SEWARD OR LINCOLN.

To the Editor Of The NJ y Tribune
: Il: AS you are now publishing the opinions Of such
as address you on the Presidential question, perhaps
the views of an Illinois Republican would not be
sidered inopportune.
In the fret place, though the domination of the Hon.
A. Lincoln, by our Convention, would best suit the
feelings and desires of the mass Of Republican voters
of this State l. in with probably nine out OF ten
Of the party here, acknowledge the higher claims Of
VIM. II. Seward, and think it justly due him, as the
acknowledged leader Of party from the days OF iIs
infancy, and now, perhapp, the most thorough repre-
sentative man in ranks. II Gov. Seward is deemed
sufficiently available by the Convention which Is soon
to meet in th, city, the only question which should
arise 10 debar his receiving the nomination is removed.
II the doubte about bis carrying Pennsylvania are
removed, it will be act Of gross injustice TO him II
he IL not nominated without opposition.
1t Is my firm belief that he could carry Illinois by at
least 5000 majority against even Mr. Douglas, as ne
will be certain of receiving the entire German vote OF
the State without which candidate stands without
the ghost of chance Of receiving its Electoral vote
But In the event Of its being coDcusyely shown ths
with him as our standard bearer should lessen our
chances of success in Pennsylvania, which 10 abso-

To The ESifo, Of The N u Tribune.
SIR: The time is near at hand when the Republic
can party, through their Convention at Chicago, will
again unfurl the banner of Freedom, bearing invi
aion upon its folds to every patriot in the land to rally
around IT, That we may do this in the assurance Of
cordial cooperation Of those who place proper est-
mate upon the value Of our glorious Union and the
Constitutional rights Of our citizens and the importance
Of restoring the action Of Government to the pfn-
cipes of our Republican fathers, it is Of the first i'm
portance tnat our standard. bearer be a Republican
from principle. said that upon the of import
ant battle during the early period Of the American Rev
olutioD, Washington said, "Let none but Amer
"icans he put on guard to night" Let us adopt the
sentiment and order none bat Republicans guard in
1860 1t cannot be doubted for moment that the Re-
publican party holds much larger number Of men OF
acknowledged talents and capacity for the Office of
Chief Magistrate than any all other parties then let
it not be urged that we should set aside own gal
liant Leaders as though they were unworthy or unfit to
wear the laurels now within our grasp. Let our
st1ndardbearer be in whom all the essential ee-
ments of chief magistrate are combined. In word,
let him be man who has soul to dare that which he
has a will to do.
If certain Southern gentlemen are ssriou, in their
threatened violent resistance to the inauguration Of
Republican President land have no right to call
their sincerity in question: we should make our seec-
ton with an eye to that event. And If we have man
Of superior talent and abity-known and recognized
by all Republican from principle and at the
time could go to Washington and take the oath of
Office on the 4th of March next without the etdsion of
blocd--let him be selected. Need add tina, such
man can be found in the person of CAssrUs NJ CLAY Of
Kentucky. Let him receive tire nomination, and his
election is certain. Then the clam0r abou. cisunion
secession and resistance to the constituted authorities
Of the Government will be numbered with the things
that were and treated tale that is told. In sele t.
ing Mr.. Clay as stsndardbearer, we will have the
proud satisfaction of knowing that he has made much
more sacrifice at the shrine Of Liberty aud Republican
ian than any other in the nation that he is man
before whose youthful vision more than ordinary
brilliant future was hung invtiDgly out. Bot like an
ancient foe to Human Slavery he preferred to suffer az
fiction and persecution and endure hardshPs and re.
roacbes in Freedoms cauee rather than TO roll in the
palaces of the Slavery king. But whether or not Mr..
Clay shall receive the nomination, he and his friends
will be found as heretofore In the thickest Of the fight

SIR: As your columns are open to opinions and sug
gestions as to who may be the strongest and most
available candidate that the Republican party could
nominate for the Presidency, beg leave to say that
Col John c. Fremont isthe strongest in the party
for this portion of the Empire State that could be
mated by the Chicago Convention, although Gov
Seward would receive the full party vote. see by
your correspondents thst hi, name has not gone into
oblivion in other portions Of the country, but that the
very sound of his name adds new life aud energy 10
the party whose phalanx he SO noby led in 1856 Ger
tainly, his claims are not inconsiderable. The infa
ISLANDERS hurled against him by adversares in
1856 wonld rot much as be thought of in 1860,
cept to the injury Of hose VIII, them. Let this be
tax en- into consideration.
Col Fremont wonld receve-;f present omens are
not deceptve-a stronger support from the oonserva
tive" element than would Mr.. Bates, Now, this may
seem strange, but it is true nevertheless The fact is
Dir. Bates has not the confidence Of the American peo
PIE to any great extent. speak of Col Fremont as
The most 0gGildJe candidate, but William IA. Seward
is our choice. Give us Fremont, Sc ward, Chase,

