souething very different from the success OF person.
n ambition; il is for the Union, it is for America
q question of life and death.
Mr.. ABRAHAM LINCOLN represents policy OF the
most perspicuous kind, which may be summed
No ia Two conference.-the saaintesaRoc Of tic Union
E< Abolition of SlaDery. Everything else is only
ACCESSORY, and may be easily modified according 10
circumstances. Gen. MCCLELLAN protests his de-
votion 10 tie Union and his dosire to reestabhsh
peace and concord but these general expressions
which hide the true idea of the party. AT the
bottom the policy of Gen. MCCLELLAN Is not less
decided than that of bis rival. To those who know
how to read its motto his banner bears thc inscrp-
ton, The resaabl,skment IF tie Union al 1t 'ons,
Slavery remeiaing an internal question: that
u TO say Slavery remaining. To cease sangni-
nary struggle and to bring back peace, by botching
CD at any price the old edifce Of the Unon--these
ore the promises Of the General; they are not
brilliant; one must coun, on the miseries Of pro-
icnsed war; on the suferDgs of commerce, on
DE iassitude Of minds, TO propose such deplorable
conditions to the American people They would
rot have been proposed to them two years ago. But
Shese same promises however modest they may be,
the General, become Presdsnt, could not fulfill.
The force Of events would be more powerful than
fhc dream Of candidate. Without beings prophet,
sne can affirm that Gen. MCCLELLAN would not
Swsy the torrent that he wishes 10 let loose. The
success Of the General Is the maintenance of Slavery
and the maintenance Of Slavery il the abdication
Of the North and the triumph of the South Therein
h The danger that threatens the American Onion.
Iisths ds,y Of every friend Of America and liberty
70 point ii out.
Why did Tie Sou,h secedci WASH, for question
Sf TARIFF, . difference Of race or belief No, ell
these fine pretexts have been invented to dazzle !
Europe, and those who have invented them have
been the first to laugh at our creduAty.
For thirty years and more the South ruled the
Onion The policy of the South va, the ,olicy Of
she United States; there we're y, esdeuts except
Nose who had the support ror the South. How did
he South succeed in 'xercising this pgeponderatng
snassnee Inc answer is easy. The South was
saced oy Of the parties that existedin The North
ACC pied its men, on condition that these men
<ould become the auxiliares and aceomphces Of its
passions and interests. Never bargain more
faithfully kept. This parry, always ready to sorvc
scctiona! policy, was that which entitled itself
Dsmoyatie, in opposition to the Republican party
.-was that which to-day puts forward Gen. Nc
C1nEAy. What 10 wishes, it is not difficult to d.
vine its past answers for its future.
Why did the South seek TO rule the Unionf Fer
estngie reason, TO maintain Slavery. 1t needed Pc
Eticsl domination In order to insure it's internal
Aespotisn. II needed to reign at Washington, in
order to hinder ray Of light from penetrating the
cabin Of the negro. Every year the Union grew,
every year some new Free State came TO add spot
iess star 10 the Federal flag; the South, With its
Slaves, could only follow with . hating step tho
triumphant progress of liberty. Yet, notwishs.and-
ing it was necessary for il al airy price 10 maintain
the political equality Slavery. Free State more,
end the balance tlrned-the accession Of Liberty
w. the downfall Of the South: "a
Such ives the policy which the South followed
With q tsaacity worthy Of better cause. In En-
rope It is the fashion in good society, to admire
che gentlemen OF tie South, 10 have inditcsent es
teen for the people Of the North. Europe Is fan 81
unknown msrquises that disdain hands smirchod
snd hardened by toll. There is sonething rolis IN

tlemen are there than the Southern planters

societyf The reverse ofthe medal Il does not wish
70 see. 1t is right for there is nothing in the world
moro slightly and depiorsble; ths exploitation Of
labor BY idleness, OF weakness BY stiength Of des
ttution by riches. The Gospel ie rent asunder
humanity is trodden under foot but what matters
humanity and the Gospel In the face Of men sol
