Lincoln however sat to some purrose, as disciple,

These from lme to dime, have noticed, and hey

appeal TO this vital position Of his speeches namely
that these States To hive togeher must nece ssany
be either all Slave States or all Free States; that h
conflict must CONTINUED; and that hence the real qaeF

inaion is just as squarey pltllng the Northern Stats

From The BoItn Herald tDouglas) |
The nomination, IN many respects, is strong on
and will be difficult TO defeat and those who hstt
themselves that the Democrats are TO walk over q
Presidential course with ease, will find themseiv |
mistaken. Tie Convention al Chicago has given es |
delce of shrewdness, no lees in tie nomination Of y
Lincoln than in the platform adopted, which ia pr
gressive without being ultra; and unless il is met by
platform equally plain and lutegible, 1t will requs

The nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the Pre- |

If Mr. Seward has been as deeply enshrned ss 1

position without damage TO the principles which es
ably advocated! Can all tie obscurity of Abb aood
