Abraham Lincoln.
From the New York Independent.


In Thomas Jefferson's celebrated letter
to the New Haven merchants who had re-
monstrated against the removal of Elizur
Goodrich from the colectorship of that
port, and the appointment of a successor
whose chief qualification was that he was a
partizan of the President, hope is express
ed that good time may come when the
only questions about candidate for office
will be these: ais he honest? Is he capa-
BILE? Is he faithful to the constitutions
When Jefferson said good thing he
said it well, and this is one of his good
things. These three questions are just tho
questions which the people of the United
States ought to ask in regard to candidates
for the Presidency. Let Abraham Lin
coin, for example, be subjected to the orde-
al of these questions.
Is he honeStG Look upon his face. Is
that an honest mani Inquire among his
neighbors who honor his guiltless integrity
by the familiar name which expresses their
confidence and love-Honest Old Abe j
Read his speeches. Hear him when he
addresses a popular assembly. The first
element Of his power over his hearers is the
irresistible conviction which they have of
his honesty.
Is he capa5le? Let his whole history,
from his early and unfriended struggles to
his present high position among the ac-
knowledged leaders of learned profession
in one of the greatest States of the Union
give the answer, Let the people of his
own State, who know him as thoroughly as
they know any other public man, say wheth-
er he is capable. Let those who heard
him few weeks ago, at the Cooper Insti-
tute, say whether he is intelligent enough
to be the successor of James Buchanan,
Millard Fillmore, Zachary Taylor, James
X. Polk and John Tyler We happened
to hear that speech. 1t was not classically
ornate as one Of Edward Everett's ora
tions, it was not like one of Thomas Jeffer-
sons epistles, but, in our judgment, it was
a better exhibition of that kind of ability
which makes q statesman, than Everett's
eulogy on Washington, or Jeherson's letter
to the New Haven Chamber of Commerce
A more thorough and exhaustive exposition
of the subject which he had in hand, no
other man could give. There was not
word in it of vulgar stump-speaking-not
word of the 'spread-eagle" style Of oratory
mot word of claptrap; it was straight
forward argument on the great question of
the times, and was as able as it was honest.
Is he taiMfI to the Coastitutions-
Those who believe that the Constitution is
the charter and guarantee of slavery, and
that by its own force it carries the institu-
tion of slavery into all the territories, will
say No. Such an answer from that quar-
ter is reason enough for everybody else to
answer Yes. The views of Webster, Of
Clay, of Marshall, Of all our eminent men
who lived before the new school of Demoe-
racy was founded by Calhoun, are his views
on the question now at issue. That is
enough.

NC RRPUJRIICANS.

YOUNG REPUBLICANS;
The time has come for action, energetic
and consistent, for the principles which we
profess.
Witha platform to which nothing can be
added or taken from, and candidates who
are the personal exponents of these cardi-
nal principles, we may throw our banner to
the breeze, with the motto-"True to the
Right and Homes for the Free'--and con-
fdently expect success as the guerdon of
our toll. We, the younger portion of this
great party, have an interest in this matter
second to none. We are already on the
stage, and none can be so blind as not to see
that we play part, whether it be we'll or
i'll.
Then examine we'll the issues of thisgreat
contest and be prepared to maintain your
principles by sound logic and good sense,
and not by the weak sticking for exploded
theories and party names, SO common at
this time.
If Republican principles are right, give
them hearty endorsement; if wrong, be
prepared to point out their errors; and with
a fair field the truth will swim"
ain union there is strength" is time
honOred motto; but in no place is it more
true than in politics: hence to be strong, is
is to be united, and work with a common
effort. Shall we not, then, adopt some
systematic plan of Organizationa Call
meeting for the purpose of forming a
"Wide-Awake Club" or whatever may be
deemed most expedient. We have deci-
sive advantage over our opponents in point
Of time; and shall We throw itawayl

great obsnacy 1t has long been, moreover, the prn-

public and its capture is believed TO open the way di'
rect to the capital The New Orleans PieGyuns says:
Our files abound in most touching letters from the be-
sieged city, from which would appear might indeed
have been expected that the suffering Of the people was
very great We learn, indeed from letter Of Gen. Or
tega himself that the lst instant the suffering had be
come Sc great that the fire upon the city suspended
for the space Of three hours that women and children
might leave the town. How many actually left we are
not informed but It would appear that the number was
small In all probability the poor people knew not what
do and there for the space Of at least twenty days
they remained huddled together In the centre Of the
town rthest removed from the shots of the besegers
suffering each hour discomors and anxiees which must
have been worse than death ITSELF

chief rivers the Rhine and the Neckar The personal
qualifications Of this young couple belong to the realm
Of gossip which we do not desire to aid in extending
beyond the enormous limits that il has recen y attained.
But we may add that il in years--23 and lS-the
