IT, as the Democrats say, Lincoln is not
a man of frst-rate ability, why do they not
circulate his speeches, made during the Sen
atorial contest of 1858 in Illinois, where
he was pitted against Douglas, whom
all admit to be man of talent? Eight
months ago the Republican State Central
Committee of Ohio resolved to collect the
speeches made by Lincoln and Douglas in
Joint debate, and publish them as an cleo
tiomeerimg document. This was long before
Mr.. Lincoln was mentioned in connection
with the Presidency. They were collected
as taken down at their delivery by the re-
porter of each gentleman, and published by
Follett d. Foster, of Columbus, Ohio, and
extensively advertised and circulated by the
Republicans, Since the nomination of Mr..
Lincoln, nearly million of copies of these
debates have been circulated by the RePub-
licans, while the Democrats and friends of
Douglas have never done anything to circu
late the pamphlet. If Douglas is superior
to Lincoln-if Lincoln is not man of abil-
ity-how easy to prove it by free circula-
ton of these speeches. But the Democracy
will not be guilty of so great blunder as
to circulate "Old Abe's" speeches, side by
side with those of their 'Squaiter Sove-
reignty" candidate. Not they

PERSONA AND POLITICAL.

The Illinois State Journal, published at
Springfield, the home of Lincoln, says:
''The Democratic organs, the Register
among them, are so well satisfied that Mr..
Lincoln is to be the next President of the
United States, that they are already busily
engaged arranging his Cabinet. OF course
all their speculations are the merest guess
work, but they are at least straws which go
to show it is the expectation even of the
Democracy that Mr.. Lincoln will have the
naming of the next Cabinet officers. These
expectations will be fully verified in No
vember next"
"A letter from Mason county, in Vir-
GINA, says that the writer knows between
fifty and seyenty-fve people in his vicinity
who are sure to vote for Lincoln and Ham
lin. Considering that in the last campaign
there was not a vote cast there for Fremont,
the advance is not small. Places ike that
call for documents.
-Forney's Philadelphia Press believes
that Lincoln's nomination is CALLING and
overwhelming Democratic defeat, with any
other candidate than Douglas. But the
Journal Of Commerce believes Pennsylva-
mia is gone, any way, and the North West;
and that the battle ground must be in New
York State, under Horatio Seymour.
in Alexander HamiIton's first political
speech occur these eloquent words 1.-The
| sacred rights of man are not TO be rum
mayed for among old parchments or musty
records; they are written as with sunbeam
| in the whole volume of human nature, by
the hand of Divinity itself, and can never
be erased or obseured by moral power"

The Burlington (wis.) Gazette, says
that over fifty Germans in that village who
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket, have
expressed their determination to vote for
odd Abe next fall. Although Burlington
has heretofore been the stronghold of the
unterrifed.' and has always given large
Democratic majority, there are now strong
indications that the old rail splitter will
roll up majority, even in that hot bed Of
Democracy.

.CARIBALDI IN SICILY.

GaribaIdi, the hero of Italy, has landed
with his followers. and raised the standard
of revolt in Sicily The brave Sicilians
fiocked to his standard and rapidly sweiled
his army to $4,000 men-many of them
unarmed, and all without discipline, but with
the fervor and bravery which only the strug-
gle for liberty can command. The Neapolitan
government despatched its armies against
the insurgents, aad the official bulletins soon
after proclaimed that the government forces
had won decisive victories over the insur-
gents and that Garibaldi himself was fee
ing the country. But these proclamations
were only made to keep from the diseon-
tented populace at home, the true state of
the case, which is that Garibaldi has been
victorious everywhere, and has taken Pa
lermo the chief city of the island, that the
popuIace are rising and joining him by
thousands, and that the royal troops have
been cut to pieces by the insurgents whose
war-cry is ''no quarter
Sicily is practically free from Naples now.
But the revolution will extend to the main
land. The populace at home are ready for
revolt, if only the way can be opened to
them. Garibaldi's mission is to deliver
them, and he will do it. AS far as human
foresight can determine, the government of
Naples is practically at an end. Nothing
short of foreign interposition can defeat this
contamination.
Italy, united under Victor Emanuel,
with her watch words of elderly and hui
manity," and with the history of the past
to stimulate Ler, will not only take front
rank amongst the continental powers, but
will be beacon light for the oppressed OF
other natioualities.

SENATOR SUMNER.

