LIncoIn,s Nomination.

"AoATE, the Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette, strives hard to fasten
on the people the odium which attaches to
Lincoln's nomination AoATE says that alt
the Senators except FIVE, we're opposed TO his
nomination. and that he could not boast more
than twenty friends in the House He con.
tinues--
"But this luke warmuess, or opposition, Of
the leaders, only gives fresh zest to the llk
ing OF the people In this respect, indeed,
there is a striking resemblance to the Valland-
igham Convention of Ohio, where, ia spite OF
the most earnest opposition, the people took
the bit in their own mouths, and ran awav
with their leaders
And then adds seemingly for the purpose
of convicting himself Of fslsehood
"Tho attendance is not one-fourth, scarcely
one-ffth ofthat ut the great Conventions Of
four years ago. There is less excitementthan
have sometimes seen at ordinary State Con
vsntons and thus far there is certainly no
enthusiasm"
So, from his own statement, the people
we're not there, and the enthusiasm which al
ways attends a really popular nomination, was
wholly wanting. The fact is, il wasa conven
ton packed with the stipendiaries and tools
of Abraham Lincoln and his nomination
was effected in spite.of all that is intellectna
and honorable either among the leaders or
the people, composing the Republican party

The Presidency and the Con.
Ventlom.

1t has seemed to us, that now is the
time to assert the Constitution, by revert
ing in the election Of President, to the mode
expressly provided and prescribed by the
Constitution. We have heretofore indi-
Gated the plan, 1t is simply to forego the
dangerous innovation of making caucus
nomination Cor President, which has al
ways been attended with evil, because Of
the personalities, cSlumnies and feuds
which it has engendered; and return to the
primal and only legal mode, viz: that Of
choosing electors, leaving to them wholly
the selection Of the Chief Magistrate. We
are aware that before tie people will as
sent to this suggestion, they have some
thing to learn, and much to forget They
must learn to have aims far higher than
those Of party success, and they must con-
sign party machinery to disuse, and party
traditions to oblivion. We are standing
on the very verge of utter destruction
We are like men who have yielded and gi-
ven back, until at last driven to the wall,
there are no alternatives but death, or
prompt, brave and vigorous defence. The
first thing to be done, is to vindicate the
rights of all who are opposed to Abra.
ham Lincoln, to life, to personal liberty
to freedom Of thought, and speech, and
to the possession of whatever property We
may chance to have. In such terribl,
crisis, who will permit an old prejudice
to prevent his hearty assent to any plan
or to any combination, that promises dc
liversnce from peril so fearful and immi
nent. Let us, then, leave candidates Who'll
ly out Of our discussions, and give th
votes of the united opposition to the elect
ors to which each State is entitled.
But if this proposition cannot be agreed
to, let us, as the next best thing, postpon
the Chicago Convention until the first day
of September. Events are now transpir
ing which are to mould public opinion, anC
the logic of which is to fix and control tn
campaign. Let us defer to them. Let u
wait, that we may make wise avail o
them, and not by precipitate nomination
select a man whose antecedents, and know
opinions, may possibly be such as to con
fiict with the overwhelming convictions @
the people.

The Journals Response TO the
Nomination of Fremont.

The following is the concluding part Of
The Ohio State Journals Response to FRE-
MoSTs nomination:
"He Fremont has for the last fifteen
years, in every place and circumstance,
demonstrated that he has indomilable energy,
courage, resources, and administrative tai
ents Of the highest order He has more of
romance about his career than that OF any
other live American He has just the quail
ties that are wanted for the present crisis and
the American people, with a true instinct, in
their present condition, have turned to him,
and have chosen him as their leader. The
selection is one eminently fit 10 be made, and
will be hailed with demonstrations Of rejoic-
ings all over the land We throw the flag to the
breeze with the name of Fremont inscribed
thereon. 1t will be a tower of strength in
Ohio, and will bring to our standard host
that will bear that flag to victory which
will be only equaled by our splendid triumphs
of the last two years.

A Military NecessIty--A Happy
Illustration.

When peace with all its real and substantial
benefits smiles benefcently upon the people,
then nothing is heard of that plea of all
tyrants since the world began, military ne.
cessity" But il designing and ambitious
men, influenced perhaps by foreign jealousy
and innate ambition, after an effort OF years,
succeed finally in disturbing the peaceful re-
lauon OF their country and bring trouble and
distress upon the people, then be on your
guard against their insidious wiles. They
will tell you OF your willy foe; of his courage
his Strength, his numbers, They will plot for
your armies to be defeated, and your treasure
wasted, your young men to be destroyed, and
the whole people to be dissatisfied with their
dreadful situation and gloomy prospects, and
then they will tell yon that military necessity"
dictates the surrender of the right OF self-gov,
ernment in order to defeat the foe. The old
fable Of the horse is quite appropos as an il
lustration.
Esop tells us that the horse, finding the
other beasts Of the field unwilling to acknow.
ledge him as their sovereign, applied to man
for assistance in subduing his foes. Man i'm.
medately consented, and proceeded toput the
saddle upou his back
"HalloaI r. cried the horse, what is that
for ?"
"Oh, it will be necessary for me to get on
your back and have full control of you for a
time, am to assist you" answered the man
The next step was to put the bit into the
horses mouth to guide him right, Man tooh
a whip in his hand fastened a pair of sharE
spurs on his heels, and mounted The horse
did not like the spurs, and objected, but wal
told that it was all for his own good, and they
would be used only when he did not pursue
his enemy fast enough. When a man wa
mounted, and the horse about to start on BIZ
career Of conquest wise serpent addressed
him as follows
"You fool why have you given up you
liberty thus2 You we're free, and now yoI
have placed a master on your back, and b
can make you do what he wishes Why sub
NIT to such despotism ?"
"Oh, you do not understand" replied tn
horse II place this power in his own hand
only for time, that may conquer my enc
mics when this is done can just throw hiE
, off
Never replied the serpent, "you hav
surrendered your liberty; man has obtaine
a seat upon your back, you have submitted t
be saddled, bitted and bridled, and so you wi
3 continue forever hereafter"
The horse laughed and the man cried ou

horse
