A VOICE FROM AUBURN.

To the Editor Of The NJ Y. Tribune.
SIR: After few hours of calm reflection we are
disy osed say Amen to the nominations just made at
Chicago. Though we have worked ardently andhope-
fully for the nomination of Gov Seward, because we
have regarded him the rues exponent Of the prin-
cpes of our paryis abest defender and safest coun-
selor-yet we have too much confidence in the Wis
dom and integrity of the delegates to Chicago to doubt
for moment the fitness and strength Of the ticket
nominated.
We were not 30 much surprised at the nomination
of Lincoln as at the defeat Of Seward. Our hopes
were high prior to the assembling Of the Convention,
and our advces from Chicago together with the dis
Patch TO The TRIBUNE removed every vestige Of
doubt; so that we lily prepared for any result
other than the nomination Of our own distinguished
townsman, friend and neighbor. We sincerely regret
bis defeat but rejoice that the choice OF the Conven-
! ton fell upon honest Abe Lincoln.
There was no name before that Convention, the
mention of which will excite enthusiasm, and de-
mand and receive heartier jealous support
than that of Lincoln Had he not already earned and
enjoyed reputation for integrity capacity and states.
manEke sagacty-the great unanimity and unoousded
enthusiasm with which his nomination was made ana
received by the Convention would be sure guaranty
| that the man for the times was Abe Lincoln
certain indication of the strength and popularity OF
the ticket is found in the fact that all the Democratic
Editors in the State have gone stark mad at the result
of our Convention. and are agonzing dolefuly that
eueh men rs Seward Chase, Wade, Banks, and others
should have been put aside for Lincoln. Scores of
1 Democrats are ready to avow their willingness
10 support Seward, had he been nominated, who were
/! rampant Douglas men fortnight since. But Repub-
cans are to be duped by this affected sympathy for
Mr. Seward. No disafection will be created in our
ranks simply because Democrats dissatisfied with
1 the ticket. They discover in the Republican nominee
nan who is not only tower of strength, but not OBJ
noxous any charge whatever either against bis pri-
| yate or political character With Lincoln for our
sandsrd-bearer, the contest will be confined to the
\ principles enuncated in platform. Thus our OPP
! ponents are embarrassed in the outset.
The set speeches and sereotyped editorial slang OF
! our enemies which have been written, learned and
persistenty used with such damaging effect upon Us
Tor wears will have be entirely revamped thrown
aside altogether and their political gadators go into
sixmontbs train before they will be prepared for the
great struggle We therefore say, with hearty good
| will Hurrah for Lincoln aud Hamn!
Rest assured that, although the Republicans of Ca
yuga County and devotedy attached to Gov.
J Seward, and were for the time being shocked aud
beart-sck over his defeat nevertheless shall go into
the contest with courage and zeal and with deter
mnation that our majority shall suffer no essential
diminuon because Of disappointment. If the rest
of the State shall do much, and do well as the
{ home of Gov. Seward, all will be well.
