@ BUFFALO, N. T., May 23.
Dear Progress Nothing of importance has hap
pened this week in this city. The Conference of
the NJ E. Church have been on the Slavery ques-
ton adj the week and have had pretty hot work.
The abolition preachers found some white neck
cloths among them that were rather inclined to
be in favor of the institution and once and aw he
they show their mortality by some expression
that really delights outsiders. You know the old
nursery rhyme,
Let dogs delight
To bark and bite, &c"
compromise measure of this question was
brought in yesterday by the delegation from
Iowa, which, in all probability will be adopted.
Rev Peter Cartwright. one of the members, is
quite noted as western pioneer. He has travel
ed extensively in the West and lived i'll Illinois
where he run against " Old Abe Lincoln" the
half way propped up candidate of the Repub-
cans.
Mr. c. and friend were in the cars the other
day coming from Rochester to Buffalo when a
rabid. Lincoln /. e. aboIitonst, came III with re-
ports of the Chicago Convention and began by
saying what great man be was; what re-
fined talented man. Mr.. c. ventured to remark
that perhaps the gentleman mistaken alto
gether in giving Abe these qualities.
"What do you know about him. said the
Il know something about him., quietly res
ponded Rev Cartwright.

State with him and Douglas a number of years
am very we'll acquainted with him; against
him twice for the Legislature; beat him both

never found your qualities about him"
The car they were in of course filled with
the laughter of all at this complete taken down of
Linconte.
feeling of intense dissatisfaction pervades
this State, at the nomination of Lincoln and the
abandonment of Seward who will return to his seat
in the Senate till his time expires when he will
retire to private life.
The plain Tact is this: Who is Abe Lincoln (?
Aperson who when he boy could split rails
pretty wel-who when he become to be a man
beaten for everything he aspired to. Who
was beaten for the Legislature of his State by Mr..
Cartwright and suffered most humihating de-
feat at the hands of Stephen A Douglas can be
seen by looking over the file OF the Missouri Re-
publican where most of their campaign speeches
are published. In the State which the election a
little while before had given Republican ma
jorty, he beaten, badly beaten, by a Demo
crat, running in Democratic ticket. 1t plainly
shows the extent of his popularity at home
