Scarcely had Lincoln
leached Coles County, *n«l l>egun to

to, when he received a visit lroin
a famous wrestler, one Daniel Need- j
ham, who regarded him as a grow-
ing rival, ami had a fancy to try
him a fall or two. He considered
liimself "the best man" in the countiy,
and the report of Abe's achievements
filled his big breast with envious pains.
His greeting was friendly and hearty,
but his challenge was rough and per-
emptory. Abe valued his popularity
among the boys" too highly to de-
cline it and met him by public appoint-
ment in the "greenwood," at Wabash
Point where he threw him twice with
so much ease that Needham s pride

twice, but you can't whip me. Need-
ham," replied Abe, "are you satls"e'!
that I can throw you? If you are ■
and must be convinced through a
threshing, I will do that, too, for your
sake " Needham had hoped that the
youngster would shrink from the ex-
tremity of a light with the aeknowl-
ilged "buily of the patch;" but finding
him willing, and at the same time
magnanimously inclined io *h.p him

that a bloody nose and a black e>e

One day an old Indian

cried out, "This is cowardly on your
part, Lincoln!" Whereupon the tall
captain's figure stretched a few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have mur-
dered a defenceless old Indian, and
now quailed before his single hand.,
with lofty contempt. The oldest of his
acquaintances, even Bill Green, who
saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and
defy the bullies at his back, never saw
I him so much "aroused" before. if
i any man thinks I am a coward, let
him test it," said lie. "Lincoln," re- .
sponded a new voice, "yon are larger ,
I and heavier than we are. Hiis you

Whatever may be said of Mr. Lin- |
coln'B choice of means for the preser- I
vation of military discipline, it was |
certainly very effectual in this case.
There was no more disaffection in his
camp, and the word "coward" was j
never coupled with his name again, j
Mr. Lincoln understood his men bet-
ter than those who would be disposed ,
to criticise his conduct. He has often I
declared himself, that his life and I
character were both at stake and j
would probably have been lost, had he
not at that supremely critical moment
forgotten the officer and asserted the
man. To have ordered the offenders
under arrest would have created a
formidable mutiny; to have tiled and
punished them would have been im-
possible. They could scarcely be call-
ed soldiers; they were merely armed ,
citizens, with a nominal military or- j
ganization. They were but recently
enlisted, and their term ot service ^
was just about to expire. Had he
preferred charges against them, and
offered to submit their differences to
| a court Of any sort, it would have
- I been regarded as an act of petsonal
I pusillanimity, and his efficiency would
I have been gone forever.

^ INCOLN'S unique methods
(\JfW of campaigning are thus
' described by an eye-wlt-
ness This was on the oc-
casion of his first nomlna-
tion as a legislative candi-
Cy* date:
"Mr. Lincoln's first aP*
pearance on the stump, in t.he
course of the canvass, was at
Pappsville, about eleven miles west,
of Springfield, upon the ceaS10
of a public sale by the firm of
Poog &. Knap. The sale over, speec -
making was about to begin, when Mr.
Lincoln observed strong symptoms of
inattention in h|$ audience, ^ 1 ^
taken that particular moment to en-
gag,. in what Mr. James A. Herndon
pronounces 'a general tight.' Lincoln
saw that one of his friends was suffer-
ing more than he liked in the melee „
and, stepping into the crowd he
l; shouldered them aternly away nom
his man, until he m< t a tellow who r •
fused to fall back; him he seized by
the nape of his neck and t e
his breeches, and tossed him
twelve feet easily.' After tins episode
—as characteristic of him as of
times-he mounted the platform, and
delivered, with awkward modesty, the
following speech: T
'"Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens,

of a national bank. 1 am in favor of
the internal-improvement system and
a high protective tariff. These are my
sentiments and political principles. I
elected, I shall be thankful; if not, it
will he all the same.'
"In these few sentences Mr. l^™1"
adopted the leading principle of tha
Whig party-Clay's American Sys
tem' in full. In his view, as we shall
see by another paper from him when
again a candidate in 1834, the internal-
improvement system required the at-
tribution of the proceeds of the **iB%

nullification, of disunion; and on these
aub)ecta it is quite probable his views
were like Mr. Webster's, and his sym-
pathies with Jackson. The "P'nionH

touched by the peaker, *
