so far as a nero private man may, the
fearful progress of official corruption,
which for several years past has sadly
marrod and defled the fair fabric Of our
Government.
If Mr.. Lincoln should be elected
coming in as a new man at the head Of
young party never before in power,
he may render a great service to his
country, which no Democrat could rem
der. lie can march straight forward in
tho discharge Of his high duties, guided
only by his own good judgment and
honest purposes, without any necessity
to temporize with established abuses, to
wink at the delinquencies of old party
friends, or to unlearn and discard the
bad official habits that have grown up
under the misgovernment of his Demo
cratic predecessors, In short, ho can
be an honest and bold rcformcr on en-
sicr and cheaper terms that any Demo
cratic President can be, for in proceed
ing in the good work Of cleansing and
purifying the administrative depart
ments, he will have no occasion to ez-
pose the vices, assail the interests, or
thwort the ambition Of his political
friends.
Begging your pardon for the length Of
this letter, 1 remain, with great respect,
Your friend and obedient servant,
EDWARD BATES.

On Wednesday Of last week, there
was a ratification meeting at Spring.
field, Massachusetts,, at which Mr.. Ash.
mum, the President Of The Chicago Con.
vention, made q speech Ho said
When the platform was examined,
every sensible man said that we had ac-
compIishod the work; that it was the
principle, not the man, ON which sue
cess was to be founded You know the
progress Of that canvass 1t was very
easily and gently done. There was no
wrangliug, no quarrel. There was an
excitement of enthusiasm the excite
ment to accomplish a great purpose
but after the opening OF the Convention
on tho morning Of ~ third day, the
result was inevitable. It was not ia the
power Of any man to have turned the
Convention 10 any other result than the
nomination Of Abraham Lincoln The
cool Judgment of the Convention, sit
ting as a jury, was unanimous for Lin
coin. It was not the work Of any man.
All the candidates were great, all we're
worthy, but that wasn't the only point
1t was, who on the whole was well quail
fed to fill the chair, and best qualified
to lead us on to victory, and Abraham
Lincoln was that man People may
boast that they killed this man off, or
that man-it is too much, too idle. 1t
was not in the power Of any man to
change the result,
I know Abraham Lincoln well. I
sat with bim in Congress, and a trucr or
more loyal man never held a seat ia the
House Of Representatives. You may
say he is not the handsomest man in the
world but we do not nominate him for
ballroom purposes. We wanted a man
Of loyal heart, and we found him in
Abraham Lincoln. And another rea-
son. He is q Western man. He lives
in the midst of one of the great prai-
ries that spread out beyond The lakes,
whose wealth, value and power few Of
us have properly appreciated. He is a
man Of Western origin, and growth, who
has grown with the marvellous growth
Of that marvellous region In the memo
ry Of most of us, these Western plains
were inhabited only by the buffalo and
the red man; now we find there cities
that rival those of the Atlantic, and a
hospitality that ezcels anything VIC have
ever known. There have gone our
brothers and our sisters, our sons and
daughters; there thrift and enterprise
have gone, and there is, and is to be-
the center of empire for this country
1 want to strike hands with this great
people; 1 want that we Of the East
should feel proper sympathy in their
interests and needs; aud when that day
comes, as may it never come, when the
cry Of "disunion" shall be forced upon
us, I want these hardy sons of the West
to feel that they have brothers here.

Eztravaganea and corruption.

