Iloraee Qreeley nominated Linco'n: Lincoln is peculiarly bis candidate. la a letter dated Julf, I860, to Washington Hunt, Qreeler fA U. r..lh,minr laniruaue: Bievinjr slavery to be a flirraiit violation of the inalienable rights of man. a burniup re- proach to oar country, an enemr to her p of parity and pri?rSi in art, iutelligence and ciili2i lion, I inVan to lahtir for its eradication from our own and all other countries so long as I live." In December, -1859 soon after John Browns execution, Greeley published in the New York Tribune without comment or an "ork tf disap probation whatever, a letter from Theodore Parker, dated November 21, 1859; in which he lays d wn Gve ''axiomatic principles." thus: 1. A man held against hU will as a slave ha a natural right to kill (rvry one who seeks to prevent his ej'ymnt of liiierty. 2. It may be a natural duty of the slave to develop this natural right in a practical manner, and actually kill ail th'e who seek to preveot hi e.j vmeit of liberty. "h freman have a natural right to help th s'ave rcovffr tbir libertv. and in that enterprise t do for them all which they have a rigLt to do for themselves. -'i 4. It. mar be a nitoril dntr for the freeman . to kelp the slaves t the enj yinftit of their lit-ertr. and a means to that end, to aid them in killing all iiuch as opoose their natural freedom. v 5. The performance of thin duty iii to be con-tr tllt-d hv th freemen's pwer and opportunity to help the flaves. Theaei Points Mr. Parker ill jt rates, and he remarks, after settiug them forth. . These five maxims have a direct application to Amenaa at this day, and the people , of the Free Stte have a certain l i n prcption thereof, which, fjrtuoatelr, is becoming clearer everj rear. . As to tbi sympitby ofl'ii people of the North with servile insurrectioti, Mr. Parker says; The first successful attempt ""of a considerable nam her of slaves to eeenre their freeuom by vio-Irnce will clewrlt show how deep is tbe sympathy of the people f r them, an J how strongly they embrace tbe five principles I mentioned a-bove. A little success of that sort wilt serve as priming ut tbe popular cannon; it is already loaded. Ia conclasion, Mr. Parker pronounces J hn Brown's invasion of Virginia, a s access. Spenks X1 of bim tc terms of admiration, and naues hioi among tbe martrrs. lie says: None of the Christian martyrs died in vain ; and from Stephen, who was stoned at Jerusalem to Mary Dver, whom oar farthers hanged on a bouh of "tbe green tr-e" on B istoa Common, 1 tbtnk there have been f-?w spirits more pnre and devoted than John Brown's and none thai give op tbeir breath in a nobler cause- Let the American State bang hia bwlr. tbe American Church dam his soul toilh U nsty breath of cur- ij. still the blessing of such as are read r to perish will fall on bim and the universal justice oi me laa.iiteiy perfect Uaa will take htm wel come bome.

HENRY WILSON SUPPORTS LINCOLN HIS RECORD. In a speech delivered some time since, to a Republican meeting in Massac bu setts, be said: "Let us remember that more than three millions of boudmen, groaning uuder nameless woes, demand that we shall cease to reprove each oth er, and that we labor for tbeir deliverance. : I tell roo here tu-oight. that tbe agitation of ibis quesuoo of human slavery will continue while the foot of a slave presses the soil of tbe Ameri can repuwic. We shall change tbe Sap.eme Court of. the United States, and place men in that Court who believe with its pure and immaculate Chiti Jus tice, John Jar, that our prayers will be impious to Heaven, while we sustain and support human slavery.

