Lincoln's Old Rail-mauling Partner. We find the following interesting letter from John Hanks—Lincoln's early partner in the rail-splitting business in the Decatur Chronicle. Hanks is an honest old Jackson democratic farmer, who shared with the nest President the privations and hardships of pioneer life in 'lllinois, before the days. of railroads and canals. His letter is a plain, unvarnished statement, that will find a response in the breasts of hundreds of old democratic farmers of the pioneer times,: Editor of the Decatur Chronicle : J Dear sir—The following iterKiTieared in the Columbus Statesman a felfr days ago, which I take from the Coles County • Led. ger " HANKS AGAINST LINCOLN." We were informed a day or two ago by a delegate to the Baltimore Convention, who called at our office, that John Hanks, the man who assisted Abe Lincoln to make those rails about which the Republicans are mak ing such asterrible hubbub, has announced himself opposed to the election of Lincoln. Hanks, who has never been a democrat, is against the Republican nominee because he knows Lincoln to be a humbug and nothing else. Hurrah for Hanks I" . Ti? this article I desire briefly, to rep)y.— If my choice for President, or bow I shall vote as between the candidates for that of fice, is worth considering:at all, I claim it as a simple right to be correctly represented. I am but a farmer, and regret to say not an educated one. I have never been a candi date for any office, nor do I expect to be; whilst I can with truthfulness say this, yet I have never been a negative man in poli tics. From my boyhood I have been a con• stunt voter with the democratic party in all essential elections ; I have thought that par ty to be upright and straight-forward in all the principles it has really adopted. So late as 1858 I meted for Mr. Douglas and against my old friend Lincoln. For forty years I have looked upon the party with pride and hailed its success with pleasure; but as Mr. Douglas made a speech in Deca tur in 1858, and in my hearing spoke so pleasantly and so honorably of the old Whig party and of Mr. Clay, its leader, after hav ing for fifteen years, in discussing general politics, when I used to love to listen to him so well, spoke so complainingly and so abu sively of that party and of Ar. Clay, clam ing upon it and him many bad and mean things, until listening to him I learned to look upon both as dangerous and full of evil. The thought struck me that for the fit Lure I would never judge of a party or its leaders by what an opponent might say, and this conclusion I mean to follow the balance of my life. How foolish it is to abuse — a -- party because my friend may do so, and then praise the same party because that friend may change and do so • he may be designing-,I would, in all probability, be a dupe. Ever since Mr. Douglas made that speech in 1855, he has been abusing the Republicans just like he used to.abuse the old Whigs. lam tired of this kind of war fare; I think it is not right to do so, and as Mr. Douglas further said in that speech that he was in the habit of sometimes changing his polities. I did not know but that it was about time for him to begin to excuse and cease to abuse the Republicans, and made up my mind to let 'him go in time. Now, as to entirely changing my politics, I cannot say naive done this, but for the life of me I can see nothing in the Repub lican party that any honest democrat can seriously oppose. It is true, were they such a party as Mr. Douglas used to say they were, I could see objectionacld features about it; but then is it wise to believe every thing Mr. Douglas has said, when he tells us lie sometimes changes, and when we'have near us honest Men known to be purely honest for more than,thirty years, who deny all this, and propose to tell us the true state of the case and to give us the true princi ples of that patty ? I think not. Besides this, when we have for.years been opposed, in politics, to a man who has again and again seen his party defeated, and has him- , self sometimes failed, and still seen ',that man,true to his colors, re-arming, end re• entering the field to try to uphold and, sue. cessfully plant his colors upon the side of victory, when all the time we knew ho had but to change once to win, 'and has never changed, I think I may say never faltered, how are, we to respect him ? Such a man I have known Mr. Lincoln for thirty years to be. In boyhood days wo toiled togeth4; Many are the days; we, ugged the heavy . oar on the Ohio, the Illinois and the Mississippi rivers together; nithiy are th'e' long cold days we have journeyed over -the wild prairies and through the fbrest with gun and eke; and though it is not pleasant to refer back to it, well do I remember When 'we -set out together in the cold winter to cut and maul rails on the Sangamon river, in Macon coun ty, thirty years ago, to enclose his father's little home, and from day to day kept at work until the whole was finiehed and the homestead fenced in ; we often swapped work in this way, end yet during the many years we were connected together