1t seems that, after all, the great difficulty
with South Carolins and the other Cotton States
is that in the new GENIUS they don't appear as
well as they would wish to do. They have ut
20. as many people as they desire, aud SO they
arc going to secede from the Union. This is q
curious notion; and if they pursue their primo
pie faithfully TO the end, they will have to Sc
eede from the universe, also. 1t is nature and
her laws that they are fighting against, and not
merely the Constitution Of the United States.

Hannibal Hamlin.

! Hannibal Hamin, who was nominated by
the Republican Convention at Chicago, fol
Vice President, was born in Paris, Oxford
county. Maine in August 1909, and is now in
the ifty-first year Of his age. He is by pro
fession a lawyer, but for the last twenty-fouI
years has been, much of the time in political
life From 1886 to 1910, he was a membei
of the Legislature of Maine, and for three o
| those years he was the speaker of the House o.
Representatives. In lS43 he was elected q
member of Congress, and reelected for the fol
lowing term.
| In lS47 he was again member OF the State
! Legislature, and the next year was chosen tC
| fill vacancy occasioned by the death Of Johr
! Fairfield, in the United States Senate. In
| 1851 he was elected for the full term in the
same body, but resigned on being chosen Gov
ernor Of Maine, in 1857. In the same north
he was again elected to the United States Sen
ate for six years. which Office he accepted, re-
! signing the Goyernorship. He is still mem
Der Of the Senate.
| This record is an evidence OF the confidence
with which he has always been regarded by his
kfellow-citizcns of Maine.
Up to the time of the passage of the Kan
sas Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr.. Iamiin was Il
member of the Democratic party. That act
he regarded as proof that the party, with
which he had all his life been connected. no
! longer deserved the name of Democratic and
was treacherous to the principles he had SO
| long cherished. Ihcncef0rwarl he gave his
! support to the Republican party, of which he
has ever since continued faithful and distin-
guished leader,
Mr. Hamlin is a man of dignifcd presence,
of solid abilities, of unfinclring int gritty, and
great executive talent. Familiar with the
business Of legislation, he is peculiarly adapted,
by the possession Of all these qualities, to fill
bcnefcially for the country, and to his own and
his party's honor, the high post for which lie
has been nominated.
The name of Hannibal lIarl!in Of Maine, IL
a fit second to that Of Abraham Lincoln, Of
Illinois.

ocratic National Convention, TO James S
Slaughter. dated June, 1858, in which the fol

ganization of her true men for prompt resist

Never were nominations more favorably re-
ceived and enthusiastically approved than
those of LINCOLN and HANLIN. At nearly
every important point throughout the free
travagant demonstrations of qualification and
joy on the part of the Republicans, who assem-
bled in large masses to ratify the doings of the
Convention-while the booming of artillery,
brilliant iIluminatonz, torch-light professions,
glaring bon-fires, patriotic speeches and ear
splitting shouts and hnzzas, testified the uni
versal satisfaction which the nominations gave,
and afford most gratifying angury of their
triumphant endorsement at the polls There
are no dssensions in our ranks-no refractory
journals holding back on the part of un-
successful aspirants or their friends. Messrs-
Chase, Seward and Cameron heartily support
the nominations. as do also all the other dis
tinguished gentlemen whose names were before
the Convention in connection with either office

in 1856, and many prominent politicians who
aided in that movement so fatal in its eonse-
quences in few States, are now thoroughly
enlisted for the Chicago nominees and the re-
ports from the doubtful States illinois, 1ndi-
ana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey clearly
demonstrate the wisdom which controlled the
action of the Convention in the selection Of

is certain beyond peradventure.

The New York Times FOR Lincoln

| The n. Y. Times Of Saturday, contains a
| leading article from which Tie following is III
| extract
| The readers of the Times know very we'll
| that, while we thus acknowledge no mere par
tizan fc;l'ty, we have adhered steadily to Ger
tain leading principles of public Policy-tlat
we have always declared our hostility to the
extension of Slavery TO the rc-crening Of the
Slave trade; to Tie prolonged supremacy of
the Siavc-holding interest over the Federal
Government; to all attempts at interference
with Slavery in the Southern States, and to
the continuance of the feeble and corrupt Ad-
ministration, by which the best interests Of the
country are now naenaced with ruin. and its
character compromised in the eyes of all re-
flecting men, both at home and abroad. We
shall at times persac such a course as shall
seem most likely to sccrfe these ends.
When all the parties to the Presidential con-
test shall be fairly in the field, we shall be bet
ter able to decide what course it becomes indie
pendent citzcns-who love their country more
than any party-to pursue. According TO
present appearances, we have no hesitation in
saying, that the success of the Republican ticl.-
ct promises to be the only practical mo.le ofes-
Gaping dangers which menace the peace and
prosperity Of the country. 1t seems probable
that the only choice which rejecting men will
be allowed to make in the coming canvass, will
be between electing Mr.. Lincoln. and thus
committing the Federal Government TO the
hands Of an able honest and upright citizen,
or seeing the Presidency scrambled for on the
floor of Congress, and made the prize of VEN
ality, or the sport of men who speculate pro-
fessionaly in the misery and distress of their
cnnnt-u

The Nomination of mr. 1.sncoln.

