Decision and the Declaration Of {sdependzee-Hs In

The little tender the Courier and Enquirer few days
ago contained the following SENTENCE
The nomination of Lincoln is regarded triumph
the IOveoy faction Of Illinois, who have steadily pro-
fessed against him as being too conservative
The Chicago Daily Democrat, one Of the most ultra
republican organs Of Illinois, gave quick and nat denial
to this piece ofntelligence in this languageMr Loveoy
and Mr. Lincoln personal friends and political
supporters of each other Mr. LOvejoy in favor Of
the nomination of Mr. Lincoln for President and Mr..
Lincoln would like 10 Mr.. Loveoy returned TO Con-
gress. Mr. Lincoln is for using all the constitutional
in his power for the suppression of slavery This
is all Mr. Lovejoy is for Should Lincoln be elected Pre-
sden Loveoy returned Congress there is no
who would ENJOY Mr. Lincolns confidence TO greater de-
gree than Mr. Ioyeioy There no State in the Union
where the republicans are sound upon the slavery
question as Illinois Indeed, Illinois republicans know
no other question except that between slavery extension
and slavery extinction A man that supposes that Owen
Lovejoy does not speak for all the republicans in Illinois
when he speaks in Congress, aboring under an mex
This announcements is official, and it is boldly TO tho
point Not only does Illinois claim the honor Of original
ing the bloody 'rrcpressble confct' doctrine, but Mr.
Lincoln claims 70 be the first man who proclaimed the
principle in that savage and revolutionary form In
speech Of his at Columbus, Ohio in September last he
I do not believe that Governor seward uttered that
sentiment because had done BEFORE but because he
reflected on this subject and saw the truth Of IT," Lin
ard Afterwards in his Rochester speech, chrstened the
irrepressible conhic"a doctrine which looks out
At the Chicago Convention, when Mr. Stewards friends
argued that the nomination belonged to him, ho
friends tumphanty replied that he the real author
OF the creed Of the party The fact was not denied and
did much to turn many Of tine most ultra members OF the
Convention to Lincons SIDE When IOvejoy the furious
fanatic from Illinois, bclches his abolition bile the
noor of Congress- he is only pushing forward in the ncc
diary path first Indicated By his friend and political sup
porter Abraham Lincoln. Lncolns doctrine is that the
people Of the North must conspre TO extermnate slavery
in the South the people Of the South will extermnate
Mr. Lincoln in the same speech In which he proclaims
this principle begins crusade against the Supreme Court
Of the United States by arguing that its decisions arc OF
binding force upon the people OF these States He
lays hold Of the bred Scott decision because, he said,
dpres the negro Of the right Of citizenship In these Unit
States ana than the negro should be excluded
from the right Of voting he would raise the battle cry Of
the "irrepTessibe conflict" ~ lid
He goes another step still farther the psth Of
luton and declares that included in the bill
Of rights set forth in the Declaration Of American lndo
pcndencehat the all mem named in that document
embraces negroes well white In his speech ut
Chicago, July TO- 1858, he said N should like to know
taking this old Declaration Of Independence, which de-
claros that all equal upon principle and making
exceptions to it, where will IL stopf Ifone says II
does negro why may not another say docs not
mean some other man If that declaration is not the
TRUTH let get the statute book in which find H. aud
tear out" That is, if the Declaration Of Independence
does not the equality Of the negro with the white
race then Lincoln wants 10 get hold Of the statute book
which contains the declaration and tear to pieces 10
what speech Seward such violent sentiments these
FORTH Where anything be found them 10
the ferocious aboitionism Of Phillips or Carlson
But Lincoln does not stop here He Is not content
with simple negro equality In his speech at Gaesburg,
October 1885, he boldly declares that the constitution
does not affirm the right Of property in slaves That Of
10 reason win mad dog with tin kettle tied to his tail
argue with who declares the constitution docs
not recognise the right Of property In slaves II needs no
