" SPOT - LINCOLN.

Abe Lincoln. the irrepressible candidate
for President, was a member Of Congress
in 1861 and distinguished himself BY
his opposition TO the American cause in
the war with Mexico. During the PEN
dancy before Congress Of the bill making
appropriations for the support Of the sol
diers in Mexico, Mr.. Lincoln introduced
the following resolulioes, which gained
him the sobroquet of "spot" Lin0n:

We extract the following brief recital of
the career of Mr.. Lincoln from one of the
speeches made by Judge Douglas during
the canvass in Illinois in 1858:
IL have known Mr.. Lincoln for nearly
twenty i've years. We had points Of sym.
pathy when first got acquainted with
him. We were both comparatively bows:
both struggling with poverty in strange

them IN foot race. beat them at pitching
quolts and tossing Il copper. and could
win more liquor than all the boys put to-

HOW 1T Is REC EIvED

In -ain do the republicans look for any
enthu siastic demonstrations over the Chi
eago nominations. North and South.
Eas, and West the names of Lincoln and
Hamlin are received with the coolest in.
difference. Leading republicans do not
disguise their grea, surprise and chagrn.
Nor do they feign a satisfaction that they
do not feel. The rank and fye Of the
party are warmly attached TO their pecu-
liar doctrine and feel tie strongest sym
patty with their distinguished opponents
Having obtained the ascendency in most
Of the Northern States they regarded their
prospect. Of success in the coming elec
ton - flatterng, they were ready and
anxious to hoaor with their confidence and
SURFACES those o whom the party owes its
credits existence and It's prosperity
Instead Of giving form aud expression to
this-feeiing the Chicago Convention was
governed BY other considerations, and pan.
