^XSIVCOL.N A WD HAMLIN. The nomination of LINCOLN andHAMLIN, as candidates for the offices of President and Yice-President of the United States, by the National Republican Convention at Chicago, on Fri-
heralded forth and hailed with joyous hearts by the entire Republican party throughout the length and breadth of the Union riom all sections of our countrv. the erv or hurrah for ':OLD ABE,'' goes upward and onward. There never has been such joyousness manifested by the American people, over
Mr. Ashley of Ohio moved the follow-, gauization of this mighty nation. All
are willing to march under the banner All have implicit confidence in the honesty, capability and fitness of Old Abe Lincoln, the flat-boatman and rail-splitter, for the position for which he has been selected. The work of the Convention was expeditiously and well executed, and to the general satisfaction and approval of the largest concourse of American voters ever assembled on any occasion. It too, has presented to a free and en-
mee^ wi(--u
^hc hearty approval and
indorsement of every well-wisher of his country. HANNIBAL HAMLIN, has for years past, been known by our people as one of the most prominent and able statesmen of the old State of Maine, which State he is now representing in the Senate of the United States. He is of democratic antecedents, and as such, was, in 185G, elected to a seat in the Senate. The outrages of Kansas, however, as with many others, opened his eyes, and he was enabled to see the. intrigue and corruption of the old-line sham-democracy, and was at once found searching after the "old paths," and in finding them, he found himself within the pale of the great Republican party and as such, "was taken up by that party and triumphantly elected Governor by a majority of some 18,000 or 20,000 completely revolutionizing a State which had previously been strongly democratic. Such is the standing and influence of our candidate for Yicc
President, in his own State. Lincoln and Hamlin, the People's Candidates, are known of, and honored, from the East to the West, and will, with ten thousand halleluiahs, on the second Tuesday of November next, be promoted to that place and power second to none in the gift of the sovereigns people of America. Tho Chicago Press and Tribune in referring to the nomination of Lincoln, says lie has never sought, clidirectly orindiro.':tly,for the first or second place on the ticket. The movement in his favor is spontaneous—has sprung up suddenly and with great strength, its roots being in the conviction that he is the man to reconcile all differences in our ranks, to conciliate all the now jarring elements, and to lead forward to certain victory. Having never entered into the field, he has put forth no personal effort for success, and ho has nover made, even by implication, a pledge of any sort, by which his action, if he is President, will be influ enced for any man, any measure, any pqUcy^IJe will enter upon tho contest with no clogs, no. embarrassment and this fact is a guaranty of a glorious triumph^'4 lii all the fundamentals of Rcpubli cani^m.
IK
which tho party, with due'respect for the rights of the South, proposes to go. But naturo has giveii'him that wis© conservatism which has made his action and expressed opinions so conform to the most mature sentiment of the country on this question of slavery, that no Hying man can put his finger on •on erof his speeches -or
any
one
one of his
public acts as a State legislator or as a member of Congress, to which valid objection can be raised. His avoidance of extremes
has not
been the result of
ambition which measures words or regulates acts, but the natural consequence of an equitable nature and in mental constitution that is never oft its balance. While no
doubts the strength of his
attachments to the Republican cause, or doubts that he is a representative man, all who know him see that he occupies tho happy mein between that alleged radicalism which binds the older Anti-Slavery men to Mr. Seward, and that conservatism which dictated the support of udgc Bates.
Mr. Lincoln has no new record to make. Originally a Whig, though early a recruit of the great Republican pai ty, lie has nothing to explain for the satisfaction of New Jersey, Pennsylvania or the West. His opinions and votes on the Tariff will be acceptable to all sections except the extreme South, where Republicanism expects no support. Committed within proper limitations, set up by economy and constitutional obligation, to the improvement of rivers and harbors, to that mostbenificent measure, the Homestead Bill, and to the speedy construction of the Pacific Railroad, he need write no letters to soften down old asperities, growng out of these questions, wThich must inevitably play their part in the canvass before us. He is all that Pennsylvania and the West have aright to demand.
He is a southern man by birth and education, who has never departed from tho principles which he learned from the statesmen of that period in which he first saw* the light. A Kentuckian, animated by the hopes that brought the Kentucky delegation to Chicago, a Western man, to whom sectionalism is unknown, he is that candidate around whom all opponents of the extension of Human Slavery North and South will rally.
Mr. Lincoln is a man of the people. For his position he is not indebted to famil}7 influence, the partiality of friends or the arts of the politician. All his life a laborer, in the field, in the sawmill, as a boatman on the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi, as a farmer in Illinois, he has that sympathy with tlic men who toil and vote that will make him strong. Later, a valiant soldier in the Black Hawk war, a student in a law office, bending his great powers to overcome the defects of early training then a legislator, and at last a brilliant advocate in the highest courts and a popular leader in the great movement of the age, there is enough of romance and poetry in his life to fill all the land with shouting and song. Honest old Abe! Himself an outgrowth of free institutions, ho would die in the effort to preserve to others, unimpaired, the inestimable blessings by which lie has been made a man.
Without a stain of Ivriow-Nothing-ism on his skirts, he is acceptable to the mass of the American party, who, this year, will be compelled to choose between the candidate of Chicago and the nominee of Baltimore. The experience of two years
has
most
proved their error and
his wisdom. They want the chance to retrieve the blunders of the past. Endeared by his manly defense of the painciples of the Declaration of Inclependance to the citizens of foreign birth, he will command the warm support of every one. of them, from whom, in any contingency, a Republican vote can be expected.
Mr. Lincoln is an honest man. In his life of 51 years, there is no act of a public or private character, of which his
malignant enemy can say, "this
is dishonest," "this is mean." With his ccord, partisanship has done its worst, and the result wo have stated. His escutcheon is without a blemish.
After saying so much, we need not add that Mr. Lincoln will be clccted. In New
England, where Republicanism pure and simple is demanded, and where he has lately electrified the people by his eloquence, his name is a tower of strength. New York, who clung with an ardent embrace to that great satesman, her first choice, is rejoiced to adopt Mr. Lincoln as a standard bearer worthy of the holy cause.".',"Pennsylvania, satisfied with his views in regard to the present necessity of fostering domestic interests, and the constitutional moderation of his opinions upon slavery, will rally heartily to his support
The West is the child of the East, and aside from her local pride in one of the noblest of her sons, she will not fail by her plaudits to cxault and intensify the enthusiasm which the nomi nation of Honest Old Abe has created The West.has no rivalry with the East, except in the patriotic endeaver to do the most
for
the Republican cause.—
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minucso-!
r-S'TipTo tlic limit to ta an.! Wisconsin, ««im no triumph child's
in wjiicli the East does not share—no victory over which the East may not honestly exult. In a contest for Lincoln, they will fight with zeal and hope that has never before animated the Republican hosts. .......

