TEE MEANING OF TIE CRISIS.
Every cannon fired to-day is better Anti
Slavery lecture than Thousand men like MY
sclfor my brother (Dr. Pierpont) could make.
Every cannon that Halleck has fired, or Nc
prolonged laughter and applause, is better
yondcr Senate, Or Faneuil Hall, for it teaches
the Northern people the meaning Of the cri-
sis, and takes them up to the responsibility Of
the hour: Ny second hope Of the death of

TEE MESSAGE OF TIE PRESIDENT.
The third il based on another consideration.
For the first time the gates Of the holy Of hol-
les have opened and we have heard a voice
from tic sanctuary Of God. From the Cabl-
net, before which in impressive and utter con-
fidenee the nineteen millions Of the North
point to day, we have heard voice. 1t IS the
message Of Abraham Lincoln to the Border
States.
1 look upon this Message Of the President
in the light OF George Washington's resolu-
ton. 1t Is the first voice from the Govern
mcnt-a very pregnant one.

net loud applause.] You here think

I come up here from the millions. Hook up

The first line Of the Presidents Message
tlemen Of the Border States, release your
slaves; We will pay yon for them" The Con
sfitution, in peace, gives him no warrant, the
Constitution in war gives him absolute war
rant, even to pour out the Treasury Of the
United States at the feet of Kentucky. he
rccognizes the fact that in war tile C0nstitu-
lion is the root Of the power Of the Govern
| 1ncnt, but that its branches spread beyond all
| constitutional limits. That when the emer-
| gency Of the State requires it he can do any,
thing. He can interfere with slavery to any
extent. Hc eau tra1np1e it under his feet, OF

The President In his message hns opened
the door Of emancipation foot, and if he
holds out and continues in the right, soon I
| will be able to drive right through, with q
couch and six, and William Lloyd Garrison as
driver. Thai is, the President recognizes
what believe to be the constitutional eight

the State He recognizes the right to throw

| words, 1t was heretofore believed that he
| hadn't emigrated from Kentucky, that be
hadn't got his eyes opened yet, any wider than
| would enable him to see tho limits Of the State
| Of Kentucky alone The message proves
/ that he takes In the whole Union, aud
words. he lays himself open to the suspicion
Of suying: "Gentlemen it may be possible

shall have to conquer with emancipation [ap-

1v1lue the Message, not because Mr. Abra-
ham Lincoln speaks, for he can neither pre-
| eervc slavery nor kill it. It does not lie in
the power Of any single individual to do either,
It lies in the Government, in the public. He
is nothing without the approval and support
Of the public. What desire is, to impress
you with deep conviction Of the responsi-
bility which rests upon you as part OF the
19,Coo, COOS You cannot expect the President
to- do this work alone. We arc his right hand
and his left. How much Will you do? He
has come ont from the Cabinet and held out
his hand To how much will the people re-
am with you"
TIE SCHEME OF TIE SHAREHOLDERS.
It was originally designed by the rebe1
leaders to be in Washington about the 4th oi
March, in order to prevent the inauguration
States, and to claim recognition as such
Their object Was not to dissolve the Union
but to control it. To leave our little New
England out in the cold, and to mold the resi-
Of the Union 50 as to protect the institution
When Kentucky mud Tennessee said, Vi
would like to 60 North, what did Davis say
Why, yo4 cont 60; nc want YOU What i
this tbs IN exhibition Of? Why, oftheiEs So eallet
right to 60 South, Why has not Kentucky
right to 80 North3 But the real meaning is
that they were trying to fortify an idca-try
+ ing to defend an institution; they wanted tha
. power, and Kentucky couldn't go. Believ'
conspiracy.
