suggestion of Solicitor Rea, had man before them
by the name Of Franklin Davis, from Ferelltown,
10 miles north of Charlotte for uttering incehdiary
language. We learn that nest of abolitionsts re-
side in that part of the County, and that man by
the name of Edwards is the head man. Since the
arrest Of Davis VIC learn that they have been hold

Congress-.


The Senate was engaged for the most part on
Monday last, in discussing the Presidents veto mes
sage Of the appropriation for the St Clair Flats,
Michigan. Mr. Chandler of that State, assailed the
President in severe terms. Mr.. Davis, of Mssissip-
pi, replied defending the Presidents course, The
debate was continued by Messrs. Bingham, Hamlin,
Clay, Crittenden, Toombs, and WigGll. .
The Postoffce appropriation bill, Immediately on
its reception from the House, was read twice and re-
ferred.
In the House, on the same day, the Postoffice
appropriation bill was introduced by twothirds
vote, and was passed. The bill appropriates g..
100000 for contractors and others; and allows the
contfacorasx per cont interest their claims for
service from the time they were due
The House elected black Republicans as Postmas-
ter and Doorkeeper of the body.
Nearly the whole time of the Senate on Tuesday
was occupied in discussing the frankng privilege as
an amendment to the House Postoffice appropria-
ton bill No action was TAKEN The bill was made
the special order for tomorrow In the meantime,
and incident to expected delay in the passage of the
bills, memorial was being numerousy siggned by
the contractors, pressing the immediate passage of
the bill as it came from the House. If this is i'm
possible, they ask that the interest clause and all
other Objectionable features be stricken out and left
for future legislation, their pressing necessities
require immediate action
The House was not in session on Tuesday, having
adjourned to give the Speaker an opportunity to ar
range the Committees. They were expected to be
announced on Thursday. Sherman, it was thought,
would be chairman of the Ways and Means, and
Corwin of foreign relations. OF course the Com
mttees will be arranged with view of "exposins
the corruptions of this proslayery administration"
The President is to be abused at the North as an in.
strument in the hands Of the democratic slave
drivers, while he is abused at the South for exrav-
agant expenditures forced upon the government by
black Republican votes in the House of Representa-.
tives. So We go. Partizans in both sections assal
and malign the honest old man, while the people
who are disintcrcsted save in having good govern
ment judge justly of his conduct and sustain him.

John G.. SAKE, Esq.

Vermont, is expected to lecture for the Young Mems

BLACK REPUBLICAN REJolcINGs.-Mr. Speaker
Pennington was serenaded by his friends in ash
ing,on on the evening of his election, and speeches
were made by himself Sherman, Hickman, and 9TH
ers. Hickman who covered in the House few
days previously, under the lash applied to him by
McClernand and Pryor, spoke on this occasion in
the bitterest and most insulting strain. He threat
ened the South again with eighteen millions of
Northern men, and declared that the Union should
be maintained by force and In blood. Barking dogs
hardly ever bite. John Hickman is an infamous
coward and traitor
John W. Forney, the black Republican Clerk, was
also serenaded, and made speech marked by inso-
lence, egotsm, and mendacty He entertained his
maudlin and rowdy hearers with the vilest abuse of
our venerable President, Mr. Buchanan. The crowd
cheered him. This is one of the most striking evil
dences of the. decline of the Republic. a Clerk Of
the House had abused Washington, or Adams, or
Jefferson as Forney abused Buchanan he would at
once have been expelled from his place.

Abranl Lincoln.

Abram Lincoln, the Republican can,
didate for the Presidency, is native
of Hardin County, Kentucky. He was
born on the 18th day of February,
1903. His parents were from Virgin
ia. His paternal grandfather Abram
Lincoln, emigratcd from Rockingham
county, Va, to Kentucky in 1882,
where a year or two later he was xii
led by the Indians. His ancestors
were worthy members of the Society
Of Friends, and went to Virginia from
Bcrks county, Pa. Many Of the same
stock still reside in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania.
Abram Lincoln, our Presid entail
candidate, was an ardent friend of
Henry Clay, and exerted himself pow
erfully in his behalf throughout Hi
nois in 1874. In 1916 Mr.. Lincoln
was elected to Congress and served
out his time, but declined re-nomi-
nation, preferring to pursue his pro-
fession Of the law. He earnestly OPP
posed the annexation of Texas, was a
firm supporter of the Wilmot Proviso,
and labored efficiently for the election
of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency. 1t
is hardly necessary to refer to his
Senatorial campaign in Illinois in
1858, it being fresh in the minds of
all. 1t is sufficient to say that on the
popular vote he beat Mr. Douglas, his
competitor, by more than 1000 votes /;
but owing to the fragrant apportion-
ment of the State into Legislative dis
tricts, by which minority of the peo-
pile could elect majority of the Legis-
iature, Mr.. Douglas succeeded in be-
ing returned to the Senate. In pri-
vate life he is literally unimpeachable
Among all who know him his most ac-
ceptable, and at the same time appro-
pirate soubriqast, is that by which he
is most widely known, viz Honest
old Abe"
