ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
President of the United States, and by bis high
official station, the most prominent Republican
In the country, who as long ago as le4e' In
speech in Congress, thus vindicsted the right
OF revolution or secession:
ANY people, anywhere, being inclined ana
having the power, have the right to rise up ana
shake on the existing Government, and form
new one that suits them better. Thisis most
valuable, most sacred right--a right which,
| We hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Nor 10 this right confined to cases in which the
whole people of an existing Government may
choose to exercise 1t. Any portion OF such peo-
| ple that can may revolutionize aud make theif
oWn of 60 much OF the territory as they innap-
| Il. More than THE: majority of any portion
of such people may revolutioniSe, putting down
minority intermiDgled with or near about
Them, who mag oppose their movements. Such
minority was precisely the case OF the Tories
of our own revolution. Ii Is u quality Of revo-
lulions not to go by old lines or old laws, but to
break up both and make new onee.-EztTdcL

BENJAMIN srAHToS.
Mr. srANrsN was elected In 1861, as the Re-
publh,an or Fusion candidate, Lieutenant Gov
ernur Of Ohio, aud ia ez efsio President of our
State Senate. In speech in Congress, on the
2s.h of February, 1851 tsee Congregational GI'b'
of Feb. 90, 1861, page I.9s5), Mr.. STANTON
said:
Seven or eight States now deny their allegi-
ance to this Government; have organized sep
/ ars te Confederacy, and have declared their In
dependence Of this Government. Whether that
/ independence is to be maintained or not is with
The future. If they shall maintain their position.
and if public opinion In the seeded States shall
austain the authorities there for year or two
10 come, 60 as to show that nothing but war
of subjugation and conquest can bring them
back, /, for one, am disposed to recognize that
Independence.
on the evening Of the 18Th of March, 1861,
Mr.. STANTON, then candidate for United States
Senator, made speech in this city. 10 the
course Of his speech, as reported for the Gin
cinnad Commercial, be said among other things;
Let the beauties and the blessings Of seces
sion fully develop themselves, andulet the peo-
| ple Of those States have ample time and oppOr
| tunity to determine whether they will perna-
neutIy abide By and sustain the Southern Con-
federacy, and submit 10 the rule Of the men
who are now controlling their desliniee. II
they do, then, 10 my judgment, measures should
be taken 70 call national convention In the
manner prescribed by the Constitution, with
full power to determine the question OF recog
Inizjng their separation and independence
And II 1t shall be clearly demonstrated, upon
full and fair trial, that the people Of the seced
ed States are determined to maintain separate
national existence, and that nothing but war
of subiugstion aad conquest can maintain the
authority Of the Federal Government in these
d States, we then ought to acquiesee In the me-
cessity which compels the separation. For Il
must be obvious TO every man who will do
his own thinking, that permanent conquest
and subjugation Of even seven States, and
holding them as conquered provinces, is an
limpossibilIty But any attempt 70 subjugate
the seeding States, necessarily rallies to their
support the whole Of the Border Slave States;
40 that, instead Of seven, We shall certainly
Ibaye fourteen, and probably fifteen States
10 Conquer. Any attempt BY the free States
to conquer the elaveholding States, must
fail, and result in final separation or In a
serTile war, which must result In the Affi-
canfzation Of the Southern slsveholding States.
BENJAMIN =. WADE.
Mr.. WADE Is q member Of the United States
Senate, now in his second term, and one Of the
most prominent Republicans in that body. AS
long ago a. 1855, ct mass meeting in Maine,
Mr. WADE uttered the following sentiments:
There was no freedom at the South for either
black or white and he would strive to protecs
the free soil Of the North from the same blight
ing curse. There was really no Union between
the North and South; and be believed no two
nations upon the earth entertained feelings Of
more bitter Taneof toward each other than these
two sections Of the Republic. The only saliva
sion of the Union, therefore, was 10 be found In
diyest!nR It entirely from all taint of slavery.
There was no Union with the South. Let US
have Union, or let Us sweep away this rem
nank which We call q Union. 20 for Union,
vhere ALL MEN ARE EQUAL, OR FOR
NO UNION AT ALL, and 90 for right.
In speech In the United States Senate, June
p5, 1862, Mr.. WADE said:
would reduce these sristocratlo Shareholders
10 utter poverty. know they are conceited; |;
/ know they are essentially srIstoeIstic. lam
fully persuaded that their minds and their feel
ines are 90 in antsgonism to republican demo-
cratic doctrines that 1t is impossible to reconcile
them, and We shall never have peace until We
have reduced the leaders to utter poverty and
taken thereby their influence away. ] am for
doing 1t. Itought to be done.

The Joarnel Of this city is one Of the most
blatant Of the Republican Abolition papers in

following extracts from It's issue Of March q,
1861, show how II can argue in favor Of . dis,
solution Of the Union: @
lila heterogeneous Union which has gone
to the country TO be passed on, and which fall
