Ord ABE AS A LEGISLATOR.—wThO only legislative enact- ment which ever found its orign in the brain of A. Lin- coln wasa law passed by the Legislature of Iinois in 1884, when Abe was 8 representative from Sangamon county, to authorize Samuel Musick to construct a tol) bridge over Salt creek. The toll bridge was built, but it is eaid that Mr. Musick never collected the first red cent of toll, for the simple reason that everybody could ford the creek, Axormmn Posrussren ror Dovdiss.—The Easton (Pa.) Argus, edited by Wm. H. Hutter, Postmaster at Easton, has hoisted the Donglas and Johnson ticket at its head, and states that the four democratic journals of Northamp- ton county will all sustain it. BReckRIDGR If Pawwsrivayia,—Tho Reading Gazette places the name of Breckinridge and Lane at the head of the editorial column, and promises an earnest and cordial support of that ticket, - The editor, however, in defining ‘his position, makes the following qualification» Meanwhile, we deem it but right to declare our witling- to acquiesce in that respondent of the Charleston Mercury tells the following story :— Mr. M., who is a true has in his possession s ‘of Abrabam Lincola, with whom he is well and iliarly acquainted.

Isaac Toucey, Secretary of the Navy, bad recommended the Connecticut democracy to support Douglas, is pro nounced a fabrication. Keyrccxy Jovryats,—Twelve of the democratic papers in Kentucky have pronounced for Breckinridge and four for Douglas. There are a number yet on the fence, among which are the Bardstown Gazdle and Owensboro Demo- crat. ‘Tun Canpipares wy ConGresa.—The five candidates for President and the four for Vice-President have been i Congress, and all except Lincoln have been in the Sonate Of the United States.

Not declared, twenty. ‘Texwmeae.—In Tennessee sixteen democratic papers have run up the Breckinridge ticket; two have indicated & preference for Douglas. Eleven others are yet unde- cided.

Ax Iypevexpest Jocrxat vor Bett axp Evanett.—Tho New Orleans Crescent, which has heretofore stood aloof from the various political organizations, bas now come out for the Union candidates. I} says:— The only way for the present contest to have been con- dueted, with any hope of euecess, was by means of a cor- jal union of the conservative men of all parties, North fe South, and without regard to their former political associations. upon & common ticket. It was with this view that we urged, on several occasions, before and af- ‘ter the meeting of the Charleston Convention, that such a union be effected upon the ticket of Bell and Everett, al- ready before the people. The proposition was scarcely noticed by the democracy, or, if noticed, only with de- rision. It now being manifest that there can be no com- bination, either upon Beli and Everett, or upon either of the democratic candidates—and that the conservative forces of the country, deplorable as is the fact, are to be divided among three or four candidates—we are left to the necessity of making choice among those already in the field. In this condition of affairs we do not hesitate to declare our unqualified preference for Bell and Rverett. We are willing to sacrifice something of our party predi- lections to the cause of the South and the Union, and 80 expressed ourselves. But when such sacrifice, as is now plainly the case, would not accomplish the object of concentrating the whole conservative strength of na. tion upon ingle ticket, we are remanded to our original posi Agreeing as we do, in the main, with the poiit ‘ine: and policy advocated by John Beil and Bi Pverett, we shall labor, with whatever of ability and zeal we may have, for their elevation to the high ponitions for which they have been nominated A Comrrosimk Prorowep.—The Savannah Kepublican, opposition, proposes the following compromise in order to defest both Dougias and Lincoln: — Let Breckinridge and Lane both withdraw from the contest; let Mr. Bell do the same thing, leaving Edward Everett the compromise candidate for the Vice Premi- dency. Then let a Southern democrat head the ticket. ‘We know bat one who, in all respects, availability in claded, is fitted for the post, and that is Hon. James I Hammond, of South Carolina.