"It is our imperative business to abate nui sances. ' We believe tbat THIEVES are, aa a general rule.less amenable to tbe moral law than SLA V E- UOLDERS." SLAVEHOLDERS ARE MORE CRIMI NAL THAN COMMON MURDERERS." Slaveh alJers and slave traders are, as a gen eral thing, Hufit to occupy any honorable at si ton in life." "It is oar honest conviction that all tba pro. slavery slaveholders, who arc alone responsible tor the continuance of tba banei-il institution a mog as. deserve to be AT ONCE REDUCED TO A PARALLEL WITH THE BASEST CRIMINALS THAT LIE FETTEKED WITH IN THE CELLS OF OUR PUBLIC PRIS ONS." , -Were it possible that tba whole oomber lie. ot ttta slaveholders) coold be gathered together no snraasrervsi into foar eaaal ranrs of try Ii- 0 " THIEVES.

JACOB BRINKERHOFF SUPPORTS LIN-- COLN-HIS RECORD. Jacob Brinkerhoff, the Republican nominee for Supreme Judge of Ohio, ran in 1851, as the Abolitfoo candidate for Supreme Judge, upon a platform of which the following is oue of the resolutions : Resolved, Tbat the Fugitive Slave Law, enacted by the last Congress, is in derogaiiou of the genins of our free institutions, an uu warrantable encroachment upon the eovrrelgotjof the St tes, a violation of Ihe principles of natural and revealed religion, an . assumption of Legislative power, not constitutional, acd a monstrous exhi-biiioD of Itiranny. injustice- cruelty and oppres sion. WE WILL NOT REGARD IT AS OF ANY BINDING FORCE, OR EFFICACY WHATEVER. Li the language of Patrick Uerry we say, u If thir be treason, make the most of it." In Angnst, 1846, Jacob Brinkerboff, according to his own claim, drew op the original Wilmot Proviso, and banded it to David Wilmot lo be offered. . In 1848; Jacob Brinkerboff. being rejected by tbe Democratic party on account of bis Abolitionism, supported the Abolition candidal for the Presidency in opposition to General Caas and General Taylor, the Democratic and Whig nominees. . In 1851. Jacob Brinkerboff was the regular nominee of ihe Abolition party of Ohio for tbe Supreme Judgsbip of the State, against Allen G. Thurman, of Chillicotbe, and Peter Odlen, of Dayton, the regular Democratic and Whig nom- of which were cast on the Western Reserve. In 1852, he snpported John P. Hale, the Ab olition nominee for President. against Pierce and Scott, the Democratic aud Whig candidates for President. . He also supported and voted for Milton Su'Iiff, tbe Abolition nominee for Supreme J.udge, against Daniel A. Hsynes, of Dayton, and Wm. B. Caldwsll, of Cincinnati, tba Whig aud Democratic candidates. ' In 1853, he supported and voted for Samuel Lewis the AboHiion candida'te 'or Governor of Ohio, against Wm. Medill and Nelson Bar re re, the Democratic and Whig candidates. In 1855, he was the regular nominee of the first Black Republican Convention held in Ohio, for the office of Supreme Judge, on the same ticket wiib Salmon P. Chase. j In the spring of 1859, along with Sutliff, he concurred in a dissenting opinion; pronouncing tbe Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional, and of no force in Ohio. ' In ihe December term of 1859, of the Supreme Court, he along with Suiliff, pronounced an opinion on the right of allowing negro children to sit iii white schools on the same fooling with white children. :" . In the spring of 18C0. be delivered the opin ion, of tbe Supreme Court of Ohio, that a negro having less black blood t ban white, wasa'-wAi male citizen of ibe United State," and entitled to vote, aa well as all the other privileges of an elector.: : r'--'V'- CHARLES H. L NGSTON SUPFORTS LINCOLN HIS RECORD. Charlaa H. Latigston is a negro, one of the " visible admixture," who under the decision of Jacob Brinkerboff. is entitled to vote and all the privileges of an elector. The same Langston was one of the " Oberlin Rescuers;" in whose be half Brinkerhi.ff delivered bis M dissenting opinion,'" pronounced him yiee of all liability for bis forcible resistance to the Congressional laws of the Uuiled Slates, while under conviction for the same under the decision of tbe District Court of tbe United Slates. He is tbe same C. H. Langston of whom young John Browu, a son f ''old Ossawatamie Browu io a letter dated Andover, Ashtabula county, Sept. 2. .1859, referring to the Harper's Ferry raid, wrote as follows t "Mr. C. H. Langston will do all be cat here."-; Hd ia tbe tame Langston whom Copelaod,wbo was executed with old John Brown on the 2d of December, 1859, saw in Cleveland just before leaving for Harper's Ferry, and of whom Cope- land says in bis confession, a he (Longs ton) knew 1 was coming on to join Browa'a com pa. ny. He is the same Langston who said in a speech in Dayton en tbe 1st of August, I860: . M The whiles brooghl the African race here, be said, for their convenience, and made slaves of them; they had toiled for " two handred and fitly years; and now most of those who do not desire then keptia slavery wanted them removed to Africa or Central America, and colonized.

