can and will, manage it in their own way,
and let the people who lose the government
to the inheritance of which they were born,
take care of the action which u few brief
months will bring, and then employ every
power, and brave every danger to give in
the legitimate way, u fair and full express
sion of that great popular voice upon which
the veal Of the nation depends But to
say that we would acknowledge the indie
pcndencc of that section over which we
have sought and seek, not without hope, to
restore the authority of the Constitution,
as we hope to restore it over the dcmorali.
zed and revolutionary North would be to
deny our position and abandon the great
object for which we strive, by eschewing
the only effective means for its accomplish
ment, and to cause our arms to be parayzed
at the very time when we should strike the
effective blow. If ever so much impressed
with the belief that such a result must at
some time be reached, | would insist that
it be deferred till an administration more
competent than the present to adopt such
II measure to the honor and interest of our
nation can be invested with the trust. tap
pears to me very much like insanity for a
Democrat to propose to the party now in
power such measure, to be ad iustcd and
executed by that party. The person or
press capable Of indorsing such policy can
scarcely be justified in claiming to be stan
dard or excmplar of Democracy. If we We
any confidence in the capacity of that De.
mocracy which has ever manifested its su.
perior ability to grapple with and dispose
of the great questions of the country, it i,
proper for US, above all things, to insist
that the whole subject of our relations tC
the seeded States shall be resolved in the
councils of a Democratic administration, i
to inaugurate such a one be, as trust i
! is, possible. In such an event the exigen
cies of the times and the occasion will Civ,
sufficient instruction to judicious statesmen
laboring to promote the purity of the gov
ernment and to preserve the integrity o

time Of their action and responsibility shal
have come.
The foregoing remarks exhibit the promi

colleagues who have becn named in thi
connection (but as to that they will spcal

sal Of immediate recognition, nor bclcy
that our constituents would justify us in s.

The $500 Clause In Danger.

Notwithstanding the recent vote in the
House of Roprescntativos-l0O to 50-in
favor of retaining the communication clause
in the conscription bill, there is reason to
fear its repeal The President, Secretary
of War; and Provost Marshal General, are
actively and energetically at work to induce
the republican members of the House, who
are in favor of it, to change about and 90
in for its abrogation, They are applying
the party drill, and it is thought they will
accomplish their purpose, The admins

Remember n.

Let the people remember that Lincoln is
persstently urging the repeal of the $500
clause in the conscription bill; the object of
which is to enable him to drag every man
from his family aud his home with the des-
potic obst,nacy which characterizcs the king
of Dahomey in gathering his victims for the
slaughter.

s.I'il Vote for Lincoln, II Die
GTT III -

Was the expression we heard a young man
make the other day 1t was, undoubtedly,
thoughtlessly uttered, but there is matter
for serious reflection in it, How many
thousand Of young men, who voted for
Lincoln in 1860, have died on the field Of
battle and in the hospitals, in consequence
of giving that te,-wth an equal mum
Der who did not vote for Lincoln. Voting
for Lincoln has cost this country the lives
of millions of men, the flower of the coun-
try, and brought the nation to the verge
of bankruptcy, and the dissolution Of the
Union. And voting for and re-elccting
Lincoln but indefinitely prolongs the strug-
gle, as long. as there can be man or q
dollar raised to prosecute the war and
make the restoration of the Union impos-
sible. But those who vote for Lincoln are
not always very willing 'to die for it, and
are generally more profuse in words than
deeds, "I' vote for Lincoln, if die toi
it" is very easily said, but how few OF
them are willing to be in at the death, the
operations Of the draft shows, when near
ly all swear out pay out or run away

Whercupon, Mr.. Estill, of Holmes was
declared duly elected.

Unon motion, it was resolved, that the
delegate come forward and say whether he
stands upon the Platform adopted to-day
and will conform his acts to it in his duties
at Chicago.
Mr.. Estill thcreupon, stated that he en-
dorsed the Resolutions and would act them
out-that in the beginning he looked upon
war as certain to result in disunion and the
three years of conflict had served to confirm
that beliei,-that he was opposed to the war
however and by whosoeyor prosecuted, for
in it were to be seen only individual ruin
and national destruction. That he was for
peace, for restoration Of the Union but
rather than to wage a war for subiugation
determination, and the establishment Of "A
military despotism upon the ruins of Con
stitutional Liberty, he would favor rccog-
milton.
Thoreupon, Mr.. Estil was declared unan-
imously elected.
The Convention then proceeded to vote
for the other Delegate as follows

