year SlDce, Oh Tue NaIuTalllaJlOn question
and tho Massachusetts amendment, as we'll
as on the proprioty of fusion of the Re-
publican with other parties. Thefollowing
is the letter:
SPRINGFIELD, II May, 1859.
DR.. THEODORE CANIsIUs-Dear Sir:-I
have received your letter, in which you ask,
for yourself and other German citizens,
whether 1 am for or against the Constitu-
tional provision, in relation to naturaized
citizens, which has lately been adopted by
Massachusetts; and whether l am for or
against afusion of the Republican and other
opposition elements, for the election cam
paign of 1860.
Massachusetts, is sovereign and indie
pendent State, and have no title to advise
or admonish her as to her course, or what
she shall do. But when any one, from that
which she has done, seeks to draw a conclu-
sion as to what shall do, may, without
being charged with presumption, speak my
mind. | say, then, that, so far as I under
stand the Massachusetts amendment, l am
against the adoption of the same, as we'll in
Illinois, as in all other places where l have
the right to oppose it. Since l Interpret the
spirit of our institution as tending to the
elevation of man, am opposed to every
thing which leads to his degradation
Since, as is pretty well known, commiser
ate the oppressed condition of the negro, !
should be guilty of remarkable inconsis
tency, were TO favor any measure, whose
tendency is to abridge the existing rights o
aChite men, whether born in another coun
try, or speaking another language than my
own.
AS regards the question of fusion o
parties, am for it if it can be effected upol
a Republican basis; upon no other terms
am in favor of it. A fusion upon an,
other terms would be rs unwise as it woulC
be unprincipled Its effect would be TO los
thereby the whole North, while the com
mon enemy would certainly carry the South
The question in relation to men is differ
ent one. There are good and patriotic men
and able statesmen in the South, whom
would cheerfully support if they stood upor
Republican ground; but l am opposed t.
lowering the Republican standard by 81
much as hairs breadth.
? havo written this in haste, but be
lieve that it substantially answers your ques
tions. Respectfully yours,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

mr. seward speaks EdItorinlIy.

The N. Y. Courier & Enquirer says: "Ii
anybody doubts the devotion of Governor
Seward to the principles of the Republican
party and his abncgation of sell, it is only
necessary for them to read the following
from the Auburn Daily Advertise1. of Sat
urday. Governor Seward himself wrote
the short leader which announced the re-
suit at Chicago; and it is Characteristic Of
the man. We speak advisedly when we
say that the following not only speaks the
sentiments of Governor Seward, bat that IL
waS '0ritteen By him:
From the Auburn Daily Advertiser.
We place the names of Lincoln and
Hamlin at the head of our columns, with
pride and satisfaction. No truer exposition
of the Republican creed could be given
than the platform adopted by the Conven
ton contains. No truer or firmer defend
ers of the Republican faith could have been
found in the Union, than the distinguished
and esteemed citizens on whom the honor:
of the nomination have fallen. Their elec
tion, we trust, by decisive majority, will
restore the government of the United States
to its constitutional and ancient COURSE
Let the watchword of the Republican party
then, be Union and Liberty, and onward t
Victory"

Po,,,,raI R,vOlu,,on "Doun East

The remarkable circumstance that the Hon. I'ase
Davis an old and sterling Democrat has been elected
Mayor Of Worcester-the hobed OF Massachusetts, ultra
Repubeanism-is thus alluded to by the Transcript IRE
puoEcau) of that city
"A city that on the 9Th day Of November cast two
thousand six hundred and foryeght Republican votes to
thirteen hundred and fcrtyeight for all two
to One-on the eighth Of December gives majority of
one hundred ard eventyhTee for the Democratic can
ddlte, uuder the Of Citizens ticket! Some of
the causes for this change not far 10 seek Others are
OF a more doubtful nature"
Aud again it says
T is certainly singular circumstance that in fourteen
cities OF this CommOnWealh-every one but one giving
Republican plurality, al but two giving Republican
m jorly-the RspubhcaEs ouy elect their municipal
eli ers in three"
Wehaye no doubt that tremendous and radical re-
action is in progress all over the North and that Black

wise and extreme of the Cotton States should
