Honest Abe of the West"
Richfeld. III.

Ye sons of the pilgrims politically blest,
Your leader is worthy "Honest Abe of the
west"
Your banner is liberty then seek not for rest
Till you have elected Honest Abe of the west.
While our opponents are fighting and feath-
eriDg their nest,
We will march on to victory with Abe of the
west.
Let Slaveccrats threaten it increases our zest;
We are bound to elect Honest Abe of the west.
Steve's Popular Sovereignty is nought but a
pest,
Intervention and honesty is with Abe of the
west.
Breck & Lane have slavery their prominent
crest;
Intelligence and freedom is with Abe of the
west.
With Union and truth our banner is dressed,
lis unfurled to the world by tall Abe of the
west,
He is the champion of freedom, giant the
best,
The tallest of giants We have in the west.

one; that each of the three representative
districts have had the Senator in rotation;
and that when Wayne has again had him,
it will be in order for Pike to take her

elections for preference between aspirants
to the nominations. The contest there
for the Senatorship is between Mr.. Mott

HTThe Hon. Henry d. Foster, Dem.
ocratic candidate for Governor, is 10 q
fair way of losing the confidence of both
wings of his party. He is said to enter
tain strong Douglas proclivities, which
renders him obnoxious to the Bfeckin
ridge men. He is further said to favor
the action of the majority of the State
Committee, in proposing that the Douglas
men should vote for the Breckenridg ge
'disunionists,' fas they are called oD the
electoral ticket. Several of the leading
organs Of the Douglas party take excep
tion to this. and say that it will lose Eos
ter ct least fifty thousand votes in the
State. The Press, in reference to Mr..
Fosters course, says that sin q crisis like
"this, no double dealing and no equivocal

Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin Club.


Pursuant to call, the friends of Lincoln,
Haulin and Curtin met at the Court
House, on Monday evening, the 10th in
slant, for thepurpose Of organizing a Club,
and were called to order By the election
of Jacob L. Wickoff, President. Wm. 5
Wintemute and DR.. Sydenham Walton,
Vice Presidents, aud j. Lsnta, Secretary.
On motion, the President was iOstruc-
ted to appoint the following Committees;
On permanent officers for the Club:
Morris Evans, Davis d. Walton. Hen
ry C. Wolfe, Wm. Clements, j. Lantz.
Committee to procure Room for use OF
the Club:
Charles Emery, Henry Shoemaker.
james McNesl, Reuben r. Cress, John
n. Stokes.
VIM Davis, Esq, was then loudly call
ed upon for speech, to which he respon-
ded in a lengthy and we'll directed ad-
dress, clearly setting forth the Issues be-
tween the parties, and requested all
to select which they would serve.-But
showed it to be clearly the duty of every
true patriot who desires the prosperity OF
the country, and wishes to rebuke the
corrupt Federal Administration, to rally
to the support Of Lincoln, Hamlin and
Curtin.
He exposed the hypocrisy Of the Read
ing State Convention, which put in noml-
nation Henry D. Foster, for Governor,
and pretends to present him as peace
Offering to the Anti. Lecomptonites, by
reading the following resolution adopted
at that Convention:
"ReSolUed, That we regard the domestic
and foreign policy of President Buchan-
an as eminently ratriotic, pure, conSerra-
tive and jvSt; and We look upon the suc-
cess which has crolCned his LaborS as the
best and 1oroucJeSt sindication of the propri
ety and aciSc1one of his Administration"
Here is a clear and explicit endorse
nent of all the Presidents Kansas policy
without a single qualifying word, and,
therefore, all who vote for Foster are
compelled to vote in appreciation Of every
act of james Buchanan. Can anything
be more certain than that this is glaring
piece of deception, intended to be palmed
off on the unsuspectiug ones, who are op-
posed to the present National Admins
tration on principlel Let those be de-
ceiyed who will be.
The meeting was more than twice as
large as any Club meeting held this year,
and much more enthusiastic. The meet
adjourned to meet in the Court House. on
next Monday evening, the Esd inst, to
receive reports Of Com uittees, and to per-
feet the organization of the Club.

