cov.rrroept We repuoiate their dogmas upon the
enestioa Of Slavery; we opIo~ed t"the nm"st tnoir
elevation 70 The places they now hold but, electeo as
Ibey were by a sectional party, ard upon seeuonai -
sues which we regret and condemn. We yet bold Sucn
e;ls as transient and remedial and entirely inslgnl-
<aut. wien compared with the lasting disgrace and
qifce Of every essential interest entoiled upon Tie
country by the conduct OF Set -iOuiste. Tho d-ecl
of orr troubles shows conclaivey that the views OF
Lincoln and HAmlin upua the domestic polcy OF the
country, and their election 10 the ohoes they hoi',
were not the cane. bat the pretcrt, for an alItm1o
dissolution Of the Union. Their election soeinny

tn auction of Slavery believe TO be not seri-
ously in the contest. t were, how culpable the con-
duct Of Southern Senators and members O the House
Of Representatives in yidug the complete power they
held the present Administration, through tnelF
maio. Ties in the Senate and most probably IN tie
House of Representatives. Holding III thelr own
hands the power to prevent any wrong or schieVOus

perpetrat,d by hin o. Bis patty less with iheir ap-
provs and content. No at has been committed Oy
Lincoln, for be not IN power when the revolt com
mencec. and il it could be hight TO attempt revoiu-
zion upon mere apprehension, 10 such apprehensioh
in view Of the maio les referred to could have peeh

T. is therefore idle 10 treat this attempt at revou-
zion ID augh else than what u really Is, viz: an at
tempt to dissolve the Union aud make OF our country
two or mose Governments, wherein the pilnciples OF
