il devolyes upon each civil township in the

VOTE FOR CURTIS AND THE HOME
| STEAD.
| Unless blinded by partisan zeal, all must
agree with the O,tumwa Courier that "ihe
only way to get homestead law is to vote
for Curtis and the Republican ticket. The
Democrats, both factions, have left il out
Of their platforms; they vote ngsinst it al
most to man, and the President yetoes it
if it passes Congress. The reason is plain.
The South are deadly hostile to the Home
stead, and what can the Democracy do with
out the South. Vote then for Curtis, and
you vote directly for Homestead law
Cole is trying to deceive the people by pre-
tending to be for the Homestead, because
his party have a resolution for it in their
State PLATFORM. Congress, and not the State
OF Iowa, must pass on that question:"
MR.. LINCOLNs NEW YORK SPEECH.
The Young Mems Republican Union is
about to issue the address of Mr.. Lincoln at
Cooper Institute in pamphlet form, with
notes and references by Messrs. C. C Mott
and Cephas Brainard. The editors, in their
preface say
No one who has not actually attempted to
verify its details can understand the patient
research and historical labor which it EN-
bodies. The history of our earlier politics
is scattered through numerous journals,
statutes, pamphlets and letters; and these
are defective in completeness and accuracy
Of statement, and in indices and tables Of
contents. Neither can any one who has not
travelled over this precise ground appreci-
ate the accuracy of every trivial detail, or
of the self denying impartiality with which
Mr.. Lincoln has turned from the testimony
Of "the fathers" on the general question Of
slavery to present the single question which
he discusses. From the first to the last
from his premise to his conclusion, he
travels with swifs, unerring directness
which no logcian ever excelleI-an argu-
ment complete and full, without the affec.a.
ton of learning, and the stiffness which
usually accompanies dates and details. A
single, easy, simple sentence of plain
Anglo Saxon words contains q chapter Of
history that in some instances bas' tok on
days of labor to verify. and which must
have cost the author months Of investigation
to acquire. And, though the public should
Justly estimate tho labor bestowed on the
facts which are stated, they cannot estimate
the gre to- labor involved on those which
are omisted-how many pages have been
read-how many works examined what
numerous statutes, resolutions, speeches,
letters and biographies have been loos ed
through. Commencing with this address as
a political pamphlet, the reader will leave
it an historical work-brief, complete, pro.
found. impartial. tru,hful-which will sur
vive the time and the occasion tina. called it
forth, and be esteemed hereafter no less for
its intrinsic worth than its unpre,endiDg
modesty.