posed respectively of Buehanau admirers.
aud Breckenridge and Douglas lovers,
met in the Court House, and was address
ed by John F. Drinkbouse Esq, afte,
which Samuel S. Dreher offered a set oi
resolutions declaring Douglas to be the
regular nominee Of the Democratic party,
and repudiating all idea of union with
the Breckenridge Seeeders, except the
Breckenridge men unqualifedly vote The
Douglas ticket. This seriously disturbed
the equiniuity of the Buchsnan ad dmirers
and Breckenridge lovers, which brought
ont the "irrepressible niger" in full har.
ness. The Breckenridge lovers declared
boldly thst Douglas could not get sin.
gle electoral Tote without fusion with
their favorite. Whereupon the Dougls:
lovers declared themselves in favor oi
Douglos and no one else. The Breckeu.
ridges replied that this was all wrong
and that they "were ready to unite With
sny body, and didn't care a damn who,
if they could only beat Old Abe." The
Resolutions were, nevertheless, carried
by pretty strong vote. There were as
persons present, | 5 of whom we're Repub.

of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and New

find the political fields rather mared'
Republicans are generally spirited and
wide awake and feel the majesty of their
power, as well as appreciate union and har-
mony of their principles. The selection
of A. Lincoln, as the standard bearer
gives general satisfaction, except to the
Democracy. They feel great sympathy
for that distinguished statesman Wm. q.
Seward. The fact is, the public, as we'll
as private life, of Lincoln has been SO
pure that he makes poor target for our
enemies. Those democratic guns loaded,
ready to blow up Seward and the Republi-
can party, as abolitiouists, cannot be
brought to bear so admirably on the nom
iuee of the Chicago Convention; who, to
cut long story short, is bound to be the
neat President. AS we never indulge in
making assertions without proof, We cheer
fully submit the reasons.
lst-Tbe Republican principles, on the
principal issue, are the same as those Of
the founders of our government. See Dec
laration of Independence, and the opin-
ions of distinguished statesmen OF that Pc
riod.
2d-The intelligent masses of the peo-
pic know these facts, and like the Fathers,
regard Liberty as the positive and Slavery
as the negative principle, in this govern

that it is destroying itself by its own cor

10 the South, which will weaken materi-
ally the two factions Of the Democracy

Lastly, when I take an impartial sur

substance Of course of popular lectures, pre-
pared by DR.. w. A. Alcott. II is measure
bly, free from all hobbies and extravagances.
! 1t teaches us how we may avoid the too con-
slant use of medicines and nostrums, and
and when it may be proper to consult and
employ physician. 1t contains very many
valuable and practical suggestions on the va
rious subjects spoken of in the title page and
may prove very useful book in all families,
not so much to teach how TO cure diseases,
as to prevent their occurrence. The laws
and means of physical culture, adapted to
practical use, are laid down in a manner
within the comprehension of all.
Technicalities have been avoided, and the
rules and observance of all the laws are SIM
ply exempllfed.
| A work of this character is so essential to
families, particularly to young mothers, that
few should be without it.
The great number of deaths among infants
has already created an alarm in families, and
reflections have been made upon the failures
of physicians in their attempt to cure.
The philosophy of diet is one ofthe features
of the book and the canses Of consumption, q
most important one. This is treated by the
doctor in most striking and original manner,
and his means of how to prevent it, are laid
down in plain and unmistakeable language

From British tyranny set free,
They paved the way to liberty.
CHORUS
For we've a. man for freedom halls
Who once was good at mauling rails;
He'll maui the spoilsmen with delight,
Then beat and scoop 'em all outright.
Such patriots for freedom hail,
We're bound their enemies to "fail;'
They "lamb'd" the British with delight,
And put their army all to flight.
Now Southern tyrants curse and swear,
Our glorious fabric down they'll tear;
Dsunion has become their cry,
To .xule and ruin" ere they die.
Four years ago they chose man
To carry out their hellish plan.
Jimmy's misrule will soon be oer,
And of his like we'll have no more.
He told the Judges to declare
That slavery should 60 everywhere
To let the Northern people know
They'd s.crush out Freedom" at blow.
Old Roger Taney did decide
That Faedom should be ''set aside,
And all our fair and lovely land
Should yield to Slavery's demand.
Then let us say to one and all
Just vote for HONEST ABE this Fall;
With him we cannot but prevail,
With him, there's no such Dord as ta".
