Two Partisan ltsrateurs quarrelled about
the size of the capitals in which their names
should appear in "poster." One Of them
went to the others house and threw raw
eggs at the ceiling of each room. The
"party of the second part" procured bas-
ket of eggs and flung them all at the head
of his opponent.

A speech Of ABRAHAM Lincoln.

The following extract from one of Abra-
ham Lincoln's speeches in reply to Douglas,
has a curious pertinency to the present
TIME, when he is so unanimously nominated
by united party for President, while
Douglas cannot get the nomination of even
the distracted and disorganized faction
called Democracy:
"There is still another disadvantage un-
der which we labor, and to which | will ask
your attention. 1t arises out of the rela-
tive position of the two persons who stand
before the State as candidates for the Sen
ate. Senator Douglas is of worldwide
renown. All the anxious politicians of his
party, or who have been of his party, or
who have been of his party for years past,
have been looking upon him as certainty,
at no distant day to be the President of
the United States. They have seen in his
round, jolly, fruitful face, post-offices, land
Offices, marshalships and cabinet appoint
ments, chargeships and foreign missions,
bursting and sprouting out in wonderful ex-
uberance, ready to be laid hold of by their
greedy hands. And as they have been
gazing upon this attractive picture SO long,
they cannot, in the little distraction that
has taken place in the party, bring them
selves to give up the charming hope; but
with greedier anxiety they rush about him,
sustain him, and give him marches, tri-
umphal entries, and receptions, beyond
what evon in the days Of his highest pros
perity they could have brought about in
his favor. On the contrary, nobody has
ever erpected me to be President. In my
poor, lean, lank face nobody has ever seen
that any cabbages were sprouting out
These are disadvantages all taken together
that the Republicans labor under. We hav.
to fight this battle upon principle, and up
on principle alone. 1 am, in certain

off slavery is right, all words, acts, laws,
and constitutions against it are themselves
wrong and should be silenced and swept
away. If it is right, we cannot Justly OBJ
ject to its nationality-its universally. If
it is wrong, they cannot justly insist upon
its extension-its enlargement. All they
ask VIC could readily grant, if We thought
slavery right: all we ask they could as read
lily grant if they thought it wrong. Their
thinking IL fright, and our thinking IL sOrong,
is the precise fact upon tOhich depends the
sOhOle controversy. Thinking it right, as
they do, they are not to blame for desiring
its full recognition as being right; but,
thinking il wrong, as VIC do, can We yield

our moral, social, and political responsible
ties can we do this T--Abrahan Lincoln.
Here the question at issue between the
two great parties Of the country is ably
and clearly statedi Is Slavery right or Is
Slavery wrongl The answer is touch
stone 10 every mans politics. Abraham
Lincoln saw this and proclaimed it on the
stump against the specious theory Of Doug
las. Lincoln characterized Douglas theory
as the "don't care policy" For Douglas
often declared that he didn't caro- whether
Slavery was voted up or down" But Lin
coin, believing Slavery to be tho 'sum of all
villanies" does care, and we'll says the Dem
ocrats thinking it right, and the Republi-
cans thinking it wrong, sis the precise fact
upon which depends the whole controversy"

WASHINGTON. May 30. 1850


GENTLEMEN: Your official communica-
ton of the 18th inst, informing me that
the Representatives of the Republican par
ty of the United States assembled on that
day had, by unanimous vote, selected me
as their candidate for the Office of Vice
President of the United States, has been
received, together with the resolutions
adopted by the Convention as its declara-
ton of principles. Those resolutions enun-
ciate clearly and forcibly the principles
which unite us and the objects proposed to
be accomplished. They address themselves
to all, and there is neither necessity or pro-
priety in my entering upon discussion of
any of them. They have the approval of
my judgment and any action of mine will
be faithfully and cordially sustained. am
profoundly gratifed to those with whom it
is my pride and pleasure politically to OPP
crate, for the nomination so unexpectedly
conferred, and l desire to tender through
you to the members of the Convention, my
sincere thanks for the confidence thus re-
posed in me. Should the nomination
which I now accept be ratified by tho peo-
pie, and the duties devolve upon me of
presiding over the Senate of the United
States, it will be my earnest endeavor
faithfully to discharge them with just re-
gard to the rights of all.
1t is to be observed in connection with
the doings of the Republican Convention,
that paramount object with us is TO pre-
serve the normal condition of our Terrific
rial domain as homes for freemen. The
able advocate and defender of Republican
principles, whom you have nominated for
the highest place that can crafty the am
bition Of man, comes from State which
has been made what it is by special action
in that respect of wise and good men who
founded our institutions. The rights Of
free labor have there been vindicated and
maintained. The thrift and enterprise
which so distinguished Illinois, ono of the
most f1ourishing States of the glorious
west, we would see secured to all the terri.
tories of the Union, and restore peace and
harmony to the whole country by bringing
back the government to what it was under
the wise and patriotic mon who created it
If the Republicans shall succeed in that
object, as they hope to, they will be held
in grateful remembrance by the busy and
teeming millions of future ages.
am very trul ly yours.

natural gas, This yapor, with which the sub

the following manner "A hole is made in the
cellar Of the house, or other locality, with an
iron rod; hollow tube is then placed therein,
fitted with burner similar to those used for
ordinary gas lights and Immediately on APP
plying flame to the jet soft and brilliant
light is obtained, which may be kept burning
at pleasure. The gas is very pure, quite tree
from any offensive smell, and does not stain
