REPU
W We trust our readers will excuse any
lack 'of Editorial'_matter this week. Our
senior was summoned home by the sudden
and alarming illness of Mrs. Byington, and
constant attendance at her bedside since his
return, has prevented even the continuation .
of his correspondence, commenced. in bur
last. As there is'at this present writing a
reasonable hope, that his present _ domestic
affliction will result in an ultimate recovery,
we shall dbub'tless be able to" complete the
Editorial narratiOns in ohr‘ne'xt.

Our . “Candidates. .
We did not have room to say much about
the previous‘history of our candidates in our
last issue, and 'a few words now may not
come amiss; - ‘ .
Abraham Lincoln
Was born in Hardin County, Kentucky,
February 12, 1809, and is now. 51 years \old.
He is very probably of the race of the Mas-
sachusetts Lincolns, though his parents were
of Quaker stock, that migrated from [Penn-
sylvaniato Virginia, whence his grandfather
removed in 1781—2 to Kentucky, and was,
there surprised and. killed by Indians while
at work on his clearing. Like most pioneers,
he left his family poor; and his son also died
prematurely, leaving a widow and several
children, including Abraham, then six years
old. The family removed soon after to
Southern Indiana, :where Abraham grew to
the stature of six feet and some inches, but
enjoyed scarcely better opportunities for in-
struction than in Kentucky. Probably six
_ months in all of the rudest sort of schooling
comprehends the whole of his technical edu-
cation. He was, in turn .a farm laborer, a
' common workman in a saw-mill, and a boat-
man on the Wabash and Mississippi rivers.
Thus hard work and plenty of it, the rugged
experience of aspiring poverty, the wild
sports and rude games of a newly and thinly
peopled forest region—the education born of
the log cabin, the title, the axe,and the plow,
combined with the reflections of an original
and vigorous mind, eager in the pursuit of
knowledge by every available means, and
developing a character of equal resource and
firmness—made him‘ the man he has‘ since
. proved himself. , g
At 21 he pushed further West into Illinois,
which has for the last, thirty years been his
home, living always near, and for some years
past in Springfield, the State Capital. He
Worked on a farm asphired man his first year
in Illinois ; the next year he was a clerk in a
store; then volunteered for the Black Hawk
war, and was chosen a captain by his compa-
ny; the next year he was an unsuccessful
candidate for the Legislature; he was chosen
the next, and served four sessions with emi-
nent usefulness and steadily increasing repu-
tation; studied law,» meantime, and took his
place at the bar; was early recognized as a
most effective and convincing advocate be-
' fore the People of Whig principles and .thc ,
Protective policy, and of their illustrious
embodiment, Henry Clay; was a Whig can-
didate for Elector in nearly or quite every
Presidential contest from 1836 to 1852 inclu-
sive; was chosen to’the XXXth Congress
from the Central District of Illinois in 1846,
and served to its close, butwas not a candi-
date for re-election; and in 1849 measurably
withdrew from politics and devoted himself
to the practice of his profession until the Ne-
braska Iniquity of 1844 called him again in—
to the political arena. He ,was the candidate
of the Whigs for U. S. Senator before the
Legislature chosen that year, but they were
not a majority of the body; so he declined
and urged his friends to support Judge Trum-
bull, the candidate of the antiiNebraska
Democrats, who was thus elected.
In the gallant and memorable Presidential
contest of 1856, Mr. LINCOLN's name headed
the Fremont Electoral Ticket of Illinois. In
1858, he was unanimously designated by the
Republican State Convention to succeed Mr.
Douglas in the Senate, and thereupon can-
vassed the State against Mr. D. with an abil-
ity in which logic, art, eloquence, and thor-
ough good nature were alike conspicuous,
and which gave him a national reputation.
Mr. Douglas secured a. predominance in the
Legislature and was elected, though Mr.
LINCOLN had thelargcr popular vote, so that
if the question had been decided by'the ma-
jority of the people, the. champion of squat-
ter Sovereignty and of indifference as re-
gards Slavery extension would not now be a
Senator from Illinois. '
Hannibal Hamlin
The nominee for Vice-President, was born
in Paris, Oxford 00., Maine, in August, 1809,
and is‘new in the 5151: year of his age. He
is by profession a lawyer, but for the last
twenty-four years has been, for much of the
time, in political life. From 1886 to 1840~he
was a member of the Legislature of Maine,
and for three of those years he .was the
Speaker of its House of Representatives. In
1843 he was elected a member of Congress,
and rte-elected for the: following term. In
1847 he was again a. member. of the State
Legislature, and the next year was chosen to
fill a vacancy, occasioned by the death of
John Faiifield, in the’United States Senate.
In 1851 he was re-clcctcd for the full term in
the same body, but resigned on being chosen
Governor of Maine in 1857. In the. same
month he was again elected to the United
States Senate for six years, which office he
accepted, resigning the Govern‘orship. He
is still a member of the Senate. ‘ Thisrecord
is an evidence of the confidence with which
he has always been regarded by his fellow-
citizens in Maine. . . _‘ 5 ‘
Up to the time of the passage of the Kan-
sas-Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr. Hamlin was a
member of the Democratic party. That act
he regarded as a proof that the. party, with
which he had been all his life 'connectcd, no
longer deserved the name of Democratic. and
was treacherous to the principles he had so
long cherished. Thenceforward he gave his
supportto the Republicanpurty, of which he
has ever since continued a faithful leader.
Mr. Hamlin is a man of dignified presence,
_ of solid abilities, of unflinching integrity, and
great executive talent. Familiar with the
business of legislation, he is peculiarly adap-
ted, by the possession of all; these qualities, to
fill beneficially for the country, and to his
own and his party’s honor, the high post for
which he has been nominated. The name of
HANNI‘BAL HAMLIN of‘ Maine is a fit second
to that of ABRAHAM LINCOLN of Illinois.

