You shall never, any of you, hear of inc again, unless it is in some way that shall show you how I Irate you." .A tall slight hod•, whose fine-featured face was now distorted by passion, stood with defiantly-folded arms in the great drawing room window of Witeh-hattipton Hall, and hurled these words at Sir Sir Lionel ;vas pacing the room in great and el: ident agitation. Lady .Emnia s.nt by the fireside, het• youngest child on her knees, the others gathered roandhar, aghast at their br 'ther's insolent and violent conduct. Sir Lionel approached the boy. Come with me," ho said. You are not, fit to remain in the same room with your mother and sisters. " Let they go, then. I will not, till I choose." Sir Lionel drew nearer; his fare was white, but resolute: the boy uncrossed his arms, a gleam of—another moment, and there would have been a struggle for mas tery. Just in time Lady Ana stood between them. In a voice more sad than severe, but that showed not the slightest doubt that she would be obeyed, she told the boy to leave the room immediately, and go to the library. She followed him, Emma sent the children all away, bidding them not go near their brother ; then she / went to her husband. Sir Lional had seat ed himself at the table, leaning his head upon his hands. Emma folded her arm round his neck, and murmured, 'God comfort yeti, my poor Lionel. What will become of bhp? Win:lt must we do with him ?" " What will bocome of him God only knows," answered Sir Lionel. Ho tried to rouse himself from his deep dejection. Pass ing his arm round his wife, ho added—"lt would be strange if our lot had not some flaw in it ; but it seems strange that this should be the flaw ; and how to act for the boy's good I . calmot tell. I must in some way havo failed and fallen far short of my duty towards him." " You could not help it," said Emma, timidly; "but towards him, it has seemed to me, that we have both acted from duty, and not love. Sometimes I .think ho feels this." " Yet Ana, who has such influence over him, does not love him." "I do not know," Emma answered thoughtfully. " I shall go now and find Ana's husband, and talk the matter over with him." "Perhaps if, when we leave, we could hiAve,him behind under their charge for a • • •" I have thought of that, Emina. But it does not seem to me right that we should lay our burdens on others ; we, ought to learn to bear them ourselves. And Ana, ever since old nurse's death,has seemed so weak and ill that she is not iit to beat.„ the shock of such scenes as that of to=day. Meanwhile Lady Ana had softly'.turncd the key upon young. Lionel, and had then, with a feeble faltering step, gone up to her own room.. . , She locke4 ieraelf in, and knelt by the RHEEM & WEAKLEY, Editors & Proprietors 41fustinl EFIE BY TIIEODO TILTOS From Illacknrood'A Edinburg Maymino. WITCH-HAMPTON HALL (cosci.o DEI)..) MIME (Trrt yea lairr.) window. Her face, as she knelt there, rais ing her eyes to the pale sky of the autumn afternoon, looked bloodless:and haggard. " The time has come I" she "moaned—"the time has come I Now God be pitiful to him, my only beloved, my husband. Oh, my great one, my strong one, my true one, —ybu who so believe in the saving pow er of love—little you thought how your words—from which, since you spoke them, I have had no rest—'lf you could love him, Ana, your love might save him, for some fascination draws him towards you r —little you thought how those words would open a grave in my heart, which, after letting out a long-buried lie, which close again over all the joy and light and life of life. My love might save him I The time is come when I must try. Yet oh, a little longer, a little longer ; the years of your love, my husband, have been as days, and now the days of my life will be as years, so long and weary. A little loAger—love me a little longer before I luse yoSr love for ever. Yet why lose it ? Shall I not be less unworthy of your love— a little less unworthy ? Ah, but he has not known me, and now he must. My husband, my husband, oh, how I love you I oh, how I pity— oh, how I would spare you! And God, He loves you more and better ; He pities you, and Ile can spare you." In her agony she pushed open the case ment, leading out for air. She saw her hus band below, walking up and down with Sir Lionel. At the noise of her window ho looked up and was startled