The Republican Jubilee" at Springfield
| Ill, on the night Of the 10Th inst. has bee q
noticed. The speech OF Mr.. Lincoln, in re-.
ply to a serenade, contains nothing more than
was published, but the speech of Senator
Trnmbull was promised before the jubilee
| to be the reflex of Mr.. Lincolu's views, and
| is, therefore, Of more or less intsres: ct The
South The following is an extract,
Upon national topics Senator TrtmbuI, dis
countenanced the idea of trium phiug over DO
I,ical opponents, accepting all, By whatever
name called, as brethren of a common coun-
try. He said Mr.. Lincoln, although the can
dldate of the Repu blican party, as Chief Ma.
gistrate will neither belong to that or any
other party when inaugurated. He will be
the President OF the country, and of the whole
country; and l doubt not W i'll be as ready to
defend and protect the State in which he has
not received solitary vote against any Ell
c!oachment upon its constitutional rights. as
the one in which he has received The largest
majority. While they by whose votes he has
5een designated as Chief Magistrate of the
people will expect him TO main ain and carry
forward the principles on which he was
elected, they know that in doing 60 no en-
croachments will be made on the reserved
rights OF any of the States. They know that
the Federal Government is one OF delegated
powers; that 1t can d. nothing except the au-
thorIty tor the act can be found In the instru-
| mcEb ClcitSu Is iIaL 8Il powers not
Conferred are reserved 10 the STATES or the peo-
pie of the States.
Hence, when their political opponents have
charged them with aboliticnism or attributed
TO them desire to interfere with slavery in
the States, or some fanatic has insisted they
ought to do so, the reply has invariably been
that the people, who made the federal govern
ment, did not think proper TO confer ii on such
authorlty and II has there fore, more ght
TO meade ,cith sEarsry in a State than 1t has 20
tnft!feTs triM se,fd0nl IN Russia Nor are the
people OF the non slaveholding States IN any
way responsible for slavery in the States " bich
Tolerate IT, because rs to that ton they are
as foreign from each other Independent gov
ernmenls. l have laboTed in and for the re-
publican organization with entire confidence
that, whenever it should be in power each d
all CT the States would be left in as com pIet g
control OF their own affairs Respectively and
at as perfect liberty TO choose and employ
their own means Of protecting properly a. d
preserving peace and order within their re-
spective limits, as they have ever been under
any administration. Those who have voted
for Mr.. Lincoln have expected and stIu ex pee /
this. They would not have voted tor him had
they expected otherwise.
l regard il as extremely fortunate for the
peace OF the whole country that this point
upon which the Repu blicaus have been so Ion z
and SO persistently misrepresented,i Is now TO
be brought to practical lest and placed be-
yond the possibility of doubt. It should be u
matter OF rejoicing 10 all true Repu biicaps
that they will now have an opportunity of de-
rnonstrating to their political sdversaries and
| to the world that they are not for interfertng
Uth the domestic institutions ofdng Of The States,
nor the CdrccatsS OF negro equality, or of ANAL
| gaLnatioD, with whic- political demagogues
| have SO often charged them. When this is

fayor o! kepublicanism. The Southern MN d

maintain an apprehension among the South

Federal Government. With SUCH "nSw or

1iane the public mud by misrepresenting the
objects and purposes of the Repu bican party,
