Pertinent Extracts.
On Sunday before the day Of the
extra session of Congress of 1861, adj
journed, Mr.. Lincoln said to Mr.. NAL
lory, Representative Of Kentucky,
in the presence Of Senator Crittenden
and others
"Mr. Mallory, this war, so far as I
have anything to do with it, is car
ried on on the idea that there is a
Union sentiment in these states, which
set free from the control now held
over it by the presence Of the Confed-
crate or rebel power, will be sufficient
to replace those States in the Union
If am not mistaken in this, if there
is no such sentiment there, if the peo-
pie of those states are determined with
unanimity, or with a feeling approach
ing unanlmity, that their States shall
not be members of this Confederacy,
it is beyond the power of the people
of the other States to force them to
remain in the Union; and in that con-
tingency, in the contingency that
there is not that sentiment there
this war is not only an error, it is
criTe."
Daniel Webster in speaking of the
abolition element in this country, with
his characteristic sagacity and fore
sight uttered the following words of
warning to tho people:
of these fanatics and abolitionists
ever get power into their hands they
will override the Constitution, set the
Supreme Court at defiance, change
and make laws to suit themselves
and finally they will bankrupt tie COM
try and delage 1t ,eitA blood.
One year ago Massa Greeley said
in the N. Y. Tribune:
If three months more of earnest
fighting shall not serve to make Sc
rious impression on the rebels--lf the
end of that time shall find us no near
er advanced than its beginning--if
some malignant fate has decreed that
the blood and treasure of the country
shall ever be squandered in fruitless
efforts, let us bow to our destiny, and
make the best attainable peace"
EDWARD EVERETT, who ran upon
the Union, Constitution and observe
ance Of the laws" ticket, with JONI
LELL, of Tennessee, in 1860, in his
letter accepting the nomination for
the Vice Presidency, said:
The suggestion that this Uuion can
be maintained, or if once separated,
restored by military powers of one
section exerted to coerce the other into
submission, is as self-contradlctory as
it is dangerous. 1t comes loaded with
the death smell Of fields wet with
brothers blood. If the vital princi-
pie of all republican governments is
the consent of the governed, much
more does union of co-equal sover-
eigns require as its basis the harmo-
ny of its members and their voluntary
cooperation in its organic functions"
The Richmond Dispatch, the great
organ Of the rebellion in the South,
indorses Mr.. Lincoln's nomination.
1t says
"For our own part we are glad to
hear that Lincoln has received the
We at least, of the
Confederacy, ought to be satisfied with
him, for he has conducted the war ex-
nctly as we ought to wish it to be con-
Quoted. He has confirmed those that
were wavering, heated red-hot those
who were lukewarm. made those zeal
Dus that were careless, converted cold
Indifference into furious passion, and
neutrality into burning
patriotism. For these reasons we are
decidedly in favor of Old Abe, and, if
we could command million of votes
N Yankeedom, he should have them
Ill. He has made the South the
most united people that ever went
orth to do battle with an invader
md for that he deserves the lively
gratitude of every southern man" -.
