MR. LINCOLN'S POSITION.
We presume all conflicting rumors respecting the views entertained by Mr. Lincoln as to the duty of the Republicans in the present crisis, will be set at rest by the publication of the following paragraph which appeared a few days since at the head of the editorial columns of the New York Tribune:
"We are enabled to state in the most positive terms, that Mr. Lincoln is utterly opposed to any concession or compromise that shall yield one iota of the position occupied by the Republican party on the subject of Slavery in the Territories, and that he stands now, as he stood in May last, when he accepted the nomination for the Presidency, square upon the Chicago Platform."