at her face. A moment, and she heard his step upon the stair, and the his hand upon the lock. She opened the door to him : when he had elos,.d it she throw herself upon his breast, her arms filing wildly round his neck ; strain ing- her-cif iigainst him, she wept as one who weeps very life away. My own dearest love, my darling one,'' he murmured, making vain efforts to soothe her. "What is it? are more ill, more weak to-day. But what is this sad trouble?'' "I am ill, very ill 'and. weak," she sobbed ; 'and you—you are going from me." ‘i For two days, love, be said, with a ten der smile. But if you are not better, I will not leave you for two hours. You have been shaken by the seem. with that miserable boy. Lionel lies been telling me. Calm yourself; I will not leave till you are better," " I shall never be better till I am dead;" she cried. And yet lam growing better —it is the growing better- that kills me.— Kiss me, husband, hold me closer—love me, love me. One moment more. Now, leave me, dear love—l will grow calm. I shall grow so soonest left alone." She drew herself out of his arms, and ,looked into his face. Then suddely she fell ran his breast again crying, "My heart is breaking. Oh, husband, don't you feel it breaking ? Oh, how I love —how I love you! Remember how I love you—never forget how I love you," " I shall not leave you to-morrow, Ana,'' he said, in gravest, tenderest concern ; "it is no duty that calls me. Indeed, poor child, I will not leave you." We will :4‘c," she said, '•it is a long time till to-morrow. Who can, tell what will happen ? Now go down to poor Lionel. I will come down soon." But when he turned to obey her she called him hack, and again she strained him in her arnie as if, indeed, they were about, to part for ever. ]le left her reluctantly. greatly troubled at her state. A few months since, about the time her old nurse died, a change'had come over Lady Ana—a namelesc illness, a troub le inure of mind than of the body, but telling surely upon her physical condition. During the last ten years of her life, Lady Ana had been conscious that the dreadful secret at her heart grew ever heavier. In those ten years—her husband, her one con stant companion, she working for and with him—her life had been struggling upwards towards a higher standard of truth and love. Now, since the old nurse died, she had borne her burden all alone—all things com bined to make its weight intolerable. No living creature shared her knowledge of the truth of her buy's parentage : this isolation of hers had in it something which she felt to be frightful. The condemnation to perpet ual silence roused in he r a wild, a mad de sire to proclaim her sin, ay, upon the house tops. She would have done it had not love, her love for him, her husband, restrained her. Not many days before her nurse had died, she had learned to be certain that the man who had so deeply wronged' her was dead— had died a violent and a miserable death.— Since that ho was not for bar so much the man who hod foully wronged her as the who had once loved her, though in a wild and savage fashion; towards whom she had not been blameless, and whom she had in her heart cursed and hated. “Curses come home to roost ;" she was taught the truth of the homely saying. The weight of her own hate, the blightof her own curse, come back upon her, blighting her own love, burden ing her own burden. When she looked upon her son now—her son whom she ha 4 planted as a thorn to fes ter in the flesh of those she loved, who seem ed to live among the gentle flock of his re puted brothers and sisters, like a wolf, in whom the wolf-nature has been restrained but not subdued, among lambs—herson who, inAls unmanly boyhood, seemed to scorn the the gentleness of her ho called "mother," to writhe under and revolt against the calm justice of him he called father, while, as if by some fated fascination, he appeared drawn towards her ho had been taught to name as aunt—it was with remorse rather than loath ing, and with an awakening consciousness that by love paid the son, 'by *less and : pain - suffered for him, shd, might expiate her crime of hato towards the father.: Aiplate her crime of hate—was theta orimo there( anything in the teaching off?ti pa we profess to follow, that ofirer,i : the slightest jastifieation of hate in nzaa ormontenander extremest wrong?

