The FIre ON the Prairies.

On Monday night a grand ratification
meeting was held at Paris. Ill. The town
was in blaze OF light, flashing from win
dows and house tops, and from hundreds
of torches and transparencies in the streets.
Joy lighted every Republican face, and a
determination to plant the Republican
banner OF the Fathers once more on the
White House, was manifest throughout the
assembled crowds. The Court House
was crammed to its utmost capacity by
joyful citizens, who were addressed by Dr.
Stephenson of this city.
The Republican camp fires are blazing
all over the broad prairies of the North
West, and will grow brighter and brighter
until the coming victory is secured.

Fillmore Men for Lincoln.


It is very common matter, in talking with
those who were for Mr. Fillmore in 1856, to
find them willing to support Lincoln and
Hamlin. They profess strong friendship
for Mr.. Bell, but say that they were indu
ced to throw away their votes in I656-or
worse than throw them away-by voting
for Mr.. Fillmore, and thus not helping
him, but their hereditary enemy, the Dem
ocratic party. They declare that they can
not be deceived second time. 1t was
told them in 1856 that Mr.. Fillmore was
likely TO be elected. Tho returns came in,
when 10, and behold he bad obtained the
electoral vote Of only one Stale-Mary.

Mr.. Bell, they admit, has not the reno.
test prospect of being elected; hence ap.
peals to them to vote for him can proceed
only from deliberate design to deceive
them Into the incidental support of that
LecOmpton party whose policy they loathe
The consequence of this state Of feeling
is, that there are very few reading and
thinking Bell men who will hesitate TO
support Abe LincoIn-a man who was

party, the friend and follower of Henry
Clay, and who now stands on platform

uT We ask Mr.. Hudson to answer this
question Did Mr.. Lincoln, while member
Of Congress, vote for or against supplies
for our gallant soldiers, when fighting the
battles Of their country, 10 Mexico =
Journal.
We answer the editor of the Journal, that
on every occasion, while Mr.. Lincoln was
a member of Congress. when supplies were
asked for the Army in Mexico, he voted
for them, and We challenge Mr.. Cookery
to give one Instance to the contrary.
II the editor of the Journal will consult
the " Debates Of Lincoln and Douglas"
just Published, on page l58 Of those de
bates. he will find this charge against Mr..
Lincoln answered by Mr.. Lincoln himself.
He there says. "I never voted against the
supplies for the army, whenever dollar
was asked by way of compensation or
otherwise for the benefit of The soldiers, 4
gaze all the uOtes that FickliR or Douglas did,
and perhaps more"
We answer this question of the editor of
the Journal, not because we think we owe
it TO him, but to put the muzzle,
in this particular, upon that reckless pen
OF his. In our Tuesdays issue We said
Mr.. Lincoln had voted for every bill which
came before the Hoose, while he was a
member, asking supplies for the army, and
with that article staring our neighbOr
full in the face. he propounds to us the
above question.
Let US now reiterate TO the editor of the
Journal, that the friends of Abraham
Lincoln will not remain silent and see any
by positive averment, or indirectly by
If there is any thing why he

entire people, make it public, but remem-
ber you are now dealing with a man
whose whole life is one unlarnished record |
of virtuous action, and whose public
history is before the country and will ad-
nit Of no misscOnstructioD. Remember /
Mr.. Cookery, that you are not attacking /
the lortuous record of demagogue, but |
the straight forward history of a true man
of an intellectual man-of a conscientious
great man-of Statesman-of
a man of virtue-a man Of truth-a patriot
and christian. Remember that every false
hood you tell, and put IN circulation in
relation to Abraham Lincoln, will be
nailed with the sledge hammer of truth
upon your frontlet. and if you desire to
retire from this contest with a skin un-
tanned and hide whole, you had better
now work yourself up to the unnatural
Democratic condition of telling the truth,
though it does very much violate your long
practice.

RIcH.-We copy an article from the Pa
ducah Herald, a Democratic paper. which
is decidedly rich specimen of Democratic
literature. The article is trenchant ano
two edged. The writer seems to be ben
on cutting and slashing at Lincoln owe
Douglass shoulders. Old Abe gets more
compliments than cuts from his enemy
while Little Doug. is sorely hacked and
perforated
The last sentence, which contains an
acknowledgement of the use the De.

