i'm the momentous contest uow so near its clearly
foreshadowed termination. Indiaua-which had
previously inclined to aud was confidently aud rea-
sonably counted on for Judge Bates-was the first
State at Chicago tOAake her place firmly and ar
IDENTIFY beside Illinois in supporting Sir. Lincoln's
pretensionp, and thenceforth her delegation was
most vehement and untirlng in commenting her
new choice. Pennsy wanna, which, unlike In

she, too, designated Mr.. Lncoln; and her de-
cison, in effect, impeed that of the Convention.
All wary politicians were aware, before 1860, how
crushing is the weight wherewith the October
Elections fall upon the party which they declare
against, in the very agony of Presidential can
vass; and when Pennsylvania and Indiana said to
the Convention, "Giye us Lincoln for President
90 and you shall hear Republican thunder from us
" in October :" their appeal could hardly be re
sisted, even had the Convention been sIubbOrnly
hostile to their preference. Moreover, the choice
Of their Delegations was heartily seconded by that
of their respective candidates for Governor, Col
Curtin and Gen. Lane, who were both on the
ground, and who their personal fate being at stake
could not be ffdyoring another than he
who was, in their judgment, the very strongest
man. How well founded was that Judgment, the
shouts of Two Millions of Republican voters are
now prOcaiming.
1t was especially desirable that PENNSYLVANIA
should take that position at the head of the Repub
cau array which she 80 nobly justified on Tuesday.
There never was imagined more conclusive an
answer than she has furnished to all the wretched
driyel of the day about "Fanaticism," "Nigger
equality" Putting the negro above the white
" man, &c, &c. The whole country does know
Pennsylvania as an eminently sober, conservative
Union-loying State, of whose Five Hundred Thou
sand Voters not Fifty Thousand have any desire to
interfere in any way with the Southern States,
their " institutions" or their negroes. They are
for Free Labor; they believe in it, they live by 1t;
they wish to see it protected encouraged devel-
oped they insist that the Territories-since they
came TO US Free-shall be confecrated to il; but
they are willing that the South shall take her own
time wherein to become convinced of its immense
superiority to the Wretched system, inherited from
Pagan baIbarsm, to which she so insanely ciDgs.
The fact that PENNSYLVANIA has declared for
Lincoln, by majority which puts her vote 10
November beyond all cayil, is certain to exert
tremendous influence in quoting the fears of the
tmid aud assuring the thrifty and cautious that the
new era now opening upon us is destined TO be
emphaticaDy one Of order and peace.
