- The 1860 Republican National Convention was a presidential nominating convention that met May 16-18 in Chicago, Illinois. It was held to nominate the Republican Party's candidates for president and vice president in the 1860 election. The convention selected former representative Abraham Lincoln of Illinois for president and Senator Hannibal Hamlin of Maine for vice president. Entering the 1860 convention, Senator William H. Seward of New York was generally regarded as the front-runner, but Lincoln, Governor Salmon P. Chase of Ohio, former representative Edward Bates of Missouri, and Senator Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania all commanded support from a significant share of delegates. Seward led on the first ballot but fell short of a majority, while Lincoln finished in a strong second place. Cameron's delegates shifted to Lincoln on the second ballot, leaving Lincoln essentially tied with Seward. Lincoln clinched the nomination on the third ballot after consolidating support from more delegates who had backed candidates other than Seward. Hamlin was nominated on the second vice presidential ballot, defeating Cassius Clay of Kentucky and several other candidates. The ticket of Lincoln and Hamlin went on to win the 1860 general election. After taking office in 1861, Lincoln appointed all four of his major opponents to his cabinet: Seward for secretary of state, Chase for secretary of the treasury (and later for chief justice), Bates for attorney general, and Cameron for secretary of war.

- 1860年共和党全国代表大会是共和党的一次总统提名大会，于5月16日至18日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。大会为1860年的总统选举提名共和党的总统和副总统候选人。大会选举伊利诺伊州前众议员亚伯拉罕·林肯为总统候选人、缅因州参议员汉尼巴尔·哈姆林为副总统候选人。 在大会开始阶段，纽约州参议员威廉·H·苏厄德被普遍认为是领跑者，但林肯、俄亥俄州州长萨蒙·P·蔡斯、密苏里州前众议员和宾夕法尼亚州参议员都得到了很大一部分代表的支持。苏厄德在第一轮投票中领先，但未能获得多数票，而林肯则位居第二。卡梅伦的支持者在第二轮投票中转向林肯，使林肯基本上与苏厄德并列。林肯在获取了原本支持其他人的更多代表的支持后，在第三轮投票中获胜并取得了提名。 哈姆林在第二轮副总统候选人投票中击败来自肯塔基州的和其他几位候选人，获得提名。 林肯和哈姆林接下来参加并赢得了1860年的总统大选。1861年，林肯在上任后任命了他的所有四个主要竞争对手进入他的内阁。 (zh)