as labor ers, sometimes flat-boating, sometimes hog driving, sometimes rail making, and too, when it was nearly impossible to get books, he was a constant reader ; I was a listener; he settled all disputes of all the young men in the neighborhood, and his decisions were always abided by. I never knew a man so honest under all circumstances; for his whole life. • Thus associated with Mr. Lincoln, I learn ed to love him, and when in 1858 he was a candidate, for the first time within my reach, against my feelings, and I may say against my convictions, my old party ties induced me to vote "for Mr. Douglas; my democratic friends all declared Lincoln was an abolitionist; I heard him make a speech in Decatur just before the election and I could see nothing bad in it; but *I was told by the party ho was wrong; I could not Hoe how ho could ne, but they said so, and I was a democrat and went it. My wife used to say to me that some day Abe would come out and be not I thought so too, but I could not exactly see how a man in the lower walks of life, - a day laborer, and hopelessly poor, would ever stand much chance to get - up_'very high in the . world; at last, one day at home, we heard that the Republican State Conven tion'was to be held at Decatur, and that they were going . for Abe for President.— As soon as I found this out, I wont into town and told a friend of Abe's that as great and honest merit was at last to be awarded in the person of my friend Mr. Lincoln, by . the Republican party, I thought of the hard and trying struggles of his early days, and recollecting the rails we had made together thirty years ago, made up my mind to pre sent some of them to that Convention as a testimonial of the beginning orone of the greatest living men of the ago, believing they would speak more in his praise than any orator could, and honor traelabor more than the praise of men or the iesolutions of conventions. On our way to get the rails, I told this friend of old Abe that if Abe should be nominatel for President I would vote for him; everybcdy knows what he:hai. been, and I rejoice that I livo to give this testimony to his goodness and honesty, and hope I shall live to vote for him for Presi dent of the United States next November. Is there any wrong in this ? Who ought to refuse to vote for as good and as great a man as he is. I know that in voting for him.l vote with the Republican party, and will be considered as adopting its prinoiplee; as linow understand them 1 see no good reason why I may not do so; our own party is divided; and we have no Solomon to tell who shall take the child: Slavery has divided ilio democratic par ty; nobody can blame Republicanism for the destruction that came upon us at Charles ton' slavery has disunited us—it has united the Republican party ; if there is any good about the muestion, they, have it all, and we have the trouble. If. I understand Mr Douglas now, he occupies a position:on this question just as distasteful to the South as Mr. Lincoln does—with this clear d:ffor ence : the Sonth seem to understand Mr. Lincoln's position better than his, and to re spect it a good deal more, and I am convinc ed if Mr. Douglas does not reflect the nig ger he does the mulatto, and one brings just as much in Mobile alba other, and stands as high in the market.' Many of ray democratic neighbors will say I have done wrong, but I knOw there are many who would do' as .1. luiVe !done, were it not they do notifeel willing to break away from party ties and to •:encounter " the talk" of old friends. As long as I have " Old Abe" to lead me I know, shall never go very far from right, Should he be elected President and find any trouble in : steering his new boat, he has only to remem ber, how he used to get out of hard places by rowing straight ahead and never by mak ing short turns. The tallest.,oaks the• forest have fallen by his, giant arm; .he still wields a tremendous maul; out of the larg est timber ho can make the smellest rails; I have seen him try a tough cut and fail' once; the second trial he never failed to use it up. Though not a very beautiful symbol of honesty, I think the rail a fitting one, and mean to present Abe with one of his own make 'should ho be elected, in the city of Washington, on the day of his inaugu , ration, to be kept in the White House dur ing his administration. INTERESTING ,RELlC.—There, is. now• in the library at West Point, folded around the likeness of Gen. Scott, the identical flag which was first hoisted on the Rio Grande during the interview. of Generals Worth and La Vega, on the '2Bth of March, 1846, and which was again floatino• b from 'the Na tional Palace in the city ofMeXico, on the day when Gen. Worth turned over the city to La' Vega, and the U. S. forces finally evacuated the place. The coincidence is quite noteworthy that the same flag and.the. same general officers were-thus conspicuous in both the opening and closing of the war. The relic has therefore a threefold interest., and it is extremely gratifying that it is thus carefully preserved. • • • 'terWhy is the' world like a piano?
