It NAV not re ont OF place to say that i.
was nv reason of Mr.. Lncoln's own self
sacrafcing appeals to his friends, that Mr..
Trumbull was returned to the Senate.
In 1856, Mr. Lincoln again headed the
electoral ticket of his party, and labored
earnestly and effectively for the cause he had
espoused and advocated with so much earn
cstness and eloqucnce at the first Republican
Convention ever held in Illinois.
The contest of 1853 is known and read of
all men. The discussions between Lincoln
and Douglas, showed the former to be high
minded. earnest, candid man, and n States
man Of noble liberal views, whilst they
showed more clearly than ever before that
Douglas WIS mere politician, and dema-
go~ue-an adroit political gamester, but
rising never to the dignity Of craftsmanship.
It was in keepinr, therefore, with the whole
campaign. that. whilst Lincoln fairly gained
the day. Douclas won the prize through
nOltical cheat-the former receiving 125, 275
votes. the latter III. l'O but the latter beng

Lincoln was satisfied.
This article is already too extended to
leave space for a critical examination into
Mr. Lincoln'S character His integrity is
beyond all suspicion, pure and spotless. No
act of all his life deserves blush. His
principles are the doctrines of the Republican
partv-his craftsmanship eSchews the bah

and life long reverence for tn Constitution
and the Union, is broad enough, and long

Our Delegation i'm Congress-.

1t affords us pleasure to testify, as the
result of several days observations at Wash

delegation in both branches Of the National
Legislature from this State. Tn the Senate,
MessrS Grimes and Harlan are constantly at
their post, vigilantlv Watching and attending
to the interests of their constituents, and in
the House Messrs Curtis and Vandever are
held in high esteem and exert a command
inc influence. Our own member Col Curtis,
especially, is regarded Justly as one of the
leading members of the House Of Represen-
tativeS, of which the position assigned him
as chairman Of the special Pacific Railroad
committee is sufficient evidence. His man
agement of this important measure has been
very iudicious, and able He has collected
and brought to bear upon it mass of sta
tistics and facts, which have contributed
more to give the measured its present strength,
and which, as they will be followed up and
used hereafter by him, will secure ultimate
success. of a road from the western borders
of his own District He has prepared, at
considerable labor and expense, a map of
the route, which was exhibited in the House
at the time of the delivery of his recent able
speech, with decidedly favorable effect. We
desire to express to all our delegation our
obligations for numerous attentions and acts
of kindness during our stay in Washington.
To Col. Curtis and his amiable and accom-
plished Lady upon whose good nature, in
consequence of being their more immediate
constituents, we made the largest demand,
our thar ks are especially due.