Nothing from without now threatened Lady Ana's tranquillity. No sword of Damocles, that one day must fall from force of fate, and, falling, would sever her from all that made life dear, now hung over her head : since it had been thus, the inward straining towards truth that at times seemed all but strong e nough.to expel all falsehood from her life, oven against her will, seemed to be tearing that life up by the roots. Why was it now thus with her? she often questioned. For long years her love had strengthened her to hold her secret, and to live a lie. Did she love less now ? Was this why she felt that not even for his sake could she bear on long! er ? Or was it that love being truth, and her love having grown and strengthened in those years, left now no room in her life for any thing that was false? However this might be, the fact was, that since all cried peace and oblivion, she knew no moment's peace or forgetfulness ; she learnt to dread sleep and her own fevered dreams. The inward impulse, to be wholly true to him she loved, contradicted by the love that feared the truth for what it loved, seemed to be tearing her heartshred byshred. All good she gained, all knowledge, all ex perience, weighted the lie she bore. All things worked together to show her the evil of the thing she had done, and how it turn ed to the harm of those she loved. Whe she had hated her innocent child, she had grudged it the good she!did it, giving it such a father and mothei : •;" now sho under stood how, even to him, what she had done had been not good, but evil. Young Lionel being home from school— sent home disgraced—had come with the others on a visit to the Hall. To the very depths Lady Ana had felt her soul stirred with pity as she saw how the proud boy held himself aloof, felt himself unloved and alone. She had felt too, that to which no one else' had been blind—her own power over him. Then those words her husband had spoken. that if she could love, she might save the boy l But her husband—he held her as a flaw less gem, en unspotted pearl of truth, on whose pure candor the finest speck of the falseness of the world would show out black and ugly. How could she so open his eyes , as not to blind him to the beauty and joy_oi' life for ever after ? It was not now what she had hidden, so much as the fact that sh.e had hidden it through those long years of his love, that seemed to her the more dreadful part of that which he should have to learn and she to tell. In the minutes that elapsed between the time of her husband's leaving her and the time When she softly quitted her room, went down the stairs, and paused at the door of the library, into which - she had locked the boy, Lady Ana suffered, God only can tell how much.. Pausing to try and realise such suffering, with what gratitude the sick heart turns to the remembrance of the finiteness of human power, the limit and boundedness that so safely hem us in, limiting and bound ing the power of one poor heart to suffer. The dusk seemed already to have gathered in the corners of the dark old room when Lady Ana entered the library. She paused, looked round, and thought the room was empty ; one of the Windows stood open. Young Lionel was light and agile; a spring from that window, a branch of the great beech clutched, a swing to the ground was easy enough. Lady Ana, in her wild girl hood, had often thus escaped when shut in there by nurse for bomcchildish naughtiness. Who shall say what passion leapt up and fought in that poor woman's half-distracted mind, as the idea flashed across it that if the boy had escaped, were gone as he had threat ened, speech would not a vail for him, anti silence might still for all be best? She ems not long left in doubt. She heard a stifled s'd); there, on the ground, his face hidden in his hands, Iffy the young creature whom all thought too hardened in sullen evil-mind edness to shed a Cettr. Lady Ana went to where he lay. Kneel ing down beside him, she laid a trembling hand upon his shoulder, and softly, fearfully breathed out, "My son !" and at the breath ing of those words something consciously a woke within her—and—she—loved him. Softly as those words were spoken, they sounded in her ear as the crash of doom. Young Lionel raised himself to lean upon his elbows ; he looked 11 , r in the face with startled wonder, and said-- "Why do you call me that? I wish I were your son I If you were my mother, every thing would bo different." She sank upon the floor beside him, tremb ling so that she could not even kneel. "Why do you come to me and speak to me like that?" he continued. 'Why do you Come to me and look at me like that? You hate me worse than they do." "I do not hate you," she said. "If you will let me, I will love you !" "If I will letyou! You know, you know," ho cried, "that I want you to love me; but you won't, you nan't, Sometimes I see you look as if you wore trying, and then—then the look comes that shows me how you hate me—worse than the others do, a hundied times. Aunt Ana, I have felt you look at me as if I were loallisonze to you. I have felt that, and I can't forget it I" "My poor boy ! learn to forgotit now, and lot me love you." "You, are sorry for me?" ,ho asked, after an eager reading of her face. "You look sorry about something. Is it about me?" "We all . are sorry for yon ; nobody hates you : it is your morbid fancy." "Are y'ou sorry for me, I ask ? 'They all aro ;' oh, of course., I know what that means: they are all sorry for mejust as they aro sorry if a worm is. trodddd upon or a snail crushed. 'They do not hate mo oh, I know what that means too, quitowell they are so good; so , Christian, they cannot hate!

