In the Fall of 1858 a correspondent of The Boston
Transcript, the President of College in Illinois,
described Incolns debate with Douglas at Salisbury,
ILL., That paper now republishes extracts from the
description After stating the reception Of the rival
champions, the writer continues:
"The men are entirely dissnilar. Mr.. Douglas is
thick-set finely courageous man, and has an ar
of self-confdence that does not little to inspire his
supporters with hope. Mr.. Lincoln is TALL lank man,
awkward, apparently difident, and when not speaking,
has neither rmness in his countenance nor fire IN his
'"M Mr. Lincoln has rich silvery voice, enuncates
with great cearness, and has fine command Of Ian
guage He commenced by review of the points Mr.:
Douglas had made. In this he showed great tact, and
his retorts, though gentlemanly, were sharp, and
reached to the the subject in dispute. While he
gave but little time to the subject of review, We did
not feel that anything was omitted which deserved
attention.
Here he charged Mr.. Douglas with doing nothing for
of the colored man; and for about forty minutes he
spoke with power that we have seldom heard
equaled. There grandeur IN his thoughts,
comprehensveness in his arguments, and binding
force in his conclusions, which silent DEATH
every eve was fixed upon the speaker, and all gave
him serious attention He the tall man eloquent
his countenance glowed with animation, and his eye
glistened with an intelligence that made 1t lustrous.
He was no longer awkward and unganlyi but grace
ful, bold, commanding
& Mr.. Douglas had been quietly smoking up to this
time; but here he forgot his cigar and listened with
anxious attention. When he rose to reply he appeared
excited distrbed and his second effort appeared to us
greatly inferior to his first. Mr. Lincoln had given
him great task and Mr. Douglas had not the time to
answer him, even if he had the ability
AT a ratification meeting in favor of Bell and Ev
erett, held in Mobile on Saturday evening last the
following resolution among others, was passed:
Rslsed That the South has opportunity such as has
gIed sonsra STAKEHOLDER devoted to her true interests
ha. led 70 the disruption Of the Democratic payn the Pes
DENTAL chair and thus to secure exemption from the evils which
have become alarming and seem 20 imminent"
| The Mobile Adrertiser says of this subject:
"There is no mistake about it, the Baltimore nom-
nations have touched cord in the popular heart and
awakened feeling which cannot be resisted Every
mention of the names of Bell and Everett last night
was greeted with an enthusiasm which could not be
depressed 1t was, in truth grand, glorious meet
ing and its influence cannot fail to be most saluary
and cheering The leaven of Constitutional Unionsm
is fairly at work here and elsewhere and it will grow
and expand until the whole country is leavened."
AT the meeting of the Democratic State Committee
of Massachusetts, already alluded to- the Douglas men
did not succeed in obtaining the open Endorsement of

his nomination.
The Baltimore Patriot desires it to be widely
known that the landlords of its city do not propose to
cheat the delegates to the approaching Democratic
Convention. If the accommodations in the Monumental

more and Ohio Railroad Company will trains, so
that delegates can breakfast, sup and sleep at the
capital and vote and dine where the Convention is
held Tie Patriot also is anxious to have it clearly
understood that Baltimore is place where life and
personal property is secure.

The Mi,caukec Netcs having affected to condole
with the adherents of Mr.. Seward, The Sentinel
says;
The Ne,gs slightly mistakes the feelings and pur
noses Of our Wisconsin Republicans They do indeed
deeply regret that William H. Seward is not to be our
chosen standard-bearer in the approaching contest but
they are united to Il in the determination TO fol-
low the flag and keep step TO the music Of the Republic
can party, and to give Lincoln and Hamln their und-
vded and Jealous support. Time will show that every
Republican State that voted for Seward at Chicago
viii heartily sustain Lincoln at the polls That is the
lesson which Seward Republicans everywhere have
learned from their illustrious leader"
Tile Mlraukee Free Democrat says:
"From the general enthusiasm with which the Chi
cago nominations have been received in all parts of the
country we are more than ever convinced of their
proprie!y and righteousness. Even in those States
