Abraham Oncoln, our Sext President.
The fact that MR. LINCOLN is to be
the next President of the United States, is taking possession of the minds of the people, not only in the 2sorth but throughout theentireSouth. Even the Charleston Mercury, virtually admits tho certainty of his election, and does it with an air of cheerfulness and good humor which plainly shows that southern men are preparing for a Republican administration. In hot excitement and amid the angry discussion of slavery and the various topics pertaining theic-1
to, the ardent, impetuous minds of the
South will flash out in fierce denuncia tion and loud threats of disunion, but when the fact glares out before them in characters of living light when they learn that the men of the J7orth stand firmly on principle, unmoved by threats, immovable and fixed as the eternal hills, their boasting vanishes
into thin air. Their love of country returns with redoubled ardor, and they cling to the Union with au earnestness and a devotion which glows with that patriotism kindled in the Revolution, and transmitted from noble sire to son even to the present time. When we look back through the history of our country, and trace our Puritan Fathers in their perilous voyage over the trackless and billowy deep when we think of their standing for thefirsttime on Plymouth Rock, their eyes and voices uplifted to Heaven for protection, their ears greeted by the Atlantic wave as it dashed against .New England's stern and rock-bound coast, and thc war-whoop of the wild and savage Indian when we look over the page on which is recorded their fierce con
flicts
with thc French and Red Man of thc Forest when we think of the dark and bloody battle fields of tho American. Revolution, in which was manifested the noblest patriotism, the lowliest philanthropy, the deepest love cf country, the sternest integrity, thc purest Christianity and from which emerged'this glorious Union of States, this fairest fabric of Empire, constructed b}T the highest intelligence, ecmented by the noblest blood, and, consecrated by the prayers and tears of patriots and christians, our faith in its stability grows stronger and stronger, our. fears for its perpetuity banish from ou-r minds, and from the very depth of our heart we can but exclaim
ilEsto
hearts of thirty millions of freemen and though cjouds of internal dissension may at times gather in our midst with dark and lowering aspect, yet are they borne up and away by the strong breath of patriotism, and the rain-bow of Peaco again shines out in. arching beauty across the sky.
We rejoice in the bright prospect for the election of Lincoln and Hamlin to the highest offices in the gift of the American people. It will dissipate at once and forever the idle and mischievous designs of wicked and reckless politicians who*are ever crying breakers ahead, unless they are feasting at the public crib. In the election of'Lincoln, these political parasites will be driven into oblivion their harsh, discordant and miscliicvcus voices will be hushed to silence and their names blotted from the record of public functionaries.—
In the election of Lincoln the old love of Country, Union and Constitution, will come back purer, brighter, deeper and stronger for its temporary estrangement. North and South will once more strike hands in oonds of unsevercd, eternal friendship.
&3T~\f all the laboring men of our country are unfit for freedom, how many ax*e there who should be fice? Small indeed would be tho number in Indiana, and large would be the number of slaves. The very bone and sinew of our State, the men who have grown rich and accumulated property who have built our roads and developed the resources of our soil, would become the slaves, the chatties, the property of a few loafers, who live upon the labor of others. The despots of the old World, the Hierarchy of Rome, the tyrants who have trodden under foot the liberties of m«n from time immemorial, never uttered oi" sanctioned a more damning doctrine than that now advanced by H. V. Johnson, and sustained by the
Douglas party. Let it be fairly understood by the people, and they will scorn the man and scout his doctrine. Such opinions might have lived and flourished in the the°dark ages of the world, when superstition governed the minds of men, but in this'day of light and knowledge, the men who advocate them will ere long be calling on the rocks and mountains to cover and hide them from the indignant gaze of an outraged people.

jJgf'Will the editor of the Review support for tho Yice Presidency a man who regards him as unfit for freedom because he labors with his own hands for a living? Will he sustain one who would reduce all the hands in his office to the condition of slaves? When he places at tire head of his paper the name of II. Y. Johnson as a candidate for the Yice Presidency, he endorses his sentiments he says to the laboring class of
Indiana, "you are unworthy of freedom, unfit to exercise the sacred privileges bequeathed to us by our patriot fathers vou are not above the condition of slaves, and should never be permitted to exercise the privileges of freemen." A grosser insult was never before offered the people of Indiana than to ask their suffrages for II. Y. Johnson.
Those who thus urge them are the worst enemies of the laboring classes, and should be scorned and contemned as the enemies of free institutions and the best interests of man. Are the' laboring men of Indiana so tame as to be driven by party power to vote for men who would enslave them? A\ cannot believe it those who are thus driven will one day repent of their madness in sackcloth and ashes.

