Robert Lincoln.
A Home journal notes that a familiar name is <re-appearing m the political annals of America. The son of Abraham Lincoln is following in* his fathei's steps along the pathway of power. He has not beon an ambitious man. He has not courted office ; office has sought him. For many years he resolutely held aloof from politics that he might not receive honours given merely, as a tribute to the memory of his . father ; but at last he was forced to accept a place i intheCabinet as Secretary of War. There he has qhown. hiraseif bold, honest/ And able. He has been proof .against all influences qf corruption, and has impressed every-? ono by his integrity as well as his power. Now he has been nominated as a candidato for the Vice-Presidency by the Republican party, and his name is sure to qttach those wrho remember how m by gone years it was the rallying point of those who m the gloomiest" hour of their national life still kept up hope, believing that the cause of freedom and justice could not be crushed for ever, and that to the just, light would arise out of darkness*. If successful now, Robert Lincoln may preside' over the Union which his father preserved.
