mlttlng to despotism that puts the proper
ty and life of J9rseymen at the mercy of
: cabal of furious aud bloody imbeciles il
Washington. Let an inventory be taken o
the dem gogues of towards who shrink from
any conflict that may be necessary to defend
the sovereign ty of our State, and vipdicatt
the manhood of our people. Acting within
the limits of the Constitution, Mr.. Lincoln
cannot do too much to bring the revolted
States back to their place within the Union
In such work we should standby him to
the last hour. But may God Aim Ugh ty
never pardon our sins if we support him in
the bloody business of driving and barring
them out, and closing the night of despotism
and African barbarism over their fruitful
fields! Bad as secessionism is, it is not so
great crime against Government, against
civilization, and humanity, as Lincolnsm.
Secessionsm claims to withdraw certain
States from the jurisdiction of the Govern
ment of the United States. There its crime
ends. 1t makes no war upon our constitu-
| tiona form of Government nor upon the
theory of popular sovereignty of which our
country was born. But Linc0lnism seeks to
apnihilate these States, to strike them out
of existence, and totally repudiate the
American principles of Government. Sc
cessionism inficts no wound upon the organ
cknowledges its design to kill third OF
the sovereign States of merica, and its pur-
pose to subyert the sovereignty of the other
two-thrds, is perfectly apparent. Secession
ism? Is a arunaway-LiDcolnism an assassin
For the runaway there is yet hope-there is
a chance for repentance, for reformation,
and for return to the deserted family -
But there is no remedy for Lincolnism OF
assassination. 1t is death. and there is
nothing beyond but the Gesolation of the
grave. Night night! Eternal night. Night
without star, without the hope of dawD!-
With sick heart, we turn away from these
scenes of crimes and carnage to find rest in
the words of the ajectic Prophet of Judea:
"Blessed are the peacemakers."
