When the dispatch arrived here yesterday,
about one O'Clock. thrill of joyo1s triumph
echoed the name of Lincoln Lincoln! through
the city, and q crowd-whenee they came so
quickly no one could tell-responded to the
ringing Of The bell, and soon the Court House
resounded with loud shouts as Gen. GridIey led
of with one Of his happiest efforts. which re-
minded us Of his efforts IN days Of old, and
showed that the cid Wing spirit, though long
dormant, could be aroused, and that The old
Whige, who had SO long labored with Lincoln
against Locofocolsm, we're ret living and ready
to do battle in the Republican cause.
The General was followed By Messrs. Bricr.
Wickizcr, Hogg, Scott ard others, in short but
eloquent and appropriate addresses. We never
witnessed a more complete stn!e Of entire salts
faction in public crowd. Soon the canpon's
mouth announced. in loud peaiing tones. the
Joyous news to The surrounding country. and
loud shouts accompanied the echoes.

Many persons will not dnd their first choice
realized in the choice o. Mr. Lincalu, Of Illinois.
Of the United States. 10th in this and in other
States, a1r. Seward had powerful supporters,
attached to him By sentiments Of gratitude for
his pubii: services, respec. for lis personal
character. aad admiration for his. talents, aud
these sentiments were strengthened bv the
constant attacks made upon him by his political
enemies, Us the representative OF the Republican
party. These, Of course, cannot resign the hope
of seeing lin put forward as the choice Of the
Republican party for the Presidency without
feeling Of painful disappointment. 4 large
number Of persons, atso-less active ns politi-
cians, and less likely to be represented III po-
liticat bodies, but numerous iu the more quiet
walks of life-had fixed their thoughts upon Mr.
Chase, as noble example Of public virtue-one
who takes large views Of public policy. and gov
erns his conduct in political life by the aiste-
rest maxims Of equity, sincerity and integrity.
1t is not without modification that they hare
seen the limited support which was given to his
name in the Convention.
The yery idea Of a nominating convention
however, implies that there is somebody to be
disappointed. There are ALWAYS rivals for its
fayor1 backed by Jealous friends. and tbr verr
purpose OF the convention is to dissppoiut then,
all but one, In the present case we have reason
to rejo1ce that candidate is fixed upon who has
SO MANY recommendations as abraham Lincoln.

Democratic candidate. That they are not far
wrong in this conclusion We think tue erent will
prove. There are many points in bis character
fitted to cali forth the enthusiasm Of His psrty
and to unite upon him the tupport Of that nu-
merous class who ioat loosely between the two
parties, md urc found sometimes on one side
and sometimes on the other, as the popular
qualities Of one candidate or another attract
their sutIrages. The zeal which the nomination
has already awakened. has, we confess, Aomc-
what surprised us. Tie Convention could have
made m choice, we think, which, along With 50
many demonstrations Of ardcnt approval, would
have been met with SO fen expressions Of dis
satisfaction.

William II. Seward WIS our first choice, and

decided otherwise, aud we bow to the decision,

although Mr. Seward, whom we consider the
first grcat representative OF hepu6llcan prlncI-

tion Of Nr. Lincoln no erpednhcy candidate, but
o1e who early embraced the Kepublcan cauRc,
bus always labored consistently for its success,
has, from the beginning, stood, and stands now
fair md square On its national and conservative
platform.

GOOD feeling that characterized the Convention

are Two en,,ueut statesmen, whose honesty Of
