FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM I.lNCt In.
OF Illinois.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ANDREW JOHNSON.
Of Tennessee.
The PrCEILency.

1t is true that it is ,lways better 10 over
rate, than to under rate the strength Of the
enemy. if BY doing We make prepar.-
lions and calculations 10 mas1 .hs forces
az INST which we have 70 contend but if
We allow ourselves to become discouraged
and disheast.ned by the difficulties upon
which We count. it were better to remain in
ignorance Of The enemies for ces, ana main
tain confidence 0! our own strength.
It's true also that the little cloud Of dust
kicked up at Cleveland, has assumed and
still is assuming proportions We did not
then anticipate but if We look calmly, ard
coolly at the cloud. We will, we think,
como 70 Tho conclusion that its fury will be
wasted upon itself.
The great mass Of the people believe that
Abraham Lincoln is horsst ard capable,
and has done better, and will do better than
any other man that sovld have have been
in his place, or that can I've put in his place
Hence they are for Abraham Lincoln for the
next Presidency.
They believe that John G. Fremont is &C.
!uatsd ty motives Of personal snimosity,
jealousy and hatred, and would willingly
sacr f;e The high and holy principles upon
which he has built up for himself natioua!
tame, il BY so doing, he coula "unite the
conservative elements ofopposition' against
Mr.. Lincoln, and in favor OF himself-
Hence they are not for Mr.. Fremont.
The GeInan FopuIa:ien, at 6rst 50 ar,
dent in their advocacy Of him, are fast be.
coming dissatisfied at his evident abandon
lnenl ol tho principles upon which they
thought no was ,lnmovabIy planted, and are
'returning 10 their first love- in scores and
hundreds. Many Of The first men. and tho
leading papers. that At FIRST were his warm
supporters ard adv oc.les, now turn to him
the cola shoulder. ., .,
Some nave become alarmed at the cvi
dent prospect o! Fremont getting tho nom.
'nation Of tho Democratic party At Chicago
on the 29th Of August We think he will.
We think that was bis intention at first
hence the adoption OF name for tho new
p.r.y that would sui, the ear OF Democrats
-lLe Radics Democratic party-the ad.
tournament OF that Convention to the Oath
Of August evidently had for it's reason, tho
preparation and consumatien Of the pro-
gramme to that end. His official organ at
Washington, The New Nation says as much
