Hen. Schuyler Colfax delivered his adj
dress OIL Abraham Lincoln nj the town hall,
Wednesday evening. Though the weather
wss very unfavorable, the audience which
assembled was OF respectable size, and the
lecture was listened 10 with marked inter-
est and appreciation. The subject was one
upon which Mr.. Colfax is eminenlly quail
flied to speak, and his estimate of Lincoln,
formed during a long and intimate ac-
quaintance, with anecdotes Illustrative of
his remarkable character and noble life,
formed topic which could not fail TO awak-
| on hearty and frequent sympathetic re-
spouses from the audience. As a speaker,
Mr., Coliax, though not faultless in elocu-
ton, is no less pleasing in his manner than
plain, candid and lorcible in statement and
illustration.
