the late Black Republican party MIR. Linz
coin, as its great slandard-bearer has mp 10
March 9th, 1862, been able TO elude fair
and square exposition of his real opinions
ard fnal purposes by cunning, evasive
executive demeanor, and his friends have
unfortunately sndeavored, with his silent
approbalion) to eoerce private opinion and
secnre blind and Submissive adherence
20 any dogma they might propose. and an
acquiescence ii, any and every act they
should perform. II is needless 10 reier TO
The high handed means used for this pur.
pose, TO the imprisoning of men and women,
mobbing of newspaper Offices, seizing OF
private papers, and assaults upon unofIend-
ing citizens. Our people have been fatter-
ed into the belief that it was necessary 10
submit to those things in order TO ''Preserve
me Union, /" and that all would end we.--
While step by step civil war was breeding.
aud we were told that ~aobody was hurt"
that The insuneciion would prove the meres,
farce, to be cheap'y and quickly ended b.
at most IS 600 troops in ninety days We
have drtfted along in war one year. Onr
army sometimes defeated, and many times
victorious on well contested fields, and now
following series of unparalleled victories
for the Union army in quick succession, We
are bronght up standing by very remark
able message Of MIR. Lincoln, the pith of
which is in the following words
q recommend the adoption of a joint
resolution by your honorable bodies, which
! is in The following words;
"Rssolued, That lhe United States oushl
10 co operate with any Sta'e which may
adopt gradual adjustment OF slavery, giU-
ing 10 snch State pecmni0sy ui0, 10 be used
/ by such State in lis discretion TO compensate
for the Inconvenience, public and private,
/ produced by such change oil system"
Os.ensibly this is '.bran new thing"
although many of Us have supposed some
project OF the kind lay somewhere conceal
ed under the pIanks.of the Chicago platform,
and that at what they deemed the proper
time the cat was 10 come from the bag -
The administration either lacked tie cour-
age or irankEess to commence this war
with such proposition hanging on The out
er wall. and no " in view OF the recent sue
cesses of the federal arms. with the pros
pect of an early suppression OF the rebel
lion, doubt not il takes good m any peo>
pie by surprise.
Extracting the oil from out this proposed
resolution, and wedding ii OF rat-traps aud
goodly amount of executive cunbirg, what
/ is il! Who does il come from and for what
purpose Mr.. Lincoln writes on piece
paper that s'the United States ought 10
boy up the southern niggers;" that we
northern people, at his bidding, must give
our hard earnings TO purchase the freedom
Of southern niggers. He hands the paper
to Consress-asks then TO say so too. But
Mr. Lincoln needs some excuse for making
this modest demand, and what is il He
has made up his mind iha. il is the chief
meaus OF ending the rebellion, aud calls
general attention 10 it..
Presuming that will be sworn into Fort
Lafayette By my Black Republican neigh
bors, or gigged into Fort Warren by the
mandatory instrument Of VIM. II. Seward,
I propose 10 give this matter some little at
tenlion, perhaps not much because oil
aay constitutional right | may have, but
because the President seems 10 indicate
and as a special favor confer the liberty
With the special pleading by which MIR
Lincoln attempts to excuse or justify and
support kss resolution, | do defy him or any
other man 20 Pot another so strong an argu-
ment to the world of our inability to fight
down the rebellion. Has il indeed come 10
this that Americans canBo: restore the old
| Union Just as it was before? If we cannot
then we are 10 have neU one or none al
all.
If il is for the good old Union we are con
tending, let Us fight on until We have il re-
stored to us ia all It's native purity, grandeur
and glory But if all this sacrifice is, aiie
all, bui to break up the old Union and rur
the risks of making a new one atier the
pattern OF Greeley. Garrison. Phillips Go.
