ABRAHAM LINcoI.N

In Thomas Jefferson's celebrated letter to
the New Haven merchants who had remon-
strated against the removal of EIizur Good
rich from the Collectorship of that port and
the appointing of a successor whose chief
qualification was that he partisan of the
President, hope is expressed that a good
time may come when the only questions about
a candidate for Office will be these three: ssIs
he honest ?-Is he capable lis he faithful to
the Constitution 20
When Jefferson said good thing, he said 1t
well, aud this is one of his good things
Those three questions are just the questions
which the people of the United States ought
10 ask IN regard to candidates for the Presi-
dency. Let Abraham Lincoln, for example,
be subjected TO the ordeal of these questions
is ne honest? Look upon his face. Is that
an honest man Inquire among his neigh
oors who honor hia guileless integrity by the
familiar name which expresses their confidence
and love,--Honest Abraham Lincoln Read
his speeches. Hear him when he addresses a
popular assembly. The first element of his
power over his hearers is the irresistible con-
victions which they have of his honesty.
is ne capable? Let his whole history, from
his early and unfriended struggles to his
present high position among the acknowiedg-
ed leaders of learned profession in one of
the greatest States of the Union,-give the
answer. Let the people of his own State.
who know him as thoroughly as they know
any other public man, say whether he is capa-
bic. Let those who heard him, a few months
ago, at the Cooper Institute, say whether he
has intelligence enough and talent enough to
be the successor of James Buchanan, Frank
lin Pierce, Millard Fillmore, Zachary TAYLOR,
James K. Polk and John Tyler. We happen-
ed to hear that speech. 1t was not as classical
ly ornate as one Of Edward Everett's orations.
it was not like one of Thomas Jefferson's epfs
ties, put. in our judgment, it was a. better ex-
hibition of that kind of ability which qualif-
es man for such an Office as the Presidency,
than Everett's eulogy on Washington, or jeff
erson's lettarfo the New Haven Chamber of
Commerce. hore thorough and exhaustive
exposition or The subject which he had in
hand, no other man could give. There was
not word in it of vulgar -speaking-not a
word Of the ssspread-eagle'' style of oratory
not word of clap-trap; it was straight for
ward argument on the great question of the
times, and was as able as it was honest
is he faithful 10 the Consfnusiona Those
who believe that the Constitutions is the charter
and guarantee of slavery, and that By its own
force it carries the institution of slavery into
all the territories, will say No. Such an an
swer from that quarter is reason enough for
everybody else to answer sYes. The views of
Webster, of Clay, of Marshall, of all our en-
inent men who lived before the new school OF
Democracy was founded by Calhoun, are his
views on the question now at issue. That is
enough.-N. Y. Independent @

THE TWO DEMocRATIc CANDIDATES.

There are two Democratic candidates before
the country for the Presidency, at least they
both profess to be Democratic candidates.
The one is Stephen A. Douglas, the other John
z. Breckinridge.e Who are they, and what is
their record The first has been the. arch
agitator OF the country for years. He is The
man who led the assault upon the Missouri
Compromise and opened the Territories to the
aggressive march of Slavery. He is the man
who boasted that he would subdue the Free
States men in Kansas, because they would not
submit to border-ruffian rule He is the man
who stood calmly by and witnessed the assault
on Mr.. Sumner, and who would not interfere
to stop the outrage because his motives might
be misapprehended. He is the man who de-
clared that he did not care whether sla<ery is
voted mp or voted down. If he has really re-
pented of his sins, his condition is like that of
the thief on the cross-doomed to be ubbeted
by his fellow men in this world, whatever glo-
ry may await him in the next.
The other candidate, Mr.. Breckinridge, Is
the representative, or is made the standard
bearer rather Of Toombs, Yancey, and the rest
of the Disunionists; of the incendiaries who
mean TO blow up the government; who de-
mand the impossible concession of a Slave
Code in the Territories as condition OF put
ting ont their felonious torches and subsiding
into orderly citizens.
And they both stand upon the Anti-Tarif
Platform. They have both been opposed to
and voted against Protection all their lives.
The decree of fate has gone out against both
of these sets of disturbers of the country; a.
gainst both these econspiratorsag against the rights
of man. Nothing help, or save them.
Like storm mastered pirate ship, in mid o.
cean, with its crew in mutiny, the sham De-
mocracy shall go down to the bottom, and all
the people shall cry, Amen !-Coinrsbia Rep.

alarmed companions procured p rope and pull

SENSIBLE WISHES.

