Our Nomination..

The nominations of LINCOLN and HAM11N are verwhere received with the most unbounded 4tisfaction to Republicans, and discomforture
 sass Democracy: Hugs creSss creSs,1.;.s .;.s gre gre
 ng shed freely by the latter over the political de- at of Wm. II. Seward, who, short month ago. y.,s the great Arch-Agitator," the "Ghastly iend, whose eyes shone with the fires of hell, , !he high and mighty king, lord, and devil, of soom and desolation. It is we'll that the Demo- sratic journals should sympathize with the dis f,mforture of such demon of their creative
 rains, while WM. H. SEWARD, the Man, shines .ip above them all, the same unimpassioned, potless, devoted follower of Republican prin- ciples, and gives to-day his heartiest endorse ,Ient to the Republican Nominees.
 The honesty of Honest old Abe Lincoln troubles our Democratic friends more than all. jt'strueit's quality they've been for some years rnacquainted with. It will undoubtedly trouble them more, after the 4th of March next. The Loneliness of our Candidates also disturbs their .7ay-dreams, and hovers above their beds in the ,isions of night, and of the nocturnal animal that reigns in darkness supreme. The stature of Old Abe" has been stretched by their terrified fancies, until from plain six feet three, he has -!ecome at least six feet eleven, and still grow ;ag! The obscurity of the Candidates is very iurdensome to them, forgetful that ever Folk or Pierce became known to history, by Lcing made President of the United States!
 Taking the opinions of all to form whole, we gre assured from the sincere enthusiasm and satis- faction on our side, and the terrible howlings on the other, that better nominations could not have been made, and that the President and Vice President to be inaugurated next year ;re ABRAHAM LINCOLN and HANNIBAL HAMLIN.

craitsmen of Diana found their trade in danger.
 The pressure of feeling in favor of Lincoln. among the spectators in the wigwam, was very powerful in it's influence upon the Convention. and told fearfully upon the ballotings. There is no doubt that Lncoln-Old Abe-is the peoples man, when they go for victory at least. It is a little distateful to some of us that it appears to be necessary to make so much of his splitting rails and managing fat-boat Tn former years We would like to know more of the statesman ship of our Candidate, and less of this clap trap. It takes with the people, however, and is a source of no little profit to the man who owns the fence constructed of these remarkable rails Hereafter we shall have walkng-sticks and snuff boxes in abundance, at least until the election all made of this precious wood. Cyrus Fields Atlantic Cable was not more profitable for sou venirs, until the Cable ceased to hzlk, than this fence will be, until [" Old Abe" is elected. The enterprising owner is selling the rails at ten dol lars apiece. have no doubt, most of the farm CTS of Litchfeld County would be glad to dis pose of their fences at a similar rate. Happy he who only has the genuine Lincoln article
 Chicago seems now half deserted. Her streets never very quiet, are at least comparatively still One can make his way past the Fremont ol the Richmond" without difficulty. The Wig wam is empty and cheerless, but will not be per mitted to gatlier much dust, until the campaign is closed. It is generally conceded by all par ties, that the nomination is the strongest that could be made, and the canvass will be vigorous ly prosecuted. We cannot predict results with absolute certainty but the election of the Re. publican Candidates seems a foregone conclu sion.'
 Your Connecticut subscribers may depend up on the uprghtness of Mr. Lincoln. No one ha: ever questioned that. They may feel coniden that if his hand goes into the National I'reasu ry, it will not be for bribery They may depend upon his intellectual ability. He is more of /: statesman than Harrison or Taylor, if he be les

National Republican Convention.

TIE NOMINEES -ENTHUs1AsM-HoNEsT OLD ABE.
 From our own Correspondent.
 CHICAGO, May 24, 1860.
 MR. EDroR-I had proposed to give you some further account of the recent Republican Convention but found that the swift pens of the reporters, and the swifter spark of the tel egraph so far anticipated my laggard movements that could hope to give you but little which you have not already gathered from your over. flowing exchanges. l can bear free testimony however, to the excitement and enthusiasm with which the platform and nominations were car ried The platform was amended in only one or two particulars It was not amended really except as a ship already complete might be amended by running up the National Flag. Ohio in the person of Giddings, demanded the adop- tion of the famous "glttering generalities" of the Declaration of Inddpendence, and New York, anxious to propitiate Ohio, seconded the demand. So the colors were run up.
 1 The nomination took every one by surprise at first. The friends of Seward were confident of his nomination when they ate their breakfasts in the morning. They were destined to pick their teeth after dinner. in a far different mood. The most sanguine friends of Lincoln did not hope to carry his nomination until after protracted struggle. To succeed on the third ballot was beyond their widest dreams, The outbreak of feeling when the nominations were secured by the immortal four of Ohio, was tremendous. had thought that it would be impossible to cheer more vociferously. or to swing hats and handker- chiefs, with more vigorous futter than when the platform was adopted but the cheering at that time was faint compared to that which went from ten thousand throats when the con- ing man" was declared. It seemed as if the whole audience had been broken into black and white, and tossed together into the air, so con- pletely was every thing obscured by the waving and tossing of whatever could most convenient ly be had for the demonstration. The roar of the multitude rose up in the wigwam like the noise of many waters. It went up through the apertures in the roof, through the windows, through the doors, poured over into the streets like flood, and was then mingled with another flood coming from ten thousand outsiders" who had received the votes from within by a messenger, as fast as they were declared. The cannon gave the staccato in this overwhelming tide of sound and the whole city was electrified. A procession was immediately formed, preceded by stalwart Republican, bearing on his shoul- ders long stick, somewhat resembling rail ta- ken from the nearest wood-pile, and so the march began. Everywhere the surge of ap- plause rolled along with the footsteps of the procession, until the city was in as much of an uproar as Ephesus was, one day, when the
