icy In conversation between Caleb Cash
ing and Col. Parker, author Of Reminiscent
ces of Rufus Choate, Gushing said =" ABA
nam Lincoln is a much abler man than is
supposed, even in his own party. In his
canvass with Douglas he beat him in argu

sustain .his asserti0a.'

Last weeks Lewistown Democrat is
decidedly political curiosity! The first ar
ticle is Buchanan's disorganizing speech
next speech by Douglas; then appropriate
ly d" History of the Eclipse" " The Science
of the Kitchen" &c. Inside there is SINH
lar conglomeration Douglas stands at its
head, Breckenridge sticks out here and there,
flVors any trade OF barter which will prevent
Lincoln from being elected, boasts of converts
to Bell and Everett, is down on Hickman for
turning Republican, and swears that the lead
ers with whom it supports Douglas as the
regular democratic nominee" are hypocrites,
use deception, and foment disunion and strife
among the democracy. Truly our neighbor
has got into bad company.
Poaoer Of Ntnority.--In case of the
election of President by the House of Rep
resentatives, the seventeen smallest States
can elect a President Three of these mi
nor States have only single representa-
tive, six have only two, three have three,
three have four, one has 1--WE, and another
Six, so that thirty-seven members Of Con-
gress, being majority of the delegations
from majority of the States, can elect a
President if no election is made by the
electors chosen by the popular vote.
