! ou' 'iN uTSiSl Was Ia ulNIue tHe PaflF--to dT-
/ feat Mr.. Douglas, and 10 give the greatest
| chance for success to the Black Republicans.
The Bella Everett chances were regarded
tGen as desperate. The motives that led TO this
/ secession treason ale thus made manifest
/ The very men who declared al the last session
/ OF Congress fhat the eIecllonoi Black Rspubli-
can President, would authorize dissolution Of
tue Union, unite with their co-conspiria'ors to
divide and destroy the Dem1cralic parry, and
aid thereby the erection Of Lincoln and Hamllo.
ii therefore the Secession Democrats were SIN
cere in their solemn declarations made 10 both
Houses OF Congress during the late session, and
II they had any design in the nomination Of
john c. BreckiarIdge, they must have known
that their policy tended directly towards the T.
lection 81 Lincoln aud Hamlin, and would fur
rish them, he Srceders, with the excuse for
atreaSonable attempt 10 dissolve tie Union, M
on thr election OF a Black Republican President.
There were doubtless other motives, but this
was the main secret object OF the managers ot
The Secession Convention and the Convention
itself was but one OF the acts in tragedy tn
{ main plot of which WAS designed 10 represent
The destruction OF the Republic, by the dIssou-
ton of the Union. This arcb-treasoE has been
contemplated since 1890, and the unexpected
! failure Of the c0nSpiraors, 70 defeat the n2m-
nation Of MIR. Douglas, FASTENED them to more
direct accomplishment Of their purpose than
they desired.
For proofs Of my assertion, ! refer 70 the
speeches OF Kritt, Miles and Bonham Of South
Carolina, of Lamar, McRae, Singleton and Da-
Wis OF Mississippi, OF Moore and Curry OF Ala
bama OF De Jarneite and Leake OF Virginia. Of
T Cioplon and Crawford Of Groiga, and others at
the last session Of Congress.