A C.thoIIo VI.w OF sIaverv,

The Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph, the
official paper of the Catholic Church in the
West, contains the following article on
the subject of slavery:
The interests of humanity and the well
fare of the white laborer in particular, are
involved in the question Of slavery more
than in any other, and it Is the duty of
men to prepare their minds consultations
ly, that they may, as far as possible, main
tain what is best for all the people. Ev-
cry one acknowledges that slavery is an
evil. No man who is free would consent
to be a slave. 1t is sbhorrent to his ma.
ture, AS mere question of justice, no
one can sllege any right to reduce hu-
man being to that miserable condition. II
is detestabls to lmiud and heart. And,
moreover, he who reduces . free man 10
slavery is excomm uuicated by the Church.
Slavery is the cause Of all our national
trouble. Il was for slavery that the war
commenced, and the blood Of the brave
men who have fallen on both sides in this
terrible war has been shed by this insa-
table monster. The hope of its restora-
tiou is not abandoned There are multi
tudes of men who would love to see it in
the ascendant, as it was before, As 1t
is now. suppressed in almost all the
South, and as no such Just oeca-
sion for It's total extinction can arise
bagain in the present generation, would
il not be ssad mistake in the Chris.
tian and the statesman 10 aid In any way
its restoration2 What excuse can be al
legged To justify such a hideous wrong 2
Is the human heart so steeled against
justice aud mercy that, to crafty u politi.
cal prejudice, IL would build up again
that monstrous evil which has covered the
land with mourning2 We trust. thatino
Catholic heart will do so. The curse oil
our nation is almost biotted out; but let il
not be said that Catholic citiEens took pity
on the brute and bound its wounds, and
played the part Of q good Samaritan TO th
monster. We do not disturb the repose oi
the politician by telling him for whom he
should vote; this is q matter for his OWE
lconscienee; but he who supports the pre-
tensions of slavery. after all he has seen o
its. ravages Is not likely 70 be disturbed ir
i mind or heart by anything in this world,
he may lie down with the lion and not feal
to be mistaken for lamb. "g

dent is added, which requires, the assent Of
q majority of the electors of each section
to elect; and another clause requires the
assent Of majority Of Senators and Rep.
resentatiEes from each section to the pas
sage of g law. The fourtsenth section, as
above quoted, provides that any one of the
four sections may secede at pleasure; With
out the right of remonstTRnee even of the
other 'threei and also that any section may
permit State belonging to 1t to secede.
1t is obyions lhat the adoption Of this
plan would be equivalent to an Immediate
dissolution of the Union. The sonth would
go at once; after which Yallandigham,
voorhees,, and Pendletou. would demand
the secession Of the Northwest, while Joe
Lane Bigler, and others would demand the
withdrawal of the Pacific States. This
was the plan of the Oopperhads in 1851.
1t failed; and in 1864 they have hit upon
the scheme of the Chicago platform, which
prom the war for the Union failure,
and demands an immediate cessation Of
hoatilities. 1saI 5t3ilya ~ fa-s4t .fs.i5i5l
1t viii be remarked, also, that the above
CopPerhesd plan for dissolYing the Union
divides the North into three sections, while
the'South isleft undivided. Aid Il toiI be
seen, dlsO, that tie States cannot seesds from

When the proposition was denounced by
Mr.. Bingham, January 8, 1853, as We have
said, quite number of YGllaudigham,s-
friends came to the rescue, and among
them Pendleton. We quote from the
Globe, as follows:
Mr.; YeatmAn. Il was proposition to
amend the 6oustitution. 80 - '-'
Mr.. Bingham. No, sir; it was a propo-
sitiou to destroy the Union and to destroy
the Constitution. speak Of the legal eE-
feet of the provision.
Mr.. PendIeton. Will my colleague al
low me single question:
Mr.. Bingham. Yes, sir.
Mr.. Pendleton. Will you go on and
state to the House for what purpose It was
that this division of the Union was to be
made into sections-Whether for.the pur.l
pose Of dismembering the Union, or for
the purpose, in certain contingencies, on
the demand OF q certain number of Sena-
tors and Representatives, to require con-
current votes of the Representatives and
Senators from those sections2 "
Mr.. PendletOn frequently rose to inter-
pose in favor of Vallandigham's PROPOSE
tion, and no one can read the debate with
out coming to the conclusion that he hear
tily sympathizcd with it's mover. Cox and
Yeatmsn, the latter explicitly, disclaimed
any such feeling; but Mr.. Pendleton stuck
to it to the last, and there is reason to be-
lieVe that he was as much interested in its
adoption as VallRndigham himself.
