-Rejoieings and demonstrations over
the Chicago nominations continue to be
made throughout the country. At Wash
ington, on the Saturday evening after the
nomination, there was mass meeting large
ly attended Speeches were made by Han
nibal Hamlin, the nominee for Vice-Presi
dent, Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, Mr..
Washburn. of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Camp
bell, of Pennsylvania. An attempt was
made to break up the meeting by demo-
cratic rowdies, but their valor was notequal
to their will; they were soon dispersed, and
the proceedings of the meeting were
continued without further Interruption
One hundred guns were fired in Whining
ton, Delaware. on Saturday, in honor of the
Republican nominees. Other towns, ''too
numerous to MENTION throughout the
North, East and West, INDUCED in bonfires,
music and salutes of hundred guns.
Probably no such general and spontaneous
rejoicings over a Presidential nomination
were ever known in this country.
The Boston Herald, democratic or
gan, speaks as follows of the work of the
Republicans at Chicago
1.-THE nomination., in many respects, is a
strong one, and will be difficult to defeat,
and those who fiatter themselves that the
democrats are to walk over the Presidential
course with ease will find themselves mis-
taken. The Convention at Chicago has Civ
en- evidence of shrewdness, no less in the
nomination of Mr.. Lincoln than in the plat
form ADOPTED which is progressive without
being ultra, and unless it is met by plat
form equally plain and ineligible it will re-
quire no prophet to interpret the handwri-
ting on the WALL"
Senator Seward has written a letter to
the Republican Central Committee of New
York ia response to an invitation to be pres
ent at grand Republican demonstration in
New York, in which he endorses the ac-
ton of the Chicago Convention, fully and
unequivoeally, as follows
81 find in the resolutions of the Conven
vention, platform as satisfactory to me as
if il had been framed with my own hands,
and in the candidates adopted by it, emf
nent and able Republicans, with whom [
have cordially co-operated in maintaining
the principles embodied in that excellent
creed. 1 cheerfully give them sincere and
earnest support.
81 trust, moreover, that those with whom
have labored so long, that common SER
vice in noble cause has created between
them and myself relations of personal friend
ship unsurpassed in the experience of Pc
litical men, will indulge me in a confident
belief, that no sense of disappointment will
be allowed by them to hinder or delay, or
in any way embarrass the progress of that
cause the consummation of which is de-
manded by patriotic regard to the safety
and welfare of the country, and the best in
terests of mankind"
The correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Free Democrat, writing from Chicago du-
ring the session of the Republican Conven-
ton has the following
Considerable amusement was caused in
the fremont this evening by an argument
between a Republican delegate, and prom
inent Douglas politician. After coneidera
BILE discussion, the Douglas man denied that
the bred Scott decision carried slavery into
the territories and defied the Republican to
prove it.
81 refer you to Buchanan's message
said the Republican.
ooh ~ replied the Douglas man, ''come
now, quote respectable authority, cant you?'
AT this juncture an indignant Kansas del |
egate, who recognized Douglas friend as
the former leader of band of Missouri
Border Ruffians, accused him of that fact,
and on its admission kindly offered to kick
him down stairs, whereupon the friend of
the. little giant quietly withdrew"
eve venture 10 say declares the Gin
cinnati Gazette, ''that there is not in the
whole West a man who stands higher in
popular confidence than Old Abe Lincoln. |
He is man of the people. He has risen
by the force of his own energy from the po-
sition of fatboatman to the honored head |
of the Illinois bar. He is man whom no
obstacle could iutimidate, no defeat check,
no misfortune embitter. A man whose life
is synonym of honesty, capability and en-
ergy, is A be Lincoln.
Archbishop Hughes, and the Roman
Catholic Bishop of ST. Johns, participated
in Douglas demonstration, at New York,
a few evenings since. The Boston Pilot,
the organ of the Catholics in the United
States, has advocated Douglas nomination
for the Presidency for many months; and
it is generally known that the great mass of
the Catholic Irish are devotedly attached to
Mr.. Douglas.
Monday, preceding the nomination at
Chicago. one of Lincoln's friends wrote
him a note saying ''that his prospects were
improving, and that an arrangement here,
or pledge there, would, at the last mo-
