The following extracts go 10 show the
equality idea Of the President elect, and
should receive general Abolition nppli-
cation.
"Wo arc now far into The fifth year since
a policy was initiated with the ayowed obs
iect and confident promise Of putting an
end 10 slavery agitation. Under the OPP
Grafton of that policy, that agitation has
not only not ceased, but has constantly
augmented In my opinion, II will not
cease until a crisis Shall have been reach
ed and passed. "A house dipiied against o.
self cannot stand Ibehepc his Government
cannot endure permanently half sl1vc and baG
free. IaoNot erpc,the Union 10 BE- disso6rea; J;

Ibeliefhdt it's in the course Of ultimate ertaction,
or rs advocates vW push IL toroa,d until Il shall
become alike kayf,a in dHhe States, o(d as Well
as no,c, North as ,oeH asS0uth."
A few weeks after, Mr.. Lincoln, in n
speech at Chicago, commented on the
passage which we have cited from his
Springfield speech, as follows -
" He Mr.. Douglas says that | am in
favor of making war by the North upon
the South for the extinction Of slavery ;
that am also in favor of inviting, as he
expresses il, the South to war upon the
North for the purpose matchmaking sla-
very. Now, it is singular nDugh, ii you
will carefully read that passage over, that
did not say that | was in favor Of any
thing in it. only said what expected
would tako place, made prediction only ;
it may have beena foolish one, perhaps.
l did not even say that | desired that
slavery shoRdbc put u, course Of ultimate e.r-
tinction. DO SAY so NOW, HOWEVER so there
need be no longer any q,dJJle about that 1t
may be written down in the great speech. ]"
He told his hearers in the same speech
that he hated slavery as much as any Alb
clitioniSt This was his language:
Thare ahoays hated slavery as much Think,
as any aboiitoniSt--i have been an Old Line
Whig-I have always hated it but have
always been quiet abou. il until this new
era of the introduction of the Nebraska
bill begau. always believed that every>
body was against it, and that it was in
course of ultimate extinction"
The above extracts seem to be the key
to the new administration. No wonder the
South are excited at the election Of an
Abolition President, who ''hates slavery
as much as any Abolitionist."
Notwithstanding Mr.. Lincoln has given
utteranee TO the above hellish, disunion
sentiment, and thereby elected President
of this Confederacy, our Republican
neighbcrs here in the North say the South
is too precipitate, too fast, and if they will
seceed, lot them 60 +; we will whip them
in again.
Their President says, upon the one
hand, that the negro is his equal and
his hackers that the white men in the
South are q set of barbarians and must be
whipped into subsection under this same
Declaration of independence and the
Constitution ofthe United States.
Well, when tho whipping in goes on.
we will try and have hand in, too. 1t
would be something new to us, but we
will try and learn five are not too much
Of a barbarian.
