in this vice:
In 1sco we supported Stephen A. Douglss
cattd, and the plntform Of the party which
Iouinattd him were In accordance with the
Constitution, and formed 6aa1s upon which
all t1ue union men could stand, both in the
North and In the eouth. He nas dcfeated BY
the action of certain men at the South who
arc now the leaders In the rebellion. They
have ignored the national compact, denounc-

those with WHOM they we're formerly allied.
They have from that oay to this made war
