THE REPUBLICAN NOMNEEs.-The Sacramento
Union, a paper rather inclined to Republcanism,
although neutral speaks of the Chicago nomi-
nees in a style which leads the reader to suppose
that Lincoln and Hamlin were not its choice for
President and Vice President The Union says
But with the mass of the Republicans, Seward
is great tavorite, and his nomination would
have aroused an enthusiasm not to be anticipated
from that of Lincoln. If desperately opposed
he would have been as desperately supported by
bis friends. His failure to obtain the nomination
will seriously disappoint a great many of the
ardent members OF the party.
The assertion that Seward IS great favorite
with Republicans may be correct, but our candid
opinion is that Lincoln would poll more votes in
the State Of California to day, than VIM. II. Sew
ard. If the Republicans of this State will not
be able to arouse any very great amount of
enthusiasm in behalf of the ticket" as the Union
predicts, we believe that very much lrea could
have been hoped for in the event of Stewards
nomination. Lincoln may be an obscure man. Of
whom bat little was seen or heard until within
the past three years, still he is far less objection
able, and will be more zeaously supported by
real Republicans than Seward. "rue Republi-
cansm is one thing Abolitionsm another.
