How the Democrats Receive the
Nomination of Mr.. Lincoln.

There is a terrible panic in the Demo
cratic camp. The nomination of Mr.. Lin
coin at Chicago is almost universally ac-
knowledged to be the very strongest that
could possibly have been made, and the
danger that threatens ther overflow next
November of the Democratic rule at Wash
ington is regarded as imminent. "The
nomination of Mr.. Lincoln is strong one, y
says the Boston Herald, rampant Dem
ocratic sheet of the Douglas school, ''and
will be difficult TO defeat. Those who
fatter themselves that the Democrats are
to walk over the Presidential course with
ease, will find themselves mistaken
"There will be great excitement through
out the land" says that organ of aristo-
cratic Democracy, the N. Y. Journal of
Commerce, in evident alarm, "and wig
vans will be built now as log cabins were
in 1910. ain Mr.. Lincoln they have pre-
sented gentleman who will poll very
nearly every vote in the Republican party
says the N. Y Sunday Times, another ex-
ponent of Democracy, which warns its par
ty that their day is up uuless they imme-
diately quit quarreling and unite firmly
for the great contest. "The nomination
Of Mr.. LINCOLN at Chicago is a formida-
bic one-probaly more SO than would be
that of any other man who had been nam
ed in connection with it," says that rankest
of negro-driving sheets, the N. Y. Day
Book. "The nomination of LINCOLN and
HAML1N will be received with immense en-
thusiasm in the West, where they can
hardly fail to make clean sweep" echoes
the N. Y. Sunday Atlas, another expo
nent of the Democratic pro-slavery creed.
'L1NcoLN is man net to be dspised,"
cries the Rochester advertiser, with an ap-
peal to arms to its Democratic soldiers
The Louisville Democrat, DoUeLAs, pro-
nounces the nomination of LINCOLN at Chi
cago the strongest his party could have
made, and says, 1--WE have regarded LIN
colin since 1858, as their available man.
+ 4 DoUGLAs has not met as
nearly his match in debate, whether in ar
gument or tact, as he did when he met
ABRAHAM LINCOLN in debate in his own
State. + i 1t is plain that this ticket
is not to be easily beaten, and it is idle to
updervalue its strength" The Louisville
Courier, which is a GURrHIE paper, does
not see in Mr.. L1NcoLN's- nominations an
argument in favor of taking DouGLAs at
Baltimore, but declares that "his nomina-
ton by the Baltimore Convention could
only result in the defeat . Of his party
Itjustly says of LINCOLN that she will
probaly unite the strength of SEWARD and
Bates, and with less qualifications for
President than either, he is the most for
midable candidate his party could have Sc
lected." - - -. i.t,-sa. e ..-
1t is thus that the conviction is every
where spreading and taking root in the
minds of all, Democrats and Republicans
alike, that @Honest Old Abe" is to be our
next President. So mote it be. We re-
Joice at the prospect before US of better
for our country under the high-minded and
freedom-loving auspices of his Republican
rule Cleveland Leader. i.

The SEASON AND ITS PRoMIsEs.--Sel
dom indeed has the close of Spring given
more promising and universal auguries Of
abundant harvests of fruits, grass, and
grains, throughout cur extended country.
The weather has in the main been favora-
BILE, and no severe frosts have as yet blight
ed the hopes of the farmers. Our ex
changes from nearly all quarters speak in
cheerful tones of the crop prospects, inclu-
ding fruit, and of the health of the coun-
try. A very severe drouth has prevailed
in the vicinity of st. Louis and in some
portions of the East, but in general the
Spring rains have been copious.

@The New York Sun (Democratic)
recognizes the quality and fitness of Lin
coin, whose nomination it admits is a strong
one. 1t says: "o-
sa Mr.. Lincoln is peculiarly a self-made,
selfeducated man, and is, in all respects
a sterling representative of the ego ahead,
American character. That he would if
elected, make good President, we do not
entertain doubt His chances of election
certainly are good, unless the Democrats
show more wisdom at Baltimore than they
did at Charleston. The people are tired
of being ruled by professional politicians,
and they would rather vote for man like
Mr.. Lincoln, who holds, IN measure, an
independent position, than for an old party
leader, who has friends to reward and enc
mics to punish. r1

HEEAN and SAVERS are not to fight again.
SAVERS has agreed to retire from the prize ring,
and that two new belts exact counterparts Of the

The majority report, adopted in the
Committee by vote of 80 to II, recon-
mends change of the present Rule, so
that it shall read as fellows:
"The buying, or selling, or holding of
men, women, or children, with the inten-
ton 10 use them as slaves"
The report also recommends the suspen.
sion of the 4th restrictive rule, and the in
sertion in the chapter in regard to slavery
OF the following clause:
"Strike out all in the chapter on Slavery
after the words 'evil of slavery" and in
sert the following: We believe that the
buying, selling, or holding of human beings
as chattels is contrary to the laws of God
and nature, inconsistent of the Golden
Rule, and with that rule of our discipline
which requires all who desire to continue
among us to "do no harn," and to 'aYoid
evil of every kind" We therefore admon-
ish all the preachers and people to keep
themselves free from this great evil, and to
seek its extirpation by lawful and Chris
tian means. .--....r.- ...----
The debate on the majority report was
opened with spirit on the 22d. DR.. Kings
ley, of Cincinnati, moved that the first
resolution be adopted, and deprecated pro-
tracted debate. He was willing 10 let the
report speak for the majority Of the COM
mittee before God and the people. The
speeches limited to half an hour each, were
earnest and compact. Mr.. Coombe, of
Philadelphia, opposed the change, stating
that all who advocate it are from the free
States, and denied that the old Rule was
obsolete, as alleged by the minority report.
The proposed new Rule, which makes
slave-holding equally criminal with slave
buying or selling, Mr.. C. claimed would
place the border States in an antagonistic-
al and defiant position towards the laws of
those States. He cited Maryland where,
after the 4th of June next, emancipation
will be impossible.
Mr.. Moody, of Cincinnati, followed in
support of the report, in powerful speech
DR.. Wilson, of Baltimore, replied for the
conservatives, and produced strong i'm
preston. The Hall is crowded to listen
to the able debates, which are continued
from day to day.
On Thursday Mr.. Durbin, of New York,
introduced compromise measure as a sub
stitute for both of the reports presented
by the Slavery Committee. Instead of
establishing an arbitrary rule with regard
to slaveholding, the substitute recommends
that the administration of the Discipline
shall be made in each state to conform with
the anti-Slavery principles of the Church,
so far as it is possible under the laws of
the State. The substitute was tabled, yeas
1876, nays SO.

Methodist Debate ON the Slavery
Question.

The "irrepressible conflict" has been re-
moved from the Democratic National Con-
ventiop at Charleston to the Methodist
General Conference at Buffalo, on the
question of the change of the General Rule
on the subject of Slavery. The total num-
Der of petitioners for a change is 45,s57.
The number who ask that no change may
be made is 3,999. Thirty of the Confer
ences within the bounds of the General
Conference have demonstrated against a
change, and the members from the border
slave States oppose the proposed change
unanimously. The Conference largely
favor it, but it is hardly probable that the
required vote can be obtained TO effect a
