port any honest effort to maintain the
Union and reinvigorate the ties which bind
these States together"
Compare what Mr.. Lincoln said when he
was in Congress, January IL, l84s:
"Any people anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have the right to rise
up and shake off the existing Government
and form = new one that suits them better"
Mr.. Pendleton said, Oct. 10, 1862, that
"He was determined to support the con
stituted authority of the country in all
measures necessary to maintain the Govern
ment and enforce obedience to the Consti-
tuition" -''Si.
Mr.. Lincoln everywhere spoke and voted
against the men and money necessary to
carry on the Mexican war, and said:
"To volunteer or to vote dollar to carry
on the war is moral treason against the
God of reason and the rights of mankind.
1t would be sad and woful joy to hear
that the hordes under Scott aud Taylor

Mr.. Lincoln has declared in his "To
whom it may concern letter that the war
shall not stop, that he will not even listen

day without hearing the proof that they all
prefer abolition to Union; prefer abolition
and . long war even to peace.
Said Mr. Pendleton in the same speech to
his own constituents:
"But while the armies are fighting the
battles of the Union they ought to be aided
BY correspondent civil Administration
by policy which will divide the South and
unite the North-wbieh would encourage
the growth Of Union loving sentiment at
the South, allay oil their apprehensions OF
injustice and wrong at the hands Of those
who administer the Government, and res
tore, II possible, their love for the Constr

conquered provinces"
Compare, too, the ccnfscation, extermi-

tie promises of the Crittendon resolutions,
have since legislated into operation, divid-
Ing the North and uniting the South.
Mr.. Pendleton, in this same speech, maxi
