oil the house against itself IN the Constitution {;
1t exists only in The efforts OF such fanatics as
Abraham Lincoln TO create strife, stir up dis
cords, set brother aganS! brother, and father a.
gaInst son, IN our great and happy household of
cOniederated States
-Four months after Mr.. Lincon's speech we
lnd the Hon. VIM. Il. Seward, the great leader
OF the black-republIcan party, expressing the
same idea in his speech at Rochester, N. Y.
"Thus, these antagonistic systems are coniin=
ually coming into closer contact, and collision
results Shall l tell you what this collision
means : They who think it l. accidental. un-
necessary, the work oil interested .anatIcal agi-
tators, and therefore ephemeraI, mistake the
case altogether. 1t is an Irrepressible conflict
betwreeD opposing and enduring forces. and II
means that the United States must and will SOON
er or later become entirely sIdvebodng ma
ton or entirely a free-abor nation Either the
cotton and rice fields of South Carolina, ard the
sugar plantations OF Louisiana, will ultimately
be titled by free labor, and Charleston and New
Orleans become marta for legitimate merchan-
disc alone, or else the rye fields and wheat fields
OF Massachusetts and New York must again b4
! surrendered by their farmers to slave culture
ano TO the production OF slaves, and Boston and
New YORK become once more market for trade
IN the bodies and souls of men. Il is the tail
ure 10 apPreheud this great truth that induces
SO many unsuccessful attempts at final compro-
mise between the slave and free States, and it is
the existence of this great fact that renders all
such pretended compromise, wilen made, vain
and ephemeral.''
/ Governor Chase, Of Ohio, is another advocate
/ of the ''rrepressible conflict" few DAYS
! ago, at Pontiac, Michigan, he thus stated tbe
issue, or rather his conception OF the ISSUE be-
/ tween the parties
! 81 ask you TO take sides and decide where
! you will be. "lt the Lord be God then serve
HIM but II Baal, then serve him." Ii slavery
| IS right II capital ought to own labor, then 90
for The doctrine openly. If you believe that
freedom Is The right oil man, then join the par
ty which has inscribed on the folds of its ban
ner, "FREEpoM THROUGHOUT THE coUNTRY's
WIDE DOMAIN"
! 1t may BE- well 10 add that we know of no
party, save the black-repubIcans, that contends
for this issue. The democratic party IS fighting
t;,~ - ~-~' ';,urinuaI rIouJs or ali sscLTunST'lT
the Constitution as 1t Is, aad Tor the Union as it
Is. They have nothing to do with slavery or
/ anti-slavery. They do not proclaim "&lavery
throughout The Country'S wide domain nor do
they proclaim s'Freed0m throughout the coun-
trY's wide domain for the simple reasoo that
the Constitution leaves tnat question to be set
tied and decided by the people OF each State,
and each Territory when they come to form
State constitution preparatory to Their admission
into the Union, for themselves Governor
Chase would break down and trample under
foot this solemn and salutary obligation OF the
Constitution, for IN no other wav could his par
ty unlurl the banner OF '.Freedom throughout
the country's WIDE domain"
Hon. George w. Julian, once a member of
Congress from Indiana, and at this time the
republican candidate for Congress in the ban
ner blaCk-repubican district in that State, at
Fremont meeting in Gree nvile, Darile county,
Ohio, on the 10th OF September, 1856, thus de-
lIvered himself:
at is no use to deny it any longer. Oar
republican party is sectional party because
the South has forced Us into it. The stumpers
OF this old-lne-horse-stealng democracy, not
having the fear OF God be tore their eyes, charge
MS with being sectional. | iell you we are a
sectional party. 1t is not between IT. North
and the South. 1t is fight between freedom
and Slavery-between God and the devil-be-
tween Heaven and hell
LINCOLN AND HIS SUPPORTERS IN FAVOR OF THE
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, AND TIE
HIGHER LAW.
In his tenth-of-July speech IN Chicago, see
Debates, 49, Mr.. Lincoln, in reply TO some
siictures on hS Springfield speech. SAID
81 did not even say that | desired that 81 ave-
ry should be put in course OF ultimate extlnc-
ton. do say so now, however so there need
be no longer any difficulty about .hat. 1t may
be written down in the great speech"
81 have always hated slavery, | think, as
much as any aooltionist-l have seen an old
line whig-I have always hated 1t but have
always bren quiet about 1t until this new era Of
The introduction of the Nebraska bill began
always believed that everybody was against it,
and that 1t was in course OF ultimate extinc-
iion.''
MIR. Seward in MS great speech at Cleveland
Ohio, in the canvass of lS4S, used the follow
ing explicit and unmstakable language
"SIavery can BE- limited 10 It's present bounds
ii can be ameliora,ed. 1t can be, aud it must
be abolished, and Won and can and must 10 IT,
The task is as easy and slmpe as lis consum-
nation will BE- benvficent, and its rewards glo-
rIouS. 1t requires only TO follow this simple
rule Of action to do everywhere and on every
occasion what We can, and not to neglect or
refuse to do what We eau, az any tim-, because
at that precise time, and on that particular oc-
caslon, We cannot do more. Circumstances de-
termlne possibilities"
extend a cordial welcome to the fugitive who
lays bis weary limbs at yoor door, and defehd
him as you would your paternal gois "
"CorIect your own error thai slavery has
any constitutional guarantees which may not be
released, and ought not to b,' reIlnquished. =
"You viii soon bring the
parties OF the country into an effective aggFes-
sion upon slavery"
