ABRAM LINCOLN, the nominee for Presi-
dent, is probably second to no man in the
west in point of talent, a position he at
tanned by his own xertions-having risen
from the humble position of a hired man
on farm and a splitter of rails until he
"mauled" Stephen A. Douglas through
one OF the most exciting campaigns ever
known in Illinois. The nominee for Vice
President, Mr.. HAMLIN, of Maine, is now
United States Senator from that State.
and like Mr.. Lincoln, respected by all par
ties as man of undoubted integrity and
honesty.
There are some portions of the platform
which do not exactly meet our views, espe-
clally that relating to the naturalization
laws. We are so far " American" in sem
timent, that while not proscriptive, we have
always believed oar laws ough. to be so
amended as to be no bar towards honest
foreigners becoming citizens, yet stringent
enough to prevent the frauds and rascality
without question too much practiced in our
cities.
