Abraham Lincoln, by its usurpations, its
disregard of the Constitution, its violation
of personal liberty, and State rights its re-
sort TO military power to subrert civil au-
thority, its temporizing and cOwsldly deg
radiation of the Nation In its foreign poll
cy, its perversion of the war from its orig

become revolutionary in its character, and

the rule Of its duty and the limitation of
its power.

the gratitude of the Democracy is ever due;
thew can never forget thatit was he who,
in the midst Of our disasters, and in the
face of an overbearing adversary, was

borne unsulied through every battle.
That it was he who by his wisdom, ar
rested public discord, by his frmness
repel1ed aggression upon State right
and personal liberty, and by the purity
of his public life, and the elevation Of his
purposes, exhibited in the midst of gen.
eral corruption and factiousness, the high
est qualities of a statesman and a triot
