Mr. Lincoln was not a member of the house of representatives when war was declared against Mexico. Jle took his seat in December, 1847, and, consequently, had no opportunity to vote but in a single instance, on a bill to provide supplies for the army. The bill referred to was to "raise for a limited time an additional military force," which was rendered necessary by the expiration of the term of service of several thousand volunteers. The bill, which was known as the "Ten Regif ment bill," passed the senate on the 18th of March.

out passion, discuss the welfare and true happiness of our country. The time has come to organize in every county in the state a systematic and continuous series of township meetings. Whether the meetings are likely to be large or small, our best men must turn out and address the people with earnest good sense. The fewer democrats there are in a township, the greater necessity there is for able speaking, that we may make more. Let no man hope hereafter to be called a good democrat or a friend of Judge Douglas, who refuses to go before our ward and township meetings and work for the cause.

Hereafter the men who seek opportunities to get to address largo meetings, to get their names in papers, will be set aside for tho men who put their shoulders to the wheel and do the work. Men begin to understand that a desire to address thousands is often a desire to profit self while all know that to spcrk to huudreds in a country school bouse can alone originate in a desire to aid the cause. Let every speaker, then, who cither loves the cause or desire to be thought to love it, buckle on the harness for the work of the campaign. There must be no repose from this till the election.

But, if hostilities had continued, our army in Mexico would have been seriously crippled in consequence of the refusal of congress to grant the additional military force promptly.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following remarks upon the recent elections: FIGHT OS, FIGHT EVER. "Let not him that putteth on his armor boast as be that putteth it is an old and wise remark, ana we would recommend it to tho republicans about this time.

They are not yet through with tho battle; and -though they have gained some advantages, yet armies with better prospects of victories than you are now rejoicing over, have, in the end, been put to rout and ingloriously beaten. The victory is not yet yours, nor do we think it will be. We have full confidence that there is yet enough love of country and good sense left, to defeat, at tho polls, any and all purely sectional candidates. We have no doubt, if the democracy and the union men unite in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, they can carry all these states. This one fact must be borne in mind.

In Indiana, the Ilreckinridgo men, numbering, it is supposed, some ten or twelve thousand, voted, four out of five, for the republican state ticket, and for republi-cdh members of congress. They voted that way to prevent the democracy claiming a Douglas victory, had the. democratic ticket been elected. These will now have a separate electoral ticket in November, and will withdraw from the republican party? the strength it gave it on Tuesday last. The same was the case in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where the Breckinridge men will have a separate electoral and by so much diminish the strength exhibited by the republicans at the late elections.

In New York there is a perfect union, and most determined effort will be made to carry the state against Lincoln. Democrats should, therefore, go to work and prepare for the great fight of November. Let each one have the consolation of reflecting that, come what may, he hns performed his whole duty to his country. If darkness shall enshroud it, and calamity befall it from the election of a sec-tionalist, let him vote so hii. skirts will be clear of any offense.

Up, then, democrats, and continue the contest with unabated vigor. A Heautlful Kulogy. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the eloquent Georgian, in a recent speech at Atlanta, closed with the following eloquent tribute to the greatness of Judge Douglas: 'Stephen A.

'Douglas standi to-day, like Saul among the prophets, a head and shoulder above any man in the government.
