of procuring for US the q bust of Hon.
Abraham Lincoln, and hereby request Mr..
Lincoln to sit for the same.

which supported Fillmore in sc is now sup
porting Lincoln heartily. 1t is now evident
that nearly all the voters in our State who
really desire the overthrow of the Sham
Democracy, will vote for honest Abe LIN
coin, the peoples candidate. Not paper
in the State supports Bell. This isn't caus-
ed by any dislike of him, but for the rea-
son that everybody knows that to vote for
him isn't to oppose Democracy.-Se Seymour

hold of Douglasism, the Republicans are

enthusiasm prevails. Politicians are out of
the field, and the people are disposed to
have their own way and elect man whose
every impulse is with them.-Ind. Jour.
