WHAT THEY THINK OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
IN ENeLAED.-The n Y. Tribune says
The London Critic reviews the speeches
of Araham Lincoln, In the course of its
article occurs the following passage q 1t
is from the speeches which Mr.. Lincoln has
from time to time delivered in opposition to
Mr.. Douglas, that We gather somo idea Of
bis mental qualifications We collect from
the speeches of Mr.. Lincoln that he has a
mind rather Of the straightforward than Of
the subtle order that he rather seizes up
on great and prominent facts and argues
them to plain conclusions than builds up ele-
giant but fragile theories upon the treacher-
Gus basis of fanciful speculation; that he is
earnest more than passionate, and COM
manding more than persuasive. Indeed,
every one of his speeches which we have
read bears upon the face Of il evidence that
he is Honest Old Abe.'" lafe

This Presidential campaign, thus far, is
remarkable when compared with those
which have proceeded il. Il is quiet,
peaceable, almost dull. The Republicans
can't fight for there is nobody TO contend
with; and il is too severe strain on both
nerve and muscle to kick Nt nothing. AS
for the Democrats their attention is wholly
taken up with each other. If there are any
bloody noses, black eyes, or damaged rep
utations in this campaign, they are injuries
given and received by Democrats. II is
wholly unnecessary for Republicans to mix
in, They have only to wait and see their
adversaries devour each other like tho Kill
keny cats, leaving not even tail behind
The torrent of infamous lies and ISLANDERS
which it has been usual for Democrats to
pour on the Republicans has thus far been
withheld, and they are engaged in telling
some wholesome truths of each other
Their hatred of the Republicans, is fratern-
al affection compared with their feelings
for each Of the Democratic factions. Either
the Douglas or Breckenridge party would q
thousand times rather sec Republicans tri
umphant than be beaten by the other fac
ton. Early in the campaign the Douglas
ties tried their hand at the old game O
SANDER by representing that Lincoln voted
against supplies for the Mexican war, and
that he franked home one or three pairs oi
boots, DC. But these small potatoe lies
were SO suddenly stamped on and put out
that their courage oozed out at once, As
for the Republicans they mustno think the
battle already won. Singly they can crust
out each of the rotten, fighting factions o
the Democrats as man sets his heel on 8
Iserpent's head. But in their helplessness
and despair, they are continually trying tC
join with the Know Nothings and Unior
men, or whoever can furnish few votes.-
The combinations they are trying to form
in New York and New Jersey show theil
| poverty and misery. But we think Repub
licans are not asleep. If they are less noisy,
they are not less determined. If there are
less monster meetings there is more talk
with better results among neighbors and
friends. When the day of election comes,
the mighty Republican army will march to
a victory, which will bury the rotten Demo.
cracy thousand fathoms deep beneath the
curses ofan awakened people.

BELLEyuE, Aug. 10Th. 1860.

EDITOR JouRNAL:-Among my letters
by this days mail is one from Judge John
w. Howe, ex-member of Congress from
Meadsville, Pennsylvania. Although not
intended for publication, send you the fol-
lowing extract which may be of interest to
your readers:
awe shall undoubtedly carry this State,
both in State and Presidential elections by
large majorites. This county, (Crawford)
though once so strong Democratic county,
will now 90 Republican by from 1900 toI
$500 majority. This is large but sure
The Germans are joining us in large num-
bers all over the State We have but little
excitement with either wing Of the mis-call-
ed Democratic party, for their time is who'll
ly occupied in quareling among themselves.
There arc but few Bell and Everett men
here, if any. We are organizing Clubs at
every School House all through thecounty."
This is but the common report from all
my correspondents in Western Pennsylva-
MIA. Another says in his letter "that every
protestant German and Irishman in his ac-
quaintance are devoted to the Republicans,
as the only true Democratic party. Tho
action of the Republicans in favor of the
Homestead bill, and their endeavors to Sc
cure the public lands to actual settlers by
Withholding them from public sale for ten
years before the President shall have power
to sell them to Shareholders or spectators
their endeavors to secure the passage of an
equitable tariff that will not run the Gov
ernment in debt every year, aud the great
rascaites and frauds brought to light by
the Covode Committee, have done the bu-
siness."
Three or four days prior to last Wednes-
day, some Of our townsmen spoke Of organi-
zing "Wide-Awake" Club here and O
circular was passed around for signatures
to meet on last Wednesday at Sumner Hall,
for the purpose of organizing. Over 100

