The Presidents Messages and
Speeches.

A statement recently appeared in
newspaper in relation to Mr.. Lincoln's
messages and speeches Among other
things it was stated in the article that Mr..
Chase wrote the concluding paragraph in
the Emancipation Proclamation. Mr..
Wilkes intimates that Mr. Seward wrote
the Gettysburg speech of the President.
These statements have attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Lincoln, and l hear that he
pronounces them entirely erroneous
Every public document OF his, since he
became President, but one, be asserts, is
his own composition. That exception is
the address 10 the English clergymen
Mr.. Seward wrote it. The Gettysburg
speech was entirely Mr. Lincolns compo-
sition. The Proclamation, his friends
say, lie claims as his own also. His In
augural message was certainly amended
by Mr.. Seward, for the document as it was
sent off by the telegraph is now in this
city and Mr.. Stewards interlineations are
to be seen in the manuscript, or rather in
the printed copy, for the message was
first printed for the Presidents private
use, and, if my memory serves me, this
was done before he came to Washington.

that proclamation was issued too sOOn-dO
you know that? The public sentiment OF
the South had to be agitated up to the
point of preparation before the proclama-
ton could be issued. ! tell you that Old
Abe's heart was just as deeply involved in
tine desire to issue that proclamation as
Jim Lanes was. [Applause.l But sagac-
ity induced him to postpone the issuing of
that proclamation until it could be done
safely. And when he did issue it, it was
something like when the niger caught

him out the bird flew off crying" sca-a-a. :"
eyes, said the niger, sit was the mar
rowest escape you ever had" [Laughterl
We came near losing the balance OF power
in Congress by it.
CONCERNING INSTRUMENTATION
1t is asked what is to be done with the
negroes after they are freed. I have
asked myself if some of the politicians
who say that Mr.. Lincoln was not fast
enough with the emancipation proclama-
ton, would not like to have him issue a
proclamation declaring first, that the
negro is the superior of the white man,
and that every white man should take a
black wife, and every black man white
wife. Laughter l am the radical Of
radicals, but believe that the white man,
if he behaves himself, is the equal of the
niger. Let any political party write the
admxture of the two races en- their ban
ner, ard they will be crushed as by an az
alanche. No, the attempt to admix black
blood with ours is a crime against our
race. There were here some evidences of
disapprobation.l am responsible alone
of myself for what say; and, though l
think it very likely that that opinion will
not meet the appreciation of every one
here, believe that the mingling Of the
blood of the colored and the white races
will fail.
Voice" Would it hurt copperhead
to mix him?" Laughter and applause. ]
Mr. Lane-Well, they have been prac-
ticing it couple of hundred years. [Great
laughter
Mr.. Lane continued by advocating his
idea of building up separate country in
Texas for the negroes, and letting them all
live there by themselves, under protection
Of the United States.
DIVERSION IN FAVOR OF FREMONT.
Mr.. Lane went on to say that he would
support the nominee of the Baltimore
Convention, whoever it was. He had
heard the names of Chase, Fremont loud
cheeringl Butler, Fessenden, and others,
and to either, if he was the regular nomi-
nee, be would give hearty and energetic
support.
Three cheers we've called from the plat
form and given for Lane and Lincoln; and

Fremont was received with mingled cheers
and Kisses.

AN AMIABLE PROPOSITION OF THE REBELS.
The Richmond Wig, in discussing va
rious plans for annoying the Yankees, sug-
gests that it would be good thing to burn
their principal cities Was malice ever
more desperate or more impotent than
that OF these beaten rebels? Nothing
seems to he left OF their snaky nature but
the hiss:
We may not, it is true. be able to send
raiding party TO dash into Philadel phia or
New York to do the work: nor have we
artillery that will carry Greek fire far
enough to reach them-but we have that
which will go further than horsemen can
ride, and will penetrate what the mightiest
artillery would make no impression on
we have money. A million of dollars
would lay in ashes New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg, Wash
ington and all their chief cities, and the
men to do the business may be picked up
by the hundred in the streets of those very
cities. If it should be thought unsafe to
use them, there are daring men in Canada,
OF MOrganS anu Quiet commands, VINO
have escaped from Yankee dungeons, and
who would rejoice at an opportunity of do
ing something that would make all Yam
keedom howl with anguish and conster-
nation.
That what We are saying may be given
a still more practical turn, we will add
that We know and have talked with man
"a well known officer in the army, and
every way competent and fit-who is
ready and anxious at once to proceed to
Canada on this business. He knows the
risks he will encounter, but he is sure of
the results that will be achieved
We have addressed ourselves to the au-
thorities of the government, because we
feel not shadow of doubt that this
mode of warfare would, under the circum-
stances, be justifable, legitimate and
right. But should they reject the plan, as
we suppose they will, then we wish to re-
mind the public that the scheme can as
well be executed by private enterprise as
by the direction or c,nnivance OF the au-
thorities. Richmond, for whom such a
fate was designed, Charleston every day

