CJl Ashmore traced Lincoln's political
s14.icter for The last twenty years, and show
I'd .Jnclusiyeiy that Lincoln recognized and
r7a.uCei the higher law doctrine of the
65 l:lon party. The prime object of the Re-
,Go.lcan party was nothing less than the en-
a,s extinction OF the peculiar institu ion OF
III southern States. The South should put
A.l,elt into position for resistance, and when
,1s tme for resistance comes. she should resist
rrsl unto death.

4 rare curiosity was shown 10 me on yes
,sr1ay. by Mr.. Lanneau, an artist, of Green
Vile. Il was an original portrait of General
Washington, taken in the Generals camp by
sI-rman artist, on the back of his knapsack.
The painting, though of course a rude and
.JmewEat imperfect one, is very much like
Servings celebrated painting of Washington.
