He SAID he did not think there was .
single man present at the meeting who
would stand up and say that Abraham LIN
coin should be re-elccled President o! the
United states lie had told the people Of
this country that the best policy for the
country was no policy at ali. daughter
So far a. ne lMr. Butz) was personally con-
cerned he did not want any such man for
the President Of the United States. He
thought that Abraham Lincoln was the
WEAKEST man that ever filed the presidcn-
t.ai chair. (Great cheesing.) lie had no
merits thst were worthy Of emulation, and
had no more sense than . child. Loud
-laughser ard applause He considered nm
a perfect i,ubecllc. (Renewed appisuse.)
Ne had come from the little town OF spring
field. and had acted as il he had never seen
any other place. He was decidedly opposed
to Lincoln, and IN the event o! Lincoln "e-
inv reelected ne would dread the conse-
aupnces. Cameron would be sure " DC

has hoisted tn. l.ame of John c. Fremont as
candidate for the Presidency, and remarks
in so doing:
Reviewing thus the history Of the past
wears. nothing IS lett Us but to cut loose de-
c.uculy and forever from Lincoln and ms
pollcy, and to protest against his rc-ciectioh
under al circumstances and ut any price.
No reasons VI expeu.ency can Influence US

slbnty, IL a Democratic candidate Is elected.
IN. 81. joseph Ioiksttatt, heretofore the
only German L,ncoln paper left in Missouri,
now says:
81 .ong as We believed it to be possible
to have another candidate than Lincoln
nominated III Baltimore, we have taken care
20 connect no maine WITH the next Presiden-
CIV, 10 declare our choice Tor no particular
candidate. But the possibility to nominate
some one else than Lincoln Is gone. Lbs
whole herd of officials will be there and rep.
resent an irresistible lobby influence. Then
influence extends already everywhere. OuI
own county convention, which was con.
,lolv,, by !. newly appointed Indian Super
lntcndcnt, altogether at his own pleasure, is
an example. All the legions Of officials have
been put in motion, and few OF them have
retained their political independence, in
spite of their federal appointment. We are
proud to be one OF these That the Balti
more convention should represent she true
opinion OF the radical people is not to be ex
pected Hence that convention is matter
Of perfect Indifference to us. Lincoln has
proved abundantly, during his first term
that he has not much backbone, and one
term of his rule ought to be sufficient
A second term we consider a dangerous
experiment under the present circumstances
which we are least Of all inclined to try
With Abraham. The time is past when the
devil could be vanquished by holy water
Amnesty proclamations will overthrow nc
radical rebellions. Hence, away with Lin
coin !!
The Springfield -Kissourian says:
Lincoln cannot receive the vote of the
radicals under any circumstances whatever
The idea of a radical voting for the butcher
OF republicanism in Mexico, or q man insti
tuting serfdom and peon slavery in the
United States, is preposterous.
The Boston Pioneer states that there are
only six German newspapers in the Union
which advocate the cause Of Mr.. Lincoln
while twenty-six have hoisted General Ere.
