"Abe Lincoln, the Rail Candidate"
Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.
WEsr URBANA, Ill, May 1860.

WEST URBANA, ILL.,, May 1860.
There may be some among your readers
who do not exactly know why "Honest Old
Abe" is called the "Rail candidate" and
the ''rail-splitter of the SaDgamon" (pro-
nounced with the emphasis on GAM. The
origin Of the titles are as follows:
The Illinois State Convention met at
Decatur, Macon county, on the 9th of May
1850. Among the gentlemen on the plat
form was Abraham Lincoln, and every al
lusion to his honored name called forth a
tempest of enthusiastic applause.
At an early stage in the balloting the
Hon. Richard Oglesby, of Macon county
arose on the steps of the platform and re-
quested general permission for can old dem.
ocrat, who had voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket for thirty years, to present q
small contribution to the Convention"
As "Dick Oglesby" is privileged char
acter, this permission was granted, and
shortly, as Dick beckoned for them, couple
of men came forward from the main en-
trance, bearing broad white banner
stretched between two common walnu
fence rails, bearing as near as l can now re
call it the following inscription:

Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN.


The "OLD LINERS" FALLING IN.-ThC
Examiner, published in Lancaster, Pa.
the home Of Buchanan, furnishes the fol-
lowing with regard to the former friends oi
Clay:
@rhe old liners last fall revenged them
selves by voting for most Of the democratic
state ticket, aud beating the major part Of
the Seward ticket But they deprecate
the election Of another democratic Presi-
dent. They are opposed to tho farther ex-
tension of slavery, and denounce the dis
union schemes Of the southern democracy,
as we'll as the proposed re-opening Of the
African slave trade. These 'old-line wings
perceive that they can honorably support
Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, without any
sacrifice Of personal pride or self-respect.--
They feel that they can now come into the
great Republican party on honorable terms.
They believe our candidate TO be a sound,
honest and conservative man, who loves the
Union, aud regards the slavery question
from the standpoint Of the founders Of
this government. They rejoice at the op-
portunity Of again becoming members Of a
great national and patriotic party, one
which is able to wrest the federal govern
ment out of the hands Of the corrupt pro-
slavery democracy, aud administers il in the
spirit Of the fathers.

ABE LINCOLN,
The Rail Candidate,
For President In 1860.
Two rails beingpart of 1900 cut in 1890 ten miles sout
of Decatur, by Abe Lincoln and John Hanks.

Two rails: being part 1900 cut in $780, ten miles south
of Decatur, by Abe Lincoln and John Hanks.
A wild shout of laughter and applause,
mingled with rousing cheers and calls for
''Lincoln," brought "old Abe" to his feet.
Advancing to the edge of the platform, be
scanned the rails moment with good
humored and quizzical expression of coun-
tenance, and thus addressed the now silent
assembly:
"Well, gentlemen, 1 must confess do
not understand this. don't think know
anything more about it than you do. 1t is
very true that about thirty years ago l
came to Illinois poor boy, and that 1
landed in Macon county. A few days after
ward, went some miles south of this
place, in company with my old friend, John
Hanks, TO attend 10 some land which, we
had purchased, in the edge of the Sangam-
on timber. We cleared piece of ground
put up a log house and split about
5000 rails for our fencing; and do say
that think l did the larger share of the
work. Now, whether these two rails are
specimens of what made then, of course
cannot say; but one thing aOiu say-Pve
made good many better looking rails
than either one of them"
Then the house came down in perfect
storm of applause, for the orator had
reached the strong and honest hearts of the
throng of pioneers before him.
