OF Republicans anu Ocmocrats as an up
right, gifted and popular candidate, who
had great strength in the Northwest,
and would carry Illinois against any 9TH
err candidate but himself, by twenty
thousand.
The conviction has already spread that
the whole Northwest and East are GER
tain beyond doubt. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey take the nomination kindly,
and with the tariff plank of the platform
intend to win.
Mr.. Toombs and others who were
heretofore well disposed towards Mr..
Douglas consider this nomination as dis
posing of him effectually, because his
main pretension in the free States rested
upon his alleged strength in the North
west, which is now completely extin-
guished. On this score there is hardly
difference of opinion, because the States
which preferred either Mr., Seward or
Mr.. Bates in that section concur, through
their representatives here, in the belief
that Mr.. Lincoln will call out larger
vote than either.
All things considered, the action of
the Convention is regarded as eminently
satisfactory. The enthusiasm of the
Northwestern men knows no bounds

AT New YoRK.-The effect produced
on Change and in business circles by the
announcement of the nomination of the
Hon. Abraham Lincoln of Illinois as the
Republican candidate for the Presidency,
was not little remarkable, and should
be recorded. The publications in the
morning newspapers having caused
wide spread belief that Mr.. Seward
would unquestionably be nominated, the
Republicans received the announcement
of the result with many expressions of
surprise and disappointment. The first
feeling of disappointment over, the Re-
publicans declared that no possible
ground of objection existed against MI
Lincoln; he had been fairly nominated,
and should and would be we'll supported
The boasts of the Democrats that they
would carry this State, were derided.-

The Republicans of the city were
most enthusiastic yesterday at the receipt
of the news from Chicago. Although
8 the first choice of many was Mr.. Sc
ward, the doubt Of his success as can
didate reconciled his friends to the action
of the Convention, especially since SO ex-
cellent standard-bearer as Mr.. Lincoln
had been chosen. Last evening the Re-
publicans in most of the Wards met to
= ratify the nominations, when good feel
ing and the assurance of success anima-
: ted the audiences. The Young Mems

Campaign Club, the First Assembly
