WHAT CALEB CUSHING SAYS OF
LlNCoLN.-In a conversation between
Caleb Cushing and Col. Parker, author
of " "reminiscences of Rufus Choate, %
Cushing said: Abraham Lincoln is a
much ADLER man than is generally sup
posed, even in his own party. In his
canvass with Douglas he beat him in
argument, beat him at law, and beat
him at wit, and the published debates
of that canvass will sustain this asser-
tion." ~ aL W -
