The Chicago Daily Democrat, one of the most ultra, republican organs of Illinois, gave a quick and fiat denial to this piece of intelligence, in this language--“'Mr, Lovejoy and Mr. Lincoln are warm personal friends and political supporters of each other. Mr. Lovejoy was in favor of the nomination of Mr, Lincoln for President, and Mr, Lincoln would like to see Mr. Lovejoy returned to Con- gress. Mr. Lincoln is for using all the constitutional means in his power for the suppression of slavery. This is all Mr. Lovejoy is for.

The fact was not denied, and it did much to turn many Convention to Lincoln's side. When Lovejoy, the furious fanatic from Iiinois, belches out his abolition bile on the floor of ress, he is only pushing forward in the tmoen- diary path first indicated by his friend and’ political, porter, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s doctrine is that t eae of the North must conspire to exterminate slavery in the South, or the people of the South will exterminate freedom in the North, Mr. Lincoln, in the same speech In which he proclaims this principle, begins a crusade against the Supreme Court of United States by arguing that its decisions ate of no binding force upon the of these States. He lays bold of the Dred Scott decision because, as he said, it depriy ea eee of the right of citizenship in these Unit- ed States, sooner than the negro should be excluded the right of voting, he would raise the battle ory of the “irrepressible conflict.” ‘He gocs on another step still farther in the path of revo- lution, and declares that negroes are iuciuded in the bill of rights set forth in the Declaration of American Indo- t the * all men” named in that document embraces negroes as well as white men.

Now, this is one of those ingenious and timely falsehoods for which the politicians who bave been brought up in Master Thurlow’s school are famous. It is true that Lincoln did receive a small majority of the popular vote over Douglas, because between five and six thousand of the democratic votes of the State were thrown off on 4 third candidate in consequence of his split with the administration.

Tt is amusing to witness the tortures of the republicans in their vain endeavors to make a hero out of Abe Lincoln. Not ess than seven different incideut hunters and glory manufacturers have already been bere, industrious!y try. ing to fich up something out of his past career for cam- paign bupcombe. Their disappointment is painful. We heard one of these romancers ask a chum last night, “Have you got hold of anything interesting yett” “No,” was the reply, ‘‘not a damned thing.” On tho other hand, those who want to abuse Lincoln are equaily put to their wit's ends for anything to say. The truth is, that there is very little to praise or blame in the life of Abe Lincoln. He is simply a plain, honest, common piace man—a merry, jovial man—in whom there is a great deal of fun, without any bad qualities to detract from the en- Joyment one finds in his rociety. No man can be farther from being a hero, and none will more despise the efforts that are being made to make one of him, than old Abo himself. You have but to look ‘upon the man to perceive that there is in him none of the stuff of which heroes are made; for, though bis personal appearance is certainly striking, yet there is nothing in it to impress you in the least with any idea of Intellectual superiority. The papers have exaggerated his height at east two inches, for he is not over six feel twy, but bis exceesive leannens gives an exaggerated impression of bis height. He looks ag lean, and Jong, and lank, and crooked as are those specimen rails of his own splitting. He is as straggling and awkward in bis gait as Horace Greeley, while bis whole appearance is more grotesque, in consequence of the remarkable disproportion between tha length of bis arms ahd bis body. But bis legs aro a mateh for his arms. Talk of his jumping from the back window of the State House! Why, stepped ig the word; for, to see him, you would think he coukl not have the slightest difficulty in stepping” from » two story window to the ground atany time. By the way, it was not the ‘State House from which Abe jumped; the Stato House was not then built, and the Legislature assembled in the old Baptist church. The Sergeant-at-Arms had been sent for Lincoln, and when he had been brought in and the front door locked, he jumped out of one of the back windows and took to bis heels, When the dismayed Sergeant-at Arms was commanded to follow him aud bring him back again, he exclaimed, “My God! gentlemen, do you kiidw what you ask? Think of the length of Abe's legs, and then tell me how Tam to catch him.”’ Mr. Lincoln is a man of the most abetemious and ex- emplary habits. He neither smokes, nor chews, nor drinks, nor swears. He is an affectionate husband, the most indulgent of fathers, a kind neighbor, and a clever fellow generally. As a lawyer he is respectable, bat hag never been considered as first class. Sinee his nomination he bas a new suit of clothes, and is evidently trying to brush Limself up a little; but he never can d A suit of new clothes made to fit that inexpresimbly crooked and awkward body of Abe Lincoin’s has already the look of wear and decay in every thread. If it came from the tallor’s shop the day before yesterday, it will look aa though it had been bung in the cornfields for a scarecrow Defore the day after to-morrow. Mr. Lincoln lives in a plain. brown two story wooden honee, a little off at one side of the city, whica without ornament either on it or in the grounds around it. Every. thing hespeaks @ becoming absence of affectation and love: dwn almost unbecoming absences of taste and refinement. And this is procienly. Mr. Lincoln's character.

