. . . the name of our worthy Vice President, is one that is not continually resounded throughout the land. He is an unassuming man. “But (Says a correspondent) his wise counsel is of great service to the Cabinet, and is highly valued by the president. He is the power behind the throne – the chosen associate of President Lincoln. Besides this, Mr. Hamlin is admired by all who know him for his kindliness of way and well-bred manners.”
