Ex.Sccretary Thompson concluded bis
speech, at Oxford Miss, as follows:
"But, my friends, Mississippi has acted.
She has resumed nil the powers heretofore
delegated to the United States. She assumes
now to be sovereign, independent State.
She is now engaged with ether seeded States
in forming new C.r'eieraey. May God
send her prosperity and Happiness. But sup
pose an effort should be made to coerce Mis-
sissippi by force Of arms to return to her for
mcr position in the Union7 Suppose the
question Of African slavery should Ie for the
present waived, AMI the question should be
raised Of making sl.vcs Of our white men "
the sword and bayonet2 What then is to be
your feeling and purpose and mine? lspeak
for myself, and verify believe You will re-
echo the sentiments: That sooner than Mis-
sissipp should annul her late ordinance OF
secession and return to her former position in
the old Union, at the mouth OF the cannon, |
would prefer to see Mississippi, with all her
brave sons and fair daughters, and her rich
fields, sunk to the bottom Of the deep sea, and
her name blotted from the map of the earth

MIR. Lincolu's Speeches aud Mor,iiica-


The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Express writes:
4" The modification of the Republicans at
Mr.. Lincoln's reccht speeches increases with
every fresh cmanalion from the Presidential
tripod. They begin when it is too lutte to re.
size the truth Of the allegations OF the Union
men Of Illinois as to The incompetcncy OF
Lincoln for the Presidency. During the cam
va.s, his supporters appealed triumphan,ly to
his Published speeches as proof Of his abi'i.
t.. 1t now appears, as suspected at tho time,
that these speeches were carefully prepared
b. Nj. Judd aud other friends Of Mr. Lincoln,
revised aud re.revised, polished and written,
to such degree that they who heard III Ia
on the stump could not recognize them in
print. This was part OF the game of de-
ception played by the Republicans upon tho
people, 10 toist man upon the country for
its chief magistrate who was never ,garded,
by his most intimate acquaintances, as anJ.
thing moro than jocose, cunning, country
politician. l am assured by those who know
him we'll, that more iliterate man it would
be difficult to find, even among the se;rmade
lawyers Of Illinois. His cllief characteristic
is an immense gift OF gab," and wonder.
ful command of language, unaccompanied by
a corresponding copiousness Of ideas. Tie
election Of such man at such crisis is un.
doubtedly the greatest evil that has ever be.
fallen this country. But the mischief is done,
and the only relief for the American people
is to shorten sail, caulk the batches, put in
the headlights, send down the topmasts, and
prepare for hurricane.
