Lincoln's Opinion of Thomas Jefel

ooAb
The Macomb (Illinoisl Eagle has ralSed
up from its old files speech made by
Abraham Lincoln in 1914, in which he
said:
"Mr. Jefferson is statesman whose
praises are never out Of the mouth OF the
Democratic party. Let us attend to this
uncompromising friend of freedom, whose
name is continually invoked against the
Wing party. The character of Jefferson
was repulsive. Continually pulling about
liberty, equality and the degrading cause
of slavery, he brought his own Children
to the hammer and made money of his
debaucheries. Even at his death he did
not manumt his numerous offspring, but
left them, soul and body, to degradation
and the cart whip. A daughter of this
vaunted champion of Democracy was sold
some years ago, at public auction, in New
Orleans, and purchased by q society OF
gentleman, who wished TO testify by her
liberation their admiration of the states,
man who
"Dreamt of freedom in a slaves embrace.
"This single line have quoted gives
more insight into the character of the
man than volumes Of panegyrc. 1t will
outlire his epitaph, write it who may"
This is the language of Mr.. Lincoln
against the author of the Declaration OF
American Independence calumny that
should ,inge the cheek of the variest dem.
agogue in tho land. and would be dis
grace to be uttered against any man Of
even common respect, hut this is Lincoln
ism all over.

ton in the sublime art Of thieving with
out detection, emigrated to pyactise their
profession in Texas, and being detected,
are suffering the penalties of Spartan law,
but not, it must be confessed, with Spartan
firmness.
Greeleg ought to so to Texas and lecture
in behalf of his old pupils and get them
out of the trouble that he has got them
into, ard thus obey the dying Injunction
of an old friend, whom he meanly allow
ed to immediate himself and halt-adozen

three or four Virginians.
No doubt, If Greeley could only enjoy
the poisoning ola brace of Texans, he

soul is Master Greeley, and such is his
love for our common humanity Penn.

fact that the Aboltionists have q candi>

| 1t is well known that the Abolition par

States, and every effort is being made by
the Republican party to secure that vote
for Mr. Lincoln, which he is suie to get
under the present arrangement. This is
what Joshua R. Giddings, Cassius NJ. Clay
and Benz f. Wade--all notorious abolit-
ionists, are laboring to bring about
These are the men, and they hold the
sentiments that would control the action,

The Strait Ticket.

We have already expressed our views
I in regard to the formation of an Electoral
ticket under the auspices of the Forney
( IINldermau--Roumf mfort gang. This at.
tempt at political lofty and ground tum-
bling, appears at length to have culmina'
ted. We now have in the field, the reg
ular Electoral ticket framed at Reading,
and this new or strait Douglas ticket
The Roumfort Harrisburg Committee, ac
ting by advice of J. w. Forney have ia.
ken the Reading ticket and struck from
| it, the names of those whom they believ-
ell were inimical TO the rule or ruin polir
cy and in their stead have substituted per.
sons upon whom they think they can de-
pend, TO throw their votes for Douglas
first, and for Lincoln or Bell if necessity
requires it,
We have thus, upon tho one side, the
regular ticket formed by an united De.
mocracy, sustained by the regularly con,
stituted state Organization, and acquies-
ced in by all Democrats who have the
good Of their party and the success of its
principles at heart and upon the other
ticket, formed by bogus organization,
without the shadow Of regularity, formed
by men who have distinguished them
selves Tor disloyalty TO the organization,
composed Of men who are of the same po,
litical complexion and sustained only by
those who prefer the election of Lincoln
to the success of the Democracy.
If the utter dismemberment and de-
struction of the Democratic party, if the
success OF Black Republicanism and sec.
tionalism, be the aim OF those sell.styled
patriots, then indeed they have adopted
the means to secure their end. If, how.
ever, the success of the Democratic pa rty
be the end sought, political insanity is the
mildest term we can find to apply to their
conduct. "Whom the Gods would de-
stroy, they first make mad," is an adage
that may in the days of these Latter Day
Saints of Democracy, be well applied -
We have an abiding faith in the noble
Democracy Of the Keystone state, we feel
and know that the success of their prin-
ciples, and the promotion of their organi-
zaticn, are the prime objects of their de
sires, and we lelieve that the man, be he
the humblest voter or the chosen stand
ard bearer of the party; who seeks to
ride into power by the destruction OF
the organization, and the defeat of their
principles, will meet at their hands, the
stern rebuke his conduct merits.

A, Bloom. Moses Wise, Samuel Long and
d. w. Ream Vice Presidents, and j. L.
Kratzer and w. A. Dale, Secs. ..
B. G Dale Esq, was called upon TO ad.
d. ass the meeting, and in very able and
eloquent manner, showed up the former
and present position of the party, proving
the Inconsistency of Breckenridge and
Lincoln, and urged all true Democrats to
rally around the only nominees of the
Baltimore Convention Douglas and John
son.
i j Grams Esq, was then called for, and
addressed the meeting in fitting and be-
coming manner. He gave his reasons
for supporting Douglas and Johnson, and
fully endorsed the doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty as enunciated in the Cincin:
Ntti Platform, and adopted by The Demo>
cratic party in 1856. After Mr. Grams had
concluded the following resolutions were
offered and unanimously adopted
RaOtoed, Thatin Douglas and Johnson,
the regular nominees of the party, we
have standard bearers, OF whom We feel
proud, and that we support no man as an
elector who is not unequivocally pledged
to their support.
Rcsolged, That Henry D. Foster ou.
nominee lor Governor, deserves the unit
ed support of the Democratic party, and
that ifother counties follow the example
of Clearfeld, he will be triulnphan.ly cleo
ted.
Resolced, That in Our County and Dis
trict nominees we have true Democrats
who can command the party vote.
After the adoption of the above resolu-
tions, Walter Barrett Esq, was called for
but said that it was now growing late, and
moved the meeting to adjourn,

which they have done in substantial
wa.. Mr.. M'Gaughey who has had charge
of thus work has done in q substantial and
worllmanlke manner, the arrangements
this far are excellent, if not superior to
any Fair ground we know of in the Stale
1t is probably unnecessary to have so
many stunps within the enclosure as they
are nothing new 20 our people; but we
have no doubt that many of them will be
occupied most of The time during the con-
tinuance of the Fair.
Now that the committee have dischar-
ged their duty in manner worthy of all
praise; we hope the citizens of the counr
~ generally, will take upon them selves
to discharge theirs also, with them now
rests the building up or breaking down of
an Agricultural Society in .his county.

what they may become wiser, and none
so rich but that they may be made richer,
