AE- Our neighbor of the Civilian

A "a
~ Our neighbor of the Civilian
says that DOUGLAS Thoroughly defeated
LINCOLN in the Senatorial contest in Hi
nois last year, and can beat him to-day
or any time in an equal chance before
the people of that State. The thorough
ness of that defeat is shown in the fact
that LINCOLN had some 5000 majority
on the popular vote, and was deprived
of the seat, now occupied by the dema-
gogue of Illinois, only through the op-
Grafton of villainous apportionment,
which allowed a minority Of the voters
of the State to elect majority of the leg
islature. Talk about an equal chance !!
Had that been given, DOUGLAS would
have been as far behind "OLD ABE" in
the result of the election as he was in
strength of argument and oratorical abil-
ity on the stump. The fact that Mr..
L1NCoLN's friends have issued the joint
debates made in that canvass, in book
form, shows distinctly the popular ver-
dict relative to the discussion. The as
sertion of our neighbor that the Repub-
licans have shrunk back from the doc
trine of an irrepressible conflict" or
any other doctrine that it has ever main
tanned, is too silly to require refutation.
Every one knows that Mr.. LINCOLN as
fully represents the anti-slavery senti-
ment of the party as any man in it, and
has as distinctly announced the ire
pressble conflict" doctrine as Mr.. SEW
ARD himself Every principle for which
the Republican party has commended, is
as distinctly avowed in its platform as
can be desired. This is still the objec-
ton made against us by many democrat
ic presses through out the country. But
let our neighbor fire away. DOUGLAS or
no DOUGLAS, "Honest ABE" goes into
the Presidential chair next March-mark

signed his seat, and went home to his
constituents. They endorsed him by
giving him 10000 majority for Govern
or, and afterwards returned him to the
Senate, where he has always occupied a
good position. He is a statesman, and
possesses an enviable reputation for in
tegrity. His nomination is also cordially
received, and with such ticket there is
no such word as fail. Everything tends
to insure us glorious victory.

How Old Abe Received the News.

When the news Of the nomination was
received in Springfield. Mr.. Lincoln was
in the State Journal office. A boy came
headlong into the room where he was
sitting, with a sealed dispatch, which he
placed in his hand. Mr. Lincoln opened
IT and sudden pallor came over his fea-
lures. He gazed upon il intently nearly
three minutes Then his customary
smile returned and he rose. saying =
" Well boys. there is little woman
down at our house who is interested in
this business !" and he walked away
without any further appearance Of agita-
ton, to inform Mrs. Lincoln Of the joy

Mr.. Wendell has again appeared be-
fore the committee and testified that while
the President and Cabinet did not spe-

benefited by the expenditure, otherwise
he would not have appropriated $50, 900

Ey- The action Of the Southern sece-
ders from the Charleston Convention has
apparently met the full appreciation OF
their constituents, as appears from re-
ports of meetings held in the South, and
it must now be fully apparent to the most
sanguine Of Mr.. DOUGLAS friends that
he cannot be nominated at Baltimore ex-
cept by a divided convention. There Is
no reason to suppose that either New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New
England would support HIM TO this ex-
tremity, and for our part we think there
is not ghost of chance of his being
nominated at the coming convention
We would prefer that the coming con
test should be between he and "Old
ABE" for we would like to see the for.
mer gallant contest between them re-
newed on the broad field Of the Union.
We have no fear but that the popular
verdict would be again, as before, in ia
vor Of the " Honest Man" and against
The Demagogne.

that Notwithstanding all the cry of non

with the Southern States has been larger
the past three months than ever before.
Every one but lot of old grannies here
at the North knew very well that all this
cry of non intercourse was miserable
bugbear, and intended to brighten men
into voting the Democratic ticket, and
giving the corruptionists and slavery ex-
tentlonists another lease Of the govern
ment. The game is about played out.
