''THE name of Hannibal Hamlin, -
says the Boston Transcript recalls
those medals issued during the CAM
paign of 1850. They contained ambro-
type portraits of the candidates On
most of them Mr.. Hamlin was given
such a swarthy complexion that per
haps these very medals confirmed the
belief in the lie industriously circu-
lated in the south that one of his par
ents was a mulatto and that he was
named in honor of the great Carthagin-
ian to blaZon his Africandescent before
the world. At all events thousands OF
people in the south actually believed
that Lincoln and a Niger were the
republican candidates"
