The special dispatch to the N. Y. Times
says: E.Is
The reception Of the news of Lincoln's
nomination, at Chicago threw the House
of Representatives into such excitement as
to suspend business for some. minutes
Everybody was delighted. Even Mr.. Sew
ards warmests admirers pronounced the
nomination most able and malicious.
Judge Douglas and his friends think it the
heaviest blow the Democracy has yet re-
ceiyed, and say that by tomorrow night
there will not be a tarsbaHel or a pound
of powder in Illinois
Weclip as follows from the Tri5une's
special Washington dispatch:
9 ASIDE from the disappointment occa-
stoned to Mr.. Stewards friends, who were
confident of success to the last moment,
Mr.. Lincolp's name has been received with
a general expression of favor and rejoice
ings and is regarded as furnishing every
assurance of victory. ss2--s.=-
Mr.. Douglas spoke of him in presence of
Republicans and Democrats, as an up
right, gifted and popular candidate who
had great strength IN the Northwest, and
would carry Illinois against any other can
didate but himself, by 10000.
The conviction has already spread that
the whole Northwest and East are certain
beyond doubt. Pennsylvania and New
jersey take the nomination kindly, and
with the tariff plank of the platform in
tend to win. @is-5s
Mr.. Toombs and others, who were here
tofore well-disposed toward Mr.. Douglas.
consider this nomination as disposing of
him effectually because his main preten-
sion in the Free States, rested upon his al
legged strength in the Northwest, which is
now, completely extinguished. On this
score there is hardly difference of opin-
ion, because the States which preferred Ell
ther Mr.. Seward or Mr.. Bates 10 that sec
ton, concur through their representatives
here in the belief that Mr.. Lincoln will call
out larger vote than either:
Another special dispatch says
The nomination of Mr.. Lincoln has
been received with remarkably unanimous
and hearty expressions of satisfaction by
the Republican members of Congress.
The Democratic members are equally
unanimous in asserting that Mr.. Seward
should have been taken. The conviction
iseyeywhere expressed that Mr.. Lincoln
will make clean sweep in the Northwest,
carrying every State in that section.
The opinion that no man has been nam
ed among all the candidates who possesses
greater running qualities than Mr.. Lin
coin, finds prompt assent in all quarters
Mr.. Hamlin is considered a wholly unex-
ceptionable candidate, and one possessing
unquestionable elements of popularity,
with-no drawbacks.
All things considered, the action of the
Convention is regarded as eminently sat
isfactory. The enthusiasm of the North
western men knows no bounds.
The special Washington dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette is as follows:
The Republicans are generally pleased
with the nomination of Lincoln. Mr..
Stewards friends feel somewhat sore, but
they will heartily support the ticket. Wes-
tern men are elated beyond measure, and
Pennsykanians are delighted. They say
Lincoln will carry their State by haud
some majority. New England Represeu-
tatives are satisfied.
The Democrats pronounce the ticket a
strong one; and the friends OF Douglas say
he is the only man to face this bold and
popular move.
Mr.. Douglas upon hearing the news re-
marked ::"Lincoln and I-had hard words
when we run for the U. S. Senate in 1853,
but he is able and honest"
1t is reported here tonight that Ever
ett positively declines the nomination for
Vice President, rendered by the Baltimore
Convention
