not long since, near the Town Of Rohrsburg,
made moi only disuniun but an inconsis-
len; and contradictory speech la the fore5
part of which he claimed TO be eonstiiu-
tional Union man. by nrgiue his hearers TO
preserve The Constitution, by adfpor,ng
his Administration, aud before be 90,
through his discourse, cut his own throat,
by declaring this war would and should be
carried through al the setting aside of any<
thing that would come in the wav. Mean
ing that il the Constitution stood in the
way Of carrying on the war successfully it
would be disregarded, and SET aside. This
was part Of The inconsistency OF his speech.
What, preserve the Constitution ty support.
ing the Administration in all its acts L5t
Us see IT BY supporting this Administration
in ali it does would he preserving The Con-
slitution. Does not the platform upon
which Mr.. Lincoln was elected deny the
slave holder the right of going into the Ter.
filories with his slaves under any circum.
stances? 1t undoubtedly does. Is this not
sectional Does The Constitution anywhere
deny them this fight which they claim, no,
nowhere. But il says the powers no, dele.
gated 10 the United States by the Consii,u.
,ion, nor prohibited 10 it bY the states, ara
reserved 10 the states respectively or to the
people. Now since this right has not been
delegated by The states, which hold slaves
to the Federal government, but reserved 10
them, they have the right TO go into the
Territories with their slaves and have the
same protection Of the Federal Government
as other property re ceives, and when the
population is sufficient 10 form a Ccns,i,u-
tion Of i:s own, and be admitted into the
Union as a state let the inhabitants 5y

not be admitted free or slave state
But in opposition 10 this refer to the Pres
ident's Inaugural address in which he de-
cared that the platform upon which he
had been elected, was law unto him, By
which he meant 10 he governed Now
since the slave stales have not delegated
this right 10 the united states, and since
there has been a platform gotten up upo,
which Mr.. Lincoln vas elected and which

slave holders the richt OF going into the
Territories with their slaves, Il would he
unconstitutional TO support The carrying out
Of this platform. And since the Admins.
tration has declared il 10 be law unto him
it would be unconstitutional to support him
in this respect. Yet this wide mou,hed no.
ted Abolilonist, who made the inconsist-
ent speech, have written about, exhoreG
his congregation to preserve the constitution
by supporting these unconstitutional acts,
which to do would be a violation or it,.
And in MI Lincon's second address he de.
J clared that this was peoples contest, and
il was for the purpose of lifting the anifi~
| cal weights from all shoulders and pla.
| cling them on an equal footing. Now what
/ did he mean if the inference be not true,
/ that he meant 10 free the negroes from bon.
dage, and place them on an equality with
the whites? This is the only reasonable
inference can be drawn from uchlanguage.
He likewise said in his Inaugural address
very where it then existed. So here you
see ar Inconsistency between the frs. ard
second address on his part or rather a con-
tradiction. This last quotation from ,he
Presidents inaugural which saysthat he did
not mean 10 interfere with slavery where il
then existed proves to me that he Intended
10 keep it out of the Territories or why
would he not have said something concern
ing it, Though these and many other
thing have been done in violation OF the
Constitution yet this Lagerhead, abou, the
Inconsistency of whose speech have writ

Unconstitutional acts 10 preserve the Con.

principles upon which he and the party TO
which he belongs are opposite to the prn.
