The fact is a little remarkable that among the many creditable speeches made at the court house on Wednesday, the 11th inst,, commemorating the 1 life' and char acter of Hon. Je fferson Davis that no speaker mentioned ihe name of In's distinguished opponent i: the struggle for independence. Kz: President Abraham Lincoln, of the' Lnion. Yet lhe> antithesis in the lives of these two remarkable men was as vivid as the struggle was unequal. Davis was a Kentuckian by birth; so was Lincoln, but from thence the path of life for them is widely divergent. The early years of Lincoln were spent in the rud¬ est kind of farm life, and at very hard labor. Indeed, he was a renowned rail splitter when he had attained man hood, and when he became'as the successful candidate of a purely sectional party, quite as much a Union splitter, the picloral papers produced a striking and significant caricature in which Lincoln, the President -elect, was pictured as a wedge in a gaping log and Wm. il. Seward mauling away on him. while below appeared the words: •fit hurts mightily Seward, but 1 giiess 1 can stand it.” To return to his early history: He worked on the farm and stud¬ ied by lire light, finally taught school, then studied law. went into politics, got into the Slate Legisla¬ ture and finally into <’ongress. Later he opposed the great Ste¬ phen A Douglas for the Senate, but was defeated, il was in this campaign, however, that he show¬ ed to the world, and especially' to his party, that lie was a man of power. His contests on the stump as a campaign competitor of Doug las were indicative of the highest order of talent for going before tlie people. This plain, 1ml earnest man, was Ldeetc-i by tlv rapidly growing Republican party to tie their standard-bearer, and lie was se- 1 acted. The history of those eventful years of the war between the States proved that the selection was a good one. lie was a man of great decision °‘ character, of eminent executive He had a slirewd under standing of men. Inthis he had ■*'n trained in a better school than Davis had. He was a rough rr , h.n. . ., *»an, ^ a ,be . m aim , f'“."'"‘atiuc ..(^ »< and < n 0 1 * n im(1; served one or moo' t<‘. nis in ,e House ol aiepiO.-.ontatiAefc al d ashington.

He wa- ever a course, almost vulvar man, but l.miealn this rugged exterior tneie was a large, honest neart, and ail backed . , by a sound judg..i nt. Mr. Lincoln and Alex Ii. S.e phens belonged to the same semoo. ot politicians, and to tneir mie- 1 movements carried with them the power of adaptation to the circle or any circle into which they were thrown.

Davis never had a treasurer or financier. Lincoln was nearly as unfortunate M getting a commander of the Union forces. If the contrast in the lives of these men was great, their deaths were -i jj! more distinct and unlike, and . Lincoln wa a g-w-o man a great one, hut of that politica, bias that made him easily mJiu enced by those in whom, he .mu confidence.
