REPUBLICAN NOMINEES The Republican
Convention at Chicago has nominated Abram
Lincoln, of Illinois, as their candidate for
President, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine,
as their candidate for Vice President. The
nomination of Lincoln was probably the re.
suit of the anticipated nomination of Doug
las at Baltimore, the Republicans imagining
that with Lincoln they could carry Illinois
and other western States as against Douglas.
We think the Republicans made a very
bad mistake in taking Lincoln in preference
to Seward, They have gained nothing on the
score Of ultraism, for Lincoln is fully as ultra
as Seward, while he has not that breadth of
statesmOnship nor that long experience in
the higher walks Of public life, which COM
mand so much respect for Seward among the
masses of the people not particularly opposed
to his principles. No man in the ranks Of
the party could command so much enthus.-
asm as VIM. H. Seward, and, if the party
were determined to have an extreme, full
blooded, "irrepressible conflict" Republican,
they should have had the greatest of the
great in their ranks, and Seward was their
man. We are very glad he was not nomi-
mated.
As for Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, his
history is we'll known, and nobody need de-
sire more thorough Republican than he.
The ticket will be very easily beaten, by a

we are no Democrat if we do not subscribe
to the entirety of the Dred Scott decision,

We are Just as anxious to subscribe to the
entire thing as ~ Express is, but, bless its
soul, don't it know that there is n difference
of opinion among Democrats as to that por
ton Of the Opinion which relates to Terri
torial Sovereignty, and that two wholly diff
ferent constructions are put upon it? The
Express says it can't see how language could
be palmer, g. that it is susceptible Of but one
construction. There are some very big men,
intellectually, in this Union, who think that
the language might be good deal palmer,
and they put an entirely different construc-
ton upon it to what the Express does. II is

MISS DAvENPoRT.-This renowned TRACE
dienne has been playing to almost fabulously
large houses, at San Francisco. We expect
her in this city, ere long, and we have con-
fdenee enough in the good taste and discrim-
ination of our people to believe that she will
draw crowded houses. Miss Davenport is
undoubtedly one Of the great queens of the
tragic stage. She is in the maturity of her
extraordinary genius-has a voice of sur
passing depth and beauty-a commanding
tgure-a face full of expression-a grace Of
movement seldom equalled, and a conception
of character which makes her impersonations
most startlingly real. Miss Davenport excels
in the great naturalness of her acting, in
fervor and pathos and the full strength Of
passion. Tears are not strangers to the eyes
of her auditors, on very many occasions, and
the deep hush which attends her intenser
portrayals well witness what a ROVER it is
which she wields. But, it is not necessary
that We should tell the public who Miss
Davenport is. 1t is enough that we inform
the admirers of the drama that she is coming.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST l.

FtRE-At about half past ten o'clock last
night, a cry of "fre" was raised, and two
frame houses, in the rear of the Foundry, on
Fourth street, were observed to be in a blaze.
The Gremen were on the ground in an in
credible space Of time, and, though the wind
was blowing strongly, they succeeded in pre-
venting any further spread Of the flames.
The buildings consumed were unoceupied,
and the fire is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary. One of the buildings belonged
TO Geo. Chinn and the other to 10. Emmel
We noticed that the Scott Cadets, militia

pcned to be on parade at the Pavilion, at tn,

SEcEDERs' MEErfNG-Judging from the ac
counts in the San Francisco papers, the rati-
fcation meeting held by the Seceders in that
city on Saturday evening, was not very en-
couraging to those who got it up. The crowd
numbered between eighteen hundred and
two thousand persons, a large portion of
whom' (some papers say one half or more,)
were opposed to the meeting. This was made
manifest by the votes-the "noes" of those
in opposition, frequently preponderating over
the "ayes" of the Breckenridge meu. The
resolutions however, were declared carried.
The speakers were frequently interrupted,
and one Of them, Calhoun Benham. got
"wrathy." The Call says "there was not
any manifestation of enthusiasm and very
little feeling of interest was exhibited, The
chilling influence of division upon the usual
exuberanee of the Democracy was very ap-
parent, and when the meeting adjourned at
half-past o o'clock not q single cheer was
sent up"

So far as this county (Calaveras) goes.
every sign indicates that the Douglas wing
will be in the majority. The Seceders are
not appreciated at half their own estimated
importance by the people. They cannot ex-
plain away the fact that they are disorgani-

usages when they happen to disturb their
