The Policy Of the Lincoln Party,

Let no one man attempt to mislead the peo-
pie of the South, touching the aims and ends
of the party which has elected Lincoln to the
Presidency. Enthusiastically ndanquestion-
ably, its object is to overthrow the institutions
of the South, to tear down with ruthless hand
the barriers which nature has raised to mark
the inequality of the races-to introduce the
demon Of discord and civil and social reyolu-
ton among the people Of the slave holding
States, upon the theory that there should be
no distinction of COLOR lin q word, to accom-
plish all those things which have been dreamt
| in the philosophy Of the Stewards, the Gree
lys, the Giddings, the Garrisons and the Beech
ers Of the North.
The proof of the startling fact is furnished
in ten thousand forms, SO that it cannet esr
cape the observation and reflection of the
Southern people.

Of John Wentworth's Chicago Democrat, =
issued on the. day preceding the election
journal which is every where known to be
the personal organ and accredited mouthpece
of Lincoln--in which the designs Of the Black
Republican party are distinctly and unequivo-
cally ayowed. We have copied the following
extracts from its pages, that our Southern
readers may be forewarned as to the doom in
store for them if the people of the South quiet
Iy repose under Black Republican Govern
ment. They are told that the election Of Lin
coin inaugurates policy which viii result in
'the ultimate extinction of slavery"-that the
South shall be surrounded by a Gordon of fire,
so that her, institutions will be destroyed.
that "the fugitive slave law shall be repealed"
and that the whole policy of the party shall be
policy Of tfeedo,n.'
Peoplsof Mississippi read and reflect, and
decide if you are prepared to submit to the
rule of a Government to be thus controlled for
your RUIN and DEGRADATION? South
Carolina says No! Virginia says No !! Ala
bama, Texas, Florida, Georgia-the Empire
State of the North-say No People of Mis-
sissippi what say you?

| Nothing but embarrassment and dangers
can arise from any further delays. The ire
| pressible conflict must be decided sooner or
later, and the sooner the better. The Union
cannot endure permanently halt slave and half
| free. We do not expect the Union to be DIS
solved-it a. Republican President is elected
it cannot be dissoIyed-dut ace do expect it soiH
/ cease to be divided. If Mr. Lincoln is elected
| the administration OF which he will be the
head, loiH arrest the further spread Of slavery
and place it where the public mind shall rest
| in the belief Of its ultimate extinction. :.
The pro slavery interpretations of the Con-
stitution of the United States, which have
been broadly and continuity disseminated and
enforced viii be reversed, and that glorious
instrument will be construed as its trainers in

not as a bulwark ofslayery
The present infamous fugitive slave law
will be repealed, and law substituted nits
place which will give the slave owners only
what she Constitution provides, not jot more.
Their pound of flesh they may have, but not
drop Of blood. ss.s.asl
In word, the whole policy of the Govern
ment will be . policy OF freedom. The spirit
that will actuate all its departments aofA be a
spirit Of liberty. The patronage and influence
tof tie Government, al home and abroad, soiH be
e1erted on the side Of FREEDOM. The rights of
all the citizens of the United States will be
made as secure in South Carolina as 1t is in
Massachusetts. The sanctity of the mails
will not be invaded, and the Post Masters OF
the Southern States will no longer be allowed
to decide what newspapers their neighbors
may read. Liberty shall be proclaimed
through all tie land and to all the inhabitants
thereof. The slave States will be surrounded
/ by Gordon of free States, and slavery con-
fined to its present limits limits, too. speedi-
ly to be still further circumscribed by Della
ware and Missouri becoming free-will be-
come Improbable, and peeuniary, as well as
moral curse. Then emancipation societies
will spring up in all the slave States, and the

OF these, who that loves his country, has race,
