to The Pa,lucah, (Ky.) Herald, Democratic,
has the following notice Ct the nominees Of the
Chicago Convention:
BLACK REPUBLICAN, NONINEEs.--It will bc seen
that the Black Republican Convention, " hicn met
at Chicago on the 18th inst, has nominated
Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, for President, and
Hannibal Hamlin, Of Maine, for Vice President.
Our belief il that 1t is the stl Ongest ticket
which could have been nominated. Lincoln has
been given tnc position 70 cttch Illinois, Indiana,
and the Northwest, while Hamlin has bee II put on
to connteract the strength of Everett iii New
England.
Lincoln is Kentuckian by birth. LAWYER Nv
profession, an infdel in religion, and a low down
Black Republican demagogue in politcs--some
thing after the style Of Douglas. He is tall
lank, hump shonldercd, awkward, ugly specimen
OF humanity, bNt i nam OF genius, OF great
powers as IN orator, and is greatly liked as a
genial companion, though he is not drunkard
like Douglas He had only local reputation a.
a politician, until he made the canvass against
Douglas for United States Senator eighteen
months since. That canvass has made him the
| Black Republican candidate for President, while
| the same canvass destroyed Douglas
Lincoln can, We think, carry Illinois against
| any man in America, and there is only one man
| in the Union who can beat him in Indiana, and
that man is james Guthrie. There is large
number Of kentuckians in Indiana, Democrats
ami Wings who are generally conservative men,
and great many OF whom are personally ac-
| qaalntcd with Mr. Guthrie, and have confidence
| IN his integrity, conservatism, ami patriotism.
They would all rally around Mr.. Guthrie and
give him the htate,
Lincoln will also be very strong In Penns, Il IN
ia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