once or twice triumphing with the Republicans, on

that party. Give Us the prestige of success, and the
beauties Of strictly Republican Administration, with
man at its head who is firm but not ultra and third

is concerned
shall not institute comparison between Mr. Bates
and any other probable candidate but trust shall be
INDUCED In saying this that while at the north of the
State, any man who is the nominee will be likely to
poll tie entire strength Of the Opposition, at the same
time Mr. Bates, on such platform trust will be
adopted at Chicago, will carry 5000 more votes than
alone there 900 voters who could not be induced

To the Editor of The NJ y TTibHHs
Sin: Permit an ardent friend Of the Union, whose
Republicanism is never doubted by those who know
him, to make suggestion on this subject. Living
your correspondent does, in Of the doubtful States,
and knowing something of the state Of politics there, 1t
is to be hoped that this suggestion will have Its due
weight And lest should be obnoxious to the charge
of urging the claims of fayorte candidate TO the
personal encouragement of any other, lie, me frankly
confess that hare a fayorite, and for whom mean TO
contend; nor do expect to have anything TO " re-
tract or explain away, in the event of any possible
nomination" That favorite is the distinguished, pa
tiioc upon-loving citizen, rho shall be nominated at
he Chicago Convention. With any man who has the
least shadow Of chance there as our standard bearer,
II danana will make respectable fight With very
few men can she succeed. Some Of your correspond
ents put Indiana down as the most doubtful OF all the
"pivotal" States.
II this be so, then take courage We Intend to
carry the State at the next election by very hand
some majority bat there ia but one way in which this
can be done. In 1856, the vote Of Indiana stood as

The letter of NELSON Poe, Esq, in another
column deserves and Will doubtless receive
general attention. 1t forms one more striking
chapter Of the history of that extraordinary trans
action which has of late, in some of its recent de-
veopments, occupied so large portion of onrcol-
umns. The course pursued by Governor Hicks,
as shown by the correspondence now made public
between him and Mr.. Poe, indicates very concu-
svely the character of the influences brought
to bear upon him. His first appearance
of frmness, his subsequent wavering and
his final precipitate surrender, all prove
beyond donbt, that his original and better inten-
tons were overcome by an amount of solicitation
and a species of appeal, which he was not strong
enough to resist. Our space at present. however,
does not allow US TO comment upon nor, in fact, is
there any particular necessity to point out the in
consistency and improperly of the GOVERNORS
course. His own words and deeds make these
quite as plain as could be done by any analysis of

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.-By the Anglo-Saxon,
at Quebec, we have highly important intel
ligence from Europe. Fifty thousand Sandman
troops had entered the States of the Church. Pc
saro was entered and twelve hundred German SOL
ders, with Gen. Bella, commander of the Pope's
troops, taken prisoners. The Powers have
protested against the entry of the Sardinians into
the Papa dominions. Russia and Prussia protest
in the strongest terms, but would take other
step. Count Cavour had issued a note explaining
the position Of Sardinia. An interview between the
Emperors of Russia, Austria and the Prince Regent
is to take place at Warsaw on the lst of October.
THE PARK QUESTION SErrLED.-We believe that
at last safe in announcing that all the diff
culties in the way of the purchase of Druid Hill
have been satisfactorily arranged, and that the
property is now virtually in the hands of the Park
Commissioners. We have not learned when it
will be thrown open to the public, but we suppose
that this will be done at early day.
THR OPERA.-To-nigh the Italian Opera Troupe
give us, at the Front Street Theatre, the charming
opera of ola Somnambula,' in which Miss Patti
appears as Aniina, BrignOi as Eirino, and Barili
as the Count Rodopho The role selected by Miss
Patti is we'll adapted to her powers, and we expect
to see her cleverness actress well as her
skill a vocalist well displayed NJ. Brignoli will
sing of course with his old charming voice. NJ.
Barili we have not heard, but We know the Mana
gers too well to suppose that they would put in
ferior person in of the leading parts. The gen.
tleman referred TO is highly spoken of in the North
ern prints Altogether, delightful ntertainment
may be anticipated tonight, and there will doubt
less be a full attendance.
HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-The engagement of
Mr.. and Mrs. Florence will be at an end tomorrow
evening-the occasion of their beneht-when will
be presented entertainment. Tonight
these clever artstcs will appear in three of
their best pieces, OFlonnigan and the Fairies,