Even on the way to execution a ray of hope will sometimes play about the path of the condemned, and make it seem less unlikely that some sign in the heavens or convulsion of the earth shall al ter the face of the worldrthan that beneath an'Unregarding heaven all shall go on to wazds the appointed doom. "Are you ill?" the boy asked, when she dknot speak or stir. "I heard them say yoil looked as if you had not long to live, and I did not mean to live after you." Her head slipped from his shoulder as he moved to try and see her face; she moaned a little, then lay quite still upon the ground. He spoke to her; she did not answer; he took her hand up, and it fell powerless when he loft hold of it. Ho bent over her dead ly-white and sunken-looking face. "Dead!" he cried, and for a moment. his 3Oung life seemed to stand still. When he sprang to his feet. Taught ten derness by fear or other emotion, he brought a pillow and put beneath her head ; he got water and sprinkled over her face, he chafed and kissed her hands. Most jealously he abstained from calling any one. When he found that she gave no sign of .ecmsciousness or life, he stretched himself heap) her, laying his face upon her hand. Lady Ana's husband had been seeking her anxiously; presently he came into the room. "Axe you here, love?" At his entrance, young Lionel looked up, but did not rise. "She's here," he said, with sullen sorrow. "Good heavens! what does this mean ? Boy, why did not you call for help? Your aunt has fainted. How long since?" e'Not long. I didn't call help, because I - didot choose that any one should come. I did\vhet I coulcl---" s.ound of voices, just as her husband was...kneeling at her side, Lady Ana roused hersalf. She put an arm around the boy's neck, raising herself to lean against him. _ "Poor boy ! I have been ill. I frightened you. Poor boy—how white you look she said. Then to her husband--"Ile has been very good to me, husband." Turning again to young Lionel, she kissed him, and mur mured—"Go away now, my boy, and leave me alone with my liusdand; I have some thing to tell him. Go to your own room till I come to you, and remember that I love you." "Bat-you will boill again —you will die —you will leave me, and not speak to me again.' ' "It won't be so," she answered. "Go now." He rose. As ho stood proudly erect, gaz ing down upon her, a wonderful softness was over all his fine fierce face. Her husband looked at him with wonder. At the door he turned, again gazed at her a long, strange gaze, which she met with eyes of love —yet not a-mother's love for a child, so much as a martyr's love for the cause for which she dies. The doer closed ; she moaned and chop ped filer head into her hands. Hbr litlaband, with soothing words and tenderest caresses, strove to raise her from the ground. "S:and up," she said, writhing herself free from his arms. "My lord, my judge, my king,. whom I dare no more call husband, stand up, and do not touch me. Stand up and leave me here. Stand up and judge ME Then in broken sentences, passionately self-reproachful, abjectly humble for all the pent-up penitence of. years burst forth, and she felt her shame, her guilt, her false lwod,loverwholmingly—she made her con fession, When she had ended—when, str ug - - glingnp on to her feeble knees, she bad raised her strained starting oyes and her cleul:10d clasped bands to him a moment :itho fell forward on her face, feeling for his feet with her failing arms.

Then ho staggered, heeled as under a heavy blow— felt MY things become as nothing—all lifo grow black and void. Ho, as Stunned. Without losing physi cal rio"wer . (though he had staggered back a little fi•em tlie spot whore he had stood when her first words ,rooted him to the ground, ho was still erect), ho appeared to lose men tal consciousness.

