candidate for Vice Presi
dent, is also a man of about 51 years of age j
served from 1836 to 1840 in the State Legisla
ture j in 1813 was elected a member of Con
gress and re-elected the following term ; in
1817 was again a member of tbe Legislature,
and the nextyear was chosen to fill a vacancy
in the United States Senate, occasioned by
tho death of John Fairfield. In 1851 ho was
re-elected for the full term, but resigned on
being. chosen Governor of Maine in 1857. - In
tbe Game month he was again elected to the
United States Senate for six years, which po
sition he still occupies.
Heavy Defalcation. Considerable excite
ment was raised the past week in political cir
cles by the discovery that Mr. Isaac V. Fowl
er, the Democratic postmaster in New York
city, was a defaulter to the amount of $155,000.
U. S. marshal Rynders was ordered to arrest
him, but Fowler had secreted himself and
could not be found. He was appointed by Mr.
Pierce, and retained in office by Mr. Buchan
an, in furthering whose election in 1856, it is
said, he so involved himself as to be obliged
to resort to dishonesty. His friends offered to
mako up tho sum if the legal proceedings
were stopped, and ho retained in office for
a short time, to enable him to preserve his
reputation ;' but the Postmaster General de
clined assenting to such a subtetfuge.
How it is Received. The nomination of
"honest Abe Lincoln," the man who can "split
rails and : maul Democrats," as some one re
marked, is received enthusiastically in almost
every section of the country. Here and there
some one may be dissatisfied, as is always the
case j but we believe the nominations are more
satisfactory than any that have been made for
some year. Our exchanges ar teeming with
articles expressing their satisfaction, and some
of the Democratic papers are afraid the "wig
wam" excitement will be as great this year as
the log-cabin excitement was in 1840, and that
the Chicago ticket will be carried with a per
fect "rush." So mote it be !
Intelligence has been received at New York
that the bark William, late of that port, h38
been -captured off the Isle of Pines by the
United States steamer Wyandotte. Sho had
on board a cargo of slaves numbering five hun
dred, and fifty. The negroes have been taken
to Key West,
CHICAGO CONVENTION.
.The Republican National Convention met at
Chicago on the 16th inst. It was one of the
largest, most brilliant and enthusiastic gather
ings of the kind ever witnessed in tho country,
it being estimated that at least 10,000 specta
tors had crowded into the immense " wigwam."
At the hour for assembling, Gov. Morgan, of
New York, called the Convention to order,
and on his motion non. David Wilmot . was
called npon to preside temporarily. Appro
priate remarks were made by both these gen
tlemen, after which committees were appoint
ed on permanent organization and credentials.
The Committee on Permanent Organization
reported for President of the Convention,
Hon. George Ashmun.of Massachusetts. The
usual number of Vice Presidents and Secreta
ries were reported, and the report being adopt
ed, Mr. Ashmun was conducted to the chair,
and made an appropriate speech. A commit
tee of one from each State was appointed on
resolutions. It was ordered also that each de
legation report the name of one person to con
stitute a member of the National Committee,
after which the Convention adjourned.
On Thursday a warm debate sprang up on a
question raised by Mr. Wilmot, as to what vote
delegates from certain States should be entit
led to. Delegates from Maryland, Kentucky
and Kansas protested against their not haviog
accorded them equal rights in that Convention
with gentlemen from other States, where, if
more had been done, less had been dared than
by those on the other side of the line. Their
remarks were received with enthusiasm, and
the question was at length settled by admit
ting the delegates from such States to cast one
vote to each delegate present. The Business
Committee proposed a rulo that a majority of
the whole Electoral College, or 304 votes,
should be required to nominate the candidates.
This report was rejected by a voto of 331 to
130. so it was decided that tho candidates
should be nominated in the usual way by a
majority of the delegates present. Judge Jes
sup, from the Committee on Resolutions, re
ported the followiug platform :
Resolved, Tbat we, the delegated representa
tives of the Republican electors of the United
States, in Convention assembled, in the dis
charge of the duty we owe to our constituents
and our country, unite in the following decla
rations : .