The Ps*csSf!enisa.a CandMates. We alluded, briefly, last week, to the two Democratic candidates for thc Presidency, both of whom are now claiming the regular nomination. There seems to be an irrepressible conflict raging between the two factions as to which of them is regular and which iiregular. This conflict waxes hotter and hotter, and the feelings of bitterness are more intense than those between the old Democratic party and the Republicans. Propositions for running joint electoral tickets in different States have been made, but to no purpose. Every effort at reconciliation only results in rendering the chasm still wider, and making the prospects for compromise dark and still more doubtful. The corruptions of the party, like thc pent up fires of a volcano, must have vent, 'and in bursting forth have rent the party into fragments, which can never again be re-united. As well attempt to roll back the burning tide of lava into the crater of Vesuvius, when that burning mountain is heaved with her mightiest and most terrific throes. Stephen A. Douglas was the only sacrifice that could have stilled the raging waters of Democracy but his friends having, in times past, made every other sacrifice, determined, that their leader should not bo placed upon the
altar ^.7?"The prospect is now flattering ior the large^opof S^o had i» this county for INAPV VBOXF.

The Indiana Daily Journal says that "the great State Douglas ratification meeting has been fixed for thc 18th inst.,—the day when the almanac says the sun is to be eclipsed. This is ominous.

A kind of half bogus half genuine, "kinder sorter" Douglas or nobody Democratic Convention, succeeded, by outrages and unfair means, in giving Stephen A. Douglas a quasi nomination for the Presidency at Baltimore on last Saturday.
At the same time and place a kind of a "kinder sorter" Convention ot'Democrats nominated Hon. John C. Breckinridge for President and that glorious old Democratic soldier, Gen. Joe. Lane, of

Both should decline the nomination, and let the matter go back to thc people, and if they don't send up a set of delegates that can act honestly, and not go to falling down and worshipping little giants, we are very much mistaken.

Republicanism in Kentucky. We find the following conclusive article as to the identity of the principles maintained in the Chicago Platform, and those upheld by Henry Clay, in the Louisville Journal of a late date.— It speaks well for Kentucky Republicanism:
In the Journal's article of tho 10th, commenting on the nomination of Mr. Lincoln at Chicago, particular attention is drawn to (he latter clause of the eighth section of the platform previously adopted, which is denounced in the following terms: ''Thus the Republican party renews with fresh intensity its vows of hostility to the South.''
Your attention is respectfully called to the following passages from Henry Clay's speeches in the Senate in 1850, placed in juxtaposition with the parallel passages of the Chicago Platform: Henrg ('lay's speech in the Sec. 8, Chicago Platform.

Now, in these in both alike wo have the three fundamental principles hud down: First, that slavery does not exist primarily in the territories by hvw, and as a consequence that freedom does. Secondly, that- the Constitution does not carry it there. Thirdly, that it should not be legislated there.
The. only difference between the Republican platform and Henry Clay is that while the former denies the right to do a thing, the latter says he would not exercise it though he might possess the riirht "vows certainly as intensely hostile in the one case as in the other. In fact, if thc hostility consists in denying the South the legal sanction of slavery in the territories,Henry Clay's position is more hostile, than the Chicago Platform, for it is more offensive to "refuse a request by saying "I can help you, but 1 will not, "than by saying I cannot help you—I have not the power." But we tire content to stand where Ilcnry Clay stood. It he was hostile to the South, so are we. But was Henry Clay hostile to the South?

A South Carolina Estimate. The Charleston (S. C.) Isfews thus estimates the prospects of the Presidential canvass:
Our
readers may desire to have our
opinion iipon the probable results of the Presidential struggle. Of course, no one can absolutely foretell what the American people, at this fearful crisis, may determine through the ballot box. If they were fully aware of its new and momentuous character, and that tho peace of the country and the Union itself hung upon it, we would unhesitatingly say that Breckinridge and Lane would be elected. But the spirit ofsection and party-rule them still, and prejudice and passion irresistibly pervade the contest. Under their inflence our conviction is apprehensive that Lincoln, the Black Republican candidate. will be elected. If the votes of the fifteen Southern States, and of California and Oregon' be claimed for Breckinridge and Lane, and they will most probably obtain them, they only amount to 127 in the Electoral College consisting of 303 votes. The other (17G) votes, to be cast by the Northern States, must, under calculations,be conceded to Lincoln. In those States there AVi11 be four electoral tickets headed by Douglas, Bell, Breckinridge and Lincoln. The entire position to the Black republicans, already in a large majority in most of them, will bo divided among the parties of thc first three candidates, and leave Lincoln with a plurality in every Northern. State. It would be doubtful, whether in a single contest with him and any one of them he would not carry the whole. It is a great mistake to suppose that in a single contest Douglas could carry Pennsylvania against him—that was conceded on all sides at Washington. Breckinridge might do it. But as it is, Lincoln must carry it.
Our present impression isthatDouglas will not obtain a single electoral vote. His only chance is for Missouri and but a chance. Bell and Everett
may Tenncseo, under cer and the division ofthe Democracy into two parties. But the popularity of Breckinridge and Lane, and tlio disposition of the'Democracy of each State maintain its unity, will, no doubt, sweep those States.

For the expositions made, Kise has threatened the editor of the Expositor, after vainly trying first to beg him, and secondly to bribe him, to say nothing more about his defalcation. Failing in this he sought to injure him, and a few days since prompted his son to go into the Expositor office in the absence of the editor and his employees and destroy the type.— Destroying the material of a country printing office is the meanest specimen of Democratic spite we have heard of for some time.—Ind.