Mr.. Henry, a delegate to the Balti-
more Convention, from the State Of
Tennessee, thus spoke of the prodigali.
ty and corruption Of tho National Ad-
in his speech before the
Convention:
81 declare to you, and speak to you
without figure of speech, that the gov
ornmont of the United States is now at
this time the most corrupt government
on the face Of the wide earth. What
do we witness2 The expenditures Of
the general government have increased
from S4O,OOO,OO in 1858 to $50, 100000
at this time, The distinguished "Sage
of Wheatland" declared that $40, 900
600 a year was too much, and ought to
be reduced, and yet in so short time
he has increased it to S8O,O0O,OOO, cry
ing all the time-"reform and the re-
ductiOn Of expenditures" how long do
you suppose it would take him to bring
them down S4O,OOO,OOO2 Laughter
and applause.
I recolect reading a story in a news
paper once, that illustrates this thing
most beautifully. A schoolmaster said
to one of his scholars "I have got a
sum for you to work out, John. Sup
pose there is q cat down in a well thirty
feet, and every day she climbs up one
foot and falls back two, I want you to
tell me how long it will be before she
gets to the top" The boy worked all
day at it, and covered both sides of his
slate with figures. lie worked all the
next day, and covered both sides of
another slate with figures. At last the
master said to him--"How are you get
ting along with that sum, John?' Says
John, "Ol have not got to the end
of the thing yet, but 1 think 1 can see
through it" "Well, how near is she
out?' "Sho is not getting out at all,
sir; so far from getting out she is more
than half way down to hell now" Great
laughter And that is a pretty fair
specimen of the manner in which Mr.
Buchanan is carrying on the affairs Of
the government.
Why gentlemen they arc stealing by
authority of law; absolutely doing it
with the cOuntenauce of the President
I remember very we'll that some distin-
guished gentleman in the city of Phila-
delphia wrote to tho President that
there was a fine company there who
were manufacturing something, and they
wanted to get a big contract from the
Navy Departments. They were Old Line
Wings, and if they got this contract
they would employ q large number of
hands, who would elect Col. Florence
to the next Congress. lie wrote this
letter to Mr.. Buchanan while he was
Presidont and he, instead Of putting
his heel upon it, as he ought to have
done; instead of having the man who
wrote IL prosecuted for offering him a
bribe-he handed the letter over to the
Secretary of the Navy with some terms
of commentator, and the result wa,
that the man who was recommended
got the contract. I declare to you
felt so humiliated when heard of tha
thing, that 1 scarcely looked an homes
man in the face for a week afterwards
And that is the way things are going
on now"

A Happy Tribute to Mr.. Lincoln

We copy the following happy tribute
to Mr.. Lincoln's abilities from the Au-
burn (New York; Daily Union, tho able
Republican organ published at Gov.
Stewards home:
The testimony is becoming ovcrwhelm-
ing that Lincoln 10 not a second rate,
but a first rate and truly great man. In
the first place, he appears to have come
to the years of his manhood as one of
those born noblemen of which the T..
States have produced only a few-supe-
rior as well to the superficial circum-
stances which seemed to surround him
as to the obstacles to acknowledged
greatness which seemed to lie in his
path. He had all those obstacles to
overcome by patient, laboriOus, perso-
yering etorts-involving at the same
time, the earning Of the means Of de-
traylng the expenses Of his education,
as well as of his ordinary living. He
overcamo them all, and acquired the
practical knowledge of a farmer, a
tradesman, a merchant, a military Off
Ger, and Of a lawyer. We think there
are few at this day to deny that a man
who is able to do all this has in him the
elements, at least, of true greatness
a greatness likely to display itself in a
more imposing manner on the happen
ing Of q sufficient opportunity, He APP
pears to have been q learned farmer,
blacksmith, merchants clerk, military
officer and lawyer-trst in his occupa-
tion or profession, whtever it was.
AS a lawyer he appears to have been
regarded from the first, by his associ-
ates at the bar, as being solid and pro
/ found. As an advocate he is accom-
| plished, eloquent and convincing. A
friend of ours, who has heard him, In
forms us that his style of eloquence is
fully equal in dignity and power to that
Of the late Joshua A. Spencer.
AS a politician, he is acknowledged
even by his opponents, to bo candid
consistent, honest and unwavering.-
Judge Douglas reluctantly, but manful
ly, pays him this tribute. Everybody
else who knows him in the West, pays
it willingly, and with an emphasis tina
is full Of meaning.
His published debates with Douglas
in 1858, raise him to the dignity Of q
full grown statesman. To use the Ian
guago of Lieut. Gov. Solden Of Roches
ter, and Hon. Charles b. Sedgwiok OF
! Onondaga: "No we'll informed person
can rise from a perusal Of those debatol
without feeling the impression ON hi
mind that Lincoln's is a master mind
that It's possessor is TRULY great man.