Pending the vote on the Kansas bill SEN
ator Sumner made lengthy speech on the
slavery question, the first he has delivered
since the brutal assault upon him By Brooks:
Mr.. Sumner closed as follows: "Thus,
sir, speaking of freedom in Kansas have
spoken for freedom everywhere and for civ
ilization; and as the less is contained in the
greater, so are all sciences, all refnements,
all charities, all delights of life embodied in
this cause. You may regret il, but 1t will
be only for to-day. The sacred luminosity
between freedom and slavery can end only
in the triumph of freedom. The same
question will soon be carried before that
high tribunal, supreme over the Senate and
Court, where the Judges will be counted by
millions, or where the judgment rendered
will be the solemn charge of an aroused
people instrueting new President in the
name of freedom, so that civilization receives
no detriment."
Mr.. Chestnut made brief response to
Mr.. Summers speech, speaking of it as ex-
traordinarv. After ranging over Europe,
sneaking through the back doors of En-
glish aristocracy and fawning at their feet,
this slanderer of States and men had reap
peared in the Senate. We had hoped that
after the punishment he had received for his
former insolence, that he would have learn
ed propriety, but he had reached his former
vulgarities and mendaeity. The Egyptians
defed reptiles. but it remains for northern
Abolitionists to Defy an embodiment o.
malice, mendacity and cogardice. He was
not inclined to put further punishment or
the receiver of q former punishment, who
had gone bowling through The world, vel
ling out volumes of SANDER. He would
therefore, ebdeavor to keep quiet.
Mr.. Sumner said he had pointed out the
barbarism of slavery. and the Senator's re-
joinder should go as au appendix and fitting
illustration of the argument
A night or two after these proceedings
in the Senate an individual representing
himself as from Virginia, called at Mr.
Summers room and imperiously demandei

and sent up word that they wished to see

him the next morning. They did not ap-

WILD CATS.

A few weeks since we cautioned our read
ers against receiving the notes of 'fbank-
ing institution which lad recently been
started at Lawrence. Since that time we
have learned that a systematic attempt is
being made throughout the Territory TO
force the notes of this "wild cat" into circu
lation.
The 'eharter'' under which this institu-
ton is working was granted by the Terri
torial Legislature of 1858. But by an act
of Congress (of 1920 we believe) all char
tiers for banks of issue granted by the Leg
slature of any Territory must, before be-
coming operative, be submitted TO Congress
for its approval. This charter has never
been so submitted and of course all bills is
sued by it are illegal and worthless.
But even if the charter was legal and
the right to issue bills unquestioned, the
security on the basis of which these bills
are issued is worthless. More than two
thirds their whole issue is secured by the
pledge of the Territorial "Claim Bonds, -
about which so much has been said recent
". These bonds we're issued on the award
Of the "Claim Commissioners" in direct
defiance Of lar, and the people of Kansas
are not bound by them and of course will
never pay them as they never received an
equivalent therefor. The bills are of course
no better than the security on which they
are issued.
| 1t is about two months since the ''bank"
only were put out in the hands of friends,
which the "bank" stood ready to redeem
with specie whenever presented at its coun-
ter In this manner they have quietly ex-
tended their circulation until they assume
to control the Lawrence ''money market -
Instead of trying to s"coax" their notes in
to circulation they now try 10 force mer-
chants of Lawrence to give currency to
their "wild cat'' issues. Of course they
sympathize with similar institutions else
where, and recently an arrangement has
been effected by which large amount OF
the Lawrence Bank issues have been ex-
changed for that Of Wisconsin concern Of
similar character. The Kansas ''wild CATS
will be circulated in Wisconsin, and the
Wisconsin stuff in Kansas-neither being
worth the paper on which they are printed

The last European steamer brings a report
that France and Russia had agreed to Far
tition of Turkey. England was to be of
fered share, and if she refused, they would
90 on without her. Never was rich con-
sumptive uncle more in the way of heirs
who expected to inherit his patrimony than
is this ''sick man" of Turkey in The way of
the greedy European powers who are in
position to profit by his speedy demise.
France and Russia, are the only continental
powers that can turn from home affairs long
enough to assist at and profit by the dis
memberment of Turkey. Austria is pros
trate. Prussia is in struggle for the lead
ership of the German States, and Sardinia is
too young power and too much engrossed
with securing what she already has to med
die, and especially as Victor Emanuel owes
his whole kingdom to the French Emperor.
England may protest. She, with France,
spent thousands of brave lives and millions
of treasure at Alma, Inkerman, and before
Sebastopol, for the avowed purpose of pre-
serving the integrity of the Ottoman En-
pire from the designs of Russia. But now,
Napoleon, repudiating the Anglo French
alliance, joins with Russia in the further
ance CT the vers object he so recently la
bored to prevent--only that now he is a
party in interest in the distribution. It is
doubtful if England will undertake to inter
fere in continental affairs against France and
Russia There are no influences on the
continent that could be made available
against those two powers. The days Of
Turkey are probably numbered. and the
map of Europe will hereafter be guiltless Of
the red print indicating its boundaries.

The latest advices from Mexico are to the
effect that the Liberal, or Juarez Govern
ment, would not long be able to sustain it
self All the recent statements of their
victories appear to have been exaggerated.
The Church, or Miramon party, is daily
gaining ground. and its ascendancy is con-
sidered as good as established. This Church
party is intensely anti American in all its
