views Of tho President ELECT.

The following, from the Missouri Dem
ocrot, is, in our op mon, a genuine report
Of conversation between President Lin
coin and a gentleman Of st. Louis. 1t
will be seen that tho President is full
match:
Mr.. Lincoln was asked, "Do you think
the Missouri Compromise line ought 10 be
restored y lie replied that although the
recent Presidential election was q verdict of
the people in favor Of freedom upon all the
territories, yet personally, he would ba
willing, for the sake Of The Union, to di-
vide the territory we now own by that line,
if in the judgment Of the nation it would
save the Union and restore harmony. But
whether the acquisition Of territory here
after would not reopen the question and
renew the strife, was a question TO be
thought Of, and IN some way provided
against.
He bad been inquired Of whether be in
tended to recommend the repeal Of the
anti-fugitiye slave laws Of the States. He
replied that he had never read one Of thcra,
but that If they were Of the character as
cribed to them BY Southern men, they GER
tainy ought to lie repealed. Whether, as
President Of the United States, be ought
10 interfere with the State Legislation by
Presidential recommendation, required moro
thcughttLan he lad yet given the subject.
He had also been asked if he intended
10 interfere OF recommend an interference
with slavery, aud the right Of holding
slaves in the dockyards and alscnaHs Of tho
United States Lis reply was, .sindeed,
sir, the subject has not entered my mind"
He was inquired Of whether he Intended
to recommend the abolition Of slavery in
the the District of Columbiag to which he
replied, "Upon my word, gentlemen, q
have not given the subject thought a
gentleman present said 70 him, " Wei, NJ
Lincoln, suppose these difficulties should
not Be settled nefore YOU are inaugufatSd,

There are some very Interesting facts

The London Times thus refers TO the
only unpleasant incident that occurred dur
inc the Princes tour in this country:
1.-THE only really unpleasant incident
which has occurred during the tour was the
conduct Of the mob at Richmond, the cap
ito of Virginia
The truth il, Richmond IS a place which
he Prince should never haze been taken
to visit II there i a place justly odious
to the feelings Of Englishmen and their
sovereign, Il is that mart where the human
animal, which is now almost the only pro-
duct Of Virginia, is rnthlessly sold for con-
sumption III the dreary plantations Of the
South. From such q spot every humane
and intelligent traveller turns aside with IN
gincible repugnance, and we can hardly re-
eret that those who were so i'll advised as to
turn aside from their path to come in con-
tact with this abominaton should have lad

that subsists Oh the buying and selling Of
human flesh"
