AZ the mention of the name Lincoln the air was rent
with the shouts Of the thousands who responded 10 the
call Of Three cheers for Abraham Lincoln:
Mr.. ScUDDER proceeded to support the ticket In a
brief but effective speech. He said that the great talk
now was that the Union was soon 10 be dissolved.
There was DO danger if kept safe and prudent men
1t the helm trained in the in the school OF the
principles of Jefferson and Madison. Under Lincoln
and Hsnlip the union and harmony of the United
Stsses would be restored and perPetuated. 1t was
MANY years since we had had really Northern man
in the Presidential chair man who had any idea that
there such things as snags IN our rivers which re-
qured TO be removed, that mechanics required
20 be protected in their industry. Such mao we
should have in Abraham Lincoln, and his Admiustra-
ton must meet with the commentator OF all the wies
and virtuous in the land, and have healing influence
upon the popular discord now agitating the
country. Living in the territory consecrased
70 freedom by the ordinance IN e OF f%, aOr a.
the Territories. He had met the Little Giant OF the
West in debate and had beaten him al that. This
great Republican party would that all kinds Of prop
rty should be protected; not that the interest Of any
.aiticular Kind should control all the rest Hitherto
the interest of slave property had engrossed the care OF
the Government, and all other property had been sac.
In the States where it is and in the same way as
our laws protected property in steam boats aud
horses Lincoln and Hamin conld only be elected by
the people. the Union was In danger Of dissolution,
which he did not believe nothing would add more TO
e danger then 10 throw the election into the House OF
Representatives. Only see what difficulty the House
of Representatives had had in electipg Speaker The
terrible contes. which would ensae If the else ion
should be thrown into the House of Representatives
would all be avoided if Lincoln and Hamln were
elected by the people. CheeIsl.

an Wide Awake costume,
The Hon. Mr. MARSH after announcing that the
Speaker Of the House present three tremendous
cheers for Mr. PenningtoDl, gave glowing account
of the scene az Chicago on the nomination OF Lincoln
He concluded by introducing
Senator Ten EYcK who said that if there was any
one thing which more apparent than any other
IL was that they were wide awake. They should be
wide awake. The oec aston demanded that they shoud
be wide awake. Their fathers had been wide awake
bsfore them. George Washington was wide awake
when be crossed the Delaware by night, and took the
Hessian horde in the morning. Henry Clay was wide
awake-tbe friend of the American Unon, standing
for years her noblest champion. Daniel Webster was
wide awake when he broke down the nullihers. VIM.
Pennington wide awake when a man OF about his
size walked up into the Speakers chair, and by his
dignifsd department and urbanty Of manners
sdlenced the discOrd which was threatening dis
union, and brought order ont OF chaos. HANNIBAL
Uamlin was wide awake when ne abandoned the
false Democracy, choosing rather TO suffer afllcton
need be- with the people Of the opposition rather than
dwell any longer in the tents Of the wi,ked CHEERS
And last though not least Abraham Lincoln was wide
awake when be met very little giant In 1875 over
