Stephen A. pungla. Permit ua In remark
here, that no biographer of Ahruliini Liueolu
rim tell thu story of his life, willing' giving
J)oug!ai fruiuent mention. Although Liueolu
mid Douglas waro always political opponents,
they were also at ilia lame lime very warm
personal fi lends. In many reiects they were
alike, lint in many widely different. In the
iwial relations nf life, they both possessed that
personal mugnclisui which annul aud holds
slrimi; friends, lint m polillov liny sought success
b i July different luelhnd. They were bulb
honest, conscientious men ; but ambition an
honorable, ambition pushed Douglas on to
greatness, while doty was the innviug principle
in Ilia life of Lincoln. Neither of ihein wnnld
count the odds iu a political contest, but while
Lincoln approachsd hi opponent with caution
nd urged his views with patisno ami niodera
tioa. aud made an rosy victory in the end, Dou.
glasattat-krd his adversary wilhgrrat Vehemence
and impetuosity, so llint nothing could wilbsl and
tin force of the Aral onslaught. His attack upon
the Buobauan Administration is a remarkable
example nf hi ability and willingness tn deal
liirnvy blows without Ihe tuterreution of diplo
macy. In 1847. Mr. Lincoln was elected In Con
gress, being the only Whig member lu a dele
gation ef seven from his Male. The baluuoe
of his political hiitory is well known to III
country, stud cannot be recounted here.
Ilia life has been rvvulful to an extraordi
nary degree, and abounds with many startling
sad pleasing incidriit.
They are all iuU-retiiug to the people, and
when hi life I propel ly wntl. d. it will be
universally tough! after, and become a part of
the household books of every patriotic family.
Aud as struugly illustrating on trait of Mr.
Liocflio'i tataaoier. we relate the following,
which we have heard related several time by
the friends of both parties ;

crime on nimtlii? knt these fad were never
develoK-d nntrl Mr. Lincoln did It Ht the
trial.
Asia nsunl In inch cure, there was great ex
ol'ement in the ooijiurity, and prison hunt
alone saved Armstrong from Hie luiy ot me
num. The prisoner wns overwind d by tho
inislnrlune, and sank into despair i while the
poor mother, looking only through tears, had
no hope, aud could procure no aid.
Mr. Lincoln homing ol the com- through the
newspapers, lost no time in volunteering his
services to save the youth, the son uf those who
had been hii friends in tlia days of his poverty
and obscurity. Gladly wero his services ao
cepted, Mr. Lincoln's great soul welled up
with gratitude for Ihe kindness nf olh-r days.
hiii he entered into tin) c is with all his heart
and sir- ligth, determined to rescue li e widnVs
sou, and render some recompense for what she
had done for him. fie attended the tril
promptly, and nnnle such adi li-nsc ns can only
be made by cinque ut men, moved by such no
ble impulses, lie developed Ihe truth iu Un
case, showing who the rcul murderer wsm, from
the testimony adduced, by the prosecution
Ills whole being ha I been for months engaged
in ihii work of gratitude, and as the lava bursts

burning words flowed from the soul of the elo
quent advnvate. The young man wits clenred,
and Hie widow's heart rejoiced not only for this,
hut I lint she had been a friend to Ihe " hired
boy."
An account of this may be found iu l!ny
ninud's life of Lincoln
Knell was Abraham Lincoln iu his social re
l-iiinii. lie never forgot n kindness, lint nl
ways lnruave nil injury, lie seemed to act
upon the iiiiiI to, "To err is human, In forgive
divine." ll was among hi" neighbors, the
very est neighbor they hud.
Hut it is Abraham Lincoln, as developed and
tried by the events of Ihe past four years, that
iu so much endeared bis name to the Ameri
can people, lie came to I ho l'l esidency n
comparatively unknown man, but now his inline
and liberty, are known throughout the world as
syiniuyinon terms.
He bus been tried ns no 1'residenl, aud we
nun truly suy, ns no ruler i f auv uiilion was
ever tried before. The circumslauces in which
hn was ushered into, when inaugurated, were
momentous and extraordinary and the events
llint quickly followed were more so,
He received from the trn.tor lliichamiii, a
bankrupt Treasury ; mi army uf nuilors iu
office, to displace; the Capita! swarming Willi
spies, informers and cut-thrnat villiaus; "a
bind dissevered, discordant, belligerent ;" a
Ouliilme nt the bead of nil Briny of couspiin
tors and traitors marching upon Ihe Cnpilol ol
Ilia Naliou, and himself without an armv or
nil. y to oppose them, lint this great storm
did not coiifunnd Mr. Liueolu it only ilevi-l
Aped the real qualities of the man. Under
such uircuiiisliiuues, a iiinu of any other mail
would have either coiuiuilli d the nation lo su
icide by some arbitrary act, or he would hnve
succumbed to Ihe appalling catasln phe ol mi
tional dissolution. Hut it was Abraham Liu
coin's peculiar ability, and his alimr. to still
the troubled waters, and tn lake Ihe helm of
Ills great ship nf itnte, und with as much cool
ness, as iu navigating hi flnthnat thirty years
before, carry it safely through the breakers lo
inv iiutvii ui rows.
These great trials which so beset him on
every hand, has enabled Ihe people lo appro,
ciate him aud form a true estimate ol his char
acter.
The most searching scrmiuy nf vehemiil
opponent has been for lour years applied tn
discover some failings iu the ehaiacler or con
duct of the 1'residenl ; and completely lulling

simplicity, and good humor id lh num. has

Ids ruling idea. Wl he left Springfield un
the 1 1 lli of February 18(11, bo said, iu wnrdsnl

himself! "Of the people when they rise iu
moss in In-half nf lire Union, mid of the liber