MEETING OF THE FOURTH OF JULY (OMMITTEE—CHA- RACTERISTIC SCENES—ALMOBT A FIGHT, ETC. A scene of by no means an unusual nature, though cer- tainly exciting and disgraceful, and by all means intercst- ing character was enacted in the quiet committee room of our venerable city fathers yesterday afternoon. The oc- casion was the meeting of the Special Committee of the Common Council to make the customary arrangements for the celebration of onr national anniversary. Of course the most appropriate one was selected, otherwise the first act would have been inconsistent with the general repu- tation of our city fathers upon the stage of life. The cir- cumstances of the scene of yesterday were as follows At the hour appointed for the meeting of the Joint Committee, which was one o'clock in the afternoon, Alderman Platt, the Chairman, and aquerum of the committee were present. At this juncture, and as the business of the meeting was about to proceed, Councilman Hogan, the Chairman of the Coun- cilmen’s committee, entered the room without his coat, with a tremulous lip and other symptoms of internal agi- tati'p. He stood on the side o! the table around which oe were ee ee ak the hey bie wi 18 posture Was ry Alderman ho bad his coat off, to which he replied that he did gf want his coat then Immediately afterwarcs Alderman Flatt called the committee to order, whereupou Council- map Hogan moved rourg close to where the chairman was teated, and taking a paper from the Clerk !aid {ton he table with violence, and demanded the foilowing:— Councilman Hocis—I want to know ape boa fer aga and tell me oie Or or a louse, I say. hs regen! paper he heid iris tend te Adee t, from whowy bow: ever, he received no reply of any kind.) “Wed,” con. tinued the worthy Councilman, ‘well, you are a loafer.”’ Still no reply was youchsafed aad the Councilman now step- Lager ag i the chairman and repeated, in a loud voice, which betokened muca anger, ‘ Well, you are @ loafer’, and a damned Joafer.”” Alderman Platt now returned sharply, though in a sub- dued voice, ‘I take that irom whence it comes.” Bbt pra ss sensation and silence bow prevailed m the roo for & moment or two, every one presen’ being ia the evident expectation that a fight would be the immedin'o consequence of these repeated compliments, This state of things ry soon interru by Councilman Hogan, who termination, recmotemes as words, not to abandon the position of hostility which he had so Wiantly assumed. He therefore broke out again as fol- we: Councilman Hocax—You are a damned loafer, and if you were not you would come out here and show it, Alderman Piarr—I do not want to make myself a loafer like you. Councilman Hocas (with much warmth)—You are no man, damm you, but a loafer; apd if you were aman yeu would prove it pow. Here the silence of the room again followed, like the lull in the storm, till the equal! came on again. Councilman Hocax—I will not meet with any such damned joafer as you are, damm you. I am aman wherever I am, but you are a loafer. StU po was made by Alderman Platt, who «hook either with fear or emotion. Councilman Hogan aow put on the coat of which he had divested himself, and re- cated to himeelf, im a kind of audible mono- ogue— Meet with such a damned loafer like that! , advancing to the table a second time flunga paper down upon it, and walked towards the door with a face woll calculated to portray rago tinged slightly with disappointment. Alderman Platt now directed the clerk of the committee to read the communications, if any had been received, but before the order had time to be wbeyed Conncilm.n HoGay returned to the charge and said loudly, “You loafer you! if 1 was well tho other day I would bave thrashed you anyhow.” Alderman Piatt, (cmphatically)—I don't know sbout that—it may be matter of opinion.” And then turning to the clerk, he continued, “Go on with the communica- ‘tiows.”” The clerk to read, but before the first Ine was announced he was again interrupted by Counoil- man Hogan calling out his respectful farewell, from the door. in the following terms:— Councilman Hogax—You are a loafer, damn you. I am not going to meet with @ damned loafer like you. I am a man wherever I am, either here or anywhere else. ‘This was the finale of 2 scene which lasted for about five minutes, and cavsed ove continuous sensation during that time, The rest of the members of the Common Council were remarkably quiet—like Pint ad else pre- fent—while the scone lasted, leaving the eld entirely in the possession of the two combatants who post potned SS it, and evidently deporting themsetver upon sen. sible principle taught by the adage, which says “pra. dence is the better part of valor.” This row was caused neglecting to_put Dir. Hogan’ committees, aud thereby cutting him all chance of spotty.

The city of New York never was bealtbier, compara- tively speaking, than it is at the present time. Our sub- urban friends appear to be aware of Judging from the liberal manner in which the are pa- tronized, which are filled to overflowing, besides thou- sands who are entertained by their friends and relatives at private mansions. The influx of strangers from the Southern cities, who usually spend the summer months at Newport, Saratoga, Niagara and the various sea coas® places of pleasure, is very large at the present time, and they, in common with many of our wealthy metropoli+ tans, do not appear ina hurry to leave town as long as the weather remains reasonably cool. The watering places are doing but a limited business as yet, and along the sgq shore they are almost tenanticas, In illustration of the assertion made in another part of this article, as to the healthiness of the city, we base the fact on the only reliable source for the mfor- mation—we refer to the City Inspector's report. From i¢ we learn that for the week ending June 26 the deaths in New York were 347; for the week ending June 29, 1859, the deaths were 332, and for the week enaing June 23, ‘{8e0—1ast week—the deaths were only 831, a balance om doth the former years in fuvor of the present. Now, taking into consideration the increase of population and the increased influx of foreign immigration, we reassert that this city is exceedingly healthy. ‘This gratifying state of affairs is explained on a twofold hypothesis—viz: the City Inspector has been unremitting in his efforts to rid the city Of niisances, and has kept @ large force of street sweepers at work; and secondly, the copious showers of rain within the past two weeks hag carried into the street sewers all the minute particles of vegetable matter not acceavible to the efforts of the “hoe and broom brigade.’”” STATEMENT OF WORK DONE IN THE CITY INSPEC TOR'S DEPARTMENT FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 23, 1860.