The Hurricane.
We learn from the Cincinnati Daily <Gazette> that that city was visited by a terrific hurricane on Monday last, in the afternoon, which did damage to property to the amount of about $300,000. The storm came from the northwest and was accompanied by lightning, thunder and torrents of rain. As far as could be learned, there were four persons killed in thee city, and two steamboat hands drowned in the river. The <Gazette> futher [sic] says, that scarcely a house in the city escaped damage, and where roofs were not carried away, or chimneys toppled over, broken window glass was the substitute. We have accounts from the country adjacent to Cincinnati, and are able from reports to state that a storm, equal in its damaging effects, was never before known and in the State, and in that city especially, the afternoon of the 21st of May, 1860, will form a most memorable epoch in the future meteorological history of the county. ———<>———

The Democratic delegates from this place to the Chicago Convention feel much worse over the nomination of Old Abe than common old liners. The prospect of certain defeat does not in the least tend to pay them for the loss of time, money and gas expended in visiting Chicago as outside delegates.

Reception of the Chicago News.
WHAT IS THOUGHT OF THE TICKET.
[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.] WASHINGTON, May 18.
The Republicans are generally pleased with the nomination of Lincoln.— Mr. Seward's friends feel somewhat sore, but they will heartily support the ticket. Western men are ^elated beyond measure, and Pcnnsylvanians are delighted. They say Lincoln w-ill carry their State by a handsome majority. New England representatives are satisfied.
The Democrats pronounce the ticket a strong one and the friends of Douglas say he is the only man to face this bold and popular move.
Mr. Douglas upon hearing the news remarked: "Lincoln and I had hard words when we ran for the U. S. Senate in 1858, but he is able and honest."
It is reported here to-night that. Everett positively declines the nomination for Yice-President, tendered by the Baltimore Convention.

"Holiest Abe" Don't Decline. CHICAGO, May
21.
The committee appointed by the Convention, comprising President Ashmun and chairmen of the State delegations, to officially announce to Mr. Lincoln his domination, arrived at Springfield on Saturday night, and immediately after supper proceeded to Mr. Lincoln's residence, where Mr. Ashmun, in a brief speech presented Mr. Lincoln with the letter announcing his nomination.
Mr Lincoln replied: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: I tender you, and through you to the Republican National Convention and all the people represented in it, my profoundest thanks for the high honor done me, which
you
formally announce.
Deeply and even painfully, sensible of the great responsibility which I could almost wish had fallen upon some one of the far more eminent and experienced statesman whose distinguished names were before the Convention, 1 shall bv yourlc-ave, consider more fully the resolutions of the Convention denominated the platform, and without unreasonable delay respond to you, Mr. Chairman, in writing, not doubting that the platform will befound satisfactory and the nomination acceptable and now I will no longer defer the pleasure of taking you and each of you by the hand."
The various members of the Committee were then presented to Mr. Lincoln, who greeted each with a hearty sharkc o£ the hand.
