Portrait ofLinco,n.

Senator JOHN Sheruan, of Ohio, made one
of his magnetic speeches in Sandusky last
week, to vast audience that inclined to
every word Of his oratory. In the midst of
his powerful augmentation, he threw off
personal sketch of Abraham Lincoln, which
will be recognized everywhere as life like.
~ know old ABS, and | tell you there is
not at this hour a m,re p,triotic, or t,per
man living than that man Abraham Lincoln.
Some say he is an imbecile; but he not only
held bis own in his debates with Douglas,
whose power is admitted, and whom con
sidered the ablest intellect in the United
States Senate. bat get little the better Of
him. He has been deliberate and slow, but
when he puts his foot down it is with the
determination and certainty with which our
Generals take their steps; like them when he
takes step, he never gives It up. This firm
old man is noble and kind hearted. he is a
child Of the people. uo "a him with story
of woe, and he will weep like child. This
man 30 condemned, works more hours thar
any other President that ever occupied the
chair. His solicitude for the public welfare
is never-ceas,ng. I differed from him a
farst myself. but at last felt and believed tha
he was right, and ( shall vote for this brave
true, patriotic and kind hearted man. Al
his faults and mistakes you have seen. Al
his virtues you can never know. His pa
thence in labor is wonderful. He works IA
harder than any man in Erie County. A

Who Can Vote.

Z We answer the question by quoting from
the Constitution Of Iowa, Art. II. Sec. l.,
as follows: f7
"Every while male citizen Of the United
States. of the ago of Twenty. One years,
who shall have been resident Of this State
six months next preceding the election,
and Of the county in which he claims his
vote, sixty days, shall be entitled to vote at
all elections which are now or hereafter
may be authorized by law
TA. several s<.tes have the right tn pre-.
scribe the length of time a citizen shall be
. resident before being entitled to vote Cor
President, and in Iowa. it is fixed as above
quoted. The same qualifications OF elector-
ship are required at Presidential elections
as at State and County elections. o
course, the three months men from Hin.
ois, Indiana, &C., cannot vote.