"The gales of Hell cannot prevail nanirt

Union ami the Constitution." ' This country,
with its iiWiliilions, lielougs tn Iho people who
inhabits it." " Why should 'here mil be a pa
lii lit confidence in the ultimate justice uf (he
people ? Is there airy better or equal hope iu

Lincoln felt the necessity of musing the peo
ple np lo feel Ihe great value nf their Govern
ineiit he fell its in pnrtance himself, and these
declarations of his. so often repented, anil in
such varied forms, made the people feci Just as
he felt.
Upon the subject of slavery, Mr. Lincoln
was always il cnnsislenl und steadfast oppo
nent. His famous declaration mnde in a speech
nt Springfield on the 17 h nf Juno 1858, con
tained his doctrine on this subject. Said ho:
" A house divided against itself cannot slnml.
I believe Ihis government cannot permanently,
endure half slave and half free. I do not ex
pect Ihe Union to bo dissolved I do not ex
pect Iho house lo fall hut I do expect that, it
will ci-aso to bit divided. It will become all
one thing or ull tho oilier." In making a speech
In some soldiers in August hist, he used these
iiicuuiiublc winds: "We have, as all will
agree, a free Government, where every man
has a righl to he equal with every olhcr mtw.
In this great struggle, this form ol Government
and every firm of human right is endangered,
if nur enemies succeed. Thorn is involved iu
this struggle, Iho queslion, tcHtthcr your rhil
rlren and my rhililren shall enjoy the privileges
ti-e hove enjoyed."
About one year u;o, in writing lo Mr.
Ilodg f Kentucky, he said: "Ium nntur-
ully aiiti slaveiy. If slavery is nut wrong, noth
ing is wrong. I (iiiiunt remember when 1 did
not so think anil feel." Hut c cusiunt add
more his eloquent declarations on this point
would fill a volume
Ily such words and deeds hu has endeared
himself lo ull true Americans. His lot wus
cast in the time that " tried men's souls."
Under all Ihe circumslunces, hitherto unparal
leled in the history of uny nntioii, he might well
have been pardoned, if, doing his best, bo had
failed lint be did mil fail. His life and ser
vices form a glorious victory lor Liberty and
lint riejlls of (he penple." There luivii been
greater Geucr.il, grcnler icholurs, greater or

day, yet when the dispatch horn General Mc
Dowell caiim appointing Wednesday, the dnj'
was hastily prepared for. The churches ami

Idems. All the flags in the i ily, anil Ihey wire
many, were limped up iu crape und ?u penilcd
at half-mast. Minute guns fere fired ever;
hall hour. All the places of business were
closed, and nil labor was suspended for the

nf peop'e assembled nt Ihe court house, nnd a
procession numbering several ihnnsand persons
of all ages and parties, men and women, funn

Tho "Marion Hilles." with arms reversed, ac
companied by the other military gentlemen of
the city, the Society of Odd Fellows iu full re
galia marched in tho procession. Tho
procession throughout was the most orderly
nnd quiet we havu ever witnessed, every one
seeming to feel the full force of the sad event
which hud called them together. Tho excep
tion. Hy some unaccountable means the
coiiiinille in charge did not invite any of the
Methodist clergy to participate in the exercises,
after appointing a general meeting nt tho
Methodist church. Tho people came and the
church was crowded to overflowing, hundred
failing to get room inside, l'uth Mr. Dillon
nod Mr. Huberts were present apd could have
addressed tho meeting in n suitable manner,
but liny wero nut invited tn, and it was not
Iheir meeting. It turned out that un unmiti
gated copperhead, a preacher ill town, whose
inline need not ho mentioned here, had been
spoken tn by one of Iho committee nnd was nn
h inds, nnd volunteered to deliver a sermon
tba. he had prepared for his own church. As
no ouo but the committee were authorized to
direct mutter, Mr. Dillon could nut certainly
he required to prevent this iniiu, or any other
man. Iron) speaking. The consequence wns that
the vast audience of loyal Union men and women
(those that remained) were compelled to listen to
a long haniiiguit from a man who attended the
demouraliu meetings last summer with great
fidelity, who would never unite with the other
ministers in aiding either Iho Sanitary or
Christian Commissions, whii never attended
the monthly army meetings, but kept his own
house open at the time, and whu litis been so
enmnh-tclv dead to the interests of his country
as lo frecr.e his own church to deulh lung ngo.
The people regarded Iiis offer to address them
on Mint occasion us nn insult, and left the
church in large numbers ; und so great was
Ihe feeling ngiiittst him, Ihat a Hole wus scut
np to Mr. Dillon anon nflrr the sermon (which
never in the least referred In Mr. Lincoln's
