Mr. Lincoln is for using all the constitutional means in his power for the suppression of slavery. This is all Mr. Lovejoy is for.

Ina Ham of his at Columbus, Ohio, in September last, he claimed the paternity vf the irrepressible conflict. He said :— I do not believe that Governor Seward uttered that sentiment becanse I had done so before, but because he reflected on this subject and saw the truth of it.” Lin- col, therefore, is the author of the doctrine which Sow, ard afterwards, in his Rochester speech, christened the “irrepressible conttict”—a doctrine which looks out over oceans of human blood. At the © Convention, when Mr. Seward’s friends argued that the nomination belonged to him, as he was the founder and builder of the republican party, Lincoln's friends triumphantly replied that he was the real ‘of the creed of the party. did much to turn many of the most ultra members Convention to Lincoln's side. When Lovejoy, the furious fanatic from Iitinois, belches out his abolition bile on the floor of Congress, be is only pushing forward im the incen- diary path first indicated by his friend and political sup- porter, Abrabam Lincoln.

In his spoech at Chicago, July 10, 1858, he said :— I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which de- clares that all men arc cqual upon principle, and making exceptions to it, where will it stop? Ifone man says it does not mean J nenre, yoy ey Dor saber od it does not mean some other man? If that declaration is not the truth, let us get the statute bovk, in which we find it, aud tear it out,” That is, if the Declaration of Independence does pot mean the equality of the negro with the white race, then Lincoln wants, to get bold of the statute book which contains the declaration and tear it to picces. Io what speech of Seward are such violent sentiments as these Tet forth? Where can anything be found to exceed them la the ferocious abolitioniem of Phillips or Garrison? But Lincoln does esd "e = f =e not content with simy equality. In his speech at Galesburg, October Tasee, he boldly declares that the constitution does not the right of property in slaves.

Life Around Our City Hall. MEETING OF THE FOURTH OF JULY OOMMITTEE—CBA- RACTERISTIC SCENES— ALMOST A FIGHT, ETC. A scene of by no means an unusual nature, though cer- tainly exciting and disgraceful, and by all means iptercst- ing character was enacted in the quiet committee room of our v ‘able city fathers yesterday afternoon. The oc- cosion 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 Jott Committee, which was one o'clock in the afternoon, Alderman Platt, the Chairman, and aquerum of the committee were present. At this juncture, and ag the business of the meeting was about to proceed, Councilman Hogan, the Chairman of the Coun- cilmen’s committee, ebtered the room without his coat, with a tremulous lip and other symptoms of interval agi- atin. He stood on the side o! tho table around which ‘the committee were seated, opposite to the chairman, and while in this posture was aahed by Aiderman Smith why he bad his coat off, to which he replied that he did not ‘want his coat then Immediately afterwares Alderman Piatt 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 taid it on he table with violence, and demanded the foiiowing:— Councilman Hocix—I want to know whetber [am a map or a louse. Look at that and tell me if Tam a man ora louse, say. [Here Mr. presented ‘he paper he beid in his hand, to Alderman Piatt, from » whow; bow. ever, he received no reply of any kind.) “We.,’’ con- tinued the woruy Councilman, ‘well, you are @ joafer.”? ‘Still no reply was the Councilman now step- afew from the chairman and repeated, in a loud ‘voice, whiel much apger, “ Well, you area loafer, and @ damped 82 loafer. Alderman Plat now returned sharply, though in a sub- dued voice, ‘I take that irom whence it comes.” ‘The greatest sensation and silence now prevailed in the roou for a moment or two, every one presen’ being ia the evident expectation that a ght would be the immedin'o cousequen2e of these repeated cous) is.

Tt is amusing to witness the tortures of the republicans in their vain endeavors to make a hero out of Abe Lincoln. Not ess (han seven different incideat hunters aud glory manufacturers have already been bere, industrious!y try ing to fish up something out of his past career for cam- paign Duncombe. Their disappointment is painful. We beard one of these romancers ask a chum last night, “Have you got hold of anything interesting yet?” “No,” was the reply, ‘not a damned thing.” On the other hand, those who waut to abuse Lincoln are equally 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 dea) ‘of fun, without any bad qualities to detract from the ep- Joyment one finds in his wociety. 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 berovs are made; for, though his 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 twu, but his exceasive leanners gives an cxaggerated impression of his height. He looks as lean, and jong, and lank, and crooked as are those specimen rails of his own eplitting. He is as straggling and awkward in his gait as Horace Greeley, while bis whole appearance is more grotesque, in consequence of the remarkable disproportion between the length of his arms abd bis body. But bis legs are a match for bis 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 coukd not have the slightest difficulty in stepping™from » (wo story window to tlie ground atany time. By the way, it was not the State House from which Abe jumped; the State House was not then built, and the Legislature assembled in the old Baptist church, The Sergeant-at-Arms had been sent for Lineolp, and when he had been brought in and the front door locked, he jumped out of one of the buck windows and took to bis heels. When the dismayed Serguant.at Arms was commanded to follow bim aud bring him back | again, he exclaimed, “My God! gentlemen, do you kiw what you ask? Think of the length of Abe's legs, and } then tell me how I am to catch him.”* | Mr. Lincotu is a man of the most abstemious and ex emplary habits. He neither smokes, por chews, nor drinks, nor ewears. He is an affctionate husband, the | most indulgent of fathers, a kind neighbor, and a clever | fellow generally. As a lawyer be is respectable, bat has. never been considered as first class. Sivee his nomination he has a new suit of clothes, and is evidently trying to brush Limseif up a litte; but he never can doit, A suit | of new and awkward body of Abe Lincoln's has alre of wear and decay in every thread. If it came trom the shop the day before yesterday, it will look aa it had been hung in the cornfields for a scarecrow b he day after to-morrow.

