the nominations of the National Convention They
will command the united support Of all who cherish
devotion TO the principles of the Republican party.
1t would be idle to attempt to disguise tbs dsap-
rointment which the people Of this State feel at the
failure of the Chicago Convention to place in nomua-
ton for President the candidate of their own State.
But there can be no doubt that the nomination which
was made is regarded az the very next choice Of the

| The State of New-io,k presented the Eare Of an
honored able and worthy statesman TO the Chicago
Convention for the sufrages Of that body. Her dele
| cation was unit in support Of that gentleman; and
10 honorable effort spared by any portion OF them
10 secure his nomination. In consideration of his abil-
ity ntdgty and devotion to freedom they hoped for
avo rabe result. But the majority q the Conyen-
ton all bough acknowledging the eminent services and
talents of Mr.. Seward did not think proper 70 plare
his name at the head of the ticket. The Republicans
of New-York will aeqniesce in this decision and spare
no efforts to secure the election Of the nominee.
| Abraham Lincoln is a man not unknown TO gie peo-
pie of the United St,hes. His was quite slniar
to them before hs contest with Douglas, in 1888. That
campaign gave him reeniae Mt position in American
politics. Although defeated in the struggle for the
Senatorsbip it is conceded by his opponents that he
was full match for the Little Giant in the fields Of
contryersy while his friends insin at on every ocaa-
lion when they met on a conmon pLaform before the
rpeople Lincoln came off the victor. From the close Of
hat unparalleled contest, Mr.. Lneolrs name has been
'reaaetay mentioned in connection with the Presidency
| and yicefresdency.
In Office or out Abraham Lincoln has preserved an
unimpeachable record. No STAN rests npon his pri-
yate or public character In his hands the Executive
Office will be disgraced by chcanery or corruption.
but its duties will be discharged with Integrity Of par
pose and with a sole desire TO promote the honor aud
well-teing of the nation.
The nomination of Mr. Hamlin for Vice~Rfesldent is
one that was eninently fit to be made. No man In
public life Washington is ent tied 10 the public
esteem ard confidence than he. His ofhcLa and pri-
vate record contains spot or blemish.
This ticket will be elected! While tie nominees

little doubt exists Of the fulflment of the promise.
From TIE Troy Daily Times
Mr. Lincoln is representative Western nan; one
who owes what he is to his own exertons,- ard who
comes fresh from the ranks Of the people. He s not
vet occupied national positioa-but his gallant
for the Illinois Senatorship against Douglas whom he
overcome on the popular vote, gave him prominence
and character and indicated his immense resources.
Mr. Lincoln is a candid devoted and earnest advo-
cate of Republican principles indeatigable worker.
and be is free from all those prejndces which weaken
and overthrow great men who have been long IN the
field of politics.
With united effort and undivided zeal. the election
of the Illinois rail candidate viii be certain.
