Lincoln His EndOrsers and
Platform.

MIR. PRESIDENT, AND OEN1LEhEN Of THE
C~oSyESTioS:-If we could first know where
we are, and whittier we are tending, we could
better Judge what TO do, and how to do it
We are now far into the fifth year, since n
policy was initiated with the avowed object,
and confident promise of putting an end to
slavery agitation. Under the operation of
that policy, that agitation has not only not
ceased, but has constantly augmented. Inmy
opinion, il will not cease until a crisis shall
have been reached and passed. "a house di-
vided against itself cannot stand. | believe
this government CANNOT ENDURE perma-
nently half sidve and half free. l do not
expect the house to fall-but / do expect it
viii cease TO be divided. 1t will become all
one thing, or all the other. Eith@- the oppo-
nents of Slavery lciH arrest the further spread
of IL, and place IL tchere the public mind
shall rest ia the belief that IL is in the course
of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will
push it forward till it shall become alike law
full in all the States-old as well new,
North as well as South.'-LiRcoM's Speech
at Springfield, JnRe, 1853.
81 find in the resolutions of the Convention
at Chicago a platform as satisfactory TO me
as tit had been framed NTH nay oacn hands,
and in the candidates adopted by ii, eminent
and able Republicans, with whom | have cor
daily co-operated in maintaining the princi-
ples embodied in that excellent creed. VIM,