Lincoln and Victory. _ .
. Wnsrronr, May 26th, 1860.
The nominations of the Chicago Con-
vention are‘received here with theat-
lnost satisfaction. We have here, ever
since the assembling of the Convention,
felt a good deal of uneasiness in regard
to what would be the final result. ‘We
.Were afraid that the Representatives of
the great Republican Party, trusting too
much in their strength, and in the divi-
sion of our opponents, would hazard the
success of the principles of the Re publi-
can party by the selection of a nominee
less strong in those elements of populari-
ty which give Lincoln the preference.
Thank Heaven those doubts and fears
are retrieved. The members of the Chi-
cago Convention held in their hands the
destinies of ~ the country. They have
met the crisis and done their Work in a
spirit commensurate with the responsibili-
ty resting upon them. Our principles
are invuluerable—our candidptes unex-
ceptiouable. _ We are a united party,
our triumph next November is inevitable.

No positive .date is fixed for the de-
pal-tutti: of the Japanese from Washing-
ton, but. it is decided they hill visit. the
naval school at Annapolis. They will
stop a day in Philadelphia ; also, one in
Baltimore. Iu'addition to New York,
they will probab visit West Point, and
the Arms Manu acturiug establishments
at Hartford and Springfield.
The Japanese visitedthe Washington
Navy Yard,.on Thursday, and were re-
ceived by commandant Buchanan with
due courtesy. They were. conducted
through the various workshops, and sub-
sequently witnessed target practice with
the heavy ordinance and Dahlgren’s ri-
fled cannon. A few experiments were
also made with howitzen, with all of
which they were astonished anddelight-
' ed.
The Prince de .Joinville also had an
opportunity of seeing the results of the-
rifled cannon, and'was lavish in his praise
of this great improvement in naval war-
fare. ‘
A party of the Japanese made a tour
of inspection: of the Center market, Thurs-
day morning. ’

