Not a Selfish President.

The following tribute to the utter want
of selfshness on the part of the Presi-
dent as to who shall be his successor, we
find in an exchange We commend it
to those who feel an interest in deciding
who is to be the standard bearer Of the
Union party this year:
If ever there was President who did
not go out of the way to help or to de-
fend himself; if ever theirs vas a Presi-
dent who seemed to oppose, if not to dis
dain, the work of making proselytes for
himself, that man is Abraham Lincoln.
The enormous patronage of his Admin
istration has, in many cases, been left to
his constitutional advisers, and to chiefs
of his party who have not hestated to
bestow it upon their own fiiends. When
the President has stepped out of his self
selected orbit, it has either been to re-
lieve distress to reward former political
opponent now on the side of his country,
or to see that justice has been secured
to some one whose cause deserved and
demanded sympathy. AS a proof of
this, think am right in saying that, if
Mr. Chase sanctions the unjust attacks
upon the gentleman under whom he
holds place, it will require little talent at
figures to prove that the enormous
catalogue of officers (almost Blue

fusion of the contending elements at

And it is the height of absurdity to say
that the members of Congress, Senators

drama. You might as well say that

like Mr.. Lincoln, rest assured that he
will be overwhelmingly overthrown. And
the common enemy such man always

proof of this remark, let him read the
Copperhead papers of to day. Do they
assail anybody with half the virulence
they hurl at President Lincoln? Do they
rejoice over any recent political produe=
