ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN A TEACHER OF SECESSION
GpUII OSDpUyD

1t will probably surprise Mr. Lincon's friends quite
much as We have been surprised learn that he fully
and unequiyocay committed to the very "phlosopby"
which he eudeavorng to Crush OUT by bringing
to bear against its adhereus the whole military power
of the Government. Yet such is the fact.
The following is extract from a speech delivered by
Abraham Lincoln (the Lincoln who is now Pres
dent of the ULied Staes in the House OF Represents
ves January - lSiS. And in order to enable every
reader himself OF It's authenticity will men,
ton that the speech may be found in the Appendix
the Congressional Globe to the 30th Congress- list
sion,) page "a. The following is literal extract
"Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the
power have the right to rise up and shake of the exist
ing government and foim new QUE that suits them
better Tn is most valuable, most sacred right-a
right which, hope ard believe is to berae the world
Nor is this ight confined 10 in which the whole
people OF exsrg government may choose to xercise
H. ANY PORTION If such people that can, may revo
utonz and make their OF much Of the territory
they nhabit More than this, majority OF any pOr
ton Of such people may revolutiOniz,, put down M
n0riiy interminged with about them, who may
oppose their movements. Such minority precisely
the case Of the Tories Of Revolution. il is
quality of revolutions not go by old lines, old laws
but to break up both and make ones"
We may well let this go to the country" without note
or comment. But remark that the PHILOSOPHY"
here taught iegitimates and usies the Southern rebel
lion in all its extent Ga this point there be no de-
bate What will Mr.. Lincolns friends say to itP For
ourselves, We respectfully dissent.
We are Indebted for this precious scrap Of poicll
history the researches OF the editor of the Watertown
Union. IL cannot fail 10 produce some little sensation.
L. is TO be hoped Mr. Lincoln will treat the subject
a. length in his message the op ming of the ensuing
extra session.
