Judge BEMUEL R. LINCOLN, as will be seen by the subjoined Correspondence, has accepted Q1e invitation to place upon our county ticll9f.- The vacancy, which would have been mate by withdrawing the name of Mir. HILL, who declined the nomination Of county convention, is supplied by that of Judge LINCOLN. The sacrifices of per sona wishes, and private interest, which the accept ance of this nomination imposes upon Judge LIN reflect great credit upon his public spirit and patriotism; and will long be held in grateful remem- brapce by his party. And while we regret the loss of Mir. HILLs services in the canvass, there is no name we would inscribe upon our ticket with more pleasure anthato of Judge LINCOLN; and no mans hands to which the interest of party in the pre- sent canvass, or of our county in the next Legisla ture could be more safely entrusted.
