a native Of Kentucky, Mr.. Lincoln has been
Tor many years citizen Of tue State Of Illinois,
10 whose Legislature he served with distinction
during four successive terms. Elected 10 the
House Of Representatives in the vear ls47, and
acting at that time with the Wing party, be was
distinguished alike for the all lily and au.eni,v
| which he brought 10 the discharge Of his public
duties. Though of late years retired from the
walks Of political life. he was selected br the
Republican party Of Illinois as their standard
oeafer IN the exciting contest waged in the
summer Of 1855 before the people Of that
| State for the succession of the Senatorial
chair made vacant By the expiration Of the
term Of service for which The lion, S,e-
| phen a. Douglas bad been elected. That
selection Was tribute no less to the political
position held by Nr. Lincoln among his confed-

Though fully identified With the principles of

any honor 1t 1na5 be able to confer, Mr. Lincoln,
SO lar as We ere a'sutc, has not until recently
occupied prominent place in the list Of dis
