lFson the Evansville (1od.) Journal Conse1yssivs1
We place to-day at the head Of our columns
the name Of Abraham Lincoln Of Illinois for
president, and that Of Hannibal Hainlin Of
Maine for Vice President.
=, We do this from no sudden outbnrs. Of en-
thusiasm, but from deliberate conviction that
this is the ticket most likely to defeat the infa-
nous Administration now in power at Wash
iugton. and the one which presents the most
certainty Of success over q party that Is utter
u deuoralized by iss love Of plunder and its
subserviency TO sectional interest," We feel
{9at 1t Is the duty OF every one who loves the
coming struggle in the way which presents the
greatest prospect Of success; and in accord
ance with this prompting, We hold that in adyo--
eating the election of those persons whose
rames We have mentioned, we are performing
that duty IN the must effective manner.

Editors Press asd Tribune:
All hail TO the Chicago Convention. Thepeo-
pie are for Old Abe and nobody cares now
what Baltimore may do. The Democrats give
it mp. The doors are npen and the mouruers'
benches crowded. Some say shut the doors Is
the house is full, but the general feeling is to
let the brethren in. The Democracy is out Of
the ring, aud the contest down here is between
:"o'd Abe" and the corn crop-bets about eveu.
The feeling is intense, and you can set Illinois
down for e, 900 majority for the Peoples Can
didate.
The PnEss AND TRIBUNE By its early and able
advocacy Of Mr.. Lincoln, has rendered great
service to the Republican cause, aud you may
look cut for large circulation in Egypt.

Mr.. TERSos, ILL.,, AaT 81, tsso.
Editors Press and Tr.bute:
The Republicans here are jubi!ant over the
nomination Of Honest Old Abe Lincon, Illinois
greatest son. We celebrated the event By "big
guns" and bonfres. Although we are compar-
atiTely few in numbers, Jet the greatest ex-
citement and widest enthusiasm prevailed.
Many cheers we're given for Lincoln, Yates and
Kansas. Three groans were given for Douglas,
Utah and the Charleston Convention. They
were given with rim that astonished the
Douglasites Of this locality.
The nomination Of Lincoln has fallen like
bombahell among the Democracy here. They
expected Seward would be the nominee, and
had their cards arranged accordingly. Many
Of them looked "sorter down in the mouth, ~
when they learned that Honest Old Abe, the
great champion Of free labor-the "Abraham,"
who, as Yates said at Decatur, had offered up
Douglas on the altar of Dnfrisndky Ltgislaiioa,"
was put forward as cur representative man.
Well may they fear and tremble for the day of
retribution draweth nigh, when they will have
to giye IN account Of their stewardship, "that
they maY no longer be stewards" having shown
themselves entirely unfit to manage the affairs
Of this great nation. A. D. BARRETT.

as to meet The unqualified censure Of The mera-
bers generally: No. plantation oyersccr ever
cracked his whip, and uttered his mandates,
moro haughtily or ru1garly. At one pass many
cried shame, and the whole assembly was put
