Bin k lied during n riotous Melee in the nighttime it a comp to nesting and one of his Nusso Cicitt s stated tent the death wound by Young Armstrong. A preliminary examination was gone into it which the a censer testified so positively that there seemed to doubt of the guilt of the prisoner and therefore he was held for trial. As is so often the Case the bloody net a Misc in undue degree of excitement in the pcs in mind every improper incident in the life of the act which bore the least semblance of each school boy suddenly remembered and i ignited until they pictured him As a fiend of the most horrible Hue. As these rumours spread abroad they were received is. Gospel truth and a feverish de sire for vengeance seized upon the infatuated populace whilst Only prison bars pre vented a horrible death at the hands of a mob. The eve its were heralded in the country in the highest coh ors accompanied by rejoicing Over the cer Teninty of punic tement being meted out to the guilty party the prisoner overwhelmed by the circumstances under which he found himself placed fell into n Melan Choly condition bordering on despair and the widowed Mother looking through her tears saw do cause for Hope from earthly nid. Fits juncture the widow received it letter from or. Lincoln volunteering Bis services to gave the youth from the impending stroke. Gladly was his Aid accepted although ii seemed impossible for even Bis sagacity to prevail in such n desperate Case but the heart of the attorney was in the work and he feet about it with it will that knew no such n word is fail. Feeling thai the poisoned condition of the Public mind was such us to preclude the possibility of Emp sneling an impartial jury m the court Boving jurisdiction be procured a change of venue and a postponement of the trial.

When trial was called on he prisoner Pata and Emu twi with hopelessness written on every Sentore and accompanied by Bis half half despairing to other whole Only Liujie was in a to others s belief of tier Sod s innocence and in the Justice of Fate god she worshipped and in the no ble counsel who without Hope of fee or Reward non Earth had undertaken Tho Bis seat in the prisoner s bos and with a Stony firmness listened to the Reading of the indictment. Lincoln quietly by whilst the Large auditory looked on him As though wondering what he could Tsay in defence whose guilt theuk regarded As certain. The examination of the witnesses Lor the state was began and a Well arranged Roo a of evidence Circum Stantial and positive was introduced which seemed to impale the pan Over beyond the possibility of extraction. The counsel for the defence propounded but few questions and those of a character which excited no uneasiness on the part of the merely in most Ansga requiring the main witnesses to be dts Ito As to the time and place. When the evidence of the prose cution was ended Lincoln introduced s few witnesses to remove some erroneous impressions in regard to the previous charac Ter of his client who though somewhat of a Rowdy bad never been known to commit a vicious act and to show that a greater degree of ill feeling existed Between the accuser and the accused than the accused and the deceased. The prosecutor Felt that the Case was Clear one and Bis opening speech was Brief and formal. Lincoln arose while a death by silence pervaded the vast audience and in a Clear and moderate tone began Bis argument slowly and carefully be reviewed the testimony pointing out the hitherto unobserved Deacre Pancea in statements of the principal witnesses. That w hich seemed Plain and plausible he made to a ear a crooked As a Serpent s path. The witness bad stated that the affix air at a certain hour in the evening and that y the Aid of the brightly shining Moon saw the prisoner inflict the death blow with a Sling Phot or. Lincoln showed that it the Hoar referred to. The Moon had not yet appeared above the horizon and consequently the whole bile was a Fabrica icon. I an almost instantaneous change seemed o a five been wrought in the minds of Bis auditors find the verdict hot was it the end of every Tongue. But the advocate wan not Content with this intellect Ual achievement. His whole being had or months been bound up in this work of gratitude and mercy and As the of be overcharged Crater bursts from its in Inson Merit so great thoughts and burning words leaped Forth from the eloquent Lin Coln. He Drew a picture of the perjured 90 horrid and Goa try that the accuser Ould it under it no longer but reeled and Stag gered from the court room whilst the no hence fancied they could see the Braad Pon his brow. Then in words of thrill no pathos Lincoln appealed to the jurors a Luthers of sons who might become Fath legs and a husbands of wives who might Belt Iod expelled from the Szafry.

Once More thanking Yon for Joar kind expression of feeling i bid Yon All Good words of Wisdom. Judge Miles of the u. S. I rent court of Wisconsin gives the following report of a interview with president Lincoln. The Calm reasoning of the president is Wor thy of the candid consideration of every patriotic citizen. Hear the president in vindication of his Devotion to our common country said the president the song test knowledge of arithmetic will prove to any Man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with democratic Tetrau by. It to d each Nice All the White men of the North to do it there Are now in the service of the United states near two Hundred thou Sand Able bodied coloured men most of them under arms defending and acquiring ten Ioa territory. The democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by re storing them to slavery. The Black men who now assist Union prisoners to Are to be converted into on enemies in the vain Hope of coining the Good will of their masters. We shall have to fight two nations instead of one. You cannot conciliate the South if Yon guarantee to them ultimate Success and the experience of the present War proves their Success is inevitable if Yon fling tie compulsory labor of millions of Block men into their Side of the scale. Will you give our enemies such military advantages a insure and then depend on coax ing. Flattery and Concession to get them in to the Union abandon All the posts garrisoned by Black men take men from our aide and put them in the Battle Field or Corn Field against.

The reply of the latter was what made him feel 80? Bebel prisoners March no through in ton cheered Mcclellan and groaned for Lincoln. What was the cause of the differ ence when the Newa of Early defeat was posted on the journal of Commerce bul Letin in Wall Street the that Gath ered round it cheered for president Coln.

In de Clining the use of my name As a candidate for this High Trust i Only adhere to a Resolution formed when entered the military service to retire altogether from politics while folding a commission in the army. This determination with other considerations had already constrained me during the present canvass to decline a similar re quest made by a number of my old and esteemed constituents in the fourth District who desired to present my name to the democratic convention. I Yie d Tono Citi zen or Soldier in my solicitude for the Oracle termination of the War. The War was deliberately begun by the rebels Rad it persistently waged by them to Dey do and conquer the Union. It is so strange that on enemies should find allies among european antagonists of free institution but it will never cease to be a matter of humiliation and wonder that our own people could be Cerio sly divided upon the ques Tion of submission or resistance. Let who will be for submission i am for resistance a Long As we have a battalion and a Battle Field feel. Until the Constitution and Laws Are vindicated in their supremacy throughout the land the government should be confided to no hands that will hesitate to employ All the Power of he nation to put Down rebellion. The resources of the insurgents Are already so far exhausted that they will give up the struggle As soon a a majority of the people at the ballot Box seconding the inertia Simmons of Farragut and Grant demand the unconditional Serreader of the enemy.