He lived a lifetitne, past, present, and fu ture, while she lay there motionless; await ing her sentence. How long she was left to lie there she never knew; it could not have been long, for the room had seemed dusky when she had first entered it, and when all was over it was not yet quite dark. She had not fainted again; with all the power left her she strove to keep her senses alight to read her sentence. "Ana" At that low sound she stirred a little, lifted her fees, and looked up towards his, drawing herself a little farther from him as she did so. She tasted her punishment, reading the changed lines of his beloved face, hearing the altered broken tone of his voice, as he said— "How must my love have failed and fall en short, not teaching you to trust me I" As he spoke he tried to raise her; but she, resisting him, answered— "lt is not no; you are wholly blameless— you are wholly spotless, and all the fault is mine." "Not all. Your old nurse—she deceived you as well as me that she had told all. God forgive her I For the years after you kept silence for my sake, and now it is for the sake of others that at last you speak. All are dead who could have told ma—all, you say- every one ?" "All—every one. Very few need know. You will tell Emma and Sir Lionel, and they, Heaven blesi them! will try to com fort you. I will take my boy and go with him where you shall think best. Always you will be my lord and master, though no more my husband; and you—you will try and forget me. And oh, God comfort you! God comfort you!" She broke into a pas sion of heart-wasting weeping, creeping a little nearer to fold her hands around his feet. But when he spoke she stilled herself to listen. • " Forget you. Ana l" he said. " I have loved you long enough for love to have worked into the very fibres of my 'ife. I have loved you, not knowing—now I know. That is the change in me; and now, how are you changed from the being I hat. - o loved ? God has worked in you mercifully through love, strengthening you through love, giving you sight through Igve. Is it now, when you are more love-worthy, when love has strengthened you to throw off a lie and live for duty in the truth—is it now that I shall dare to east you off, you whom He is so man ifestly saving nay love, shall I cast off, and call unworthy of my love ? Wife, Ido not any that the cup has not been bitter, bitter beyond all word or thought; butl feel that in these minutes, or these hours, I have drunk it to the dregs. It will not work a poison-death to love. Ido not say that life can never again be fur me what it has been, ,can ever ho fur us what I had hoped—the light of life is blurred, and the hitter taste of the cup dwells in the mouth. I look on and see much trial ; our lives will be salted as with tire; but what matter if we come forth purified?" He paused a little and bent over her---- Love, my love, come to my arms.— Every moment that you lie there you re proach my love and grieve my heart and make me feel myself a Pharisee; you called me lord and judge, hut He has judged you, and, working in you through love, has so far pardoned you that He sets your feet in a straight path—thorny it may be,.-but stupor plexed." She let him raise her now ; but as her head fell back against her breast a great fear shud dered through him, lest the strained thread of life had cracked. It was not so. Lady Ana lived—a life which henceforth was love. If hatred and fierce evil passion may be expiated by love--a love, too. which knew more of the anxious grief and fiery trial of love than of its joy and peace—then:Lady Ana in the years that followed must, by love paid to her son, have expiated that sin of hate against his father. Young Lionel loved his mother ; but at first with love so fierce and jealous that it threatened speedily to wear her heart out.— It was by very slow degrees that his love grow tame enough to be a softening influence of his own life, and not to be barrier stand ing between him and his mother's husband. Lionel Winterhouso (ho kept his uncle's name) did not grow into a noble, a great, or pre-eminently good man. It seemed as if be might have been groat in wickedness, but as if, striving towards good, his fierce tem perament and wild passions made his life so much one battle to resist evil, ono continual effort and struggle, that in this was expend ed to exhaustion all his energy- Ho was, looked Ort from without, & sad life•—an ranch endeavour, so little achievement (as the world judged)-4o much labour and pain, so little result. But who shall 65y it was in truth and in the eyes of the angels, one half as sad as many a life of far more, success? If ever, though even by little, he continued to be victor in the warfare against evil, if within him the flame of u spiritual life, though often burning low, was yet never ex tinguished, who shall say that the years by which Lady Ana's life was shortened through the wear of the incessant watch she felt forced to keep were too dear a price to pay for the saving of a soul? Her husband, giving her from as true arms and heart as over held and loved a woman, did not grudge the sacrifice.

