FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAM LINCOLN,
OF ILLINOIS.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
HANNIBAL HAMLIN,
OF MAINE.
Lincoln and Hamlin.

As will be seen by reference to re-
port of the proceedings, the Republi-
can National Convention have nomi- |
mated ADRIAN LINCOLN, honest old
Abe" Of Illinois, as candidate for the
next President of the United States
and Hannibal Iamlin, Of Maine, for
Vice President. Mr.. Seward was our
first choice for the Presidency, but as
the majority must govern, we hearth
ly and sincerely give Mr.. Lincoln our
support. The platform adopted is a
noble one, and is the embodiment of
sentiments and principles which Mr..
Lincoln has advocated for many years.
The man and the Platform are there
fore in perfect harmony. The name
of" Honest Old Abe" will awaken an
enthusiasm throughout the land that
will shake the continent-and, what
is better, he will be the next President
of the United States
OF Hannibal Hamlin, the candidate
for Vice President, we may say, that
he was formerly Democrat, and alb
solved his allegiance to that party up
on the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
misc act. In 1856 he resigned his
seat in the I. S. Senate, and was cleo
ted Governor of the State of Maine
Maine led the van in the conflict of
that year, and in September, under
the lead of young Hamlin, she electri.
fed the nation by vote of 10000
Republican majority. She was the

long and continued shout of enthusi