I'd kind o. like to have cot,
Fixed on some sunny slope or spot,
Five acres more or less,
With naples, cedars, cherry trees,
And poplars whitening in the breeze,
'Twould suit my taste guess,
To have the porch with vine o'erhung,
With bells of pendant woodbine swung,
In every bell a bee,
And round my lattice-window spread
A clump of roses, white and red,
To solace mine and me.
i kind O. think should desire
To hear around the lawns choir
o. wood birds singing sweet;
And in dell I'd have a brook,
Where l could sit and read my book.
Such should be my retreat,
Far from the city's crowds and noise;
There would fear the girls and boys,
Il have some two or three.)
And if kind Heaven sh ould bless my store
With five or six or seven more,
How happy should be.

YANcEY AND pARsoN BRowrIow.

Yancey spoke in Knoxville, Tenn, on the
22d Sept. Parson Brownow was present and
reports part of his speech. Brownlow SAYS :
ssYancey stated that the white women at the
North stand over the wash -tnb, and cook-that
white men black boots and perform all other
menial services; while at the South, where
we were more elevated we make negroes per.
form these degrading dutesi This was a
most unfortunate hit for this latitude II
might do in South Alabama, or the wealthy
cotton states. But every tenth man he was
speaking to did not own a. negro while the
wives and daughters of all who heard him,
wash, cook and milk cows, without ever sus-
pecting that they were performing meuial
services! Even our enterprising townsmen,
Luckey and Hanks, who drove their carriages
out to the depot, and again to the speaking,
never supposed they were less elevated than
those who were riding in their carriages. And
verify, if fths'aristocratc southern party desire
no votes from that class who black their own
boots, and drive their own carriages and wag-
ons, their share in East Tennessee will be
small.''
Brownlow asked Yancey if he thought the
election of Lincoln would be sufficient pre-
text for the dissolution of the Union. Instead
of replying to the question, Yancey commenc-
ed catechising Brownlow, who answered by
saying: 1 eli
ssI am one Of a numerous party at the South
who will, if even Lincoln shall be elected un-
der the forms of our Constitution, and by the
authority of law, without committing any
other offence than being elected, force the
vile disunionists and secessionsts OF the South
to pass over our dead bodies in their march to
Washington to break up this government"

The ALABAMA INsURRECTIoN.-We learn
through private source that the evidence Of
the insurrection plot in Alabama, which We
alluded to some days ago, was extorted from
a slave by the application OF eight hundred
lashes to his back. After this gentle manifes-
tation his memory was entirely restored and
he was able to verify every suspicion of his
tormentors. It was evidence obtained by this
process on which the preachers We're hung in
Texas, and on which most of the cruel punish
ments inflicted on Northern travellers in the
South are grounded. 1t is well known fact,
that the States in which these ingenious meth
DDS of acquiring knowledge are in vogue, are
the most ardent in their devotion to the Dem.
ocratic Party and it is marvellous, if we re-
vert to the history of the late King Bombas, to
witness the similarity of means and instru-
ments used in keeping up an intense D6noc-
racy and an-intense Despotism.-N. Y. Times.

THE ISSUES,

The Republican party In its platform adopt
| ed at Chicago, explicitly laid down the issues
| upon which it expects the support of the A
merican people in November. 1t arrays itself
in the first place against the frauds and cor
ruptions which have been practised by the De-
mocratic party for the past eight years. These
frauds and corruptions are admitted by the De-
mocracy and the only way of relief from the
charge for the two wings Of the Democratic
party, is to condemn the administration the
party has elevated to power. But it matters
not how severe the condemnation may be, if
either Douglas or Breckinridge is elevated TO
the Presidential chair, the same class of men,
who have rioted on spoils under Pierce and Bu-
chanan, will ask for continuance of riot and
revelry in office, without having learned the
lesson of economy and honesty, which party
out of power and fresh from the people is like
ly to have learned. The Republican party in
its platform also placed itself on the record as
in favor of Free Homesteads, a sale of the pub
lie lands at low prices to actual settlers for the
purpose of encouraging emigration to the ter
ritores- Democratic Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress pretty generally have op-
posed the Homestead measure. The Republi-
can party again has proclaimed itself in favor
of a protective tariff. Upon this subject the
Democratic party by its past acts and record
stands committed against the Republican par
ty upon the question of protection to Ameri-
can Industry. Upon the question of slavery
the Republican party stands committed to the
doctrine of opposition to slavery extension.
For this purpose Congress should prohibit
slavery, where Congressional Intervention is
called for, and is necessary to accomplish the
end. A Republican Administration will lend
all its influence and patronage in the territories
in favor of free labor, instead of being commit
ted as the Administration of Pierce and Bu-
chanan have been committed, to the interests
of pro-slavery Border Ruffians. The influence
of the administration in this direction will be
felt in all its appointments from the Supreme
Court down. In this light the doctrine of op-
position to slavery extension becomes not an
abstraction, ,tbut practical question which the
American people have an interest in deciding,
and which they will decide this fall in the G.
