LiAeoln . Candidate for Rs.elsctae>.
The Herald, which understands the
White House in Washington. tells us Mr.
Lincoln 10 to be or 10 candidate for re-.
election. We have NO doubt of it. But
few men cves wcre in the White House

soldiers and 500, 1000 civil officers, has q

Only two men living ever laid down such
power-Charles V. and the Roman EN-.

The solemn gravity Of Chase is not to be

:" fuss and feathers" are blown away, in
the end, BY the wind Of gunpowder. The
next President, as things are now rapidly
running on, is to be made by the armies
Of the United States, in the camps of
these armies, and all any Of US will be
