groups are gathered on State street and
Broadway, discussing the subject of the
nomination. The announcement Of the
nomination was entirely unexpected by the
Republicans of this city. They were con-
fdent that VIM. H. Seward was to be the
man, and when it was announced that Lin
coin was the nominee, feeling of disap
pointment was manifest. At first the intel
ligence was not credited, but these doubts
were of short duration. This feeling still
exists, but they say that they will abide by
the decision of the Convention. and give
Lincoln hearty and cordial support.

now fairly walked up, and the widest ex-
element prevails in regard to the nomina-
ton of Lincoln. State street is a perfect
sea of FIRE from burning tar barrels. The
whole heavens are illuminated with a red
glare, cannon is firing, music is playing,
and the people are shouting on State street
and Broadway. Both streets are. literally
jammed with men of all parties, who are
earnestly discussing the action of the Con-
ton. The Republicans of the city are now
more reconciled to the nomination, and
unite in hearty approval of it. They con-
slider that while Lincoln may not be as
strong in the State as Seward, he will be
less objectionable throughout the Union
Since the reception of the successful laying
of the Atlantic cable, no more animated
scene has ever been witnessed in this city
than has been seen this evening. The firing
of guns and the illumination of the princi-
pal thoroughfares has called out thousands
of people, and the excitement is at the
highest pitch.