It is without much cultivation, t naterally inclined to impractical abstractions, and very apt to get straddle of hobbier, and very apt to keep straddie uf them, 100, to the latter end. His course in Congress on the Mexican war was evidence of that; for though his friends here warned him that he would destroy hunself in his trict, he still persisted until be did destroy him. so that, at the end of his first term, he sank inv ote political oblivion, where he lay almost entirely com) hidden froin public view until the Senatorial campaign of 1468, when he was bronghit oot partly in conseqacnee of real political ability he is of rep is State after the ; ie no denying the more ratlical in the abolition doo Councilman Hocax—You are a damned loafer, and if you were not you would come out here and show it.

Here the silence of the room again followed, like the Jull in the storm, till the squall came on again. Councilman Hooax—I will not meet with any such damned joafer as you are, damm you.

Councilman Hogan now put on the coat of which he had divested himeelf, and re- cated to himsel, im a kind audib!e mono- ogue— Meet with such a damned loafer like that!® Then, advancing to the table a second time flung a paper down upon it, and walked towards the door with a face well calculated w portray rage tinged slightly with disappointment. Alderman Platt now directed the clerk of the committce to read the communications, ifany had been received, but before the order had time to be read Conpcilm.n Hogay returned to the charge and said loudly, “You loafer you! if I was well tho other day I would bave thrashed you anyhow.” Alderman Piatt, (cmphatically)—I don't know about Aud then turning that—it may be matter of opinion.” to the clerk, he continued, “Go on with the communica- vious.” The clerk proceeded to read, but before the frst line Was announced he was again interrupted by Council 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 Pings Tad meet with a damned loafer like you. I am a man erever Iam, either here or anywhere clae. ‘This was the finale of 2 ecene which lasted for about five minutes, and caused ove continuous sensation during that time, The rest of the members of the Common Council were remarkably quict—like a else pre- font—while the scone lasted, leaving the eld entirely in the posacesion of the two combatants whe had seized tlhe pfinetpie taught by the Séagey wich aye. pre elbie prine! % by the a says “pra dence is the better of valor.” "This row was cansed by Alderman Platt (either inadvertently or otherwise) neglecting to put Mr. Hogan’s name on one of the sub- committees, aud a him Sz off from which he la! all chance of spotty. upon the table, it be well add, was a list of the names ap- puinted on sub committees. When the tragquillity of the meeting wus restored, the Clerk ouce more renewed his at to read the com- raunication, and finally succeeded.

Comasenion.—In yeaterday's edition, under the head of 5 Sanitary Condition of New York City. The city of New York never was bealtbier, compara- tively speaking, than {t is at the presemt time. Our sab- urban friends appear to be aware of t, 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 in a hurry to leave town a8 long aw the weather remains reasonably cool. The watering places are doing but a limited business as yet, and along the sgq ‘sbore they are almost tenanticas. In illustration of the assertion made in another part of this article, a8 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 ending June 23, ‘1860—last week—the deaths were only 831, a balance ow doth the former years in favor 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 gratify ing state of affairs is explained on a twofold hypothesis—viz: the City Inspector has been unremitting in his efforts to rid the city Of mbiganees, and has kept & large force of street sweepers at work; and secondly, the copiows showers of rain within the past two weeks bag carried into the street sewers all the minute particles of ‘Vegetable matter not accessible to the efforts of the “hoe and broom brigade,”” STATEMENT OF WORK DONE IN THE CITY INSPEC* = pA nicnatcsg YOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE Abatement of Nuisances.—Complaints of nuisances re- ceived, 204; notices for the abatement of do., served, 210; notices for abatement of do., previously served, | 285: sinks and water closets cleaned, 347; number of loads of night soil removed from the city limits, 1,703; number of horses do., forty-three: number of cows dd., five; number of dogs and small animals, 181; number ‘of barrels of offal, 1,615.
