But We had intended to refer TO the declaration
Of Mr.. BRoreH that Mr. LINCOLN was "a con-
servasise on the subject of slavery. amounting
almost tn pro-slavery msn." The record Of
Mr.. LISooLs. his public speeches. deny that he is
q conservative upon the question OF slavery or
any issue OF public policy. He is radical and
revolutionary. and constlutionally so While n

ground that the right of revolution. OF secession.

this ground he ju-tihes the revolt of Texas from
Mexico. and the arguments he used upon that
occasion are those now put forth by TIE seces
sionists of the South as Justification for their

Is dishonest. glaringly so. in claiming that Mr.
LINCOLN was conservative on the subject of
slavery-amouniing almost to pro slavery man
He vas supported BY the Abolitonists in 1860 on
account of his sympathy with the views trey
entertained upon the slavery question. and since
the 9TH OF March. 1861, he has been completely

the President il ian old Henry CLAY Whig .
Il is true that Mr.. LINCOLN adopts all the error
which thar eminent statesman and patriot enter

protective tariff. and kindred topics. but he care