BOORS AND BUFFOONS The Richmond Examiner, it is known, illw lit to announce the nstmination of Lin coln and Johnson in the following chivalrous terms : "The Convention of Black Republicans in Baltimore have renominated for President of their country Abraham Lincoln, the Il linois rail-splitter, and fbr Vice-President Andrew Johnson, known in the west as thl Tennessee traitor, one of the meanest of that craft; whether they quill everfie elected or not depends upon the Confederate army al. together. The people of the enemy's country have now two Black .Republican 'tickets' before them ; and the Democrats are to come yet. All these several movements we aropbliged to watch, and if possible, understand—by reason of theif• possible effects upon the war; otherwise wo have no earthly interest in the matter, and if we were now at peace with that nation it woullPloo altogether indiffer ent to us what ape, or hyena or jackass they set up to govern them." In the same spirit, and in not dissimilar terms, our Copperhead neighbor commented on tho nomination as follows: " The only merit we can discover in this Baltimore ticket is the merit of consistency; it is all of a piece ; the tail does not shame the head, nor the heal shame the tail. A rail-splitting bufon and boorish tailor, both from the backwoods, both growing up in uncouth ignorance, they would ailorl a gro tesque subject for a satiric poet," sac., &. This language seemed to us at once un seemly and unwise, and we rebuffed it ac cordingly. We did not, as is now alleged, assert that Messrs. Lincoln and Johnson were,assailed because they had formerly been employed in two of the humbler departments of manual labor, but we urged that Simon Snyder had been - rendered the idiol of Penn sylavartia by just such wretched flings, and that "The facts that Abraham Lincoln rose from rail splitting to the Presidency, and that Andrew Johnson, an illiterate and pen niless nobody, one of the 'poor white trash' so generally kept under in the South, fought his way up through the Legislature, House, and Governship of his adopted State, to the U. S. Senate, art! eloquent - tributes alike to to the character inst7tections and the personal worth of these men." Hereupon we find ourselves accused by, our Copperhead neighbor of fal.:ehood, though we cannot discover wherein. We quoted fully and fairly the language to which wo demurred. and briefly indicated wherein we deemed it untit. But we will let the assail ant amend his plea to meet the exigencies of the case. Ho now says: ''The whole ground of attack was that these nominees were not statesmen; that they had risen to eminence from early pov erty, which s. far v a creditable to their en ergy; hut that, unlike many another poor man, who in the short annals of this coun try has risen from obscurity to attain the highest offices in the gift of a free people, they had not enlarged their minds, had not strengthened their understandings, but remained to-day what they were in the beginning—the one a rinfloon and the other a boor.- Let 115 sec how this statement accords with recorded facts, and w:th the genius of Ameri can institutions: Abraham Lincoln. 'born fifty-five y..ars ago of very poor parerts in slaveholding Kentucky, reared in a lag cabin in the wil derness, which then all but covered southern Indiana, losing his mother at ten years of age, and receiving but very little education in the rule and scanty log schoolhouses of hie boyhood's days, joined a volunteer mili tia company in the Black Hawk war of 1832, and was (at 23 years of age) elected its car taio. Ile soon afterward studied surveying, and became proficient and useful therein, and at 25 years of age chosen to the Legislature of Illinois from its metropolitan county, having once already been a candidate and re ceived 277 of the 281 votes east at the pre cinct where he resided and was thorougly known. He now commenced the study of the law ; and in 1537, when 23 years old, was admitted to practice, and immediately taken into partnership by the Lion John T.

