Fornoy's Philadelphia Press thus speaks of
the nomination Of Mr. Lincolni
But t suow quito certain that II Mr. Douglas be re-
loctod 10y The Democratic Convention at Baltimore Mr.
Lincoln will sweep Illinois, Indiana, and the whole
Northwest and his election by tho people becomes, per-
haps furcgonc conclusion One thing ssure, and must
be- known 10 the Baltimore Convention and that is, that
with Douglas they triumph and that with any other
candidate defeat Is almost inevitable What the result
may be time will determine The seceders and dsuninn
iss who retired from the Charleston Convention would,
most assurcdy prefer the election Of Republican Pres
dcnt rather than the success Of Mr. Douglas bat vheth
this factions personal opposition control the
c Of the people Of the southern States remains TO be
seen"
From the New York Sunday Times dem
"rhc Democratic Convention 90 be held At baltimore
viii probably present with the of Douglas aud
the scccdjng Southern States with more imme-
datcy identified with their feelings and intercsts
Ia view oi such event. il would not be too much to
predict 1t Abraham Lincoln would be our next Pros-
dent II The democratic party VI the North aud South
continue n Us present disposition 70 separate, it can ra-
uonaiy expect no other result Divide and conquer is
an old maxim, under which which It's opponents have
wrcscd more than ono victory rom the democratic
l1rty ana they kceny alive 70 its applicability the
present occasion. In Mr. Lincoln they have presented
gentleman who will very nearly poll every vote Of the
republican PARTY and the greater portion Of that Of the
Eastern Abolitnnsts. With Douglas against him, he
would enjoy fair opportunity 20 carry Pennsylvania and
Now Jersey. lie would certainly carry New York
How much would ho' them fall short Of an election =
From tho Boston Herald: (dem.
Inc nomination. tu many respects, strong one,
and will be difficult to defeat and those who hatter
themselves that the Democrats arc 10 walk over the
Presidential course with ease will find themselves mis-
taken The Convention at Chicago has given evidence
of shrcwrncss no less IN the nomination Of Mr. Lincoln
than in the platform adopted which is progressive with
ont being ultra aud, unless il is met by platform
equally plain and ineligible Il will require no prophet
TO interpret the handwriting the wall"
From the New York Sunday atlas
"Thc nomination Of Lincoln and Iamn will be re-
ccivcd with immense euthusilsm in the West. where
they can hardly fail 70 make clean sweep. II will there
Fore be- the ahJoct folly Tor the Democratic party
mate Douglas with the expectation Of his carrying sin
gle North Western State. Lincoln can carry Illinois
the head of Douglas by nt least thousand ma
jority The whole fight far the North is
ed has been transferred 70 the Middle States Of New
York New Jersey, and Pennsylvania Here, too viii
be the ouiy locality where the Bell aud Everett ticket
will operate to the disadvantage Of the Republicans. In
the West the latter ticket will hardly be known"
