Hannibal HamIln.

Hannibal Hamlin is a native of Paris,
Oxford County Maine. He was born in
1920, and is consequently, of the same age
as Abraham Lincoln-ffty one. Mr.. Ham
lin was au eminent member of the Demo-
cratic party until 1854.
From 1886 to 1910 he was a member Of
the Legislature Of Maine and Speaker Of
the House
In lS43 he was sent to Congress and re-
elected for a second term.
In lS48 he became member of the U.
States Senate by appointment of the Gov
ernor, and in 1851 was chosen senator a
full term When the Nebraska Bill was in-
troduced into the Senate by Senator Dong
las, Mr.. Hamln refused tosupport it. He
was denounced by his former political friends
and degraded from the Craftsmanship of
the Committee on Commerce. position
he had filed with great ability. lie soon
gave in his adhesion to the Republican par
ty, and was almost Immediately reelected
to the United States Senate for six years.
A more honest aud upright man than
Hannibal Hamlin does not live He POS
sesses great experience in public, is firm
and dgnifed in his manner, and fully i'm
pressed with the great mission Of the Re
publican party.
Mr. Hamlin was bred a mechanic, but
commenced the study of law soon after his
majority In person he is of medium height,
Of modest demeanor, with a grave aud
thoughtful countenanee. We think he has
40 enemies, so courteous aud considerate
are his relations to those around him. He
will preside over the Senate with dignity
and efficiency.

The National Union Nominations.

SIGNrFICAYT-No New York conservative
press has yet put up the ticket nominated at
Baltimore. The Troy Whig, one of the most
faithful and reliable organs of national senti-
ment, after copying explanation of the reticence
manifested in this State, says:
Names will be presented and receive more or
less support in the Republican Convention at
Chicago, which the Conservative and American
vote of this and all the Northern States, at least
would rally for support We have less conf
dence than the Commercial seems to have how
ever, that such names will be successful before
that Convention That they may be- is posi-
BILE, and upon the event, yet depends the future
course of the great bulk of those who supported
Mr. Fillmore in 1856, in this and other States
Much as we think of John Bell and Edward
Everett,-gladly as we would, if we could, seize
the power which would elevate them to the
offices for which they have been named, we
have no Intention of giving them vote which
would be merely complimentary, whereby the
success of other men equally National true, and
devoted to the whole union, would be endangered.
The Baltimore Patriot a sterling and unwa
vering friend of national harmony, holds the fol-
lowing language:
With the gentleman named we 10 Maryland
are perfectly content if they can receive, as they
undoubtly ought to receive the endorsement
and support Of the Opposition in the Northern
States. In the Southern States there is not the
slightest difficulty people there opposed to
Democracy will and can Uote for no one else.
Bell and Everett are the names which can have
the undivided support of the Southern Oppos.
ton but until we find they can get also the
votes sfthe Northern army, it would be hoping
against reason and experience, we fear, to look
for their election. That they ought to be elect
ed, no man here opposed to Democracy will
doubt and If the Convention at Chicago will
do either one of two things, their election seems
almost certain The first Of these things is to
adopt these gentleman az their candidates, and
thus make them the United Opposition, where
election is sure beyond doubt and the other
thing is to make such an Objectionable nomina-
tioD as to disgust and drive away the support
they are otherwise sure to have in the Northern
States.
! If we can have, as we ought to have, the sup
port of the Northern Opposition for Bell and
Everett their triumphant election is certain, and
a restoration Of better days. Otherwise, their
fate will be what the fate Of good men has been
before,-what the fate Of Fillmore and Donelson
was 10 1856.
To such remarks as these, from such sources,
we appeal for our justification in "waiting yet a
little" before we consent to become party on
the losing side Of hopeless controversy.
The above is taken from the BUFFALO Con-
MERcIAL, heretofore American organ, and
and which since the Chicago nominations, has
raised its banner inscribed with the names ol
] LNCoLE and HAMLIN.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, May l4th, 1861
FRIEND REED Since first came west,
have not seen such season as we are now haV-
ing 1t rains all around US, but noue comes
here. Gardens and fields suffer severely from
drouth. On the 9th and 9th inst, the thermom-
eter indicated 80 degrees in our room, which is
a cool one.
The winter past was very dry and cold at
times, and as a result much of the winter wheat
was killed. In fact, from what have seen, |
do not believe there will be one half as much
winter wheat harvested this season 10 Pike
County, ILL.,, as was sown last fall. am glad
to see, however, that wheat looks SO well east
of the Illinois River, through the central por-
tions of the state and learn from inquiry oi
farmers from other portions, that in Egypt there
is promise Of a good crop, and that as far north
as Bloomington, it promises well, but north oi
that and between the Illinois and Mississippi
Rivers II is mostly winter killed. 1t is impos-
sible at present to have any definite idea ol

The No,v EncInnd CnttIe disease.

The fatal cattle distemper which appear
ed in Massachusetts the latter part Of last
winter is still spreading in defiance of the
slaughter Of exposed animals and the strict
est sanitary regulations. At South Brook
field, Sturbridge, New Braintree and other
towns, the cattle in large herds are found
to be infected, and it is feared the disease
has been carried as far north as New Hamp-
shire.
The people Of Connecticut are alarmed
by the appearance of the cattle disease in
Wndham county, in towns bordering the
Massachusetts line, and the Hartford and
New Haven papers call for legislative ac-
tion and sanitary Gordon. A special COM
mittee has been appointed in the legislature
on the subject of cattle disease. In some
Of the exposed towns, cattle from the in
fected districts are refused passage on the
roads, and school district committees have
been appointed to insulate every district
and farm. The fear Of the spread of the
disease extends to Canada and the Mon
treal Gazette recommends putting off all
communication, 10 regard to cattle, with
the infected districts.
The plan of innoculation is said to have
disarmed the disease in Holland of all its
terrors, and its trial in Massachusetts is
urged

plausible but there is another argument more
potent we think than either Of those alu ded to,

of abolition, dead or alive, to its instincts of
shedding light upon, and ameliorating the con-
dition of per-bind and naughty world.
