down. have given it in his own language
| a. reported by himself According to Mr..
Lincoln this government cannot endure in
the same condition in which our fathers
| made il, to wit divided into free States and
| slave States. He says it must be all one
thing or all the other; that is, the States
must all become free or become slave, or the
Union cannot endure. From his argument
! it appears that it is the great mission Of the
Black Republican party to carry on . sect
| ional warfare Of the North against the South
until one section or the other shall be sub
dued, and all the States become free or all
slave. Now I suppose that is the mission
OF the Black Republican party, does not
Mr.. Lincoln by that proposition endorse ev-
read it at Ottawa, and have read it here
to-day. What is that creed! Let US read
it agaiu and see what it is that they have
pledged themselves to do. First" 10 bring
the administration OF the government back
to the control Of first principles and restore
Kansas and Nebraska to the position Of free
territories" Well, If M. Lincoln succeeds
in making the government all one thing or
all the other, Why Of course Kansas and Ne
braska will be fixed a. free territories. Sec
ond, ITO repeal and entirely abrogate the
fugitive slave law" If Mr. Lincoln sue
ceeds in maxim. the States oil free Q fugi.
tive slave law will not be necessary. Third,
to restrict slavery to those States in which
it exists" IF Mr.. Lincoln succeeds in ma
king the States all free, the restriction will
be complet:. Fourth, to prohibit the ad-
mission fany more slave States into the
Union" OF course, il Mr. Lincoln succeeds
in carrying out his idea Of uniformity, the
States will be all free. and any more slave
States impossible. Fifth, "to exclude sla-
very from oil the Territories over which the
General Government has exclusive jursdc-
ton, and to resist the acquisition Of any
more territory unless the introduction Of
slavery therein forever shall have been pro-
hbited." II he establishes his uniformity
principle and makes all the States free, sla-
very will then he prohibited in all the Ter
ritories and, also. the suppression Of the
slave trade between the States, and the abo-
lition Of slavery in the District of Columbia
will have been accomplished.
Thus it vii! be seen that his Springfield
speech expresses the principles Of the Black
Republican platform in another form of
words, and endorses. bv irresistible impli-
cation, every one Of the Odious principles
which he refused at Ottawa to answer whe.
ther he would support or not. The fact is.
that speech, from beginning to erd, is rank
unadutera,sd Abolitionism. (Applause.)
