Thursday Morning, Nov. %, 1850.

THE letter which VIC publish on or
FIRST page, from special reporter Of Il.
New York Post, will be read wish gener
interest. We look upon it as reladvef
reliable, and as being probably nearer MI.
Lincoln's confidence, than anything which,
has yet appeared. According to the sums
mary of the Post, the country may learn
from this letter tho following facts con-
corning Mr.. Lincoln:
1. That he will conduct his administers
ton according to the principles laid
down in his speeches and public declara
tions made before his nomination, and that
he will not be driven from that position by
the threats either of the SecesSionists or
of impractic0ble Republicans. He means
10 give the country the trial of a Rcpubli-
can administration, if be lives.
.. He will make no public declarations
of his futare policy, until il becomes his
constitutional dutyto do So-his reason,
aud it is a conclusive one, being, that
while he and his administration are
threatened, seif-resPect, respect for the
people who voted for hin, and respect for
the form Of government under which be
lives aud chertShes, forbid it.
General Jackson pursued twenty-eight
wears ago in reference TO qualification, aud
will act as much like him as difference iii
circumstances will permit.
4. That he will look for his Cabinet
among political friends, and not elsewhere.
He will not invite the late Mr.. Bell to a6-
minister on his own estate.
5. He does not expect to devote the time
which belongs to the nation, during his
presidential term, in Pcddiiug places in
custom-houses aud poStofices. As soon
as he gets an opportunity of advising with
competent friends, he will select his heads
of department, snd To them he will COM
nit the labor of selecting subordinate otf-
GERS, and the responsibility for their heha-
vior.
6. We infer from the conclusion of the
paragraph next to the last, that he will in
vite no man to his cabinet, from the NORTH
or South, who is unwilling to be commit
ted, fully and unreservediy, 10 the policy
of the Republican party,
We trust the gentlemen about Wash
ingtou who have been trying to frightel
Mr.. Lincoln into the acceptance Of ter
abused oftheir error by perusal of tbi
letter, and begin 70 set their houses il
order, preparatory to the impending change
Mr. Lincoln has made no pledges anC
cutered into no bonds to embarrass hi
action as President. and he does not NEAR
10 be embarrassed by anybody else. Il,
means TO be President of the United If h,
is chosen by the electors, without an,
restriction, limitation, or condition not t.
be found in The constitution of the United
States and in the heart of every patriot,
citizen.

Letter From Wood County.

From private letter to the Imtsiiigenesr,
yesterday, from Wood county, we take the
following extract. Speaking of the 81
votes that were cast in that county for
Lincoln. the writer says
We had no organization except in the
upper cud of the county, SO that we had
tickets at but three precincts. Tue vote
IN Parkersburg Was 81; in Williamsport,
lGi at Ogden's 2s; in this precinct we had
o votes more than Douglas and Breckin-
ridge combined, % more than Douglas,
and 10 more than Breckenridge, and run
only IL behind Bell. In the county we
run 20 ahead of Douglas Considering
that VIC tonight uphill and in the face of an
open fire from all three parties, we think
we have done well. We increased our
vote from in 1856, to 81 in 1860. Have
amy of your "Pan-handie" counties in
creased in a greater ratio in the same time!
The very day after the
Presidential election IL number of our on
pOnents had the names of our prominent
Republicans before the grand jury and
summoned some forty or fifty of their
neighbors to fish up all they had ever said,
read or circulated; even private CONVERSE
tions were sifted by these narrow-souIed
phrtizans, in the hope of finding enough
their supHriors in everything that consti-
tutes good citizenship.
An Indictment was found against Mr.
James Sngden, one of our most esteemed
and useful citizens; one who, by his mechan-
ical skill and untiring industry has done
as much TO build up our county as any
other man in it; but he had the moral
courage TO vindicate his manhood bv
working and voting for whom lie pleased
for president-this and nothing else is the
real cause of his persecution, though the
pretext is that he was seen "punchiug
holes" in a "Helper book"
Others, we are told, are to be hunted
down in the same way. The hounds, we
are informed, arc on the track, and urged
with relentless fury. Is it possible That
the public opinion OF our State will iusti-
fly persecution like this, of such char
acter as to bring back to memory the
justly abhorred political star chamber of
