A TRUTIII'Uls PICTURE. The New York Mercury, an exclusive literary paper, to add ret and variety to its columns, weekly publishes the biography of soma prominent public man, togejhcPwith a wood cnt likeness. The number for Sept.. 3rd, contains the following biography of ''Abraham' Lincoln. A regiicf ithe absenci of the cut, in our columns, but the biography looses none of

ltszct and piquancy fiotu thi niiksionr..Considcrnig that for the lasrtllree ' Vears the Mercury has been an advocate of the war and the" Administration this sudden change is all the more significant ! Abraham Lincoln, whom' Providence, as a puni:dijuent' for our sins, made , the sixteenth President of the United States, h a Southern rian, with, makeshift principles. : Every President otighi' to to bepopular ; but Lincoln, certainty, is, not. W e insert his iTjjlyphii in our PorJiilar Photograph Gallery out of respect to his position, since we can have little for himself. t Mr. Lincoln was born in that part of Hardin County, Kentucky, now known as Larne.'on the 12tli of February, 1809. He is consequently fifty-five years of age. His father was born' in .Rockingham County, Virginia. ' His mother, Miss Nancy Hanks, was also a native of the Old Dominion'. '"Mr.' Lincoln ; isv there' fore, a Southern man all the way through. As.thi.s section r of the country has no cause to be very proud, of him, we arc glad td place, his origin on the other side of Mason & Dixon's line. Old AW had only about six months' schooling. . The J.rcst. of his education, such as'it is, h picked v'up" for himself. When he was about seven years i.ld, his father emigrated frere Kentucky to Southern Indiana, in Spencer County. Until ne was eignteen, lie labored in the woods, cutting down -frees "and splitting rails. Hence his sbtibriqnet; ''The Railsplitter." At nineteen, ho was hired as a flat-boatman, to go to .New, Orleans.. In .1830, his father removeil to Illinois, and settled on Sangamtuouiyer, since celebrated in many of OldA,be's filthy stories. Abe pushed further piC and, reached Menr ard County,-in the same State, whero he worked on a farm near Petersburg. The next spring, Lincoln made another trip to New (Jrleans; on a flatboat, and, upon ins votuin, lie, toot charge ot cis employer k store, inth'1.yulage of New Salem.. When tha''. ck Hawk War broke out, he raio;d a-n?nipany and Was made a captain. -Afterward, he re-enlisted as a private. During the war, he never heard a hostile shot. A - he himself expresses it, "I did not 6ee any live, fighting Indians but had. a good many bloody, struggles Hyith the mnsquitos." Upon his return he', ran for the Legislature, but was defeated; Then he engaged in business, but failed and sold out. Theft he tried: surveying,, but foon got tired of that. Finaljy he became Postmaster of New Salem-tbia first: office. In August. 1834, Old Abo was elected to the Legislature. In. 1S3G,. 1838, ,aad 1840, he was re-elected. As a legi.-ilator, he was only noted for his country-pump kin manners and his broad jokes. During the time he was thus, feeding at the public crib he studied law, and wa admitted to the Bar. This proved a luckv specu lation. In every campaign, from 1S3G to lbol:, he was a candidate on the lug ticket for Presidential Elector, and was defeated every time. In 1840, he was elected to Congress, and distinguished himself by his tlisloral conrso in rciAnl to the Mexican War, 'hi speeches being still quoted by the Peace men and Rebel sympathizers in support of their position in regard to this war. If th t' were the only; ammunition with which he has sup plied the enemies of the nation, he might be more readily forgiven. In 1848, Mr. Lincoln, was. a delegate to the Whig National Convention. , In 1849. he was defeated as a candidate for the United States Senate. In 1854, he was again a candidate, but withdrew, seeing his chances hopeless. At the first Republican National Convention, he was an unsuccessful candidate for Vice-President.; ' When Fremont rah, Linceln was on the Electoral ticket. In 1858. he ran against Douglas :tor . .the United States Senate, and vvas whipped by the "Little Giant". on'the stumn and on the vote. In 1800. he was nominated for President by the Republican Convention, at Chi cago, as a compromise candidate. No body wanted him ; but the factions could not agree upon anybody else.r Thus -he slipped into the nomination; anil, through the split in' the Democractic nartv. he slipped into the Presidency. That was a sad day for the country ! Our .readers have only too. much reason to remember the subsequent events. in his career, and we will not repeat them. There is a good deal of trash talked and written abont Lincoln being a selfmade man a representative of the ; people cradled in a log cabin, and now resting in tbe White Houseand much more in this sttain. The simple trnth is, however, that Mr.' Lincoln does no credit to the' system of popular government. Had he been a good President, Ire would have honored thesyatom,; but as he is a bad President, he has disgraced it. Old Abe was," and is, a mere cunning polititician, who has crawled up from office to ofiice until he is now at the highest Look at his record here. See how many offices he has filled, and how continually he kept running for office, hunting' fori office, begging for office, and then decide what claim he has to be considered a repIxesentative of the people. A rcprenenU i tiv oi me people, iv representative oi little, mean, ecurvy, barroom-haunt-ip, office hunting politicians he may be. J Jit not of tbe great, honest, hard-work-rnar-n of the Ar-A-. J

