Our Republican friends are making n
great blow about Lincoln receiving large
majority of the popular vote in the cam
paign of 1858. when he and Douglas were
running for the U. 5 Senate. The follow
ing from the Detroit Free Press, contains
the facts in the case, in about as blief q
manner as we have seen them. and for the
benefit of our readers generally, we copy
them. The Republicans are welcome to
all the poor comfort they can extract from
Lipcoln's populority at home:

1t is asserted that majority of the popu-
lar vote WAS cast for Lincoln, notwlthstand

opposed to him. This is : mistake. A
majority of the popular vote was for Dou
