SLAVERY OR UNION
Fut not alone in Kentucky was the action Of Mr.
Lincoln marked by this torbearance and patience
Everywhere he displayed the same spint. Ii Was
only when events proved that II was Impossible TO
get aonsrwith mild measures that he resoited TO
stronger measures At length il became necessary
10 touch the institution of Slavery IN the Rebel
States That institution, 1t became cVGent, was
the main support OF Rebellion. Everybody knows
that under Rebel masters, every slave maintained
Rchcl in the field. Mr. Lincoln saw there was no
use in irving 80 put down the Rebellion with one
hand and To hold up Slavery with the other, and he
di3 what any wise man would have done IN his
lt'ace. He struck the main prop of the Rebellion.
/ Applausel. Some say Mr.. Lincoln had no bust
ness 20 strike Slavery. Mr.. Lincc-n did not want
10 do go. IL became question with MN Whether
the Union or Slavery was 10 be saved aud, when
that question made, he hadno ehoiceand ne dld
not hesitate. ApPeese.I lie gave ,he hooel, lal Ia,
warning and plenty Of tine Ia repent and come back
into tho Mon. They mockcdat his warning and ms
invitation and he struck their main say In ny
\ Judgment he did right. Applause There =,
suppose 10 proposition better settled man This
thai in time orwGr he who controls and directs
the ,nil.ary force Of the nation has the power 70 do
whatever within brlligereut law. Is necessary 10
the success OF the war. The Constitution PROVIDED
for raising armies, and made the President Com
imanderinC hiei. II gave him. therefore, iuii power
10 take all steps necessary 10 the cnoctua prosecL-
ton of the war. The best statesmen in the land
have said and the proposition has passed unchai-
enged. that in case Of iDsunecilon or foreign wal,
the Institution Of Slavery must be SUBJECT 10 eueh
disposal as the national interests sholId require
In other words that with instruction ~ sidFo-
holding state the wHole power over slavery must
pass 10 the National Government. IN my Jude-
meDt, when instruction gave the President power
over Slavery, with the power came the duiy TO pm
an end 10 il. Mr. Lincoln Was bound to 90 That
which was necessary ior the salvation 81 lAe ho-
public. Applause.
An Old Roman maxim declares that 1.-THE safety
OF the Republic If the supreme law There is no.
aw-thcTc can be no lgw-highcr than the safety oi
10 insure the safety Of tho country, ia right and NJ
To be- done, and must be done Applause But
we are not obliged 10 resort TO any extra Consiln-
tiouol views Tor the Constitution, as nave Salh,
provides for the case. When Congress guthon~ea
The raisiue ard ORGANIZATION Of armies for the sup
preston Of the Rebellion the President, by It's very
Terms became COmmender-in-t hief. The safety OF
the Republic is committed TO hun. and II II night,
nav more IL is his duty 10 overcome and destroy
whatever opposes itself 20 H. Under the Consutl-
tion he had authority TO proclaim freedom to The
slaves and he simply performed PLAN ddty when
lie executed #. iAppsuse.I
