Lhe Governor further declared his unuual- med opposition to and dissent from the resolution requiring the offices to be equal y o1Vlded between the two colors. This resolution was in direct opposition to one or the cardinal doctrines of the party, which repndiated all distinctions founded on race and color, and made the tests of merit and capacity to depend on moral and intellectual qualification.

LIT Us BE JUsT BEFORE WI ARE GEsERoUs.-To
such as have advocated the payment of a fur
ther sum by the nation to Mrs. Lincoln, who it
has been shown, had two years ago over Sl0o, 900
in property, we recommend the perusal of the
following extract from article in the Chicago
Tribune, calling attention to a charity fair to be
held in that city:


"There to-day hundreds of families in
Chicago who living in huts and novels, or
sitting in attic rooms, who taste bread only oc-
casionally, and to whom meat is almost an un-
known luxury These are the families of SOL
dies and their widows and orphans. These are
the families of the men who were crippled, or
who were disabled by disease, or who died on
the field or in the hospital. These people are
suffering for food. They have money to buy
fuel they have furniture bedding they
have no bread nor meat nor vegetables. The
mothers have pawned the last shawl and the
last dress to buy meal; the children have neither
shoes nor socks, nor winter clothing, beyond the
darned and patched rags they wear by night
and by day. When one falls sick, they have no
money to buy medicine or nourishment, but have
to wait until death relieves both the sick and the
we'll"


Surely, if there is money to be voted away
simple justice requires that it should be given to
suffering soldiers and families, and not to those
who already have enough to maintain themselves
in condition of comparative luxury. When
such state of things can exist in any portion
of our country it is time for the press to critcse
a system of taxation which falls upon the poor

close 10 the herald of brighter day, the latter

and vigor of early manhood ; the other has the
eneryated mien and querulous tones marking the

finding therein justification ample to sanctify
falsebood and error, such as would have given

tagonistic as are these opposing principles, yet
they are inseparable; one preceding and the