and Everett to-that is, to make cats paws
of them-is very suggestive TO third party
men.
BLACK REPUBLICAN NoMINEEs:-1t will be
seen that the Black Republican Convention
which met at Chicago on the 9th inst. has
nominated Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois,
for President and Hannibal Hamlin, OF
Maine, for Vice President.
Our belief is that it is the strongest
ticket which could have been nominated.
Lincoln has been given the position
to catch Illinois, Indiana, and the north :
west, while Hamlin has been put on TO
counteract the strength of Everett in New
England.
Lincoln is a Kentuckian by birth, law
yer by profession, an inlidel in religion,
and low down Black Republican dema-
gogue in politics-something after the style
Of Douglas. He is tall ,lank hump shOul-
dcred, awkward, ugly specimen Of humani-
ty, but is a man of genius, of great powers
as an orator, and is greatly liked as a
genial companion, though he is not a
drunkard like Douglas. He had only a
local reputation as politician until
he made the canvass against Douglas
for United States Senator eighteen months
since. That canvass made him the Black
Republican candidate for President, while
the same canvass destroyed Douglas.
Lincoln can, we think, carry Illinois
against any man in America, and there is
probably only one man in the Union who
can beat him in Indiana, and that man is
James Guthrie. There is large number
of Kentuckians in Indiana, Democrats and
Wings, who are generally very conserva.
tive men, aud great many of whom are
personally acquainted with Mr.. Guthrie,
and Nave confidence in his integrity, con-
servatism, and patriotism. They would
all rally round Mr.. Guthrie and give him
the State.
Lincoln will also be very strong in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Rhode Island. In all those States Mr..
Guthrie is also strong, and we believe can
defeat Lincoln.
But there is no doubt but it is strong
ticket.
Mr.. Hamlin. the candidate for Vice
President. is an old fogy Yankee. full of
tariff, and sort of pet of the cotton spin
ners and loom lords He will carry New
England for the ticket, unless Everett car
ries off enough votes from him to leave the
Democracy in the ascendant Thus Bell
and Everett may be of some service to the
Democracy and their country.

Hannibal HamIin.

Hannibal Hamlin. who was nominated
by the Republican Convention at Chicago
for Vice President, was born in Paris, Ok
ford county, Maine, in august, 1909, and
is now in the 5Ist year of his age. He is
by profession a lawyer, but for the last
twenty four years has been, for much of the
time, in political life. From 1886 to lS4O
he was a member of the Legislature of
Maine, aud for three Of those years he was
the Speaker of its House of Representa-
tives. In 1943 he was elected member
Of Congress, and re elected for the follow
ing term. In 1S47 he was again member
OF the State Legislature of Maine
and the next year was chosen TO fill va
cancy, occasioned by the death of John
Fairfield, in the United States Senate. In
1851 he was reelected for the full term in
the same body, but resigned on being cho-
sen Governor of Maine in 1851. In the
same month he was again elected to the
United States Senate for six years, which
Office he accepted. resigning the Governor
ship. He is still member of the Senate.
This record is an evidence of the conf
dence with which he has always been re
garded by his fellows citizens in Maine.
Up to the time of the passage of the Kan.
sas Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr.. Hamlin
was a member of the Democratic party. -
That act he regarded a proof that the
party, with which he had been all his life
connected. no longer deserved the name of
Democratic, and was Lreacherous to the
principles he had so long cherished
/ Thenceforward he gave his support to the
Republican party, of which he has ever
since continued a faithful and distinguish
ed leader.
Mr. Hamlin is man of dignified pres
ence, of solid abilities. of unflinching in
tegrity, and great executive talent. Fa
miiar with the business of legislation, he
is peculiarly adapted. by the possession o.
all these qualities, to fill beneicially fol
the country, and to his own and his party:
honor, the high post for which he has beer
nominated The name Of Hannibal Ham
lin of Maine, is fit second to that of Abra
ham Lincoln of Illinois.

CRcUs.--Antonio Brothers Mammoth
Circus, awaked our already bustling city
into additional life and stir on Tuesday,
by erecting their extensive pavilion on the
lot southeast of the Terre Raute House.
The afternoon performance was largely
attended by the wealth. the intelligence,
the fashion and the beauty of our gay city,
also by a slight sprinkling of rowdies and
FOUNDERS of the city and surrounding coun-
try.
The performance was, We are informed,
far superior to the average of those given,
by what Dan Rice calls "the Horse Opera." 4"
The usual number of side shows ac-
companied the circns, making the usual
amount of noise and dimes, and adding
their mite to the County and City Treas
uries.
Matters of graver importance prevented
us from honoring the mammoth exhibition
more than a few minutes. During the
short time we were present. we were much
pleased with the very graceful manner
in which our presence was acknowledged.
The grand entree was made, as usual,
and usual was led by most beautiful and
facinating lady, aad as usual performed
some beautiful and inimitable feats of fine
riding, only more SO.
No sooner had we entered the vast tent
Il
when the queenly leader ordered, by a
graceful wave of her whip, ''front face

