Ma. EDITOR We have several Adolf
lIonists in our community, one of whom
/ not long since, near The Town OF Rohrsburo
made moi only dsunion but an inconsis-
ten; and contradictory speech. In The fore
part of which he claimed 10 be constiu.

preserve The Constitution, by supporting
his Administration, and before he go.
through his discourse, cut his own throat
by declaring this war would and should be
carrietsthrough at the setting aside of any
thing that would come in lhe wav Mean
ing that il The Constitution stood in the
! way of carrying on the war successfully il
would be disregarded and SET aside. This
was part OF the inconsistency OF his speech

ing The Administration in all its acts. Lei
MS see il by supporting this Administration
in ali il does would be preserving the Con-
! stitnton. Does not the platform upon
which Mr. Lincoln was elected deny The
slave holder the right of going into The Ter.
ritores with his slaves under any circum
stances II undoubtedly does. Is this moi
sectional Does The Constitution anywhere
deny them this righ! which they claim, no
nowhere. But it says the power. no, dele
gated 10 the United States by the Cons,itu
tIon, nor prohibited TO i, by The states, are
reserved 10 the states respectively or to The
! people. Now since this right has not been
delegated by the states which hold slaves
10 the Federal government, bui reserved 10
than, they have the right to go inio the
Territories with their slaves and have the
same protection OF the Federal Government
as other property re ceives, and when the

But in opposition 10 this refer to the Pres.

clared that the platform uDon which he

which he meant 10 be governed Now
since The slave states have not delegated

there has been platform gottsn mp upo3

slave holders the right OF going into the
