In tho game sense and to the samo extent that Clay
wus anti slavery, and no more and appealing to
the prejudices Of conservative Wings goes on to
say, Let any one who wishes to satisfy himself
that Mr.. Lit ;oln stands upon the same platform
on which Mr.. Webster stood in 1850, ,ead his III
Of March speech which created SO great an excite
meht in the country at tho time of its delivery
Mr.. Andrews goes even q little further 10 his let
ting down Of Lincoln, for he asks, Is no any
more ultra than Mr.. Webster or Mr., Clay p and
then says, i maintain that he is less so than
ether lie then goes on to show that Mr.. Lincoln
does not object to the admission Of new slave
States into the Union, is in favor of u Fugitive
Slave Law, and declares himself opposed to any
interference with slavery in the States. Having
arrived at this point Mr.. Andrcwe triumphantly
asks, why should he not succeed to the support
of the friends and supporters of Henry Clay Dan.
iel Webster and Willard Fillmore Where else
can they go and fud their principles SO fully aud
fairly represented as in Mr.. Lincoln p
Where indeed can they 60 Let auti-slavery

DANIEL ULLMAN,
The celebrated Know Nothing leader was the next
speaker. His remarks we're very much like the
remarks of the preceding speakers and writer's
in relation to Mr.. Lincoln's views on slavery,
though be was more inclined to let Mr.. l.. speak
for himself, quoting some passages from his cele-
brated stump debate with Douglas in the Illinois
campaign. The questions prOpounded by DJuglas
and the answers given by Lincoln are SO 'o!ear and
explicit that we cannot conceive Of the possibility
of their being misunderstood, and We copy them
FOR those who desire to read them.

Republicans to have the leaders of the party no
only declare, but prOre, that Lincoln's anti-slaver
is no better than was that of Clay, the slavebolde
and compromised, of Fillmore, the signer of t.
fugitive slave bill Of 1850, and of Daniel Webster
whose 9TH of March speech covered him with in
fanny, il is better the truth should he told nov
than later. SO that if they have ears to hear, the.
may hear-may hear, and be benefited.
