LL the Lincoln items herewith given are scarce, (even the speech by Mr. Hazleton, though printed only two years ago) the Workingman's Ideas of Conscription' especially so, as it was published as a broadside, and the paper in which it origin ally appeared is almost unknown, and the address by Dr.' Parker, of Lowell, has never appeared before, except. In the newspaper which reported it.
Mr. Hazleton's speech is especially interesting, as he was pre sent during the sessions Of the famous Convention of 1 860, which nominated Mr. Lincoln. Few, if any, others of that memorable occasion can be living now, and it is fortunate for history that such a full, animated and accurate story of the event has been given permanent form.
