Life Of Abe Lincoln by Stephen
A. DOUGLAS.

We extract the following brief recital
of the career Of Mr.. LINCOLN, from one o:
the speeches made By Judge DoUGLAs dur
ing the canvass in Illinois in 1858:
Il have known Mr.. Lincoln for nearly
twenty five years. We had many points
Of sympathy when | first got acquainted
with him. We were both comparatively
boys; both struggling with poverty in a
strange town for our support a humble
school teacher in the town OF Winchester,
and he 4 fourishng grocery keeper in the
town Of Salem. lie was more uccessful
in occupation than |, and hence became
more fortunate in this worlds goods.
made as good school teacher As | could,
and when a cabinet maker | made the best
bedstead and tables, but my old boss said
| succeeded better in bureaus and secreta-
ries than in anything else. But | believe
Mr.. Lincoln was more successful in his
business than |, for his business soon car
red him directly into the Legislature
There | met him in a little time, and l had
a sympathy for him because of the up hill
struggle we had in life. lie was then as
good at telling an anecdote as now.
lie could beat any of the boys at Wrest-
ling, could outrun them at foot race, beat
them at pitching quoits and tossing cop
per, and could win more liquor than all
the boys put together, and the dignity and
imparliality with which lie presided at a
horse race or a fist fight won the praise of
everybody that was present and participant
ed.
Hence had sympathy for him, be
cause he was struggling with misfortune,
and SO was l. Mr.. Lincoln served with
me, or | with him, in the Legislature OF
1886, when we parted. He subsidized OF
submerged for some years, and lost sight
of him. In 1910, when Wilmot raised
the Wilmot proyiso tornado, Mr.. Lincoln
again turned up as a member Of Congress:
| from Sangamon district. I, being in the
Senate of the United States, was called
to welcome him, then without friend OF
companion. lie then distinguished him
self by his opposition to the Mexican war.
/ taking the side of the common enemy, IN
time Of war, against his own county,
When he returned homo from that Con
gres5 he found that the indignation Of the
people followed him everywhere, until he
again retired to private life, and was sub
merged until he was again forgotten by
his friends. lie came up again in 1854,
in time to make the abolition black repub
lican platform, in company with Lovejoy,
Giddings, Chase and Fred Douglas, for the
| Republican party to stand upon.

The Benecia Boy at Liverpool
No moro Eighting.

HEENAN has been making trip in the
country, to see various parts Of England
\ Liverpool payer of the 18th inst. says:
On Wednesday evening, the 2 inst,
Heenan arrived in Liverpool from Ches-
ter, and took up his quarters at the Wa,
terloo Hotel. His visit was kept strictly
private, SO that no manifestation took
place on his behalf, AID even the persons
II the hotel were not aware, for some time,
of thh presence Of the far famed Benecia
boy. He WAS accompanied by two Amer
lean friends, said TO be his backe's in the
recent contest for the championship. So
careful was the Anne i an pugilist to avoid
recognition, that lie moved about under
an assumed name. On Wednesday eve
ming and Thursday forenoon he visited sew
era places in the town, and among Others
mazda a call at the Clay ton Hall, where he
remained a shat time, and had an inter
view with some friends lie lad known in
America.
"In the afternoon Heonan and his two
friends proceeded to London by the 40
afternoon train. The party occupied a
first class carriage. Teeuan having been
recognized by one CT two Of the railway
officials, the fact Of lis }resence was made
known TO several persons who happened
to be III the station at the time, and they
Immediately sought to crafty their curi-
oslty by attempting to get a sight Of the
fighting man some were successful,
but others were denied the qualification,
for the party, on finding themselves rec
ognized, drew up the blinds of the carri-
age, TO protect themselves from the pub
lie gaze. We understand that two Liver
pool gentlemen were by special desire, al
lowed to sec Lieenan, with whom they ex-
changed the customary courtesies. One
Of the spectators, who had previously
known Heenan, describes him as being
considerably altered since ho passed thro'
Liverpool on his arrival in this country to
contest the championship"
In reporting the proceeding in Liver
pool of the American champion, another
Liverpool paper says:

ting that there Till be no renewal Of the
contest with uecnan.'

make the greatest sacrifices of private feel

be nothing in my character to justify this
accusation, what is there in the platform and
principles upon which stand. If in these
there is anything to justify the, accusation il
must be in the resolutions, as to property i'm
the Territories. L will read them and YOU
can judge whether they accord the position
OF the Supreme Court and the Government
as | have shown it to-day After reading
the resolutions, he continued: That is the
platform and these the principles avowed. -
1t they are constitutional they are not section
al, for the Constitution is broad enough to
cover the whole Union. Cheers. He who
stands upon the Constitution can neither be
sectional nor Disunionist These principles
are taken almost Uerbitem, from the Supreme
Court of the United States They are sup
ported by the prcccdents and practice of the
Government They arc principles upon which
we may well live. and by which we may well
all be willing to die Loud chrers. They
are vital, Important, and they concern the
rights of person aud property. They can
not be abstract minute and unimportant, for
they concern the honor and equality of the
States"
Mr. Breckinridge then proceeds to show
that Mr.. Crittenden voted for Senator Davis
territorial resolutions and defended them in
n speech in which he declared that ga ter
rtorial Government was creature of Con-
gress, endowed only with tho power conferred
upon 1t by its creator, and with no particle
of sovereignty" He showed that the prin-
ciples upon which the party who nominated
HIM stood had been endorsed and sanctioned
by the Government, affirmed by the highest
judicial tribunal in the world, voted to be
true by the two political parties in Kcntecky
in 1859, assented to by both branches of the
Legislature, and by an overwhelming major
ity of the whole Democratic Party of Ken
tucky, and declared by Mr.. Crittenden to be
sound and true.
These are the chief points made by the
speaker, up to the close of the telegraphic re-
port for the New York papers.
In making this brief summary of the re-
marks of Mr. Breckinridge, we take occasion
to express our regret that in his position, he
considered it proper to acquiesce in the wishes
of his friends and neighbors, to take the stump
even IN single instance. lie has followed a
bad precedent in thus apparently justifying
the undignifed course pursued by Douglas.
| His public career was a sufficient vindication
OF his own soundness, consistency and patriot
ism, and the principles of his party are so plain
| ly IN consonance with the Constitution, and
have been so clearly expounded by the highest
judicial authority of the Government, sus
tanned by the unanimous action of the Demo
cratic Senators--that in our opinion, the ne
cessity did not exist for this departure from
the wise and dignifed course heretofore pur.
sued by Presidential nominees. - Guaytli0n
