We have not seen the "wise man" in this

busy predicting that the Federal party will

Hannibal Hamlin.

Mr.. Hamlin, of Maine, cur candidate for
Vice President, is Of Democratic antecedents.
He is about the same age of Mr.. Lincoln, and
man much like him in appearance, though
less tall and angular. Lincoln is about six
feet four /; Hamlin is less than six feet.
Mr.. Hamlin commenced public life as =
leading member Of the Maine Legislature
when he was quite young man. He was
elected to Congress in 1S43, where he served
two terms. He was afterwards elected a.
U. S. Senator, where he remained till 1856,
when like many other Northern Democrats
he became disguised with the Slavery policy
If the Democratic party, and became Re-
publican, and as such was elected Governor,
and resigned his seat in the Senate. He was
afterwards reelected to the u s. Senate, and
is now a leading member Of that body. Sem
ator Hamlin was one of the few Democrats in
that body who had the courage and manhood
to oppose the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise.
The name of Hannibal Hamlin adds great
strength to this ticket The names Of Lincoln
and Hamlin are a strong team with which
to drive over the Presidential course IN this
year 1860.-ChicGgo Journal

Nessrs. Editors.-You have probably heard
before now the result Of the Chicago Conven.
ton. The number in attendance was i'm.
mcnsc, and everything passed off harmoni.
ously. The enthusiasm manifested on the
nomination of "OLD ABE" was carried to
such an extent as to completely throw the
Harrison times of 1910 in the shade. The
Democrats looked, after the nomination, as
white in the face as their own winding sheets
will look next November.
The prairies Of Illinois are all on fire fo'

over their road to Davenport. At every sta.

were gathered immense numbers, cheering

arrival Of the train at Rock Island, a Commit

Of Davenport intended giving the Delegates
formal reception, and that the rooms of the
Burtis House would be thrown open to them
during their stay in that city. The train
then started for that city, and on its arrival
was greeted by an immense gathering Of its
citizens, two military companies, and two
brass bands, besides large numbers of the fai,
sex, who, from their appearance on the occa.

How Old Abe Received the News.

When the news of the nomination was re-
ceivcd in Springfield, Mr.. Lincoln was in the
State Journal Office. A boy came headlong
into the room where he was sitting, with q
scaled dispatch, which he placed in his hand.
Mr.. Lincoln opened it and a sudden pallor
came over his features. He gazed upon it in
tently nearly three minutes. Then his GUS
tomary smile returned and he rose, saying
Well boys, there is = little woman down At
our house who is interested in this business -
and he walked away without any further ap-
pcarance-o of agitation, to inform Mrs. Lincoln
Of thu Joyful news.

The Republican Platform.

Resolved, That we, the delegated represen
tatives of the Republican electors Of the Uni.
ted States, in Convention assembled, in dis.
charge of the duty we owe to our constitu.
ents, and our country, unite in the following
declaration
1. That the history of the nation during
the last four years, has fully established the
propriety and necessity of this organization
and that the cause which called it into exis-
tence are permanent in their nature, and
now, more than ever before, demand its
peaceful and constitutional triumph.
2. That the maintenance Of the principles
promulgated in the Declaration of Indepen.
ton, that al men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty, and pursuit Of happiness
that to secure these rights, governments arr
instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed
is essential to the preservation Of our Repub.
lican institutions; and that the Federal Con-
stitution, the Rights Of the States, and the
Union of the States, must and shall be pre-.
served
8. That to the Union of the States this
nation owes its unprecedented increase in
population, its surprising developement Of
material resources, its rapid augmentation Of
wealth, its happiness at home and its hon.
or abroad; and we hold in adherence al
schemes for Disunion, come from whatevcI
source they may: And we congratulate the
country that no Republican member Of Con.
gross has uttered or countenanced the threats
Of Disunion so often made by Democratic
members. without rebuke and with applause
from their political associates; and we de.
nounce those threats Of disunion, in case ol
q popular overthrow Of their ascendency n
denying the vital principles Of free govern.
ment, and as an avowal Of contemplated trea.
son, which it is the imperative duty of an
indignant People sternly to rebukc and for.
ever silence.
4. That the maintenance inviolate Of the
rights of the States, and especially the right
of each State to order and control it's own do
mestic institutions according to its own judg
ment exclusively, is essential to that balance
Of powers on which the perfection and endu.
rance of our political fabric depends; and
we denounce the lawless invasion by armed
force Of the soil of any State or Territory, nc
matter under what pretext, as among the
gravest of crimes.
8. That the present Democratic Admins
tration has far exceeded our worst apprehen
sicns, in its measur.less subeerviency to tn,
