JOSHUA R. GIDDINGS SUPPORTS LIN
COLN-HIS RECORD.
Immediately after Lncoln's nomination by
the Chicago Convention, of which Giddings
was an active member, and from which he
"seceded" until the platform was amended to
suit him, he (Giddings) wrote letter to Lin
coin congratulating him, and declaring that
he had "abored for the establishment Of
principles" and that all he asked of Lincoln
was to make his (Giddings) endorsement of
him "good throughout the administration.
And now to go no further back than
March 10th, 1854, Giddngs on that day spoke
as follows in the House of Representatives
"Sir, would intimidate no one but | tell
you there is a spirit in the North which will
set at defiance all the low and unworthy ma
chinations Of this Executive and of the min
ions of its power When the contest shall
come when the thunder shall roll, and the
lightning flash; when the slaves shall rise in
the South when, in imitation Of the Cuban
bondmen, the southern slaves Of the South
shall feel that they are men when they feel
the stirring emotions of Immortality, and re-
cognize the stirring truth that they are men,
and entitled to the rights which God has be-
slowed upon them when the slaves shall feel
that, and when masters shall turn pale and
tremble, when their dwellings shall smoke, and
dismay sit on each countenance, then, sir, ]
do not say we will laugh at your calamity, and
mock when your fear cometh, but do say,
when that time shall come, the lovers of our
| race VIII stAHu lOTtu, anu exert lne leBltlInate
powers of this Government for freedom"
In May, 1859 during the trial of the mulat-
TO Langston and the other 0berlin Rescuers,
Giddings wrote to Ralph Plumb one of the
''Rescuers' as follows:
an disregarding this law Fugitive Slave
Law the prisoners did right Their error con-
sisted in sparing the lives of save-catchers

have been delivered over to the colored men
and consigned to The doom of pirates, whieh
should hare been speedily erecuted. You are
aware this is the doctrine which proclaimed
in Congress. I adhere 10 H Had the pri-
soners erecuted the STARE catchers promptly,
it would hare taught the administration a les
son not soon 10 be f0rgotten. We should have
been no more troubled with that class of mis-
creaRts
On the oath of May, 1859, Giddings presided
at the Convention assembled during the same
trial to over-awe the United States Court and
compel a verdict of acquittal About the
same time he organized in Ashtabula county
his own home, the order of "Sons of Liber-
ty pledge to resistance to the Fugitive Slave
Law "0ld Ostawattame Brown" spoke in
Cleveland during the same trial
In September, 1859, Giddings wrote to Cor
win as follows:
81 do not object to your giving utterauce to
your views, IORly object to your representing
them as The sentiments of the Republican
party. |, as one of that party detest the Flu
gitve Slave Law icoWld Stay any Stare
catcher 'ohO should po1ute my residence 10
recapture fagitire"
The Dayton Gazette (Republican) of July
goth, 1860, thus endorsed Giddings

Horse returned to Congress Mr.. Giddings
