Sd Ultimate rnin and. snbjectionl of the !
nation 10 an Abolition party.
Dear sir, this was the career of the Israel
ties and this the ruin brought upon them
BY that fatal word change; invented, intro
duced and rung by demagogues and cor
rupt politicians, who have been the over
throw and downfall of our beloved country.
Well, sir, must return 10 the point at issue
the means,-in the election OF 1860
Falsehood was resorted to as means; SLAM
der, detraction, perjury, bribery and treason,
were called in, and the whole, united, con-
siituted part of the means, by which the
Abolitionisis and Republicans were too sue
cessful But in addition to falsehood and
all its vile and unworthy associates, there
were other means used, equally degrading
10 the American nation, all of which | shall
treat in their regular order. The first | shall
deal in-wholesale and genera-will be
the Republican Abolition falsehoods. in de

fatal 10 the good orde, of society and The
moral institutions of the country, as the
change they effected was fatal 10 i,s poliii
cal aud pecuniary interests. Dignity of
character aud morality of purpose, were
alike sacrificed. All orders, all sexes, and
all professions of the entire Republican and
Abolition family, were contaminated with
The virus; however sacred, was polluted
The temple OF Justice and the temple oil ie
ligion, The judges seat and sacred desk,
the doggery and the haunts OF debauchery
and dissipation Not only were the ermine
and indgement-seat contaminated, out the
sacred desk aud the pulp, were polluted
and some OF those who claim TO be minis
ters OF lhe Gospel,-ambassad OF our Sa-
vior heavens bearers oil dispatches aud
good lidings, standard benrers OF the holy
cross and those who administer the holy
sacrAments, -prosiraled themselves from
their high and lofty stations, TO which none
ont Apostles and Ministers, ordained by
Heavens sanction, should presume 10 as

disgraced a bachanalian feast, in the most
degraded days Of Greece. Such men are
made for the tables of money changers, not
for casting out devils. They might grace a
gamblers board, but they would polIute a
temple. For the honor of the holy religion
OF our fathers, and the sacred names OF
Ministers and Apostles, | hope there wsre

Such were the demoraliziug effects of
means used in 1860, and such the end. Bnt
other promises were made besides those by
which the means were used. We were
promised sound currency and plenty OF it.
How has that promise been fulfilled /, is
! useless for.me to relate what everybody
knows. Thus il can be seen that the end
ins,ifies the means In short, The means
have brought this present trouble upon US.
Now in conclusion. will say to my DEM
