Doublicss, had Lo powor from tho other world to siguity tis will, tho stmple nature of Mr, Lincoln would hava rojectod tho idea of raising n monument to him. A calm-grovs in Amorican clay wasall that bis ambition might eall for, but his admir- iug and faithful countrymen could noballow tha Iaat roating-placo of one of the most wonder(ul men of this country to remafx’ obscure. Amer- fco Baw tho beldved ruler strickon down when his groat mission was sccomplished, und re- olved that his obelisk should axise to commom= otate not alone the tragedy of his death, but the, crown and the .glary of his life. Though born upon tho soil of *tho dark and bloody ground,” Mr. Lincolu was csuentially o Westorn mav, and IN THE CITY OF EPRINGFIELD b made that reputation for mingled humor and eagacity which ovontunlly mnde him tho idol of ona section of the American poople, and tho won- der of all sections,—oven thoso who mont bitter- 1y opposed-bin policy.

At tho Fifth Avenuo Hotel, last ovening, & rep- 10sontative of the Herald met Mr. Forstor and his nophew, Hir Thomas Fowell Buxton, grand- *the Buxton " of anti-slavory fame, In course of couversstion eoveral queations wore commented npon of public interost, and a sum- wary of that commentary in givon below. Mr. Forstor atatedithat Lhis was his flrut vislt to Americs, and that tho visit bnd to him o po- culiar {utorest. His Iather, ho said, wasa Quakor reachor, receiving, of course, no emoluments or his prenching, who had all bie lifa beon more or less doeply intovested in the slavery question, and somo years ago ho cama to America to {alk quictly aud without ooy demonstration, particu- Istly with the planters in tho South, about the elaves aud their rolationehip (o their masters. He liad heen received very kindly, aud during the progress of this work Lo died in Tonnesscs, Aud 1t was to atlach somo meorial of respoct o il grave that hod been one of the motives that had prompiod his (M.
