LINCOLN AND THE DRED SCOTT

AIraham Lincoln.
From the above declaration Of tho
Republican candidate for the Presiden-
cy, delivered in Chicago on the 10Th of
July, 1858, it appears that he %repudia-
ted the doctrine Of submission to the
decisions made by the judicial tribunals
Of the country. This is a singular do
claraLion to come from the lips OF a
public man, and especially n who as

try,
Is this the present attitude of Mr.,
lincoln Does he now declare him
self independent Of The Judiciary ?
VIII he, if elected President Of United
States, Disregard its Interpretation OF
the Constitution.
These (says the Journal 0lCommerce)
are queries which, while they have no
particular significance when uttered by
Mr., Lincoln as apYiyate citizen, are now
invested with new importance, when
he seeks an election to the first office
in the country. viii he or his friends
tell ~ whether he stands by his pub

ago p Chattanooga Reflector,
We do rot mean to intimate that we
arc his friend BY answering the last
question Of the Reflector, but we say
he will. And if ho will, when he is
elected to the Presidency after having

and fauatical views. we ask in the name
Of our honor, onr patriotism and com
mon sense, if the South. will submit to

do earnestly pray that if the Black Re
publican candidate is elected, the South
will not lose another moment for the
letters to be placed about her-aye,
clasped as they are almost now, and all
simply because Of Union. No wonder,
when Il man entertaining the treasona
bic invasive views Of Abram Lincoln
is held up and advocated as n fit one
for President by a large party in these
United States--uo wonder, we say, that
Southern men should DO found who

Says the Rochester paper, at is all gas

not be whocdled or deceived, by such

alas We fear the Rochester paper has
too much room for uchassertion. The
Southern people do back out too often.
They talk too much. They cry out
about their rights being violated, yet

is disregardcd.
