or tsvo h41empted 10 be made By Mr. A b
Caldwell, in his speech ~ the Bell mud
Everett meeting IN this place. on iasf
Saturday
In the course o. MS remarks, Nr. Cald-
we'll asserted that Lincoln WIS an Aholi-
Zionist, and yet, anxious RS he WAS 10 pin
thR1 chnree on him, he did not Rddure n
single word or Bentenre from any speech
on recurd Of Mr. Lincoln IN support of his
bula assumption If the gentleman knows
snythIng of The history Of The Believer
ett candidates, he knows that they arc
both rs fairly rhargeatble with Abolitiou-
ism i,s Is Mr.. Lincoln. If ne does not, let
him cpHsul1 the letter recently written 10
Ar, Everett, asking if he now held certain
views expressed By him seme Senrs ago on
Liz subject of slavery Let him a1se
search the history of elections in Ken
tnekys md find why Mr. Bell, although :
SHAREHOLDER and the bosom friend OF Henry
ClaE,e despite OF his twenty wears ser
Eire in the National Legislature, WAS. nev-
ertheless, discarded by her people and
Ecut home 10 priTary- For tear the gen
Lehman viii moi investigate, we can tell
him that because Of his vigorous oppcsi-
lion 10 the rrpenl of The Compromise Ar
md the slpvery propagnndisln of the
South, he subjected himself TO the charge
OF Abolifionisn; Rs ftirly. 100. us II can
be charged upon Mr. Lincoln. We pre-
sumo thai if Mr. Lincoln had been tnirlr
rhArgeabie with Abolitionism, Mr. Benin
min would mi have paid him the high
/ compliment be did in the e 8 Senate,
+ when comparing the respective answers of
Lincoln and DoGglus 10 the questions PRO-
pounded by each in the Illinois campaign.
We doubI not TINT Mr.. Benjumiu is NJ
4 leaFt as well posted as Adr. Caldwell in the
: EE1..
4 in discerning the tendency OF political
! principles. So that Nr. lincoln answers,
the honesty of which are endorsed 10y such
men nB Mr.. Benjamin, are sufficient re-
futaGon Of the charge of 4bolitionis,n,
from whatever quarter il may come. Mr..
Caldwell charged that the Convention
which met in Chicago had not represen-
tative from fifteen of the StateE Of this
Union. BE afterwards modified thc charge
by saying that no Southern Stale thAt
could be carried by the Republicans
waE represented in that Convention.
| Notwithstanding We believe that the Re
publican S..srty will poll larger vote
i'll several Slnre States than the gem
tlemens party. yet We viii grant thet il
hs had stopped right at that point, there
might have been some show of honest
plauBibility in his argument; but let US
hear him farther. Although, said be,
there were Republicans from the SiHye
States III that Convention, they only rep
resented lnesEre minority and hO6 rsgAf
70 at OF p0ts in that body. Let US apply
this tnsory TO his purity and let him say
how ne likes the logic the Union party,
! when IL met in Baltimore, had not single
delegate from the North, South, East, or
: West, in its Convention who could prom
! Use, with the slightest show Of probability,
thai the State he represented wonld sup
: port the nominees Of that GoRT enIien, and
: notwithstanding The eminent and honora-
: BILE names that bead their ticket, eren now
: they can scarcely lay their hands upon q
q county, say nothing of State, that iE pos
2 irreiy or beyond reasonable doubt, Ger
t tain 10 go for Mr.. Bell. Apply Mr. Cald-
: wells minority crushing argument to his
fu9fiEes sf6od Is 85yeT would Esrs as.
e claims Of it's uoluiuees.
s Again, be said the Republican party
: WAS Only held together by it's un,npoDisn,

Perhaps he has, but we are free to admit
mat we never have. BY way of refutu-
uon, we haze only to ask what has been

mus they disagree about the Fundamental
principle OF their party, what confidence
can the nation have in the wisdom of their
Ion,commit1al policy, simply because they
uon propose to violate tbeconstitution OF
the country. The truth is. tha, the 1T.
tempt Of Mr.. Caldwell to fasteu the ci,arge
OF sectiopalism and want Of national noji-
y on the Republican party, was tnrtir,ted
ny desire to appropriate Republican
tndnder, for although claiming only the
Constitution, the Union and The laws

continually getting of on to the tariff
question aud others Of kindred interest.
