only object seemed to be desire on the part of
Mr.. Lincoln to refresh his memory on some

upon the career OF the London TINES, instanced
as one Of unboundsi newspaper success, on ac-
count OF the vast number ot copies printed. To
the public Of America however, accustomed t.

or the lovers of freedom must eventually succeed
in making the nation all free or all slave. The
President said: II neUer said d~ything aftcr more
