We see by the western papers that the
Black Republicans are arranging their po-
litical programme with an eye to carrying
out the ''lrrepressible conflict" TO the very
letter, this they must do to satisfy the
Abolitonists, spiritual Rnppers and the
negroes. In the fifth congressional dis
trict Of Indiana, they have set aside Mr..
Kilgore and nominated that notorious
abolitonist Geo. w. Julian, in the eighth,
tenth, and eleventh districts they have
set aside rather conservative men, and
nominated two Blacks. In Michigan and
Vermont the same thing is being done.
In Illinois however there is quite runs
pus in the camp, the State convention
nominated Mr.. Hoffman for Lieut.. Gov,
and he refuses to run, seeing that the
subject was getting too dark, and the state
central committee named Mr.. Jarrot for
the position. TO this large portion of
the rank and file object, his views not
being dark enough and he has been
forced to leave the field, stating that he
could not consider himself candidate
"whle so large and respectable portion
of the state objected 10 him., and the
state Central Committee, have called an.
other state Convention to assemble at
Springfield on the 5th Of August next.
We know another citizen of Illinois
who ought to Of taken like view Of mat
ters with Mr.. Jarrot when he knew as
well as Mr.. Jarrot did, that "large and
respectable portion of this country" did
not desire him to become the nominee OF
his party for President at this time.

Of the career Of Mr.. Lincoln from one o.!

twenty-five years. We had many points
of sympathy when first got acquainted
with him. We were both comparatively
