Who did Lincoln defeat in the 1864 election?
Lincoln (President) and Andrew Johnson (Vice-President), running on the National Union ticket defeated George B. McLellin (candidate for President) and George H. Pendleton (Vice-Presidential candidate) who were running on the Democratic Party Ticket. McLellin was the Commanding General of the United States Army at the outset of the Civil War but was removed from that position by Lincoln following the Battle of Antietam. He was privately dismissive, even derisive, of Lincoln as the commander-in-chief and Lincoln obviously lacked confidence in him, so the election of 1864 was just another example of them clashing (with Lincoln coming out on top again).
Why does the president pick the vice president?
The Presidential Candidate's main purpose in picking the Vice President is "balancing the ticket." To "balance the ticket" is to find a VP Candidate that deposits values into a Presidential campaign that will bring support from voters that were not previously inclined to vote for that candidate. In most every United States presidential election within the past 30 years, the presidential candidate chose a VP candidate with almost opposite views and beliefs so that they might hoard the votes.
Can a family member be President and Vice President?
Sure, relatives can be running mates as long as they're from different states. (They could be from the same state, but electors from the presidential candidate's home state could not vote for both of them. So, if the election was very close, the vice-presidential candidate might fail to get a majority even though his running mate did. The Bush-Cheney ticket solved this problem by getting Cheney to establish a residence in Wyoming. )
Northern Democratic Party candidate defeated by Lincoln in 1860?
There were four candidates running for Presidency in 1860. Lincoln won against them with 40% of the popular vote. This included Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas a Northern democrat.
What office were Lincoln and Douglas running for when they debated?
The Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858 were a series of seven debates between Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for Senate in Illinois, and incumbent Senator Stephen Douglas, the Democratic Party candidate. Although Lincoln was a candidate for the Senate in Illinois, the debates were not directly related to an election of office. At the time, Illinois' Senators were elected by the Illinois Legislators, so the purpose of the debates was to represent their parties (Lincoln for the Republicans and Douglas for the Democrats) in a bid to win control of the Illinois Legislature. The main issue discussed in all seven debates was slavery.

What is a reason for choosing on particular person as a vice presidential candidate?
Why the VP candidate matters:The vice-president is "just a heart-beat" away from the Presidency. Nine vice-presidents took over for the President before the end of his term. Voters need to consider the VP candidate when voting for President.The selection of his running mate gives some indication of the candidate's ability to make wise appointments in the future.The vice-presidential candidate can balance the ticket and help the presidential candidate attract votes in areas in which he is weak. For example a liberal candidate from the East might do better with a conservative running mate from the South. A rich presidential candidate may want a self-made person for his running mate. A somewhat aloof or intellectual candidate may want a warm "people person" for a running mate.The vice-presidential candidate may be able the help the President govern better by sharing his experience. For example, a candidate with no experience in Washington might profit from having a Washington insider as running mate.If there are opposing view-points in the party and the nomination was hard fought, it may be well to appease the losing faction by choosing their leader as a running mate, thereby getting stronger campaign support from all parts of the party.