This ill be tbe fruition of true Republicanism t In regard to this speech, th Daton Gazelle, Angnst 3d, said : ' The Address of Mr. C. H.' Langston. a part of wbicb we heard, was able - and interesting, abounding in sharp points andwitty sayings." JOHN M. LANGSTON SUPPORTSLIN-COLN-HIS RECORD. John M. Langston is a brother of Ch as. Langs ton, also one of the visible admixture," and a practicing lawyer at Oberlio. He is the one to whom young John Brown wrote . in tbe letter above alluded to as follows : u John Langston of Oberlin, brother of Charles H. Langston, sympathises strongly and wilt work bard. Plumb al so I think." ? v. ; This same J. M. Langston is now stamping over Ohio for Lincoln and Brinkerboff, as will appear from the following notice, which appear ed In the Toledo Blade, (Republican paper) of Angust 7th, 1 860 : " J, M. Langston. Esq., who is now speaking in Illinois, will be here and address the citizens to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. L. is the only colored lawyer we have in ihe State. He practices at the Lorain. Bar j he is a graduate' of Uberlin Institute, and is ad :tted by all who have beard him, to be equal to the best in the country. - :. '.-..- His address will be upon the Antrslavery en terprise and general political topics of the day. uuizens generally are invited to attend. Mr. Yancey's Calculationi. : Mr. Yancey, in bis - speech the other day at Hnntsville, said : "The contest in 1858 was barely won bra united Democracy. We are now divided have only 1.27 votes tbe whole Southern Statet, with Uregon and California divided between Breckinridge, Douglas and Bell." Thus we see, says the Vicksbnrgb Citizen, that the leader of ihe Breckinridge party, the man who played the part in the disruption of the De Jiocracy at Charleston and Baltimore, now pro- cl aims tbat very disruption as evidence that the Democracy will bejde&aied, and !' join will be ibe while in the nodisguved idea that this result will and must rend tbe 'Union in twain. He hirks he sees at last, on'y a little way in the fu- tuge, the consummation of the measure in which his whole heart has been bound up for years, and his soul revels and riots in the fiendish joy. Sew York GUea Up.-In a leading article, tbe New Yrk Evening Post, a zealous Bepublican paper,- thus despair ingly pres -ots the condition of Republican enthusiasm": We may as well let it be known far and wide, that New York is lost to the Repnbli can cause." And in the same article it says " Neither Seward nor his friends, nor all tbeir speeches and entreaties, will avail to make the people wake from the apathy which now pervades the State." This from the Post, which is not a giving up sheet, speaks significantly of tbe low fortnues of the Lincoln causa in the great State of New York. Eepublican Finance ering. We see by an advertisement in the Columbus papers, that the Republican State officers want to borrow SIX MILLIONS FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. Tbna it will be seen tbat tbe State Debt of Ohio is to be coctinned under Republican, financeeiing. Complimentary to Bell Hen. " - The Xnia News, a Republican paper, pays this compliment to the Bell mes :. "Bat we can't speak so favorably of the Bell and Everett leaders. A more corrupt set of po litical bar lots never existed. They riot in swmd ling and moral debauchery of every aort." The Bell men will, undoubtedly, feel thankful for this compliment. . '' - . ' Explanation Wanted. Mr. Hamlin, the Republican candidate for Vice President, is said to be about to take ihe stump in Pennsylvania. - We trust that be will tell the people all about that $7,000 lobby fee ; and further trust that if he does pot do so volun tarily the people will demand of htm the needed explanation.'. r . . - - mm - .Tnrkey Pretty well Armed.

