a useful lesson from the Anti Corn League of
England. When Sir Robert Peel, their avowed
friend. was made frs, Lord OF the Admiralty,
and the London Times said the repeal OF the
Corn Laws WIS a foregone conclusion, they held
a meeting and resolved:
"WuEREAs In lS43 this League raised fifty

There, however is not where our danger lies.
When Mr. Lincoln was asked TO provide for the
safety Of the officers OF colored regiments. he

the Ohio election" II isnot in Southern bullets,
but in Northern opinion. that the real danger OF

Still, Abraham Lincoln not my first choice.

education was to be conducted at an expense of

should have made better rogre-s. The Score
tary OF the Treasury had been spoken OF in this
relation but his life has not given the assurance
of such sound pincple a. TO warrant the people
in trusting him AT this crisis. The Governor who
sacrificed Margaret Garner has no heart. The
Secretary who, when fourteen States opposed
Seward flung himself forward in his defense, has
no principle The great trouble with Seward l.
that he ignores the revolution that is now shak
ing the nation We must demand of the Gov
eminent civil action sufficiently energetic for the
crisis
We are no longer TO demand action of Lincoln
or the Generals merely, but of Congress- and the
thing to be demanded is that slavery be hence