At this time Mr. Lincoln was struggling against the popular current in his State, as t elerally in the nation. When he first en tered upon political life, Illinois was and ever had been strongly democratic and de voted to Gen. Jackson, yet he proclaimed himself a Whig and an intense admirer of Henry Clay. No ono could have taken that side without expecting to generally in a minority. Is that the course likely to Com mend itself to a vulgar boor and buffoon, ambitious (as Mr. Lincoln clearly was) of political success and eminence? NO, 35. In 1849 the Whig minority of the Legis lature of Illinois cast their votes for Mr. Lincoln as tr. S. Senator, while many able and honored champions of their, faith would have been proud of the honor. 1854 there was a breaking up of'old parties. Many Democrats were shaken loose from their moorings by the passage of the Nebraska bill. The Legislature of Illinois then chosen, showed for the first time an Op position majority. A U. S. Senator was then to be elected in place of Gen. Shields, a Nebraska Donwerat. Spontaneously and without hesitation, the great mass of the Anti-Nebraska members designated Abra ham Lincoln as their first choice for the proud position. On balloting, however, it iviiifound that four or five Anti-Nebraska Deillocrats would not vote for one whotti they had hitherto .opposed as a Whig.:=-- Thereupon, by Mi. Lincoln's urgent advieei, the nine-tenths dropped the man 'of their choice and went over to the one-tenth, 'elee ting Mr. Trumbuil„ an Anti-Nebraska Dem ocrat. This was at once generous and wise. In 1358 Mr. Douglas' first term drew to a close. The Legislature then to be chosen must elect his successor. 'The Republican party had now become consolidated and ho mogeneous—in good part, through the una nimity of Mr. Lincoln and,his friends in 1854 —5. A State Convention assembled in the spring, and, without one dissenting voice, nominated Mr. Lincoln as their candidate. They did this in full view of the fact that he must expect to meet and grapple with Stephen -A. Douglas, one of the very best popular de baters of any age or country. If they had supposed they had a more deserving or bet ter man for the work than Lincoln, they would doubtless have nominated that man. In the contest that folloived, it is well known that our sympathies were not on tho side of Mr. Lincoln. That is to say ; regard ing men as of no account in comparison with ideas, we thought, , the Republicans of Illi nois should have supported Mr. Douglas, in acknowledgement of the greatservice he had just rendered to the cause of Pdblic Liberty in defeating the Lecompton bill. We ilflVo never been driven from this position, though we can easily realize that the fierce antago nisms engendered by twrnty years of fierce and often abusive party warfare could not readily be effaced Suffice it, that issue was joined, and the canvass between Messrs. Lin , coin and Douglas that ensued was ono of the ablest, the most lucid, the niost instructive, ever known. It was an honor to our country and to re publican institutions. We think Mr. Lin coln had much the stronger and juster posi tion; but on this point opinions will differ, while on that of the talent, felicity, ingenu ity and general good temper evinced by Dith er disputant, we see not bow there can be two opinions. In the event, Mr. Douglas with re-elected, but Mr. Lincoln received the lar ger popular vote. And it was the very first instance of such a preponderance on that sido in an Illinois canvass. In 186) Mr. Lincoln was invited to speak for the Republican cause in this City, and his speech was much the most cogent, felici tous, convincing defense of our main posi tion ever uttered in Cooper Institute. Tens of thousands of it were circulitted and admir ingly read, and it doubtless powerfully con duced to his nominationfor President at Chi cago some two months afterward—a nomi nation triumphantly ratified by the Electd ral Vote. —"Well. all this don't prove Mr. Lincoln the fittest man for President." —Certainly not. The matter will come up in its order. But does it not show the utter absurdity of all the wretched babble of The Richmond Examiner and its Northern imi tators! Mr. Lincoln, if you will, is not a hero—not a genius—not a man of the very highest order of intellect. lle has made mis takes as President, some of which it is quite possible that another might have avoided.-- But is the God-forsaken traitor who reviles him as an ape, a hyena, or a jackass, one whit more absurd than the feeble Northern imitator who prates of him as "a rail-split ting buffoon," who has "grown up in ignor ance," &c., 'to. If that is a true character ization of ono who has stood such tests, over come such impediments, and achieved such successes as Abraham Lincoln, then the de mocracy based on popular suffrage is an im pudent fraud--a stupendous hoax—and we ought at once to burn our constitutions, close our school-houses, prohibit'all future elec tions, and di3patch a deputation of notables to Louis Napoleon to bog hint to send us an Emperor.
