A. he Chicago Convention has done us duty, in
- happy selection Of the very man, in all the Unit
vi States best fitted by nature and circumstances TO
carry the Republican flag in triumph into the halls of
government at Washington"
NEW YORK.
From the Albany Erening Journal, May 10:
ave place ut the head Of our columns this evening"
the nominations Of the National Convention. They
will command tie united support Of all who cherish u
devotion to the principles Of the Republican party.
1t would he idle TO attempt to disguise the dsap-
pontment which the people of this State feel at the
failure OF the Chicago Convention 10 place IN nominal
ton for President the candidate Of their State
But there can be no doubt that the nomination which
was made is regarded H. the very next choice of the
Republicans Of New York. No other man. beside
their invore, well represents the party in the
great struggle now going Oh as Abraham Lincoln"

I'VE need not tell readers that William Sew

great representative Of Republican principles, has

conservative Republican,:
1.-THE same conservative feeling that was made ap-
parent in the Chicago platform has eliminated in the
Chicago nominations for President and Vice Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamln and i, is
gratifying to record that warmly and earnestly as the
friends Of other gentlemen pressed their respective
claims tor the honor of nomination for the Presiden-
cy, there was not even II momentary hesitation on
the part of any to accept fully and cordially the
candidate upon whom the choice Of the majority of
the Convention ultimately fell. To his hish personal
character may be added moderation and conserva-
tive tendency OF mind which wiltGnakc him accepta-
Die TO very best citizens, to Wings and Americans
well as to Republicans. And should the demo-
cratic Convention nominate man of ultra views or
tlbuserng tendencies, the conservative of the
Democrats may find Mr.. Lincoln worthy of their con-
fdence.
rhe duty of Republicans and Oppositioni,ts is now
plain. We have able and eminently worthy candi-
Gates aud sound platform. 1t remains for us to or
Sanze, disseminate doctrines and enter with spir-
it and confidence upon the contest Ii all work ear
ne,tly and perseveringy, success is not only within
our reach but is moral certainty. Let us commence
the needlul work Immediately, and cease not our la
bors until patriotism is rewarded by the election of
Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal liamlin TO the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency of these United States"
From the Buffalo Commercial .4drertiser.
(Fillmore American):
where then, lies the path of duty? Mr.. Lincoln
is nominated by powerful party. His success is
than possible. 1t has strong probabilities in hi,
favor fhc is not personally Objectionable il there
is no reason in the man himself, why he should not
merit tile support and Endorsement OF honest national
men, then il is the plain duty OF every old Wing ahd
American who hopes to do anything for his country
in this campaign to come up squarev to the flag and
pledge to Abraham Lincoln all the aid and comfort
which n true mans help give him. Mr.. Lincoln
has not that long experience in public service which
we could have wished st he has something better in
the stroig sagaclous Alnd cool aud unshakng nerve
and intelligent familiarity with public measure, which
lie at the bottom Of all true statemanship. We con-
ceive il to be our duty to place the names Of Lincoln
tht will extend to them such honorable and faith
fut support Ms may belong 10 our position and tiu.

From the New York Ecening Post.
$50 far as we can judge, the called Democratic
party regard Mr.. Lincoln rs n candidate whom il will
be hard to beat His chance of carrying Illinois against
Douglas, we believe they regard It's more than even
and ~ this they make no mistake. They begin, in
ihis quarter NJ least to talk Of abandoning Douglas rs
candidate and letting Lincoln sweep Illinois without
opposition take up Governor Seymour and make "A
stand for New York We are content, for our own
part, with that arrangement with any other they
choose to make. Ii they think that Mr.. Lincoln will
not be suppo ted in his State with enthusiasm if
they think that the tiime of that zeal which b!azes
every where else in the free States will not kndle the
hearts OF the people of New York, we are willing to
leave item 10 their error ii they are undeceivei bv
the elections. II is written un the tablet of destiny
that Lincoln Is 10 Be the neIt President Of The United
States"
