an important and momentous duty to per.

are to nominate men to conduct the political
campaign so as to suppress rebellion and re-
establish tho authority Of the United States
over all the land. Old Abe will be nominat.

for Vice President there is a good deal OF
speculation. However, the question will be
decided Tomorrow by statesmen and patr-

Speech of President Lincoln.

TRIBUTE TO THE LOYAL WOMEN.
At the close of the Patent Office Fair
in Washington on Friday night Mr..
Lincoln, in answer to loud and continuous
calls, made the following remarks:
Ladies', and Gentlemen / appear but
to saw a word. This extraordinary war in
which we are engaged falls heavily upon
the soldier For it has been said. all
that man hath will he give for his life:
and while all contribute of their substance
the soldier puts his life at stake, and Of
ten Yields it up in his countryss cause.
The highest merit, then, is due to the
soldier. Cheers.
ssIn this extraordinary war extraor-
dinary Developments have manifested
themselves, such as have not been seen
in former wars, and among the manifes-
tatious nothing has been more remarha-
Bile than these fairs for the relief of the
suffering soldiers and their families
And the chief agents IN these fairs are
the women of America tCheers-
am not accustomed to the use Of Ian
guage of eulogy. / have never studied
the art of paying compliments to women.
but I must say that if all has been said
by orators and poets since the creation OF
the world in praise of women, were to be
applied TO the women Of America, il
would not do them justice for their con-
duct during this war. / will close by
saving God bless the women Of Ameri-
ca. (Great applause