ncompetency for his position is obvious. ! lie is not an anti-slaveiy man tm pvinciole. although h. now r,r..f ei,U frt h. Ho ! is not a conservative, although he p'ay that rale when it serves hi pettv purposecs. He has bungled the best-laid planspf 6ur . generals, and brought dirty political rsquabbles into the management f military, puatters. . He has usurped unconst itutiunal powers,-, and is openly de nounced by the leading men of his ownj party as an attempt at a dictator. Hei has violated the riirhts of the people in L ignts oi the peop every possible way, and would have been impeached long ago if Congress had done its duty. He has removed able generals, because they, differed with him iu poli tics ; and. appointed military imbeciles who have sacrificed the lives of our soldiers in . fruitless expeditions. He has deel are .that the war shall not end except upon terms unauthorized by the Constitution, lie has hardly a friend in his own party, and not oue'outofit. In manners, he is a clown ; in nature, a buffoon; .and in. everything, .contemptible. If he had the brains, he,. would be a despot. Lacking brains, he is au imbecile. As a politician, he is notoriously dishonest; and this is shown in his recently sacrificing Hamlin in order to securo his own' ienomination. An incubus upon the nation a hiudrancc to the cause he professes to love an object of universal ditd ke he - brazenly claims that the soldiers' vote and theshoddv vote will re-elect him, with the help of his office-holders and' a bogus vote from the Rebel States." If it does, farewell to all hopes of the Union ! The Democratic Party Testimony of an Opponent.' The Newburyport, (Mass.,) Herald thinks the Democratic party, as a political organization, is defunct,"" but that' its principles survive, and are the only principles which can success fully govern the country. It 6ays : , :. ''., "Now wo have this to say of the Democratic party, that, separated from all connection with slavery, it is, the party of the country, and is, politically speaking, essentially truth. All other organi zaiions havo.heen temporary, based upon false principles, and often aiming to sustain wrong measures. So not one of them has continued. Thero has never been a party opposed to the Democratic party that has outlived a single national - actministration 'after coming to power. From tho days of John Adams to the Jast year of the jterin of Abraham: Lin coln, this fact stands out as truth. They could live well enough when out of pow er, for then their whole dnty was to criticise and grumble ; but brought to the lest of "practical action, they have all so fa? failed as to be rejected by the people upon the first election afterwards ; and if Mr. Ljncoln should prove an exception, ho will be the first in seventy years.; On the other hand, the Democratic party is more popular'in power than out, because its platform has embodied the principles upon which the nation was founded, and without which it could not continue. Wc refer to its recognition of the written constitution ; its strict construction of that constitution ; and as a consequence, its limitation of executive and congressional powers, its affirmation of the rights of the States rights reserved in the for mation of tho Union .; and its defence of the liberties pf American citizens every where. Its measures relating to finance, internal improvements,' tariffs, taxation, the army, and mo navy, ana intercourse with" foreign powers', were all based npon its' fundamental 'principles. "' Now we do not care what ni ay be the name of the party that adopts this platform ; it will be the party to control the country in the long run, unless this revolution shall produce a radical change in. our government The country can be governed no otherwise and maintain the distinctive charac ter it has had, and 'by which have come our wondrous growth, immense power, and great prosperity. The Herald will find tho organization of the Democratic party as durable as its principles, and that the mutations it may experience will only ' add to its power, and afford it the discipline necessary to increased wisdom and ability to control national policy. John W. Forney, the "President's dog," made a speech in 1855, in which he spread himself after the following fashion : ."What is there in our happy country to make men afraid of the light of day and of honest inquiry ? Have we a conscript law that tears the hnsband man from his plow, the father from his family, the son from his widowed mother, to go forth and act gladiators for the amusement cf a few ambitions kings ? Have we laws for the rich and stripes for the poor ? Is our President an Attilla or a Caligula? Is our Senate a Council of Ten ? Is our House of Representatives a body of tyrants armed with power to ravish and destroy ? Secret organization against such wrongs would be justifiable and right, for we are tanght the great lesson that resistance to tyrants is 'obedience to GotL" ' We would like to'seethe answer Forney would attempt to give these questions at the present time ' - ' - ' 3TKt is Sanday School meeting in Ohio the subject of thttf slim attendance of pupils at the school, being under consideration, a promising lawyer offered the following resolution: .
