Tne Presidents Letter.

Every one must admire tie simple
ca9der of the President. When he
takes up subject, he holds it to the
light, and the truth at once becomes
transparent. His reply 10 the Missouri
delegation extracts the kernel from the
hull and shell; or. in other words. blows
away The chaf and the wheat is yisi
ble. II does not seem a work of labor
for Mr.. Lincoln TO do this. On the con-
trary.it is SO easily done, and so simply,
that the wonder i every one did not
see the thing as i! is sooner.
The rift-wood. the fog. the smoke.
the soph,s;ry. which the heat of p.rii-
sanship has collected, is thrown aside.
and men can look into the merits of the
case, see the error ard where to apply
che remedy. The conclusiveness of
the positions taken BY the President. is

We notice in his letter one position
which We had taken from th, start
namely, that the Lawrence massacre
was one of those phases of the war
against which no ordinary foresish,
could prevail. No general can preven,
raids. They are constantly occurring
quite as daring ones as that upon
Laurence; and the only reason they
are no, as damnable i. because they
are conducted by men and not by
Incarnate devils.

The Election

Next Tuesday promises to be con-
tested pretty sharply by the candi-
dates. As we said last week, we do
not see how any honorable man who
was pledged before the Convention
can do otherwise than support the
nominees. If a man SAYS he will do
a thing and DON'T do it, what is hel
And if whole communities break a.
way from the restraints of plighted
faith, where will we drift!
There can be no excuse for bolt
ing except fraud ; and the idea OF a
man or set of men selecting MA
JoRIrY of the delegates and organi-
zing the Convention with officers of
their own choice, and then sboIting,'
is thing we have first witnessed in
Jefferson County, Kansas, this fall.
1t we were candidate, and should
pack a convention with delegates,
and fail of nomination, we would
submit without a murmur, and sup
port the Ticket! Or if we had lent
our influence to such combination,
we would stick 10 it like a MAN.
There is more involved in the is
sue than the election or defeat of a
candidate-or a set Of them-in the
present tcanvass-there is PRINCIPLE.
principle that must live when all the
candidates are dead and gone. But
Tor this, we should remain silent.
