Sketch of Abraham Lincoln.

Tho following extract from lettor writ
ton from Springfield, Illinois, confirms our
own delibcra,o impressions in ovely partic
ular:
mir. Lincoln, of our town, as YOU are
aware, is tho Republican candidate for the
Presidency, of course we'll known TO Us. and
we esteem him as man of great superiority
of character, intellectually and morally. Ho
is thoroughly conversunt with our political
system, his speeches are always very much
to the point, easy to bo understood, forcibIe
and convincing to high degree. He is
good talkor, Illustrating his remarks with an
opposite fund of anecdOte, and thoro are few
assomblagos In which he would net command
tho geneI al attention.
AS public man no would reithor be
assailed nor sWorye; | would as soon expect
Sam Adams to submit 20 the Stamp Act, or
Aristides Tin your house hOld) TO become un
just, as Abraham Lincoln TO dishonor him.

Presidency ! anticipate for him a fame

Those in other parts of the Union Who con.
slider him Second.r ratio man had better dis
abuse themselves at once of this error Mr..
Douglas, his competitor, has all the inferior
energies, but no moral force; no has no
proper conception Of a question that touc hes
the moral and religious sensibilities of a
people-and to suppose that tho slave ag.
itation can be settled or diminished by q
man of his typo is simply absurd, as we'll OK.

W. H. Seward in the Slave State of
Missouri,

Mr. Seward arrived with his party, at st.
Joseph. Missouri, on tho evening of tho 22d
and was welcomed by somo throo thousand
Missourians and delegation from Elwood.
Kansas. A procession nonrly n milo long.
and including hundreds Of Wido Awakos
with their burning lamps, escorted him to
tho Pateo House, which was illuminated in
honor Of his coming He was welcomed on
tho balcony, and introduced to tho people.
by 7. J. Boynton, Esq.
Aftor tho storm of applause which grooted
tho Senator had been stiIlcd. he said that
probably no man in tho world, since Colum-
bus stood upon tho deck Of his vessel, and
through the darkness discovered the shad-
nwy form of an island in Tho distance, light
cd BY fires kinlled by human hands. had
ever felt so much surprise and delight as
himself upon this occasion. Ho had no
thoughts of making q speech in St. Joseph
therefore, tho present demonstration was
entirely unexpected. In the past few weeks
he had travelled on tho sea coast, over the
hills of New England, along tho shores of
the Northern Lakes, ana in the great valley
of tho Mississippi, addressing tho people.
which mad worn him out, so that no speech
must be asked of him Tonight. Flo had
engagements across tho river, among a peo.
pie whose land had boen rodeemcd, and
Who. by long suffering in cause near to

thy and aGt ctiop Of moro than friandsh:p
After dwelling n few moments in culngy of
tho magnificent country through which he
had passed. and its future destiny. ho boldly
enunciatcd the doctrine of tho 'Irrcprcssi-
bio Conflict" saving that il was simply the
great Democratic principle that overy man
who tolls is honestly entitled to the fruits
of his labor; this principle had been adopted
in eighteen of the sovereign States Of this
contcderacy, and was going through tho
other fifteen, simply because ii was bound
TO 20 through tho world. He well knew
that many persons present differed from
| him on questions of public policy, but moth
/ ing ever deferred him from advocating what
ho believed to be right; ho needed only the
approval of his own conscience. and, al.
though ho loved the appreciation of his
countrymen, he was content to lot future
aen do him Justice.
Senator Seward spoke about half an hour.
and closed by paying beautiful tribute to
out system of government. in which no said
that tho Union would stand forever he had
nevor yot known man who loved slavery
moro than he did tho Union; indeed. ho
had net even found ono who loved liberty
better than the Union, for all Intelligent
