Lincoln's Harangues. All impartial observers express but one sentiment about Lincoln's speeches, and that is profound contempt and disgust. The Republicans have been imposed upon by a counterfeit article. His intentions are honest enough; he means to do the worst they can desire, but still, they have aspirations after dignity, and he is evidently a very vulgar and indecent old man.Seward, Sumner and others, though themselves of obscure origin have enough of the imitative qualities of that African race whose cause they especially espouse, to catch something of polish by attrition with good society, though none of them are equal in this respect to a well-bred Virginia family servant. In the presence of the old aristocracy of the North, these political adventurers were never able to bear themselves with a perfect air of dignity and self-respect, though to do them justice, they know what is right, and come as near it in externals as possible.--Hence, they are horribly mortified by

and enthusiastic expression of praise and admiration of the great address of the Commissioner of South Carolina to the Virginia Convention. It was worthy of his heroic and noble State, worthy a Preston, worthy the blood of Patrick Henry, worthy the great occasion.--Patriotism, passion, power, poetry, were all combined in this magnificent effort. At one time, the whole audience was in tears. Some of these were men of iron, unused to the melting mood, but the Prophet had struck the Rock, and streams of sympathy gushed forth. Greater even than the potent sway of the Orator, was the influence of his sincerity, his manliness, his purity and elevation of character. No politician, however gifted, no man who had ever been at all in public life, could have so captivated the confidence and respect as well as the passions of an audience. Can Virginia turn her back upon this great, disinterested, unselfish soul, and be beguiled to her destruction by the smooth seductions of Wm. H. Seward?

all she wants is an excuse for staying in. Something will be done to allay the weak sensibility which has replaced in the present generation the high sense of honor and of right which distinguished the heroes of old. The organization of the Seward-Douglas Andy Johnson-Union party goes bravely on, and the work for the next Congressional campaign in Virginia and Tennessee is already cut and dried here. Southern-Rights' men are no match for this coalition, as they will find next Spring. Seward is going to play the oiliest and sweetest of games. I hear that he will have all the forts vacated as soon as Lincoln is inaugurated. Oh! how the people of Virginia will love him in less than a year form this date. President Davis' inaugural excites general admiration. My lord, the king Abraham, is improving some what in his itinerant tunable. At Buffalo and at Albany, he exhibited faint rays of intelligence, which would not have disgraced a cultivated orang-utans. He bids fair to
