The. success of the Republican party
which has been inaugurated by the nom
inaticn of Mr.. Iineol1, will bring with j
grave duties and grave responsibilities
"A strict observance. of the Constitution

most rigid economy in every department o.
The Government; repress with vigorous

Mr.. Lincoln has been but little IN public
life. and he will come into the Presidential
chair fresh from the people, with i"nO
friends to reward, and no enemies to pun
ish.p He has no complications with poll
-ticians. cliques, or factions. and no out
standing promises requiring redemption
One of the people, taken up by the people,
he will be the President of the people. In
him there are united the elements which
challenged the confidence of the Conven-
ton which nominated him, and of the
people who will elect him. He is emphat-
sieally representative man, and by the
simplicity of his manners and the purity
of private life he is the type Of the yir-
tues which belong to great Republic
There is an inhexible patriotism IN his
heart. and he has the incorruptibility Of
Republican principles in his soul. He has
sdoctrines, not hatreds, and is without am
bition. except to do good and serve bis
country. Et8t|a q
In ti1ese days. when corruption, prod
igaiity. and venality, have reached the
Very yitsls of the Government, the, people
have at last found an honest oaaa to ad-
minister the affairs of the nation in the
spirit in which our institutions were found-
ed; man whose name has ever been the
Synonym of probity and honor-whose
reputation, in all the relations of private
liie.i without blemish, and his public ca.
rees IS without reproach. No man evel
has, andno man ever can place his finger
upon a single dishonorable or improper
act ofhis life He stands to-day, as pri
svate citizen and public man, unassailej
and unassaiiable; sutzsF Fiss sa7
"a An HONEST NAN The noblest work ofGod.''
ONO man can it more truly be said:
His life IS gentle; and the elements
somixed in him, that Nature might stand up
And say to an the world fais Is a man.