Twentyeght young men in Lafayette Indiana, who will
cast their t vote for President of the United States at
the approaching election, have signed call for the for
nation ofa Little Giants Cub-Upper SaHdsky Union.
1t appears from tho above that in town
containing 1000 or 5000 inhabitants, the
Democracy have scared up the tremendous
large number of t.oenty-eight young men
who have become of age since the last
Presidential election that are willing to
avow themselves Douglas men. There are
probably 300 young men in that city that
have become of age within the last four

The Messenger editor talks loudly Of men
(who were democrats before he was born
being "bought up" by the Breckenridge
party. But when any one refers to the
$4,000 bribe which he took, he abuses
them with all the vocabulary of slang and
bad grammar that can be brought to bear
on the occasion. He needs turning over on
the gridiron of public opinion and little
more pitch applied to the fire.

The Republican meeting at the Wigwam
on last Friday evening was very well atten
ded, though not so large as it ought have
been. ]. Mac Lemon addressed the NEE
ting in a speech of about an hour and {
quarter. Without disparagement to other'
who have spoken at the Wigwsm, we thinl
that Mr.. LIS speech, in point of argument
and the manner of its arrangement, was su
perior to any that has yet been made. Thi
was his first effort, and with a little mor'
experience and with less embarrassment, ht
must succeed in making good speaker
All who heard him were highly pleased
with his effort.

Douglas Compared with Himself.

In 1858, in speech at Galesburg, Him
ois, Stephen Arnold Douglas thus declared
for Popular Sovereignty:
"TAe great fundamental principle Of our Government
pseIy free 10 decide for themselves what shall be the
nature and character of their institutions"
In the same year, few months later, the
champion of this doctrine had occasion to
visit New Orleans, and behold what a
change came over him in this comparatively
brief period In speech delivered in that
city he allowed himselfto to say:
"Slavss regarded property, and placed an
OF slaves the the holder OF any other species
property, has right to remove to any Territory aHdcar
| ny his properly loith him"
In speech in the Senate last February,
Mr. D., forgetful of his Galesburg oration,
said:
al do not hold that squatter sovereignty superior
the Constitution. hold that such thing s0cer-
egR POoer attaches 10 Territory Territory. hold
the Constitution aHder the organic act, and more"
"a few weeks later, in order TO show the
South how Popular Sovereignty had opera
ted to the advantage of Slavery, he said il
his speech in the Senate:
eUnder this doctrine of nonntervention the people
New Mexico have converted tract OF TERRITORY
TERRToRY than FIRE times the size Of tn

relations as the same has BEEN or shall hereafter final
ly DETERMINED BY THE SUPREME COURT of the
United States should be respected by all good citizens
and ENFORCED lSth proIptness and fidelity by EVERY
BRANCH Of the General Government.
Mr.. Douglas, in his letter of acceptance,
says he has read the platform, and that he
cordially adopts it and stands upon it. Can
any candid man who believes "freedom
should be the rule, and slavery the excep-
tion," vote for a man for President standing
upon such a platforms
Ifanybody ought to understand the po-
sition of Mr.. Douglas on the slavery ques-
ton, it is Mr.. H. V. Johnson, the distin-
guished candidate for Vice President on
the same ticket. In long speech at Sa-
vannah on the 30th ult., he stated the mat
ter as follows:
"Judge Douglas had been misrepresented and misun-
dersood at the South He asserted positively that Judge
D. not in favor ofSquatter Sovereignty andor proof
read from his speech in February 1852 where he took
the ground that the territories derived all their
from the under tnelr organic reau
from the speech that Slavery in the Territories
stands precisely the footing with all other proper
y and the people have the right to legslate upon
that they have to egsate upon other property, no
and no less"
Is this the view of the Douglas men Of
the Free States9 Are they too against
Squatter Sovereignty Z! and do they regard
Slave property as possessing the same
character as other propertyG 1t seems tc
US that Mr.. Douglas doctrines have both a
northern and southern aspect, and that the
two are not merely inconsistent but totally
contradictory.

RBAD AND COrJ5IDBR-
The idea that Douglas doctrine to let
the people Of territory shape their own
laws on the slavery question as they please,
is one Of the clearest cheats and swindles
that has ever been presented to the people
of this country. What Douglas once de-
clared as his views on this question, he now
openly and squarely repudiates, and yet his
friends still strive to cheat voters into his
support How any consistent man can lon
ger adhere to Mr. Douglas is past our com.
prehension, The following extract is from
one of Douglas speeches in Illinois in reply
to Mr. Lincoln, and was the position which
he stood upon then, 1t was his Popular
Sovereignty hobby.
