Lincoln's 'last and brightest idea is but
the fixed idea, the established rule OF action oil
the Black Republican party for every depart,

that the most hateful md unworthy OF their
order shall succeed the last of the Romans

judicial They have called Abraham Lincoln
TO the Executive chair of Washington. They
have elected and reelected Charles Sumner
and Henry Wilson to the seats Of Webster and
Choate in the United States Senate. They
have out Hale and another Of his gcaus in the
seats of Woodbury. and Pierce and Chandler
in the place of Cass, in the same body. And,

in either House Of Congress. Some six weeks
ago, he wrote letter TO Governor Blair, OF
Michigan, which will be found below. In call

in mind that it is from the pen Of the lndivid'l-
