1t would be idle to attempt TO disguise tho
disappointment which the people of this State
feel at the failure at the Chicago Convention TO
place in nomination for President the candidate
of their ogr State. But there can be no doubt
that the nomination which was made Is regard
ed as the very next choice of the Republicans
OF New York. No other man. beside their own
favofito, so well represents the party in tue
great struggle cow going on as AhEam Lincoln.

From The " Y. Evsning Pos:.
Many persons viii not ind their FIRST choice
realized in the nomination nf Mr.. Liaeolu Of
Illinois, as the Republican candidate for tie
Presidency Of tie United States. Both il this,
and in other States. Mr. Seward had powerful
supporters, attached to him By sentiments Of
gratitude for his public services respect for
his personal character, aud admiration for his
talents, and these sentiments were strengthened
by the constant attacks made upon him By his
political enemies, as the Representative of the
Republican party
lie very idea Of nominating Convention,
hoHeyer implies that there Is somebody to be
disappointed. There ara always rivals for its
favor, backed by jealous friends, and the very
purpose OF the convention Is TO dissppoin. them
aiI but Que. La the present case We have
reason 10 FeJoIce that Z candidate Ia fixed upon
who Eas so many recommendations as Abram
Lincoln, whose character embraces so many
excellent qualities, and whose personal history
gives h1m so strong hold On the good will Of
the people. Mr.. Lincoln was not Unexpectedly
brought forward aud thrust upon Convention,
as more than one Of the candidates Of the
Democratic party Of late have been. He came
before that body backed by strong and en-
thusiastic party al the West; he vas known in
his own State By the usefulness and benefcenee
of his daily life, and out Of his State as QUO
who had done able service iG The cause OF the
Republican party. The zeal with which he
was supported induced the Convention 20 ez-
smine his claims, and tho majority came 70 the
conclusion that be possessed the qualities to
command the popular good will, and carry the
country against the Democratic eaDdidate.-
That they are not far wrong in this conclusion,
We think the event will prove. There many
points in his character fitted to call forth the
enthusiasm Of his party, and to unite upon him
the support of that numerous class who float
loosely between the two parties, and are found
sometimes on one side aud SUNG times on the
other, as the popular qualities Of one candidate
Or another attract their sufragea. The zeal
which the nomination has already awakened
has, we confess, somewhat surprised Us. The
Convection could have made no choice, we
think, which, along with SO many demonstra-
tions Of ardent approval, would have been met
with SO few expressions Of dissatisfaction.
So far as we can judge, the so-called Demo-
cratic party regards Mr. Lincoln as candidate
whom it will be hard to beat. His chance of
carrying Illinois against Douglas, We believe,
they regard as more than even, aud in this they
make no mistake. They begin, in this quarter
at least, 10 talk OF abandoning Douglas as q
candidate, and letting Lincoln sweep Illinois
without opposition, take up Gov. Seymour, and
make a stand for NeW-York. We are content,
tor our own part, with tha. arrangement, or
with any other they choose to make. If they
think that MIR. Lincoln viii not be sup
ported 10 this State with enthusiasm, If they
think thai the fame Of that zeal which blazes
everywhere else in the Free States viii not
klndie the hearts Of the people of Na9-York,
We are willing To leave them TO their error til
'neB are undeceived by the elections. il is
