B9-Mr. Lincoln was cons:itutionally
elected, The people should never forget
that. But, in the popular vote the majori-
| ty against him was more than a million in
the whole Union, aud nearly loo, 900 10 the
| free States. Mr. Lincoln should never
forget that. There is q moral lesson in
that majority which be ought to respect I:

should admOnish MIR. Lincoln that he can
never consummate his fanatical and treas
| enable schemes.
