I wish tbat all our Republi*
can friends, wbo bave not seen our next
President, could look upon bis tall forw «fed
speaking face for oace. Many of tbem wcnAd
bave a mistake corrected into wbioh •Ny
have vsry naturally fallen, fie bap been so
often represented as not a handsome man
that many have come to regard bim as posi
tively ogly. On the contrary, he bas one of
tbe most interesting faoes tbat a thoughtful
observer oould look upon. Look at bim phy
siologically, and if you do not believe in the
nioutiae of phrenology, just borrow enough
of it to give you a convenient nomenclature
and to systematise your observation*. You
find a brain large proportionately to tbe great
bony frame. But it is not a brain tbat adds
to its site, as is frequently tbe case with great
brains, by buge additions in tbe region of
Destruotivenees, and those other lower pro
pensities lying in its neighborhood. It tow
ers high above tbe ears, large as those or
gans are and should be to bear the will and
tbe wants of the great people he is to govern
—showing full development of the religious,
tbe moral and tbe governing organs. Ton
come forward to tbe reQectivc and perceptive
organs and you see enough to make an ama
teur phrenologist go into ecstacies. Full,
large, sharply-cut and well defined, you finl
all you could desire to form a ready calcula
tor, a logical, orderly and systematic thinker,
and a forcible reasoner. And then look at
bis temperament: Bilious predominates, of
course, as it does in all those men who are
rulers born, whether in tbe domain of thought
or of politics but there*is a fine cross of tbe
nervous in Mr. Lincoln whioh gives great
firmness and activity to his mental manifesta
tions. It is tbe temperament of Lord Brough
am, only there is a shade less of thenervou*
which takes away that restlessness and fidgit
iveness characteristic of the noble lord.—
Brougham's brain is always aotive, but al
ways restless and uneasy. Lincoln's is al
ways aotive, but none of its foroe is con
sumed by its wasting uneasinose.