The New York Post says:
So far as we judge, the so-caled demo
cratic party regard Mr. Lincoln as a candidate
whom it will be hard to beat. His chance oil
carrying Illinois against Douglas, we believe
they regard as more than even, and in this
they make no mistake. They begin, in this
quarter at least, to talk of abandoning Mr..
Douglas as candidate, and letting Mr.. Lin
coin sweep Illinois without opposition, take up
Governor Seymour, and make stand for New
York. We are content, for our own prrt,
with that arrangement or with any other they
choose to make. If they think that Mr.. Lin
coin will not be supported in this State with
enthusiasm, if they think that the flame of that
zeal which blazes every where else in the free
states will not kindle the hearts of the people
of New York, we are willing TO leave them to
their error till they are undeceived by the cleo
tions 1t is written on the tablet of destiny
that Lincoln will be the next President of the
United States.

The General Conference q the N. E..

The General Conference Of the NJ. E.
Church, in session at Buffalo since the first Of
May, will close its labors the present week.
The session has been one of unusual interest
the subject which attracted the most attention
being the proposed change of the discipline as
regards slavery. The committee having charge
of the subject made two reports-the majority
report proposing to change the existing rule
on slavery so as to make the buying, selling
or holding of men, women or children, with an
intention to enslave them," d cause for exclu-
sion from church membership the minority re-
port opposing any change. The vote on the
majority report stood ayes 1873, nays IA. A
two-thirds vote being necessary to success, and
the ayes lacking len of that number, there will
be no change. On all questions where a ma
jority vote prevailed the progressives triumph
cd. DR.. Kingsley, who made the majority
report, was elected Editor Of the Western
Christian Advocate and DIR. Thomson, one
Of the most prominent advocates of it's adop-
ton, is chosen Editor of the New York Ad-
vocate & Journal beating the present Editor.
DR.. Stevens, who is the recognized leader of
the conservatives--the result iDsuring a radi-
cal change in the tone of that influential Jour-
nal on the subject upon which the two divis-
ions of the Conference so widely differ.
1t was concluded not to elect any additional
Bishops at present-and the name of the Del
aware Conference changed to West Ohio.

THE SLAVE TRADE OPENED IN New
WAY.-I learn that the Government has re-
ceived information that the fishermen off the
coast of Florida and South Carolina are in the
habit of running over to Cuba, on the pretence
of disposing of their fish, and returning with
two or three native Africans, bought there at
a low figure which they dispose of, at great
advance to parties who meet them on the
coast, purchase the negroes, and take them in
TO the interior. This gross and notorious vio-
latou of law has been going on for some time
and it remains to be seen whether any step,
will be taken to arrest it.-Wdsh- Cor. Phila-

On the receipt of the news of the nomina-
tion of Lincoln and Hamlin at Washington,
the members of the Republican Associa ton
secured the services of Band and repaired
to the residence of Mr.. Hamlin for the pur-
pose of sercnadng him. Several speeches
were made and during ono of them the speak
cr and audience were insulted and the pro-
ceedings Interrupted by lot of rufians be-
longing to the city, the police making no eff
fort to preserve order. \ few days after,
when the bill making appropriations for the
District was up in the House, OF motion Of
Mr.. Stanton the item for the payment Of the
city police was stricken out. This act had a
most sAlutary effect The outrage WAS de-
nounced by the city press, hy the Cour"iI and
by the citizens generay-and grand ratif-
cation meeting, held Monday evening, pass d
off without d sturbance of any kind. The in
terests of the Dstric are in the hands Of
Congress. and its inhabitants always manage
to be favorable to the Administration in pow
er and the party that controls the leg 81 ion ;
and the urmistakable pr m1nition that the Re
pubcans are soon to have full control at
both end, of Pennsylvania Avenue, is having
its effect and rapidly preparing them for fall
ling into line when the change comes.

YANCY, the leader of the Southern seceders
in recent speech at Montgomery, Alabama
recommended that the Democracy should "gc
to the WALL and submit to defeat on principle
rather than attempt to gain success by yielding
to the demands of the Douglasites The ad
vice is most excellent, but, so far as the Repub
hcans are concerned it matters little whether
it is needed or not-they will send the Democ
raey to the WALL whatever their wishes may
be on the subject.

So satisfied do the Democracy seem of the
election of Lincoln that they are devoting
themselves to the task of selecting a Cabinet
for him. This labor on their part evinces a
degree of kindness and favorable regard entirely
unexpected still, it is more than proba-
bic that Mr. Lincoln will defer selecting his
Cabinet till after his election and Inauguration;
and should he then require their services he
will doubtless apprise them of the fact
