ernment. II il very bad man indeed, Their, who
is not better than Mr.. Lincoln; and, Of course,
1t is no great triumph for any TO be preferred
to him. Mr. Douglas has acted Extensively to the
democratic party and has used all his powers 70
degrade and overthrow IT, and that is just what Mr..
Lincoln has done. He is preferred by the republi-
now, more power to do mischief to the democracy
than Lincobi and for the same there are
democrats who think the election Of the latter to the
Senate the lesser evil. The truth is the problem is
a very strange one, and difficult to solve Mean
time, we continue to feel serene indifference
participate largely in the sentiments of the good wife
who Witnessed the aforesaid struggle between her
husband and the bear.

These seven young had met at the studio Of Joseph

each banquet. Should any be absent, those present
were bound to make inquiries to his whereabouts
Lots were cast for the keeper of the caset for the first

THE QuEsrIoS.--The great question in American
politics seems now to be, whether Mr.. Douglas is a
more worthy than Mr.. LincolnY There are
those who regard the controversy going on between
these gentlemen much as the good wife estimated
the battle between her husband and the bear--she
didn't care fig which whipped. But large class
undenably prefer Lincoln to Douglas, and apparent
sy there is another large class who prefer Douglas
TO Lincoln. II is remarkable feature of the case
fllat the boundaries Of parties have been quite
obliterated in estimating the merits Of the two cham
pions, many Of the republicans and Americans, and
not few Of the democrats out Of Illinois, siding
with Douglas, and many more against him and in
favor Of Lincoln. This is all quite natural and
amusing Mr.. Lincoln is fierce black-repub-
hcan, and believes that free and slave States
are incompatible elements in the same gov