First That the history of the nation during
the last four years has established tbe propriety
and necessity of tbe organization and perpetu
ation of the Republican party, and that tbe
causes which called it into existence are per
manent in their nature, and now, more than
ever before, demand its peaceful and constitu
tional triumph. .
Second That the maintenance of the Feder
al Constitution is essential to tbe preservation
of our republican institutions, and shall be pre
served. Third That to the Union of the States this
nation owes its unprecedented increase in popu
lation, its surprising development of material
resources, its rapid augmentation of wealth, its
happiness at homo and its honor abroad; and
wo bold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion,
come from whatever source they may. And
we congratulate the country tbat no Republican
member of Congress has uttered or countenan
ced a threat of disunion so often made by De
mocratic niembers of Congress without rebuke,
and with applause from their political associa
tes. And we denounce those threats of disun
ion in case of a popular overthrow of their as
cendancy, as denying the vital principles of a
free government, and as an avowal of contem
plated treason, which it is tbe imperative duty
of an indignant people strongly to rebuke and
forever silence.
Fourth Tbat the maintenance inviolate of
the rights of tho States, and especially the
rights of each State to order and control its
own domestic institutions according to its own
judgment exclusively, is essential to that bal
ance of power on which the perfection and en
durance of her political faith depends. And
we denounce the lawless invasion by aa armed
force, of any State or territory, no matter un
der what pretext, as among the gravest of
crimes.
Fifth That the present democratic Admin
istration has so far exceeded our worst appre
hensions in its measureless subserviency to
the exactions of a sectional interest, as is es
pecially evident in its desperate exertions to
force the infamous Lecompton constitution up
on the protesting people of Kansas in con-.
struing the personal relation between master
and servant to involve an unqualified property
in persons in its attempts at the enforcement,
everywhere, on land and sea, through the in
tervention of Congress and the Federal Courts,
of the extreme pretensions of a purely local
interest, and in its general and unvarying
abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confid
ing people.
Sixth That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extravagance which per
vades every department of the federal govern
ment. That a return to rigid economy and
accountability is indispensable to arrest the
system of plunder of the public treasury by fa
vored partizans; while the present startling
developments of fraud and corruption at the
federal metropolis show that an entire change
of administration is imperatively demanded.
Seventh That the new dogma that the Con
stitution, of its own force, carries slavery into
any or all the territories of the United States,
is a dangerous political heresy, at variance
with the explicit provisions of that instrument
itself, with its contemporaneous exposition,
and with legislative and judicial precedent, is
revolutionary in its tendencies and subversive
of the peace and harmony of the country. -
Eighth That the normal condition of all the
territory of the United States, is that of free
dom. That as our republican fathers, when
they had abolished slavery in all our national
territory, ordained that no person should be
deprived of life, liberty ard property, without
due process of law, it becomes our duty, by
legislation, whenever such legislation is neces
sary, to maintain this prevision of the Consti
tution against all attempts to violate it; and
we deny the authority of Congress, of a terri
torial legislature, or of any individuals, to give
legal existence to slavery in any territory of
the United States.
Ninth That we brand the recent re-opening
of the Africaa slave trade, under the cover of
our national flag, aided by perversions of judi
cial power, as a crime against humanity, a
burning shame to our country and age ; and
we call upon Congress to take prompt and effi
cient measures for the total and final suppres
sion of that execrable traffic.
Tenth That in the recent vetoes, by their
governors, of tho acts of the legislatures of
Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in
those territories, we find a practical illustration
of the boasted democratic principle of non-intervention
and popular sovereignty ia the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill, and a denunciation of
the deception and fraud involved therein.
