Humors Of the Campaign.

Ihe Louisville Journal tries to make
itself witty over what 1t Is pleased to cali
"Lincoln's long, penetrating nose" We
can assure it, that the prominent fea.
turs in that glorious old mans rhysogno-
my is just now the seenfsr Of attrie-
ton.
| When the dispatch announcing tho
declination of Hon. Benz Fitzpatrick,
who was nominated on the Douglas tick
ct Tor Vice President, was received in
Alton, an old citizen remarked that the
Douglas party may. have got rid of the
"pstrick," but he thought they had
"Ftz" yet.-AliOn Courier.
SOMEWHAT SINGULAR.-Thcre have bean
eighteen elections of President. In elev-
en- OF them the name Of the individual
elected ended with the letter n. With
only one exception, the name Of every
President who has served two terms had
this termination. In only one case has,
a candidate for reelection, with N final
in his name, been defeated and even in
this case the name of the successful can
didAte possessed this suspicious termin.
ation.-Prov. Journal.
This fact must be Encouraging to Lin:
coin and Hamlin.
A Nashville paper says:
The Republicans are gathering up and
making campaign documents" Of no.
600 rails" which Lincoln and ga man
named Hanks" are said to have split in
1880. Not to be outdone, the Baltimore
Convention Democracy, with the same
object in view, are hunting up all the
bricks the Little Giant has carried in his
hat for the last twenty years. They are
said to be very numerous.
NOTHING NEW USDER THE SUS.-The
most careful readers Of the Scripture have
sometimes remarked that no matter how
carefully or how frequently they have stu
died the Bible, they are sure to find
something new-that is, new to them, of
course, because the thought was there
from the beginning, and their minds on
ly became gradually prepared to discover
it. The lesson is constantly enforced, in
this way, that man is very much the same
as formerly, and that the same things
happen to the race now as in former
times. But we were scarcely prepared
to find so close description Of the claims
of the Republican candidate to distinc-
ton, as we see in Psalm "a, v. 5: al
man ,Cas famous according as he lad lifted
up ares upon the thick trees. "-Bosson
Courier.
In New York, according to the sedate
Courier and Enquirer, the caroline of
the favorite songSter, the hob-a link, has
not only been changed bat greatly i'm
proved. Instead Of dob g. lincoln
"Bob-a-lincoln, I" the fields, the meadows,
and every cluster of waving grass, send
forth the spirit-stirring note Of "Abe-a-
Observation-Disclosures" A strange
fact this, in ornithology but if any Of
the Democracy doubt It, let them take q
run into the rural districts, and they will
at once perceive how completely the po-
litical tone Of the country has adapted
itself to the air Of freedom which pro.
claims the triumph Of Republicanism
and how even the feathered tribe unite
in singing praises in behalf of one who
has been selected to be the standard bear
er Of the army of freedom, which 20

the dignity of free labor.
Going to AbrIham's bosom is a con-
summation Of life devoutly to Be wished.
But . Connecticut orator seeing the pop
ular enthusiasm for Lincoln, thinks that
Abraham has got into the bosom of tho
people. OH
Some politicians are trying to prove
that "Old Abe" is deficient in abe ilfy.'
--Transerips.
The efforts of such politicians, neigh.

with "Bill" Seward as q Cabinet officer,
we rather think will be conspicuous for

"HAx0MAx's DAY."-Democratic edi-
tors are alarmed, because a. they say,
Lincoln was nominated on ''hangmGn's
day." and they zee visions Of the 'execu-
ton Of modern Democracy: The n6mi-
nation of Lincoln and Hsmlin was tan
