OPINIONS OF DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS.
From The Journal Of Com merce
Willie we have desire TO deif act from Mr.. Lin
coins position a respectable citizen of Illinois, we
are NOT aware that he possess es in any considerable
degree tie qualifications demanded for elevated a
position os that OF ChietMagistrate of the United
States. Probably attempt will be made to raise a
factions issue; 10 present MIN honest Abe Lincoln
nominated in the Wigwam, tie candidate who can
"spit rails and maui the Democrats There will be
a great excitement throughout the land, and "Wig-
wams" will be built now, log-cabns in l8iO;
the passions instead of the Judgment Of the people will
be appealed to- and the attention of the public diverted
as far possible, from the real issues before the
country.
From tie Nr- York Herald.
The conduct of the Republican party in this nomina
ton is remarkable indication Of small intellect, grow
ing smaller. They pass over Seward Chase and
Banks who statesmen and able men, and they take
up fourth-rate lecturer who cannot speak good gram
mar and who, TO raise the wind, delivers his hack
neyed, iliterate compositions at 500 apiece. Our
readers will recoec that this peripaetc politician Wis
tied Newiork two OF three months ago on his imam
cal tour when, in return for the most unmitigated
trash irterlarded with coarse and clumsy Jokes he
filed his empty pockets with dollars coined out of Re-
publican fanaticsm. IT, after he becomes President of
the United States the public finances should fail, he
set out upon lecturng mission through the coun
try taking Horace Greeley along with him. He uay
thur reptnsh collapsed Treasury. If people will
exchange their loose dimes for the instruction or the
pleasure derived from his eloquence, they may be in
duced TO pant with some of their cash in the of
patriotism, and to the nation from bankruptcy
AN event which is very likely to happen if the Repub
licans get hold Of the nations purse.
The only other thing for which Lincoln has been
distinguished beside his nerant ecturng is his defeat
by Douglas in his State, at time when the ticket
of the Republican party had 1000 majority over the
Democracy in Illinois. In his Anti-Shyery opinions
he II the ultra and revolutionary OF all the cand
dates whose introduced at Chicago; and
in the campaign in which he beaten he gave utter
ance to the most violent sentiments, and went the

Al such a nomination the Democrats have good
10 rejoice. They have clear road now before
them, and nothing arrest their onward march 10
victory if they are only true 10 themselves. Their
stars luckier to them than they deserve. They
have the game in their hands if they will suppress
their insane quarrcls and unite upon "A single candidate
be he Douglas or Dickinson Lane, but not Guthrie
Hunter, or Breckenridge, or any Southern man.
FINN TIE Day Book.
The nomination of Lincoln at Chicago Is formlda-
Bile one probably more than would be that of any
other man who has teen named iii connection with il.
IL N az distinctly ard un:i kable Ant-Slavery
would tie nomination ul seward or Cbasc; but Lin
coin actually rclcsen;s far dangerous phase Of
AnShyeIyism than either of the former, or, indeed,
than Giddings or Garrinon. He emUodes system
rather than sentiment, and bile far more likely to
deceive and delude the than Seward Chase,
his administration, If le should b. elected, would be
far dangerous to the South. and therefore to the
safety OF the Union.
Lincolns nomination is considered challenge to the
Democrats to nominate Douglas when their Conven-
ton reassembes at Baltimore. Little doubt ID enter
tained that the challenge will be accepted and that
Douglas will he put in the field. The Seward men in
this city do not conceal their vexaton and they openly
say that, If either Douglas Houston be nominated at
Baltimore the State of New-York will 20 against the
Chicago nominee by large majority.
From The N y Sunday dlds
The nomination of Lincoln aud Iiamlin will be
received with immense enthusiasm in the West where
they can hardly fail TO make a clean sweep IL will
therefore, be the most AFFECT folly for the Democratic
party to nominate Douglas with the expectation of his
carrying single Northwestern State. Lincoln can
carry Illinois the head of Douglas by at least ten
thousand majority. The whole fight as far US the
North II concerned has been transferred TO the Middle
States of New-York, New-Jeney, and Pennsylvania.
Here, ;oo will be the only locality where the Bell and
Everett ticket will operate TO the disadvantage of the
Republicans. In the West the latter ticket Will hardly
be known.
The three Middle States we have mentioned can all
be carried by the Democracy if proper candidate is
selected but that candidate If not Stephen A. Douglas
who would he beaten in each of these States by |
thousands Of votes. Give us Seymour or Guthrie, or
both of item, md the battle will surely be won for the
Democracy and ia principles. Ii the Baltimore Demo.
ratio Convention will nominate lIorao Seymour for
he Presidency, he will TO certainty receive the vote
If the State Of New-York which, added TO the entire
vote oi The South, would be for such candidate
he victory Tor the Democratic party will be as sure as
he Tlsing OF the sun the election day.
IL IL quite time for all true Democrats who desire I,
ee The Republican party beaten, and the standard of
lie Democracy once more triumphant in the Union TO
top talking about the nomination of Douglas The |
nndwiiung on the wall 10 which we would call the
ttention Of the delegates who are TO assemble al Bal
more on the 18th June, il thus interpreted by US
douglas ana Deieat-Seymour and Success 90
From The n. Y Sunday Times
we certainly anticipated the nomination OF Senator
eward 1T the Republican Convention, and possibly
