seem to try to. Weaskedi it, Qeaving ourself ont
of the question,) to name editor who had been
charged with bribery in the Caldwell election,
who defended the appointment of Crozer. Its
reply is very nearly all devoted to ourself, and
the balance to George W. Martin, whom we did
not refer to. We said the present editor of the
Junction Union had denounced the Caldwell cleo
tion from first to last, and had approved the ap-
pointment of Crozier. N. L. Prentis is the editor
of the UMnion, an did as we stated; furthermore,
he has not held q Government Office. The Tiib

up the periodieaa discussion Of Lncoln's Religious
belief. Those papers irrcst positive III their
statements, whose editors never saw Lincoln, nor
heard him give any expression of his belief.
This last discussion has been set going By anoth-
er urticle from Mr.. Hefndon a former law part
ner of Lineoln's, in which II is made to appear
that Lincoln was considerably on the InfdeI or

as much about it as large majority of those who
are pitehing in, wiIlyenture to express the be-
lief that Whatever Mr.. Heru,lon says alout it, is
strictly trne. He was the friend and companion
of Lincoln for years, and would have no interest
in misrepresenting him now. As business part
ners, they doubtless relieved their Office routine
by many a long and eofdential chat ON miscella-
neous subjects, in which they revealed to each
other their inmost thoughts and peculiar views
upOn the matters discussed. Licoln was close
reasoner, and not likely to blindIy swallow the
impositions and frauds invented by priests, and
given to the world the doings of God. But
however he may have regarded the manufactHr
ed religion which has for so long been kept in
the market, and in the makingof which the class
called priests have maintained an exclusive mo-
nopoly, Abraham Lincoln acted his religion.
Whether or not he believed the Bible, or in
Christ or in the doctrines of any Church, or pre-
tended to believe 50 if he could not reconcile it
to his reason, there were acts performed by Lin

power of mortal man to approach. And regard
less Of his belief, il is belief that if there
any in that happy place which men call Heaven
and whether the number he many or few Abraham
Lincoln is one of them. Therefore, We are not
worried about what his theological views may
have been on this earth.
