The advent to power Of such party. The
most solemn words ever spoken By these pat
rio, sages, were words Of warning to their
eountrymen, to beware Of Sectional Parties
But these words Of warning we're passed BY
as the idle winds New England puritanism
triumphed, aud il needed no frst gun to be
fred, to complete what was accomplished in
fact and to make more sure and certain, the
consnmation for which for thirty odd years
they labored, the leading ideas and infamous
doctrines Of the New England Abolitonists

joker, who de6les the chair OF Washington
and mistakes the Chicago Platform for the

This party thus accidently coming into

the people, set about Immediately and iu the
most Infamous manner to brand with vile

their present action is fear-they fear to lay
down the power-not the power given by the
Constitution for the faithful administration of
the government--but the power usurped by
Lincoln and his minions from the highest to
the lowest. They know full well that day Of
reckoning must soon come They know that

the widow and the orphan, and the nameless
crimes for which they are responsible, will not
escape the notice of just God They know
also, that war and bloodshed are as abhorent