Eleventh That Kansas should, of right,, be
Constitution recently formed and adopted by
her people, and accepted by the House of Re
presentatives. - T
immediately admitted as a State under the
Twelfth Tbat while providing revenue for
the support of tbe general government by du
ties upon imports, a sound policy requires such
an adjustment of these imposts as to encourage
the development of the industrial interest o
tbe whole country, and. we commend that po
licy of national exchanges which secures to the
working men liberal wages, agriculture remu
nerating prices, to mechanics and mannfactnr
ers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and
enterprise, and to the nation commercial pros
perity and independence.
thirteenth That we protest against anv sale
aT tion to others, of the public lands held
byrctual settlers, and against any view of the
free homestead policy which regards the set
tlers as paupers or suppliants for public boun
ty. And we demand the passage by Congress
of the complete and satisfactory homestead
measure, which has already passed the House
Fourteenth That the National Republican
party is opposed to any change m our natur
alization laws, or any State legislation bv
which rights of citizenship hitherto accorded
to emigrants from foreign lands shall be abridg
ed or impaired, and in favor of giving a full
and efficient protection to tbe rights of all
classes of citizens, whether native or naturali
zed, both at home and abroad.
Fifteenth Tbat appropriations by Congress
for liver and harbor improvements of a nation
al character required for the accommodation
and security of an existing commerce are au
thorized by the constitution and justified by an
obligation or the government to protect the
lives and property of the citizens.
Sixteenth That a railroad to the Pacific
ocean is imperatively demanded by tbe inter
ests of the whole country ; that the Federal
Government ought to render, immediate and
efficient aid in its construction, and that as a
preliminary thereto a daily overland mail
should be promptly established.
Seventeenth Finally, having thus set forth
our distinctive principles and views, we invite
the co-operation of all citizens, however differ
ing on other questions, who substantially agree
with us in their alhrmence and support.
When the resolutions were read, several eli
cited warm applause. The resolution in favor
of a protective tariff was received with un
bounded enthusiasm bv Pennsylvania and
large crowd of outsiders, the whole degations
aud spectators rising and giving round after
round of deafening cbeers.
After a lengthy, exciting and amusing dis
cussion, the report was adopted.
On Friday, the wigwam was filled at an ear
ly hour. The friends of the several candida
tes entered the Convention in a state of great
anxiety and doubt. After somo delay, occa
sioned by the clearing of the platform and dis
tributing ballots, the Convention proceeded to
make nominations, when the following gentle
men were named William II. Seward, of
New York, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois.
William L. Dayton, of : New Jersev. Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Salmon P. Chase,
of Ohio, Edward Bates, of Missouri, John
McLean, of Ohio, and Jacob Collamer, of Ver

sounded through the wigwam and streets. In
the evening the city was in a perfect blazo of
glory. Bonfires, processions, torchlights,
fireworks, illuminations and salutes filled the
air with noise aud the eye with beauty.
" Honest Old Abe " is undoubtedly a tower of
strength, and will sweep the whole north-west
in November. Everybody regards the ticket
as a strong one.
Bold Robbery. On Monday night, May 14,
Mr. Solomon Gudykunst, of Jersey Shore was
knocked down and robbed while on his way
from his office to his home m (.hat town. Mr.
Gudyknnst is the Express Agent at that place,
and when attacked was taking home with him
several packages of money locked up in a car
pet bag. He was not seriously injured, but
oeing stunned and excited by the villainous
attack, the villains were enabled to cut a hole
in the bag and took therefrom a package of
$500. Fearful of being caught or detained
they then sloped and left between four and
five thousand dollars remaining. Who they
are is not known.
How it was Done. A short time ago, a fel
low named Crandall escaped from the Alle
gheny county jail, and wrote back the follow
ing note to his former customers :
"I suppose it is a mystery to some how I got
away, and consequently 1 will give you a brief
history of my departure. The modus operandi
was thus: I got out of my cell by ingenuity,
ran up stairs with agility, crawled out of the
back window in secresy, slid down the light
ning rod with rapidity, walked out of the An
gelica town with dignity, and am now basking
in the sunshine of pleasure and liberty."
