Were the structure of our government despotic, or our system of religion heathea, there wight be hope of regenerating and suving this na- tion by repubiicanizing ber politics and Christianwing her religion, but since it is the greatest of all political lights and the greatest of all religious lights that this nition hasconveited into darkness, what is her hope?

By the following letter from Senator Hale, it will be seen that the free soilers have nominated him for the Presidency, in direct opposition to his expressed wishes :— Dover, N. IL, August 4, 1!
