an invention as not even to command con-
tempt, this hot weather We beg the radicals
ont West to take their inevitable fac with
more calmness People hsreabouts view the
prospect of the defeat of Mr. Lincoln with
philosophical calmness and supreme delight.
These large yarns abont North western CON
spiraces are too severe for warm weather,
and cant possibly avail to change the DEGREES
of destiny The democracy are making up
their minds to l long pull, a strong pull and
a pull altogether, and the end is therefore
