: A few weeks after, Mr.. Lincoln, in a
speech at Chicago, commented on the
passage which we have cited from his
Springfield speech, as follows = '
"He [Mr. Douslas] says that am in
favor of making war by the North upon
the South for the extiGction OF slavery (;
that am also in favor of inyisi.s. rs he
expresses it, the South to war, upon tine
North for the purpose OF Matchmaking sla-
very. Now, it is singular enpugh, il you
will carefully read that passage over, that
| did not say that was in favor of aay-
thing in it. | only said what l expected
would take place, made prediction only ;
it may have beena foolish one. perhaps.
l did not even say that desired that
slavery shouldbe put IL, course Of ultimate er-
tinetiog. DO SAY SO NOW, HOWEVER so there
need Be no longer any q,.Dble about that 1t
may be written downin the great speech"
He told his hearers in the same speech
that he hated slavery as much as any Alb
clitionist, This was his language: yr h
Ihave al,0ays hatedslavery a, much THINK,
as any abohtionist--I have been an Old Line
Whig-I have always hated it but have
always been quiet abou. il until this new
era of the introduction of the Nebraska
bill began. / always believed that every,
body was against it, and tina! it was in
course Of ultimate extinction.p ta3J .ls
Tho above extracts seem to be the key
TO the new administration. No wonder the
South are excited at tho election of an
Abolition President, who ''hates slavery
as much as any Abolitionist." 20. s.'.'l
Notwithstanding Mr.. Lincoln has given
utterapce TO the above hellish, dsunion
sentiment, and thereby elected President
of this Confederacy, our Republican
noighbcrs here In the North say the South
is too precipitate, too fast, and II they will
seceed, let them 60 we will whip them
in again. srss las a.s r5mn bH. ....
Their President says, upon the one
hand, that the negro is his equal; and
his hackers that the white men in the
South arc set of barbarians and must be
whipped into subjection under this same
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution ofthe United States. .....
Well, when the whipping in goes on,
we will try and have hand in, too. II
would be something new TO us, but we
will try and learn FIVE are not too much
of barbarian. y-... .f..... ..r.