Patrick Maher fire Tbe Clerk makes the following statement: The Lady Elgin left the port of Chicago at balf-past eleven o'clock for Lake Superior. Among the passengers were the Union Guards of Milwaukee, composing part of some two hundred, and fifty .excursionists from that city. About half-past two o'clock this morning the schooner Augusta, from Oswego, came in collision with the Lady Elgin when about ten miles from shore . The vessel struck the steamer mid ships gangway on the larboard side. The two separated instantly and the Augusta drifted by in tbe darkness. At the time of the collision there was music and dancing in the foward cab in. In an instant after the crash all Was still, and in half an hour tbe steamer sunk. I pass, ed through the cabins. Tbe ladies were pale, but silent; there was not a cry nor , shriek; no sound but the rush of steam and the surge of heavy seas. Whether they were not fully aware of tbeir danger, or whether their appalling situa tion made them speechless, I cannot tell.: A boat was lowered at once with the design of go iog round -Upon the larboard side to examine tbe leak. There were two oars, but just at that moment some person possossed himself of one of them and we were left powerless, to manage the boat. We succeeded once in reaching the wheel, bat were drifted away and thrown upon the beach at Winetka. Only two boats left tbe steamer, one ofthera contained, thirteen persons, all whom were saved; other bore eight but four reached the shore alive, others being drowned at the beach. Before I left the steamer the engine bad ceased to work, the fires having been extinguish ed and within thirty minutes the Lady Elgin disappeared The, force;" and direction of tb wind was such that the -boats and fragments of the" wreck were driven np tbe lake and would reach the shoreTo the vicinity of Winetka. As I stood upon the- beach helpless! v looking back along ihe route we had drifted, I could see in the gray of the-morntng, objects floating upon the water and sometimes I thought human be ing straggling with ths aves. . - - Signed.-- H.

No accurate list or number of persons on board can be given, but the following estimate is nearly correct : Excursion party, 300 ; regular passengers, 50 J steamer's crew, 35 ; of these but 98 are saved. - . Capt. Malott, of tbe Schooner Augusta, in his statement says when he discovered the steamer's lights both red and white, he supposed it to be from quarter to half a mile distant, and steering between north and northeast. It was raining very hard at the time. He says : M We kept our vessel on her course east by south until we saw a collision .robable, when we put helm hard up and struck tbe steamer, two or three minutes afterwards just abaft tbe paddle box, on the port aide. The steamer kept on her course, the engine being in fuU motion and headway, the Au. gusta swung around to the north side of the steamer. We got seperatedf in about a minute when the Augusta fell into a trough fn tbe sea; all the head geer, the jib boom and staucbes were carried away. We took in sail and cleared away the anchor supposing the vessel would fill. After clearing up the wreck, we got up the foresail. We succeeded in getting before the . wind and stood for land. We soon lost sight of the steam-er. - -""' - . - r- " " Bee man, the second mate of the steamer, In nve nnimwniw .-n. n . i. ... , one point eff port bdw.

We were steering North-west by West, a point to the windward. The course of tbe wind at that time was North west. After striking us, the vessel htfug for a moment and then got clear. I went below to see what damage was done, and when I got back the vessel was gone. When intelligence of tbe loss of tbe steamer wflh the excursion party reached Milwaukee yesterday, it spread like wildfire throughout the city. The telegraph office was thronged all day with relations and friends of those on board, many of which were presented with despatches in tearsy and the most intense anxiety and exchemeot was manifested in the countenances of all. In tbe first ward of that cfty, ft is said tbat there is scarcely a house or place of business' that has tot lost some inmate or employee.

Mr. Bancroft paid glowing tribute to the State' . and spoke eloquently of the gallantry and patriotism of Com. Perry.
