On the Goth day of December, ls47,
Hon. w. A. Richardson, of Illinois in.
troduced three resolutions, one was:
Resolved, That the existing war with
Mexico was just and necessary on our
part, and has been prosecuted with the
sole purpose of vindicating our national
rights and honor, and of securing an hon
orable peace. VIDE Con GLOBE, 1S47,
page SO.
Mr.. Lincoln voted against this resolu-
tion, and he made speech in the
House on the 18th day of January, 1s4s,
the following extract from which will ex-
plain his position. Mr.. Lincoln said:
sBut in addition to this, one of his col
leagues (Mr. Richardson,) came into the
House with resolution in terms express
ly endorsing the justice of the Presidents
conduct in the beginning of the war. So
that he found himself here, if he was in.
clined to give the President his supplies,
and say nothing about the original justice
of the war--if he was inclined to go with
him, to lock a.ead, and not back to a
position that he could not do SO. He
should feel compelled to vote on this res,
olution in the negative"
When resolutions of thanks to Gen.
Taylor were introduced into the House.
January Sd, lS4S, Mr.. George Ashmun,
the President of the late Chicago Con
vention, moved to add as an amendment
the following:
"In war unnecessarily and unconsti-
tutionally commenced by the President ol
the United States" Lincoln voted fol-
This amendment. (See Con. Globe, 1S4s
p 95. Hence. it appears that Lincoln
desired to thank Gen. Taylor not for "ob.
taining a victory over the enemy Cat Buens
Vista, which, for its signal, and brilliant
character. is uhsurpass ssed in the military
annals OF the world but, Sin war unne
cessarily and nconstitutionally begun.
This is the kind of thanks that Lincolr
desired to give Gen. Taylor, 'and the off
GERS and soldiers of the regular army
and of the volunteers under his command.
In another place in Lincoln's speech OF
the war, he thus spoke of the President
THE blood of this war, like the blood o
Abel, was crying from the ground agains
him. Thus it will be seen that Lincoll
regarded the blood that our soldiers shet
in Mexico, as crying from the groun'
against them like the blood of the mur
dered Abel Were our officers and sol
diers in Mexico murderers? Lincoln an
swers, in effect that, they were. For thi
speech see Congressional Globe, lS4s

Cassius M. Clay says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, enlightened the Republican
meeting in this city, on Saturday night
with the great object of the Republican
party. There was contest civilization
and barbarism: the one was represented
by freedom, the other by slaveryTTthe one
by an acknowledgment of human rights,
the other by their suppression in q class.
He did not tell us here Of, the extent to
which the Republicans went to carry their
point if they got the power. At Tiffin
he was not so reserved, There he said:
% "These, the democratsl tell you we are for
liberating the -blaeks--for setting the negroes
frees So WE ARE! We. believe, as do you, that
in l776 all men Were created free and equal;
endowed with certain einalisnable rights! !.

they repeatedly spoke Of negroes as men and
as persons. THEY MEANT TIE .NEGRoEs WERE

TOUCHING INSTANCE OF Docs Love
Many months since, James Johnson, German
grocer, whose establishment on the corner Of
Gray and Second Streets was detectedin buying
goods from o slave eknowing the same to be sto-
len. This constituted felony, and he was com
mItted tojail to answer. During his incarcera-
ton little dog, who refused to abandon his
master when all others had forsken him, visited
him every day. About noon the faithful brute
would appear at the prison, ,and, waiting chance,
when the ponderous iron door was flung open,
he would rush in, and lick his masters hand
through the iron grating. Last October John
sen obtained bail and fed. Since that time the
dog has gone to the Jail nearly every day in
search Of the master he will probably never see
again. Yesterday he obtained access to the
prison, and, failing to meet the one he sought
the poor brute retraced his steps slowly, and in
a melancholy mood Perhaps, like the grand.

already declared that the election Of any

In less than one week from this date he
will cone cut as flaming patriot in favsr
Of the Union; will urge his Southern men
not 10 ssceds, and will claim fer himself the
title Of the Great Pacifcator. He will
probably travel South on such . mission,

have been kept in reserve for this special
occasion, as evidence that he has all along
been in favor Of the Union. II, however,
he should get the vote Of the united South,
