lobster, through two columns and n half.
in reply to n "tcn.lincr" Of ours, which
shows that we hit him in very tender
spot.
In reply To all his boldcrdush, that
Republicans are ajo'iticni,h Sc, because
anti-slavsry, we have only to refer him TO
tho last spociul message of President
Lincoln, whore he soys his proposition
(gradual and compensated emancipation

thority 10 interfere wim Slavery in hc

sit'on which the Republican party occu.
pics. l. there anything in this which
looks like abolifionism or Interference
With thu figuts Ut the stated The Al
rcHi'cr willflly misreprosonts, when it
oss,rtS that the RepublIcane, us a party,
have over advocated general emancipation
without the conocnt Of the stutcs. Whot
II few uliraists may have said is not TO be
,ukcn us tho position oftho party. sUM.
EEE, WADE, THAD. STEVENS, and FE.sEN
JEE. never entertained such a doctrine.--
IN, Republican party was organized upon
the principle Of No MORE SLAVE TERRI
TORY aud on that rock We still stand
The idea OF lorcible interference with sla-
worry in tue otatcs, where II exists by law i,
was not dreamed Of, nor can il be shown
in any of our creodo.
II is truo that the rebellion, eprung up-
ON US by the traitors OF the South, (and
whieh wouh neVcr haze occurred had sid-
very mol erisied Merc.) makes it necessary
that VIC should use every proper means,
not forbidden by tho Constitution, to
speedily suppress it. And, for this pur-
pose, We bulIcvc, as do oil loyal men,
whether Democrats, Republicans or what
not, that the slaves and all other property
Il rebels, who are guilty Of overt acts Of
treason, should DO conGscated. Rebels
must be made to suilor The consequences
OF their own wicked acts, or else there
will be no security hereafter. When
persons show such concern for tho rebels,
AS to argue that thoir property should not
be touched aud thut our soldiers should be
ntgger-catehers for them, II justics tho
suspicion that they are diSloyul ut hcart.
rosteri,y will brand them ss tho Tories
oi the sgo in which they lived. These
pretended Unionitts have suddenly be-
oomo greut lovers Of tho Constitutionl
1t wus uncohSiiilt'ona!, they said, to CO.
cree th. South--it wus uaeoasiiiuiionai
ior tho President to call cut 10, 900 troops
lit was unconstitutional TO suspend the
h0bcas corpus-it was unconstitutional "
issue treasury notcs and il is now uRoon-
siituiioaal, thcy say, TO contiscntc rebel
property aud punish traitorsl Everything
is Unconstitutional with them, except the
Rebellion.
We DO not think Il such a crime, as tho
Advertiser makes it out, to DO opposed to
slavery. The "niggor institution" may
have churms for our neighbor, but IL has
none for us. W. shalt ey er war it as an
evil, not by proposing foreibe cmancipa-
ton or Interference with State Rights, but
~ preventing its extension and urging
such measures as the President has pro-
posed. Let the negroes, thus freed, be
eolonizcd TO some congenial cline. "The
Union mast be preserved, slavery or no
slavery
Those who say they are for preserving
the Union If slavery is preserved, but not
otherwise, arc no better than the rebels,
en,oftsining these sentiments makes
a man an Gboiitioaisis, then were WASH
ISGyoS, JEFrIRsoS, ADAMS, JicKsos, and
CLAY pbolitlomsts. Washington said,
''t he had one desire moro than another,
il was that he might eco some plan udop-
tod for tho gradual extinction Of slavery
Jefferson said, Tho trembled in view oi
the consequences Of slavery in this coun'
,y." Henry Cluy said, "ho human power
could make him vote 10 extend slavery
over ono isch Of territory now free
Were these men GIoliiiosists!
In the better days OF the Democratic
party, before il sold out to Rhett, Yancoy
u Co., il was full oijust such abolitioaisis
The Ohio Democracy, timo and again
not only resolved against slavery as al
evil, but said thoy were in favor or"miti
gs!ias and finally erddieating IT," Thi
was democracy in 1850, but it is abolition
ism now, To be democrat to-day Il
the party sense, is to gein for uiggerdom
which is only another name for rebellion
: and 10 denounoe all loyal men as a5oliiioN
isis. This is ya!laadi9hGm democracy,
