(From the London Daily News Nay n


IF President Lincoln prevents the
execution of the Southern programme,
preserving the abundant constitutional
rights Of the Southern States, as mem
bers of the Union, we SHALL say that
he has defended the cause OF liberty,
and not q whit less because the doml-
nant party in the South has its own
projects for rearing an empire OF tyr
amy md oppression. If 1t becomes
necessary for that purpose TO draw the
sword, ve shall say that until the mil
lenal day comes when the sword shall
be beaten into the poughshare, and the
$ ear into the pruning hook, war can
be wsged for no higher object than to
maintain the Constitution of the United
St.t.s over the length aud breadth of
the Union. From the first Mr.. Lincoln
has uniformly declared that he will do
this. Every new declaration he has
made has illustrated his consistency
and steadfastness. Il seems 10 be
maintained IN some quarters that be-
cause the government OF the United
States Is so free, It's head ought not to