Springs glorious skies and breathings bland .
Come they while war is in the land
Or have mans storms but Winters sway,
And with its tempests rolled away:
The sun breaks forth: its quickening ray.
Like Apll's, warns the lengthening day.
It's power shall soon be felt on earth.
Aud unto grass and flowers give birth.
The streams shall leap and frolic free,
The violet greet the early bee,
The rose will lift its dropping head
FROM oil its cool and NOISY bed.
Oh! welcome SPRING thy smile can cheer
The soul in seasons dark and drcar:
Thy Weakening winds new life impart,
That lifts the burden from the heart.

SPEECH OF JIM LANE.
At u LINCOLN mass meeting at Cooper
Institute, New York, on the Sd instant,
Mr. SPENCER, the chairman of the LINCOLN
Campaign Club, made few remarks on
the flans OF the club, and introduced Gen.
LANE, who was received with six cheers
SPEECH OF GENERAL JIM LANE
He commenced by thanking the au
dience for their kind reception. Probably
some OF them had heard of him; and if
they had they had heard also that he was
IN anti-slavery man. He referred to the
time when he first went to Washington at
the commencement of this rebellion. Some
men wanted to move the archives of the
government to Philadelphia some wanted
to recognize The South There was one
man calm and collected through it all
that man was Abraham Lincoln. Loud
cheering.
LANE'S DISGUST FOR THE SECRET CIRCULAR.
He met . gentleman in the cars the
other day who said to him that there were
Il considerable party OF politicians rather
against the election of Lincoln He had
replied that that politician, or set of poll
ticians, who seek to ihwart the will of the
people in the determined effort to elect
Abraham Lincoln President OF the United
States will fall as flat as if an elephant had
stepped on them [Great applause. They

him. daughter. How are you, Pome-
roy?"1 And so each and every one who
attempts TO raise his puny arm against
the determination of the people Of this
country, SO will he travel the same road.
TilE SOUTH MUST COME UNDER IINoOLN's
YOKE.
The speaker said it was the right OF
Lincoln to have four years of peaceful
reign, as he had had four years on the
rack. Our victory over the South was
not complete until they are compelled to
bow their proud heads beneath the yoke
of Abraham Lincoln. [Applause.l In
Kansas the people say, when they see a
man who is determined, "his eyes are
sot." laughter So the eyes of the
leople are set OH Lincoln. He thought
the South deserved the retributlon of Sc
cond term of Lincoln to compel the
wretches to live under his administration.
He liked tho way this war was being car
ried on now So far as he was concerned,
he was willing to make this war perma-
nent institution. [Cheers.] He referred
casually to Mr.. Seward, and said it was his
pleasure to say that in his opinion there
never was a government whose foreign af-
fairs had been managed so delicately, so
sagaciously and so successfully as the TO-
reign affairs under Old Abe and William
H. Seward. Three cheers for Seward. ]
FEW QUESTIONS OF ExPEDIENoY.
He referred to the charge against Mr..
Lincoln that he did not issue the proela-
nation emancipation soon enough. Why,
said Mr.. Lane, we lost the elections of
Ohio and Indiana, and came nigh losing
the balance of power in Congress because

Local Papers.
The Albany Journal is sound on the loo,

The Albany Journal is sound on the local
paper question. 1t says:
There is a vital defect in the prevalent
mode of conducting political campaigns. Or
dinarily, nothing direct is attempted until
within few weeks of the election. Then, the
State is flooded with campaign documents
eloctioneering hand bills and stump speakers.
They are serviceable, undoubtedly, in arous-
inc friends. but very seldom in converting en-
emies.
''To draw recruits from the opposition, some
thing besides the usual missiles Of a thirty
days campaign are necessary. Ihatw work re-
quires time and deliberation. Mems reason
should be appealed to seasonably, and not
merely during a heated canvass
''The most effectuaI mode Of doing this is
through the press. Men instinctively imhibe
the views which they find enforced in their
favorte paper. If there is, in their immediate
locality, a well conducted iournal-made in
teresting by its judicious selections, to the
alnily, rather tllan by its profound essays, to
the politician that's the agency which should
be employed. There is no way in which mon
ey can be 50 prohtably used as in sending such
a paper to every accessible household. And
if this work is commenced eight or ten months
in advance of an excited canvass, hundred
fold more good will be accomplished than by
any other process
"Our exhortation therefore, to our friends,
is-circuJate the t0caI papers, If others are
mixed i'll, where it is believed they would be
more acceptable, very well !; but no party can
be strong in any county which has not a well
conducted and widely circulated newspaper
within its own borders"
