Another reason why the pay is inadequate
is owing to the fact tina. the Naval Officer

from this time forward this government is
to DO niger or anti-niggcr. We mean
by this nothing more nor less than the
irreprossible conflict between free and slave
labor,-the great interest OF many years.
The slave power has been the dominant
power; and because the whole of the
democratic party, as of old, would not
consent to have it continue so, has that
power seeded from the party, and bros
ken its backbone. The party dies be-
cause of the ngger. In the future, then,
as in the past, the niger will rule, or bis
opponents Will rule. There can be no
half way, fence stradllirg position in this
matter. That woody head stands up
above all other heads, and will not
down.
". Having realized the fact that your
party, though predisposed TO dissolution
by many other causes, died of the niger
Mt last, and admitted the truth that the
nigser can be ignored no longer, make
up your mind on which side of this great
slavery question You are ready to stand,
Do you believe in slavery? Are you ii
favor of the spread of slavery in terrific
ries nov free2 Arc you in favor Of
slave code for tho territories? Are you
willing to have all restrictions romo.9d
from the slave trade, and to allow co:n-
mcrce in human cattle to be re establish
ed? Do you believe this country was
made for slave labor so peculiarly that
every interest of free labor shall DO held
subordinate to it? No? Where are you
going then? We tell you that no party
in tn 3 country can prosper, or can evan
live ten years, that is not on one side OF
tho other of these questions. There isno
middle ground, and you have got to BIS

.sfE0nese Old Abel

We have met with numbers of intelli-
gent Eastern gentiamsn in this city who,
since the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln, have
visited Springfield, and seen, talkod and
become well acquainted with him; and
without a single exception, they are in
the highest degree favorably impressed
with the man, and filled with acontidence
that he is indeed, as his friends call him,
"honcst old Abe" apd entirely qualified
to take upon himself the responsibilities
of the Governmc!t.
Mr.. Lincoln is the easiest man in tho
world to become acquainted with. He is
"a man among men'-cGadid, straight
forward, una<suming and cordial, we
have known him for years, and this We
know to be his character. Aud we know
him we'll enough, to believe that, when
President, he will have ono ficnds TO
reward, nor enemies to punish;" that, in
the spirit of a true American Rapubli-
can Patriot, which he 10 in very truth, he
viii neither encourage the sycophantjq
cravsrs after office, who, for services they
may claim to have preformod, viii beg
for high rewards, nor allow pretended
friends, like those who have pesteFod old
Buchanan out Of his wits, TO bring indus
influences to bear upon him, or control
his Administration.
Tho corrupt md ambitious truckers to-
Povcr--tho Uriah Keeps of politics, will
find Mr.. Lincoln just the worst man to
tr;lo with they could possibly find; fov
we know no man who understands hirn<
self better, or whose mind looks deeper
or more discriminatory into the prob,
lem Of human nature. He has received
too many of the "hard knocks Of tho
world, mingled too long md too much
with all manner of mankind, not 10 know
what men are made of. While he if@-
self is strictly h0aest-and no one en- qucs.
ton that,-he at the same time knows, NJ
