Acrer did any mnn receive such honors at
the hands Of our people. and never did our peo-

WHAT CONSISTENT DEMOCRATS SHOULD DO.
Mr. Lincoln argued that those who thought
slavery right ought to unite on 4 policy which
should deal with it as being right; that they

Great Britain. Said he, all shades Of Democra-
cy. popular sovereign as well ns the rest, are
1ully agreed that saves are property, and only

should think it just cause OF war if she did not

On the other hand, oll those who believe
slavery il wrong should unite on policy, deal
ing with it as wrong. They should be dcluded
into no deceitful contHvauces, pretending indif.
ference. but really working for that to which
they are opposed.
Anor1 DISSOLUTION or THE UNION.
hut you Democrats are for the Union; and
you greatly fear the SUCCESS Of the Repubicau1
would destroy the Union. Why! % the Re-
pn"licans declnre against the Union? Nothing
Ike it. Your own statemunt of it is, that If the
Black Republicans elect President, you t1on'k
stGnd i! You will bzeak up the Union. That
Will be your act, not ours. To justify it, you
must show TINT our policy gires you just cause
,9r 10, such desperate action. Can you do thats
When you attempt it, you will find that our
policy il exactly the policy Of the men who
made the Union. Nothing more and nothing
;ens' ~ you Fea!iy thlhk you are justified to
break up the government rather than hare it
administered as 1t was administered BIZ Wash
iington. and other good aud great men who made
1t, and first administered it! If you do, you are
very unreasonable, aad more rxasoaoJIe men
cannot and toiA not submit to you. While you
elect Presidents. VIC submit, neither breaking
nor attempting to break up the Union. If We
shall constitn1tonslly elect President. it will
be our duty to see that you also submit. Old
John Brown has just been executed for treasou
against State. We cannot object, even though
he agreed with Us in thinking slavery wrong.
That cannot excuse violence, hloodshed, and
might think himself right So, if constitution
ally we elect President, and therefore you un-
dertake to destroy the Union. It acil X our duly
