THE FEELING IN WESTERN NETWORK.
Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.

ROCHESTER, May %, 1860.
Since the nominations at Chicago have had occasion
10 visit several Of the principal cities in the Central and
Western parts of our State and have conferred with
many leading Republicans in regard 10 the tone OF
feeling respecting those nominations. Of course, great
disappointment was felt when the tidmgs arrived that
Gov. Seward had been beaten. There was, except
among those whose sources of information extended
far beyond New-York, general expectation that he
would be the candidate; and it natural, therefore,
that the first emotion when receiving intelligence OF
his failure should be that Of disappointment and de-
preston mingled here and there with discourage
ment, and, in few rare instances, with threats Of
Vengeance However, the honest masses have got
pretty much over this feeling and now begin TO shout
Justify for Lincoln while the corrupt politicians VINO
for years have made merchandise OF the lofty prncl-
pies and great popularity Of Seward are beginning TO
zee that no wel-ntOrmed person doubts the success
At our ticket and 80 had almost said Entortandety/
they are falling INTO hne =.
ihe public sentiment of Central and Western New
York was ummary expressed Yesterday at Rochester,
bv one of the most Intelligent Republicans in the state,
and always ardent supporter OF Seward oaid ne
q Lincoln will get all the votes that Seward would,
"and great many beside. 1t Is probable Una. now
generated in the filth and corruption OF the Albany
Lobby, may bolt the nomination. But for every such
recslnt rascal there will be found ten honest men 70
take lis place And the sooner and the more c0nscu-
ously and Internationally they make their detection and
deeeron known the better for the party and the cause
These corrupt creatures have been the bane OF Gov
Stewards political life. They have hung like mill
stones upon the neck Of his popularity. They have
beapedE b,taces mountain high in the pathway OF his
success They added the last feather TO the back OF the
camel at Chicago, and crushed him. The more, tnen,
these fellows threaten to leave us, the better PROVIDED
always, that they viii not only theaten but execute
not only talk Of going byand-by, but, not standing
upon the order Of their going, 60 at once. But alas
no such blessing is in store for Lincoln and Hamlin
These yermin VII asten upon and stick TO them % the
end OF tie contest and then crawl INTO all the snug
places they can find.
Let every body be assured then that the great mass
Of Repubcnism in this section OF the State Is sound 70
the core OF course there is work 70 be done, but the
victory viii be comparatively easy The Democracy
Is demCraized and cannot rally. If Douglas u nom-
mated the Hard Hards " will sacrifice HIM. II nc Is
not bis friends will kill whoever is. The contest OF
1850 will be that of 1913 over again. The Democracy
heTeabOuis as elsewhere shedding many tears over
the defeat Of Seward The failure Of Seward at Chl,
cago seems 10 have disarranged their wen-preParel
programme almost as much as the failure Of Dougas AZ
Charleston. All tneir "irTepressble" " higher law,
Helper Spooner John Brown thunder was ready 10 De
launched at the head Of Seward the instant tne Een-
ming announced biz nomination. But Lincoln! TO- TINS
Democratic thunder is now suspended in MID yoliey;
while the disappointed and wraDgng factions OF the
Democracy preparing Walls of wrath 70 DC poured
out III due time upon the heads Of each other.
