obligations OF the Constitution in reference

vile rebellion, in its contempt for the SOW
ereigniy of State. That ferocious faction,
having succeeded in rallying around itself
the present elements of Black Republican
ism, bTealhed inio the whole all lis own
law less and incendiary passions. The pres
ent Administration, the creation and pup
pet OF that consequently ferocious and liz
centious party, has become, from the very
conditions of It's existence, dangerously
revolutionary.

very traitor, al the head OF revolution-
ary iunla.
Mr.. Lincoln's acts OF lawlessness have
opened with the people heavy account.
Berea we'd affection, impoverished toll, shat
tered fortune, owe him, throughout the
length and breadth OF the land. many, an
individual grGdge. Tne health Ahal has
been broken by his arbitrary pFisonmeuts
can be hardly zupposed-io bs, Ia ali cases,
stripped of that power o. passion which
nurses its revenge. Ten thousands OF Ia
thers whose sons have been torn from their
bosoms to redden Virginian soil with their
hearts young blood, may be reasonably
feared TO include among Them some who
pant to settle with he desoiler OF their
souls, in the stern account OF red right
hand The fears of Ihe tyranl cross his
path with speclers of des poiled hopes and
murdered men.
Law, however, haunts Mr. Lincoln with
doubtless more terror han even violence
The Conrs and the Congress, purified OF
his minione and relieved from his iniimi-
daions, will, IN the event OF his defeat,
bring him and the members of his Cabinet
TO utter ruin. Mr.. Cameron; Mr. Stanton,
Mr. Seward will ia that event, be made to
pay dearly for the ringing Of certain bell
thai has consigned hundreds OF better men
to unlawful imprisonment. The President
and his Cabinet may therefore be held 10
enter on the contest for the succession,
goaded on by their apprehension OF stern
reckoning at the hands of a triumphant
Democracy TO all the desperation of men
! fighting with ropes aboni their necks
The arrest of the Legislature Of Mary
land, 10 1861, was an act of high handed
usurpaiion. The dissolution of a political
meeting in Kentucky, in 1863, by military
order, was an act of dangerous despolism.
The enforcement: of test oaIhs al elections,
the attachment of penalties to the free ex-
ercise of suffrage, and the restriction of il
10 such objects of choice as may happen
to tall within the approval OF the Admins
iration, are all outrages which, directed
against the very foundation of Republican
Government, demonstrate that the people
of these States have been caugh: in the very
vortex OF most alarming revolution.
Revolutions, be it recolected, never 60
back. Mr.. Lincoln will hardly dare relin-
quish his hold upon the Government The
personal necessities of his position prevent
him from hesitatiBg to employ il the re-
newal Of bis power whatever be may deem
! expedient OF the very violence ne has dared
to exercise in its enjoyment.

Democratic ueason," 'inlrenchment OF
