The bills organizing new Territories
were all killed by combination OF Demo-
Gratis, Americans, Anti -Lecomptonites and
a few Republicans, headed by Eli Thayer
OF Massachusetts. There was repugnance
with all Republicans against investing Mr..
Buchanan with any more Territorial pat
ronagc or appointments but it is of such
vital Importance that several Of these Ter
ritories should be organized. especially
Idohoe, pixies Peak;) Dakota, Western

Carson valley mines, that deeply regret
their failure Mr. Case of eur State, who
is on the Committc of Territories, made
an able and effective speech in their favor,
maintaining himself, in running debate
with the opponents of the bills, with mark
ed ability. But they were destined, from
the powerful combinations against them,
to go down, and they did.

ported River and Harbor bill, appropri-

will be reached and passed before the ses-
sion closes although being an appropria-
tion bill. it will require two-thirds vote
to save it from the Committee of The
Whole, tomb from which it could not

travels. 4 slight ANALYSIS Of his state
ment in connection with the date of Mr..
Lincoln's entrance in Congress is. Of it
self, sufficient refutation of the whole
charge. He says Mr.. Lincoln's speeches
"against his countrymen and in favor of
Mexico retired him from the political
arena. and the Wing party refused to re-
return him to Congress" Now it so hap
pens that Mr.. Lincoln was elected to Con-
gress just about the close of the Mexican
war. When he took his seat, Gen. Scott
was in possession of the city of Mexico.
and the war was virtually ended. Had
Mr.. lincoln occupied the position which
Col. Richardson falsely charges him with
having held in relation to the Mexican war.
does any man believe that an Illinois con-
stitueney-especially the district which
had sent the gallant Hardin and his brave
regiment TO the scene of cofliict-would
have elected him to Congress? The fact
that he was Sc elected. together with his
votes and speeches in Congress. proves the
whole story to be utterly false; and its
continued repetition, after its exposure,
shows the desperate strait to which the
party feels itself driven by the nomination
of an honest man and true patriot. 1t
will fail of Its purpose, however The
records of Congress are accessible, and
wherever q lie is uttered it viii be exposed.
Moreover, when the facts are all brought
out, the charge can be regarded in no other
light than as direct assault upon every
nah who was identified with the old
Wing party. Mr. Lincoln was in full
communion and sympathy with that party
the friend and associate of Clay, Web
ster. Crittenden, Hardin, and all its trust
ed leaders. He held the same opinions in
relation to the war, which they held, gave
the same votes they gave; and when Col.
Richardson seeks to fasten such charge
upon Mr.. Lincoln, he, by implication ut
least, accuses them and the whole rank
and file of the Wing party of the sam,
thing. Let US see il this miserable calumny
will be persisted in.-Press and Tri5.

leading article from which the following
is an extract
The readers Of the Times know very well
that, while we thus acknowledge no mere
partisan fealty. we have adhered steadily
to certain leading principles ofpublic pol
icy.-that we have always declared our
hostility to the extension of Slavery to
the re- opening Of the Slave trade: to the
prolonged supremacy of the Slaveholling
interest over the Federal Government to
all attempts at interference with Slavery in
the Southern States, and to the continu-
ancs Of the feeble and corrupt Administra-
|tion,. by which the best interests of the
country are now menaced with ruin, and
its character compromised in the eyes OF
all rejecting men, both at home and
abroad. We shall at all times pursue
such course as shall seem most likely to
secure these ends.
When all the parties to the Presidential
contest shall be fairly in the field, weshall
be better able to decide what course it be-
comes independent citizens--who love
their country more than any party-to
pursue. According to present appearances,
we have no hesitation in saying. that the
success Of the Republican ticket promises
to be the only practical mode Of escaping

prosperity Of the country. It seems prob

How "Abess Pulled Fodder.


We have heard, says the Evansville
lind Jyurnoi. the following anccdote re-
lated of the Peoples candidate for the
Presidency. which shows the love OF
knowledge. the industry. the conscientious
ness. and the integrity of the subject OF
this sketch !:
1t is well known that he lived in Spen-
Ger county above here in Indiana, in his
young days. He was hard working lad
and very eager in his thirst for knowledge.
A man namcd Crawford owned copy Of
"Weem's Life of Washington"--the only
one in the whole neighborhood. Young
Lincoln borrowed that interesting book,
(not having money to spare to buy one
and while reading it, by slight negligence
left it a window, when rain storm came
up and wet the book so as to ruin it,
Young Lincoln felt very badly, but like
an honest boy he went to Mr. Crawferd
with the ruined book, acknowledged his
accountability for its destruction, and was
willing to make due compensation. He
said he had no money, but would work
out the value of the book.
The owner of the book said to him,
"Well, Abe. being as it's You. went be
hard on you. If you will come over and
pull fodder for two days III let you of"
Abe went over accordingly, and pulled
fodder the requisite time, and SO tall and
handy a lad was he that Crawford required
him to pub the fodder off the tallest stalks
while he took the shortest ones himself
This story is told with much gusto BY
one of our prominent citizens who used tt
know Abe Lincoln in his younger days il
Spencer county, and who now--since th'
once humble lad has become the choice o
ia great party for the highest Office in tn
lworld-regards him with strong affection
and supports him with enthusiasm.
