States, and by the majority required Oy
the Constitution and the laws, the next
President of the United States.
It is then the duty of every citizen. in
every State, to uphold the law, the Con-
stiiution, the Union under it and its re-
suits.
We say further that the result Of the
election shows that tie judgment of the
people Of the United States is that Slave
ry shall not be extended by the power of
Congress, nor by armed Intervention. nor
by connivance of the Federal authorities,
over Territories now free.
The voice OF the people OF Maryland al
SO. is that Slavery shall not be extended
within her own 6orderS, where they alone
have the right to decide the question:
The voice of the people Of Maryland ae
cords also with the voice of the peo.
pls of the other States in regard to the
Territories Of the United States. now free;
and the people of this State will uphold
and carry out that decision.
From the reign Of that party--the Gin.
tolerable denomination, which degraded
the powers Of the Federal Government to
the unlawful end Of extending Slavery over
those Territories we are delivered. From
the reign of corruption in public Office
from those who have prosttuted the great
powers and high ends of Government, to
that propogsndism-- from those who neg
lec'ed American and National interests,
for partisan and sectional interest, we are
fr eG
What friend OF the Union, of the ma
ton, Of the country--what man in favor
OF ceasing fruilless agitation and restoring
peace and harmony. will not rejoice at this
result' What Wbig, American, Union
man or Republican, nay, what Democrat
even. in Maryland, will not now oppose
those who threaten 10 dissolve he Union
because of tina, lawful election? Mr.. Lin
ncoln is elected. What man in Maryland
opposed to Democracy. will not uphold
him in this and all other national meas
ures.
| [Prom tho Lexington (Ky) obscrver)
Mr.. Lincoln has been chosen President
Of the United States. and by a heavy vote
of the people Of the Free States. That he
will use, or attemptto use, the power oI
his Office as an engine of warfare upon the
rights of any portion Of the Union, we fol
Qua do not b,lieve. Elected by a section
he has been; but the moment he swesrs
to support the Constitution of his coun-
try, and takes upon himself the duties Of
the Chief Magistracy, he is no longer a
sectional cand date or sectional man, but
he is the President ofMe United S ates,
and in that august relation is bound to
see that the laws are properly enforced
and to protect with the whole power of the
Government the rights Of every portion o
his country. If this shall be his purpose
(and his friends assure Us that he will
take the earliest occasion 80 to declare. }
then will those who opposed his election
have no cause to complain that the people
have thought proper to place him in the
position to which he has boen elevated;
still less will they have cause to endeavor
to break up the Government by reason Of
his election. 1t will be full time to con.
slider what is necessary to the vindication
OF our rights when they are assailed, which
has not been done by the mere fact Of his
elertion.
We sincerely trust, therefore, that thu
mutterings, as Of distant thunder, which
have come to US from the extreme Soutl
already, will be Gained by sober reflection
and that we shall not be called upon 10 re
cord so shamelula a proceeding as would b.
an effort to break up the Governmen
simply because the majority of the people
have differed with those who would coun
sci it as to the choice Of candidate fol
the Presidency.
(Prom the Lexington lKy.I Siatosman)
There is as yot no cause for revolution
or dissolu ion. The UNION commands oul
cordisl allegiance; to il we shall be loya
until its basis. Ghe Constitution, has beel
actually destroyed. Kentucky will moi
surrender the Union. Our people are as
gallant and sspiriled defenders of theiI
rights, and as little disposed to submit t.
wrong AMI dishonor, as any men who tread
the soil Of America, They will not per.
NIT themselves to be degraded nor theiI
equal rights invaded: but they do not be-,
lieve the time has come for revolution, and
will yet cling to the Union with the de-
yotion Of the true sons Of '76.
TO our Southern friends we would earn,
estly appeal to await the full dGvel.

lucky is border State, and as such, the
first aud greatest sufferer by Abolition as
tendency. Our State is barrier of pro.
lection to the cotton States against anti,
slavery aggressions. Our friends in the
South can certainly bear the Administra
ton Of Lincoln as long as We can, Then
let them heed the voice Of Kentuckystand
true TO the Union, and not exhaust all
hopo of yct maintaining the Constitution
The Democracy Of entucky. those men
who, in the support of MIR Breokinridgc,
have given earnest of their fidelity to the
rights of the South, will appeal to the
South TO give up whatever movements are
now in contemplation. and like patrols,
uphold the Constitution and the Union.
Do this, and all may be yet we'll.
