rriprHs
It is the friends Of disunion and civil war
alone that endorse Linc0ln's position Chi-
eggo I5mes.
Whilst the patriotic address of President
LIncsln is restoring confidence to the men of
the South who really desire a happy solution
of our national troubles, Northern traitors
are loud in their protests against bis deter
minatiOn to act in accordance with his con-
stitutional obligations and to keep inTiolate1
his oath Of Office. The above from the Chi
eago Times, the organ Of the traitors in Hi
nois, is in strange contrast with the follow
ing from the Baltimore Clipper, a paper
which reflects the sentiments of the Union
men of Maryland:
"The inaugural address Of Mr.. Lincoln is
commendable for its temp rance and conserv-
atism. Il is firm in the nationality of the
sentimsnts expressed, and eminentIy peace-
loving and conservative in its recommended
Ii ne. We heartily commend il as a genuine
Union address, worthy Of the fullest appro-
baton Of every conservative UniOn -loving
man in the South as Well as in the North
and not In any way obnoxious TO the ultra,
but honest advocates Of Southern Rights II,
LinooIn's inaugural is an angufy ofthe char
acter Of dis administration, the country may
be congratulated upon bis election TO tie

" This inauguration VIII have wholesome
influence upon the extremists Of both sec

Under the pledges given BY Mr.. Lincoln, bis
administration cannot possibly prove more
disastrous to the South than that ef,Janes
Buchanan. IF be respects bis oath to obey
the Constitution and enforce the laws, ne
must place himself upon the platform upon
which stands the " hce couservatiq iqs uartv of

It should be otherwise, sheEe VIII bs ample /
time for Us to riglt cur wrongs nnder the
Constitution, and Wishout Fevoiution or civil
war" - M
These are the words Of patriotsin, and,
coming from one who believes his section is
suffering ''wrohgs, g Bsy are the words of
wisdom. We're the opposition to the Repub-
lican party IN The North confined to such
men as thess, ope-half Of the present evils Of
secession would never have had existence,
and southsru trssson would Be swept sway
as dust before the Wind. Bus the country IS l
infested with meroensEy train OF political
scbsmers, who would barter The. best inter-
ests Of humanity for share il ths spoils Of
Office. They are in league with traitors IL
the South for the purpose Of @coercing" the

which vent they hope to be able, st an early
day, % repeat their acts Of pI5ndeg and raai=
sdmiaisiration. Every State in the North e
disgraced with their presence, and their
eroakiugs are borne on every breeze. For
tunately, thoy are understood by the people,
who bsve alrendy pronounced their doom,
and now a5-theY feel the eh,lly ef political
death upon them, it is not matter Of Won
