public, at the time the Hon, Samuel A. Pur-
Vance withdrew from Curtin's Cabinet, that
the State Administration was rapidly ex-
ifbiting its worthlessness and sinking to in
fanny" This language was uttered by an
Abolition Journal in May, 1861 Since that
period the Pittsburgh Gazette, another Abo.
rlition journal, clearly demonstrated that Cur
tin has lost the confidence of large portion
of his own partisans. and boldly asserted, be-
fore the assembling of the Pittsburgh Con
vention, that his denomination would be a
disgrace to the Abolition party and the Ger =
tain forerunner of Its igneminious defeat

Ceptralization--the Doctrine of a stronger
Government
~The central idea, in our political opinion,
at the beginning was, and until recently con-
tnusd TO be, the equality of men. And al
though it was Away sisubmitted patiently to,
whatever inequality there seems to be as
matter of actual necessity, its constant work
ing has been steady progress towards the
practical equality of all men.
Let past differences as nothing be, and,
with steady eye OH the real issue, let us in
angurate the good old central ideas of the re
nublic. We can do 1t. The human heart is
with us God is with US. We shall again be
able, not to declare that all the States, as
States are equal. nor yet, that all citizens, as
citizens, are equal; but renew the broader,
better declaration, including both these and
much more, that all men are created equal
Il Lincoln speech deliuered Sept. l6, 1850.
What a commentary upon the history of

death of John Quincy Adams, the people have
Tor their standard bearer Abraham Lincoln,

which the Sage of Quincy proclaimed, and
contending for veal or woe, for life Or death
