III Some very innocent persons, says
the N. A. Tribune, are sadly tfobled at the
idea that rail spiifting should be urged as .
qualification for the Presidency. Kind
friends, fret not your souls J The fact that
Abraham Lincoln once split rails is only
referred to IN order TO forcibly impress it
upon the minds ofthe people that Mr.. Lin
colu is a self-msde man lie had none OF
the advantages Of wealth. Of schools. of
powerful friends and of high social posi-
iion, and be is therefore entitled to the
greatest credit and respect for making him
self what be is-an orator, a scholar aud q
statesman. By his unaided exertions he
rose from rail splitter TO position among
the 6rst men of the country. and the peo.
pie are nov going to raise him few rails
higher