Lvdiceocs Abbreviation of an Epitaph
Wn a cemetery at Dunkirk, New York, a stone
"is erected over the " ashes " of a deceased old
lady, on which her survivors intended to write
the epitaph, Let her rest in peace." . The
space gavo out at the end of the word " her,"
so tbat only the initial letters of the remainder
could be inserted. Thus the dear old lady
was commended to the mound with the some
what slangly inscription "Let her r. i. p." '
At a village in Belgium lately, a young la
dy in a fit of delirium, resulting from sickness,
rose, dressed herself and clambered out on the
roof. - As she could not be persuaded to go
down, two slaters were sent to bring her down,
but, before they reached her, she leaped off.
She was, however, but little injured by the
fall, as her crinoline had spread out and di-
; miniehed tha velocity of her descent.

Cambria County.- A little daughter of B
F. Slick, of the village of Snmmerhill, was
drowned in Laurel Run, Id that place, on Mon
day tbe 7th inst.'' She bad gone to the rnn
for a bucket of water, io atterapiog to dip up
I which she lost her balance and fell jnio the
stream, and before assistance rsached her she
was carried under a cuivert,where she became
fast, whence all attempts to rescue her in time
to save her life" proved unavailing. . . .'On
Wednesday the 9th May, a little girl, aged 13
years, living with a relative in Millville Borough
was lost in the laurel on Benshoof s bill, whilst
out hunting a cow. Finding about 5 o'clock
that she had unconsciously departed from tbe
road, she attempted to retrace her steps, bat
in doing so became bewildered, and wnen
darkness fell npon her she discovered that she
was indeed lost. All night long she wandered
through tbe laurel in an agony of terror, and
when daylight dawned she could still discover
no outlet from the labyrinth which susrounded
her. Hungry and fatigued, she felt when she
made this painful discovery like giving up in
despair, but, "hope springs cternal'in the hu
man breast," and Miss Hopkins again attempt
ed to extricate herself from the laurel which
extended in every direction as far as her eye
could reach. So she trudged on, all day, at
times hopeful, but oftener desponding and
despairing, until, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
her heart was gladdened by. the sight of a
mountaineer's cabin, hy the owner of which
she was kindly cared for. Here she was found
the same evening by a party which bad that
morning started in search of her. The cabin
is situated near the summit of Laurel Hill,
about six miles from Millville. The adventure
will doubtless be remembered by her for a long
time. . . . Daniel T. Jones, a well known citi
zen of Cambria township, disappeared on the
if til mst., and has not been heard of since.
He had been to Ebensburg, and stopped at the
"Half-way House," where his wife called for
him, and found him in a state of intoxication.
She got him to start home, and he promised
her to go on while she stopped to see their
daughter at the residence of a son-m-law. He
was next seen above the hotel of Aloysins
Martz, but since then nothing has been heard
of him. .
Indiana County. On the night of the 7th
inst., a large house belonging to Mr. Henry
Kinter, and a black smith shop belonging to
a Mr. Brindel, were destroyed in the village of
(jreorgeville. The fire originated in Mr. Kin
ter's house, which has not been used for some
time, and renders it certain that an incendiary
was at woik. . . . Mr. Joshua E. Ewmg, of
Indiana borough, was on the 9th, thrown from
a dearbourn wagon in consequence of the
horse making a sudden spring, and falling up
on the back ot his neck, produced concussion
of the brain and spinal marrow. It f s thought,
however, that ho will recover. ... On the
night of tho 8th, the granary of McQuaide,
Kinter & Co., in Indiana borough was entered
and a barrel ot flour stolen therefrom. On the
same night the Banking House of Sutton &
Stewart was also broken into, but as all the
