that it has had its last national victory. If they
fail to make nomination at Baltimore, which we
now think possible, there will be nothing left for

Did Lincoln Tend Barp

The Menard County .aris, Democratic pa
per published at the place where Lincoln was
said to have "tended bar" says:
Mr.. Lincoln came to this county with Mr.
Ofut and was engaged with him clerk in
a store, and afterwards became the purchaser
of the establishment, in company with man
named William Berry, who is now dead. w.
e. Green, Esq, al present citizen of this
county, was their endorser for the purchase of
the goods. Berry was man of dissolute hab-
its, and caused an early failure of the village
concern.
The story of Mr.. Lincoln's "clerking in q
common dram shop" is not altogether correct
as we are informed by old inhabitants. now
residing in this place, and acquainted with the
facts. As was customary in those days, how.
ever. the "merchants," besides the usual sup.
ply of notions, calico, groceries, tobacco, &c.
"always on hand" barrel or two of Mononga.
hela or Old Rye, .to be sold in quantities to
suit the parchaser."
That will do! The Republican candidate fol
President, was tender sin a small country
store and retailed "netions, calico, groceries
tobacco, and -Monongahela and Old Rye We
presume d-Eye is meant for old rye Well

Gerry keepers in this county as was Abe Lin
coin, and nobody ever yet nominated them fol

Wanted an Outrage.

We some two weeks ago said that the
republican party wanted "an outrage"-
an outrage anywhere, in Kansas, down
South, in the Halls,of Congress, or in the
lobbies of the two Houses. As Dazzle,
in the play, regarded kicking as le.
gal luxury" so the republican leaders have
come to consider an outrage as SO much
political capital!
1t is not q fight they want. They are
not like the Irishman, ''blue paoulded for
the want Of batin," and ready to beg
any one to tread on the tail of his coat,
so as to afford provocation. They go
in for damages. Their motto is, 'suffer
and be strong"
Nobody seems disposed to humor them;
but there is law of political economy
which declares that supply is always equal
to demand; and if high enough price is
offered for anything. from 'an outrage to
drove of elephants, 1t is sure to come!
And behold, we have an attempted assas-
sination of Sumnerl 1t is, to be sure,
not quite an assassination. 1t is some.
thing halfway between morning call and
murder The miscreants were armed,
not with bludgeons or pistols. or revolv-
crs, but with an Interrogation point !?

D,dn,1 Split Rails Of All.

An old citizen of Illinois, man famil-
la: with all parts of the State, and par.
ticularly with that portion of it where
Abe Lincoln is said to have mauled rails,
says that the whole thing is gammon;
that he never split rail in his life; that
in those days the people never thought of
such a thing; that they went into the
swamps and cut hoop.poles and sapliDgs
for fencings, and used them round as ma
ture made them. The old chap that made
the Republicans believe that the rails on
his farm were split by Lincoln more than
twenty years ago. made good thing out
of the operation Ten dollars pair for
Old decayed rails is not to be winked at.
The owner of that farm Is sharp.

SO outrageous ever heard of before7
Some persons have calumniously insin-

Mr.. Summers own manufacturing. This
is gross mistake. It is no more his own

his flowers of rhetoric to the school books
from which he borrowed them, will have
no difficulty in following out this plagia-
rism of conspiracy. 1t is in part stolen
from poor old sham-Boarbon Williams,

Two Views of the Case.

Judge c., U. S. Senator from
Vermont, related to us good anecdote
the other day, illustrative of abolitionism.
The morning he was leaving home to en-
ter upon his duties in this city. straight
faced deacon, who looked upon the whole
south as a great pandemouium, called
upon him and said:
"Now, Judge, want you to do all in
your power to abolish slavery"
"Well," said the Judge, chow shall l
proceed?"
"Oh, don't know; but you must abol-
ish it. It's great curse, and must be
abolished. You know more about law
than do. The church is my stronghold,
out you understand national matters and
can devise some plan, and know it,"
"The only way see to abolish it.. said
the Judge. sis to buy all the slaves and
set them free" af POO
"Well, 60 in for that; have the Law
passed that the north shall buy them, and
then this trouble will end"
"Just as you say, deacon. 1 will agree
to it in moment, and will stand my share
of the expense. Here is Woodstock
with three hundred inhabitants, and this
town would be called on for about six
hundred thousand dollars-I will urge il
before the Senate
The deacon opened his mouth, then hi:
eyes, allowed his tongue to escape from
one corner of his face, scratched his head
and tapped impatiently on the floor witt
his foot. AS the Judge was leaving tbt
room, the deacon's power of speech re-
turned to him, and called out:
"Oh, say, Judge, I guess you'd better
let slavery alone. The poor blacks are
better off in the south than up here il
this cold climate"
There are several just such deacons il
