Slavery and make it continental institu-
tion; but the oligarchy saw by the election
of Lincoln that the peaceful action of the
ballot-box would reverse these wrongs and
prevent future aRressions either to extend
Slavery further South or to maintain it in
the regions subjected by the Supreme
Court. They were prepared for this con-
tiugency, and few to arms to assert their
doctrine that Slavery was the best found
alton for the Government, snd have under
taken, like MahoIhet, the propagation of
their faith and institutions by the sword.
Hence it was in vain that Mr.. Critten-
den's appeasing resolutions were passed
in vain that an amendment to the Con-
stitutiou declaring slavery to be irreVoca-
bly, established unless abolished by tie
States within which it existed-no sacri-
fee, not even that of the Constitution, to
give additional guarantees to slavery
where it existed, could save the country
from war, for by that means alone it was
now evident could slavery be made the
dominant principle in the new world. II
is that domination for which they are con-
tending. Independence is sought only as
means of affecting that object. Ouce
possessed by that means of the control of
the Mississippi they think that the North
west would adopt the Confederate Consti-
tuition and sacrifice the freedom of the
negroes to secure tie freedom of the Mis-
sisssippi and that the Middle States and
even New England would not be slow to
follow suit.
And when we remember how far on the
mere menace of disunion the country ac-
quiesced in that Dred Scott doctrine which
alone distinguishes the rebel constitution
from our OWE, can We doubt that if the
rebellion sig successful we will yield that
point to restore the Union? Robert Toombs
will yet call the roll of his slaves on Bun
ker Hill unless we conquer. The coutro-
Versy therefore is between slavery and the
