THE PREslDRNCY.-The New York Times
notes with satisfaction the spontaneous expires.
sions Of preference for President Lincoln for
the next term. now emanating from State Leg
ielatures, Union inventions and other bodies
representative Of the loyal people, because they
are tokens that there will be no exciting dis
ca eion-that there will be general recognl.
ton that the public interests require the con.
tinuance OF Mr.. Lincoln at the head Of affairs
The Times thinks that the same wise policy that
would forbid a man Of business in troublous
times to change his agent OF proved efficiency,
impels the loyal people of our country to con-
tinue President Lincoln in his responsible DO
sItion; and against the confirmed will Of the
people, politicians are powerless.
