BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
The Black Republican Nomination..

The telegraph, yesterday afternoon.
brought news of the nomination by the Chi
cago Convention, of Mr.. LINCOLN, of ILL
nois, as the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. The result will be unexpected to al
most every body, in the South. at least; for
generally, it was supposed in this section of
the. Union, that Seward would be the man.
What elements of strength, are thought to
be in Lincoln, more than there are in Sew
ard, we do not know. We can only hope
that he and his party will be defeated, over
thrown, and demolished.
Hannibal IIamlin, of Me-, was nominated
as the candidate for Vice President.

MIR, O,CONOR.

Mr.. Charles O'COnOr has the reputation Of being
a shrewd jury-lawyer, and Ofso presenting case,
whether it be strong or weak, before Jury that
they are usually persuaded to find verdict in his
favor If we take his letter in reply to an invita-
tion to speak at Rochelle as a specimen of his
ability, our presumption would be that in any case
he should undertake he would be 80 completely
successful that the verdict of the Jury would be
that they were completely bothered but that to
the best of their belief both plaintiff and defendant
deserved haI ging. Starting after the manner of
all UniOn.sayers, with quotation from Wash
ngtOn, written with as little reference to
the present condition of affairs, ON the part
of the first President, as it has to the
last discovered planet, Mr. 0'Conor proceeds
to justify the South in doing the very thing which,
he inyOkes the words of Washington to show, is
that which above all things elte is most 10 be depre
Gated and feared. Proving the right of secession
on the part of the South, he goes to justify her,
and declares that if she does secede she should be
permitted to do 80. On this point at least We
are happy to agree with him, and when she goes
We shall be happy to reprint the letter as present
ing sensible view on that branch OF the subject.
The simple truth is Mr.. O'Conors purpose is mys-
tifcaton, and he certainly succeeds TO admir-
alton. He knows as well as We do that the Re.
publican party is moi, in any such sense as he
suggests, al Anti Slavery party. 1t opposes the
admission of Slavery into the Territories because,
with "moral and conscientious conviction that
it is an unmitigated evil, it has perfect right to
do so. But it proposes nothing else in relation to
it. Indeed he unwittingly Acknowledges that this
ia the fact, for he declares his belief that Mr..
Lincoln will be more hated Within ak months after
his election, by the Abolltionists than any other

But Gov. Moore Of Louisiana, 10 the most cautious
Of the whole crowd. In a letter to The New. Or
leans Delta he says: ct is asked, i Lincoln be

Now We call upon oil political Thonases who
banker in their hearts after the pleasure of voting
for Abraham Lincoln but whose minds have been
rouddled by the perturbatiODs Of the Stock Ex-
change, and tie dreadful forebodings of The Herald
to notice:
[. That the South is anything but unit for dis.
union.
III. That the Disuniopists themselves have not
agreed upon any contingency upon which the
standard of war must be raised.
III. That the bowls are much heavier at the
North than at the South.
From all this it is certain, and as clear as dsy
light, that the Disunon party, as SUCH does not ex-
list. Where those who hate the Republicans are the
most numerous they are furthest from agreement.
If these gentlemen choose to go to war against the
General Government, why this is a free country.
If they choose to do so without cash, or arms, or
discipline, why this liz, We soy, free country.
But if they choose to 90 to war with us, while still
at loggerheads among themselves, why this is free
country and, as to points of it, an extremely
foolish one.
