t JAMES WATSON WEBB,
Mr.. Lincoln's Minister to Brazil,
was delegate to the Convention that
nominated Fremont, in 1856, and
Lincoln in 1860. In the former Con-
vention he made speech, which was
loudly applauded, but no sentence re-
ceived more boisterous applause than
the following; ,
Our people--loving order, loving law, and
willing to abide by the ballot>box--come tok
! gether from all parts Of the Union and ask
/ US to give them nomination which, when
fairly put before the people, will unite pub.

will restrain and repel this pro slavery ex
tension, and this aggression Of the slaveo-
cracy. What else ere they doing? They
tell you they are willing to abide by the
ballot box, and are willing to make that

We ,0iN drive IL back s,oora in hand, and so

with them. Loud cheers and cries Of
"Goodh] Northern gentlemen, on your &C

Gods blessing, present to this country a

strong that, though the ballot box, we shall

consequence is ciw1 ,0dr-nothing more.
nothing less, but civil war, ask then what
is our first duty?
HON. ERAsTUs HOPKINS.
In the same strain spoke the Hon.
Erastus Hopkins, another member of
the Convention. He said:
II peaceful means fail US, and we are
driven to the last extremity, when bal
lots are useless, then we will make bullets IF
tcctive.
HON. JoHH P HALE.
Hon. John P. Hale Of New Hamp-
shire, was also delegate to the Con-
vention, and addressed it in long
speech, in which he said:
He congratulated the Convention upon the
spirit otunanimity with which it had done
its wo rk. | bellows (said he) that this is
not so much Convention to change the ad,
ministration Of the Government, as to say
whether there shall be any Government to
be administered You have assembled, not
to say whether this Union shall be preserv-
ed, but to say whether it shall be blessing
or scorn and Kissing among nations.
AS this gentleman is one Of the
main pillars in the Black Republican
edifce, and has been twice elected by
them to the United States Senate, we
have examined his record pretty close
ly, as developed in his speeches in the
Senate. On the 31st of May, 1848,
he said: ....... b..
Let the consequences be what they may
| am willing to place myself upon the princi-
pie OF human right to stand where the Word
Of God and my own conscience concur in
quences. And in the end, if this Union,
bound as it is to associations, has no other
principle Of cement than the blood Of human
slavery; LET 1T SUNDER.
Again on the 18th Of July he said:
All the horrors of desoation I can look
that moral ruin which must fall upon US
when we have 80 far prosti'uted ourselves as
to become the pioneers of slavery in the
Territories. -. ..
From another speech of Hale, de-
livered in the Senate, February 26,
1856, extract the following blood and
thunder morsel: ..c- -.e, ... u..
thank God that the Indications OF the
present day seem to promise that the North
have at last got to the wall, and will go no
further. hope so. The Senator says there
may be power that SHALL say, "Thus far
shalt thou go, and no further" Sir, hope
1T COME. No sir. the issue must come,

y y SIR Puritan blood has not always
shrsnk from, even those encounters; and
when tho war has been proclaimed with the
knife, and the knife to the hilt, the steel has
sometimes glistened in their hands; and
when the battle was over, they were not al
ways second best. lig y,Hn.
CARL sHURz. ~ a5r Nj .t.
In the same vein do we find Mr..
Carl Shurz, a delegate from Wiscon>
sin to the Chicago Convention that
nominated Mr.. Lincoln, and recently
Mr.. Lincolns Minister to Spain,
speaking in st. Louis, in 1860: 4a
May the God OF human nature be aroused
and pierce the very soul of our nation with
al energy that shall sweep as the bosom of
destruction, this abomination from the land.
You call this re eyolution. 1t is. In this we
need revolution; we must, we shall have it!
Let it come! .a eefr.t tE.4.g
