intervene, and It might hereafter pass
some law that We did not Ike, and II We
complained they would tell US we must
put up with ii, because we asked them to
open the door Of Intervention, and the
point was settled but, behold when
Kansas herself attempts TO settle her own
business, they shift round and attempt to
force her to be slave 6tate against her
will. They are as unislsoaable as bal }
with toy cry if you give y 70 them, cry
if you dom give It to them and like the
spoiled child, they must now be spanked
and put to rest. fhave heard 1t preached
ever since ! can remember, that all we
asked wns to let US manage our own State
affairs as we pleased, particularly our own
peculiar institution; that the North want
ed to take them away from % without
compensation that II the North would

at Lincoln for letting Ms do a. we please !:
some Of them denying the rebellion hav-

fore, Lincoln j. IN abolitionist for bring
ing in the sacred name Of niggsr ct this
time And some Union men as very
hard to be pleased with anything the
Government does. and such men rarely
complain at the iniquity being enacted BY
the rebels. II Jcf. Davis had come out
with the same message, they would have
pronounced it the most liberal, fair, i'm
partial, statesmanlike document that VAS
ever offered for the consideration Of people
Of common sense. Oh! consistency,
thou art jewel made Of gum elastic, and
can be stretched 10 suit tho conscience.
The cry Of Abolitionist is the whip
that is continually held up to scare the ig-
nofant into the Democratic, and now the
secession ranks. If you look at things
with common sense, you are IN Abolition
