fanacism-there Is nothing stable in such mon, and
they are merely noticeable exercising temporary in

HON. EDGAR cowAS PEyysYLyLNA.
mere Is much In the character and appearance OF
senator Cowan OF Pennsylvania, TO remind ene OF the
humor and honest fankness that were so remarkably
developed in Mr. Lincons character He is noted too
from his composition OF political charlatanry What he
believes to be right that he applies himself to perform
In the shortest quickest and most direct manner There
Is no equvocaton about him. no resort to trckery,
no fear TO assume responsibility. The mention
Of his name in connection with tke.y Governor
ship Of Pennsylsania II is clear has been with
out his sanction or authority. The proposition
Il to withdraw the nomination Of the popular
Clymer Immediately after the Philadelphia Convention
and substitute that OF Mr. Cowan While Efforts are
making draw from Mr. Cowan assent to such pro.
eeeding to get from him expression OF hs wishes
In the matter he carefully refrans from saying anything
Or doing anything that would mplcae him the
nent to unseat another man, saying that he viii
accept the nomination Clymer OF the way As

administration his nomination woud make the contest
In Philadelphia well defined as between the rela
1--WE popularity OF the radical schemes OF Congress
represented by General Geary the conservative policy
Of the President which Mr.. Cowan would represent.
As aspeaker hr Cowan has almost precisely the same
characteristic though, doubtless lacking much OF the
ability that justly Distinguished Mr.. Lincoln He
goes right at point IN blunt honest wav ana handles
bis subject frankly besprinkng his with
dote sufficiently TO enchain the attention OF his hearers
His origin is not dssimar to that Of his lustrous pro-
she backwoods educated himself and IS indebted simply
70 his eGergy, industry, perseverance and honesty
for the eminence he has attained.
DANIEL CLARK, HAMPSHIRE.
The illustration OF the republican side OF the Senate

looking man, hard, industrious and practical 10 his
