LINCOLN Musr BE SrRoNG!-A Washington
correspondent says 10. Lane of Oregon, is Of the
opinion that no one but himself can carry his
State against Lincoln Douglas says he Is the
only man who can carry Illinois against Lincoln;
and there are half dozen other Democratic can
didates each one of whom thinks no one but him
| self can carry his own particular State against
the Republican Nominee This Is unfortunate,
because only two of them can by any possibility
be nominated, one at Baltimore and perhaps an
other at Richmond, and therefore some Of the

workers can find in i's aspects no excuse for an
abandoning itself, unless they can show that the
Churches have rewritten the Bible !; unless they
can allege that it no longer exhibits the Divine
Founder Of Christianity preaching to the poor,
companying with publicans and sinners; unless
they can show thatit was the sanction and usage Of
apostolic times to honor the rich in the Christian
assemblage; unless. in one word, they can deny
that the gospel holds forth to every man the
prospect Of being king and priest to God
