The London Critic reviews the speeches of Abra-
ham Lincoln. In the of it's article occurs the
following passage: 1T is from the speeches which
Mr.. Lincoln has from time to time delivered in opPo-
sition to Mr. Douglas that we gather some idea OF his
mental qualifications We collect from the speeches
of Mr. Lincoln that he has mind rather OF the straight
than of the eubte order that he rather sezes
upon great and prominent facts and argues them to
plain conclusions than builds up elegant but fragile
theories upon the reacherous basis of ncfu specula
ton; that he is earnest more than passionate, and
commanding more than persuasive. Indeed, every one
of his speeches which we have read bears upon the
face of it evidence that he is Honest Old Abe"

"A correspondent writes as follows from St. Joseph,
Mo-, under date of Aug. 9th, concerning Republican
| ism on the Border:"
81 believe you will willingly grant brief space in
your columns for account Of the first sraigh-out,
ont-door Republican rally held here or, indeed
anywhere on the Missouri Border. II has peculiar
significance when think of the scenes which were
rauspirDg in this part of the world Just four years
agoIwhich scenes your readers in the Free States,
have not ween forgotten. We have not here
little more than year ago, the Hon. F. III. Blair Of st.
Louis made an Anti.Slavery speech here, which was
not broken Off though the meeting was rendered I'M
pleasant by the groaus misses and disturbances with
which the Pro-Slayery Roughs fit to interard the
proceedings. But on that oGaon it was ssidby some
inolerants that the distinguished reputation OF the
speaker, and the fact that he did not speak a dis
tinctive Republican, but only Missourian from
Missouri stand point alone protected the meeting from
being suppressed. II ntimated that raght.out
Republican gathering would still be considered nu-
sance 10 be abated summarly by such good citizens as
might have leisure TO perform the feat But the good
work went quietly onward. The Free Democrat 1.-THE
only avowed Ant-Savery paper in this part OF the
| State was not permitted TO go down. We looked TO
ST. Louis and took courage. Last Winter we effected
skeleton organization by the appointment OF City and
County Central Committees. Since the nomination Of
| Lincoln and Hamln Wide-Awake Club has been
formed in this city, and last week il announced in
big posters through the city, that grand torch light
/ procession would come off here on Saturday evening"
and that Republican speeches would be made at the
| Court-House. Dougas Democrat remarked in the
morning to the Chairman of our County Central Com
mittee that he supposed there would be about six who
would have the disposition and the pluck to take part
in a Lincoln and Hamin torch-light procession
Evening came and the Republicans assembled in front
of The Free Democrat office; when, 10! though we
had been quite sanguine Of at least a respectable
demonstration, il found that not burners enough
had been provided to accommodate more than half the
number that desired TO take part In the procession. Yet
under these circumstances, the procession outcouned
the Bell and Everett procession which paraded the
same evening. just as the procession was leaving me

Marcus j. Parrou Of Kansas would arrive on the
