Whatever may be the differences Of opinion

iacts of which the Address treats, it will be
very generally received as an honest and out.
spoken avowal Of the policy of the rew Adj
ministration. ltls certain that it furnishes
no protext for disunion that has not existed
since the November election. Mr.. Lincoln
refers to bis own speeches, which he says he
Sas never recanted, in which be distinctly de-
clares his inability anu his indisposition ''to
interfere with the institution of slavery in the
States where it exists;' be also quotes from
the Chicago platform, in which there is a re
solution that contains the same general doc
lrine. He does rot profess to address argu-
ments, motives or appeals to the D,suuioDist

therhood that should exist wherever there is
heart TO be touched by recital of the his
tory of our country. As the representative
Of his party, we do not see how Mr.. Lincoln
could have said less that was likely to be Of
fensiye to those holding different views from
bis own. Aud if we regard him as the repre-
sentative of the nation, the ouly portion of
his Address that can be construed Extensively
is that portion which most empharieally insists
upon the essential unity Of tae nation whose
destinies have been conided to his hands.

Of Hayti and the desolation of Freedom, aud

King Of Dahomeg, aud insisted that American
Slavery had greatly improved aud baptized them

of the Slavery question, that it had retarded