most bewitching bow. which was badly
initiated by her subjects. A young friend

The New York SUN on Lincoln

II ne new Ork sun on Lincoln.
The New York Sun, the oldest and most
widely circulated penny paper in the Uni
ted States, which has never been Repub-
lican paper, has the following on the Re-
publican nomination:
"The first impression produced among
our city politicians, that the rejection OF
Mr.. Seward and the nomination of Mr.
Lincoln, by the Chicago Convention was a
blunder, has been removed by subsequent
reflection. 1t is now admitted that Mr.
Lincoln's nomination is a strong one, and
that he will receive the united support oi
the party. He is, emphatically, man oil
the people, and owes his present proud po
sitiOn to his own efforts and energy. Thai
he would, if elected, make good Presi
dent, we do not entertain a doubt.
His chances of an election are certainly
good unless the Democrats show more wis
dom at Baltimore than they did at Charles n
The people are tired of being ruled by pro
fessional politicians, aud they would rather
vote for man like Mr.. Lincoln, who holds
in measure, an independent position
than for an old party leader, who hai
friends to reward and enemies to punish.

IL The editor of the Journal commenced
his misrepresentation by saying that Mr..
Lincoln, while member Of Congress,
"voted against the Mexican war;" We re-
piled to that charge, and showed that Mr..
Lincoln was not a member of Congress
when war was declared against Mexico by
this government, and that at the time he
first took his seat. Gen. Scott had fought
The battles of the Valley, and actually had
taken possession Of the city of Mexico
This was proof conclusive that the asser-
tion Of the editor was false, and he aban-
doned it.
His next Misrepresentation was, that Mr..
Lincoln had voted against supplies for the
army. AS proof against this we showed,
that on every occasion, without one single
exception, when supplies were asked for
the army in Mexico, while kr. Lincoln
was member of Congress, he voted for
them.
Our neigbbor then abandoned this posi-
tion, and taking another, and We suppose
last tact. charges that Mr.. Lincoln, while
Member of Congress, declared that the
Mexican war was 'unjust." This exhausts
the Mexican war question, and the editor
asks us to state if this charge against Mr..
Lincoln is not true. We will answer our
neighbor positively. We suppose IL is true.
Mr.. Lincoln, with the Wing party gener-
ally, maintained that "the war was unnec-
essary, and unconstitutionally commenced
by the President" But after it was COM
menced, and the American soldier was
upon foreign battle field, Mr. Lincoln,
as did the WhiE party. gave every assis-
tance in supplying and encouraging the
army, that was asked for Mr.. Lincoln
may have thought the war was "unjust."
Mr.. Clay thought SO, and so did Mr.. Web
ster, yet both of them gave son whose
blood battened Mexican soil. In fact a
large portion of the American people
thought the Mexican war was unjust, un-
necessary and uncostitutionally com
menced by the President. Prominent
Democrats thought so and said SO. Yet
when American blood was shed upon the
tle-field, We all recollect how the heart
of this nation throbbed, and how the
young men, and the old men from every
quarter, aud entertaining every shade of
opInon, rushed to the call Of the fife and
the drum. Whether the war was properly
and rightfully begun or not, was not then
the question, all that was asked. was, does
the country need assistance, and the peo-
ple's treasury was thrown open, and thou.
sands and tens of thousands of brave
hearts thrilled with glorOus impulse to
give that which was required. In this
feeling and desire, Mr.. Lincoln participa-
ted as much as any other citizen, and al
though entertaining opinions different from
the Administration then in power. in rela-
ton to the business of the war, yet never,
by act, word, or vote did he withhold
all the necessary assistance in the prOsecu-
tion of that war.
What is your next step, neighbOr, in re
lation to Mn. Lineoln's position as regards
the Mexican war2 We will wait and see
If, however, you can make any capita
out Of the fact that he thought that wa
"unjusf,' we will be happy to read care

able pen as you WELD.

IL The following high compliment of
Hon. Abe Lincoln, We take from the Gin
cinnati Times, which was, in the campaign
of 1856, one of the most effective and ser
viceable journals, that advocated the elec
ton OF Mllard Fillmore
Tn regard to the fitness of the candi
dates named or TO be named, for the Presi-
dency, we have but this opinion. that Mr.
Lincoln while perhaps less brilliant, less
of a natural genius, less Of an intellectual
giant than Mr.. Douglas, he has at the same
time more of those sober and excellent
qualities that constitute the real man, and
more of that sterling characteristic tina
forms the patriotic statesman"
