Mr.. LINCOLN AND COMPROMISE.
The New York Tribune of Yesterday says:
The Express aud the Herald loudly declare til 1t
Mr.. Lincoln has listened to the Compromisers, and
is inclined to sacrifice the PRINCIPLES of the Chcapo
platform The same rumor was Yesterday repeated
by the reporter of Washington gossip for the As.
socated Press. We do not hesitate to sav that these
statements are false and caLunmioas. We have the
best authority for saving that Mr. Lincoln is on
posed to all concessions of the sort. We kno,o that
MS views are fully expressed in his own language
follows
will suffer death before will consent or advise nv
friends to consent to concession or compromise which
looks Ike buying the privilege taking possession of
the Government to which have Constitutional right
because, whatever might think of the merit of the va
rlous propositions before Congress- should regard anv

stng disorganired state of affairs in Mexico But this

people, and if they desire to call Convention TO remove
any grievances complained to give new guarantees

This is not only to be taken as Mr.. LincoIn's de-
claratiOn of his own views but it amply expresses
the conviction of every mistaken Republican, as to
the duty of the hour. Fl st inaugurate the new
Administration and determine the question of oues-
tions, whether we have Government or onlv
Mexican Anarchy; and when that problem is dis
posed or it will be time enough to consider and
settle matters Of inferior consequence.

A LrvEE.-Wc learn from Capt. Fisher
of the ferry boat Decalion, that on Saturday
a contract was entered into between the Su-
pervisors Of Drury township, Rock Island
county, ILL.,, and P. 4 J. Ryan, of this city,
for the construction of levee from Drury's
Landing, to the Ferry Landing opposite
Muscatine. This levee is to be two feet above
high water mark and wide enough on
the top for a wagon road. This is good
news. 1t cannot but be of great value to
Muscatine merchants, as it secures the ben
eft of good wagon road at all seasons Of
the year.

Capt. W. s. Robertson, of the gallant Union
Guards, at Columbus City. The Captain is
fred with indignation at the insults offered
the American flag by Southern traitors, and
says his company IS ready and anxious to

can be found in the State than the Union
Guards.
P. S. Captain Robertson has received from
Governor Kirkwood an acceptance of the SER
vices of his company.