CONGRESS.
SENATE, Monday, May 21.-——Mr. Wil-
son offered an important bill on- the for-
eign slave trade. The. bill [appears to
fit out. five steam slm'lps-t)f'-\val‘. to cruise
on the coast. of Africa -, to increase the
bounty to officers and men {or the capture
of sluvm's ; to enlarge the povers and in-
, crease the duties of the District Attor-
= uics, U. S. .lllt'lgcn, and Commissioners,
in relation to the inmortation of Africans ;
to change the penalty for being found on
board a slaw.- engaged in the slave-trade
from death to imprisonment for life ; to
make it a felony, subjectfo the same
penalty, to engage in fitting out shivers;
to subject any vessel to forfeiture and the
crew to imprisonment, that shall hoist
the American flag at sea when nota duly
registered Americ' vessel ; to require
every master of a vessel about to sail for
Africa 'to notify the District Attorney,
that his vessel may be examined ; to
make the sale of any vessel on the coast
of Africa illegal, and to require every sale
of a vessel in North or South America,
the West Indies, the Cape de Verds, or
near the Coast of Africa, to be in the
presence of a U. S. Minister or Consul,
under oath that she. is not to engage in
the slave-trade, and to return home for a
new register. Mr.
his bill with great earnestness, maintain-
ing that it would put an end to this traf-
fic. .
Mr. Davis’s resolution again came up
and Mr Toombs went over the ground
so often trodde'n before, advocating the
duty of Congress to protect Slavery in
the Territories. .
House—The House of Representa-
tives had a disorderly session in conse-
quence of an attempt to ‘fix the time for
an adjournment. Several bills were in-
troduced, among them one for a uniform
bankrupt law. which was referred to the
Judiciary Committee The Senate’s
Homestead bill was taken up, the origi-
nal House bill substituted therefor by the
decisive vote of 104 to 59, and returned
to the Senate. So the matter stands,
where it did two months ago.
SENATE, Tuesday—In the Senate, the
irrepressible conflict between the two di-
visions of the Democratic party was
warmly continued. Mr. Benjamin made,
with all his ability, an elaborate attack
upon Mr. Douglas, in the course of which
he flattered that gentleman by praising
the ability, consistency, and comparative
conservatism of Mr. Lincoln, who, he
said, was by no means so extreme an an-
ti-slavery man as had been represented.
In the view of Mr. Benjamin, the Seas-
tor from Illinois no longer belongs to the
true Democratic party. ‘
Hausa—The House disagreed to the
Senate’s amendment to the Military
Academy bill, providing for calling into
the field a mounted regiment of Texas
volunteers. One wholesome reform was
ordered. It was decreed that hereafter
only those speeches which are really de-
delivered in the House shall be printed 'in
The Congnsuanal Globe.
SENATE, Wednesday—A Messagewas
received from the President in relation
to the capture of more uegroes by' the
U. S. Steamer Wyandotte. Aresolution
of inquiry addressed to the Secretary of
War, in regard to the sale of the Fort
Suelliug Reservation, was after some dis-
cussion adopted. The Japanese visited
the Senate Chamber and created a great
sensation. Mr. Davis’s reSJlutious came
up, when Wigfnll of Texas spoke against
Douglas. -
Helms—In the House an amendment
to the Appropriation Bill, striking out
the appropriation for an auxiliary guard
for the city' of Washington, ‘as' concur-
red in. ' '
SENATE, 'l‘hursday.-—-Mr. Davis’s fa-
mous resolutions, which have so long
been a subject of discussion among the
Democratic members of the United
States Senate, were acted. upon—"—
There are seven of them, and'three were
adopted. .An amendment to the second
of these resolutions offered by Mr. Har-
lan of Iowa, to the effect that free dis-
cussion on the morality of slavery. or free
speech, or the freedom of the press, should
never be interfered with, was rejected.—
I’ending the question on the fourth reso-
lution, the Senate adjourned. ,
House—The House passed the Pacific
Telegraph Bill, which had previoosly
passed the Senate.
Fianna—The remainder of ,Mr. Davis's
Senate. Mr. Clingman’s amendment, de-
claring that there is new no necessity for
Congressional interference in behalf of the
institution in the Territories was ad0ptcd,
but was afterwards reconsidered and re-
jeeted,

nr FLEMING Bnos. or Ptrrsnnnou.——During
a practice of more than twenty years, Dr.
M’Lane had attended innumerable patients
afl‘ictcd with every form of worm disease,
and was induced to apply all the energies of
his mind to the discovery of a vermifuge, o_r
worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the re-
sult of his labors is the American Worm Spe-
cific, now before the public, prepared by
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, which is p91"
fcctly safe. and may be given alike to children
of the most tender age,or to the aged adult; it
purges mildly and subducs fever, and destroy
worms with invariable success. It is easy of
administration, and as it does not contain
mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions
are necessary with regsli'd to drinking cold
water, nor is it capable of doing the least in-
jury to the tenderest infant. An incredible
nmnbcr of worms have been expelled by'this
great vcnnifugc. . '
