appear among thehns. fHfe had, III said, on
one occasion, been invited to 60 into Ken
lucky and revisit some ofthe scenes with
whose history his father in lifetime had
been identified. On asking by letter wheth-
CIR Judge Lynch would be present, he re-
ceived no response and he therefore came
to the conclusion that the invitation was a
trap laid by some designing to invoigle hiuf
into a Slave State for the purpose Of doing
violence to his person.
Here is a man running for President OF
the Uuitcd States, who says he is so obnox-
ipqs 1n9fpeyspnally, BAT owing to 'thes po-
'ltticaf principles he advutates-t6 The peo.
eesthe slave. hel1iag States, that he can
not visit the home Of his father, without dan
ger Of being subjected TO personal violence.
:fhis is Mr.. Lfncoln's own Confession. We
do not Justify pr defend this Southern SEN
timent, but desire 10 point, to tho fact that
it exists..nsD Does snyyso6hel believe that It

Lincoln'ss election?; Far lfrom,it. b. wof
gather strength from his administrative acts,
his anti-slavery messages, 4 and Ills abolition
appointments. We would undoubtedly be-

stance Of a President Of ,the United States;
deferred from setting foot in one-half IF the
Union, FOX fear of:lncnyringgo personal out
RACES and violence, at the hands Of. the peo-
pie. How far Removed is Such state ,ol

the results which will q, CERTAINLY, atrsnspire

success Of Judge Douglas; and ISrr oby;ons
reasons::i sYetithe Democratic candidate has
boldly faced the fre.eaters and.secessionists,
and IN the chief cities; of the. South, battled
for the Union and tho success of :, sound
constitutional priciples. No fear Of "lynch
lao" deferred the inttpeid Douglas, from car
rying the war into the hot-beds of secession
and treason. Eat Boston, he denounced
Northern sectionalism; and at; Norfolk, with
fully as much force and power, he CONDEMNED
Southern secti0nalis,n. Douglas combats
the enemies of;the Union wherever they arc
to be- found. He does not, like Abolition
orators, grow bold in denunciationof, South:
ern radicals, at Boston, while speaking to q
Northern audience; but he goes right where
the evils exist, and face to face, with the
Secession leaders, brands them as disunicn'
lists and traitors, before their 'ow n people.
Who is the best man for PRESIDENT
Lincoln who boo-hoos and snivels, al
Springfield, that no cannot visit slave
State for fear ola coat tar and feathers, 0:
something WORSE or the gallant Douglas
who proclaims to the eSoulhern, g.ltraists
from their own door steps, that if they at
tempt disunion he will treat them as old
Hickory did the South Carolina liullifiers!
In whose hands can the dcstin,es Of the
Union be most safely condded, Lincoln Of
