the call for the Lincoln Convention held at

convicted of stealing and treason.
A majority of the Presidents near rela

tiaI friend OF the President, an officer of the

Some sixteen wears ago an awkward
member of Congress, possessing limited
know ledge, from one of the western States,
rose in his place and made speech 10 the
House, in which he maintained that any
portion of the people OF these States, feel-
ing aggrieved, had rite 10 seceds from me
Onion. and establish a new Government
for themselves. Who was that member
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. Here ID an
extract from the speech to which we
refer:
"Any people auywh ere, being inclined,
and having the power, have The right to
rise up and shake off the existing govern
ment, and form now one that salts them
better. This is most valusble-a most
sacred fight-a right which we hope and
believe, is TO liberate the world. Nor is
this right confined to cases in which the
whole people OF our existing Government
may choUse 10 exercise it. Any portion OF
such people that can may revolutlonize and
make their own OF SO much of the territory
as they inhabit More than this, majority
OF any potion of such people may TeVolu-
tionize, putting down a minority, intermingl-
ed with or near about them who may op
pose their movements. Such minority
was precisely the case of The Tories in our
own revolutions not TO go by old lines or
old laws but 10 break up both and make
new ones" Speech of ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

nounces "a mud turtle"
A few weeks ago the Democratic mem
bers OF Congress submitted a Bill requiring
the Government 10 adhere TO lis contract
with our soldiers and pay them their wages
in gold or lis equivalent. Who opposed
and defeated that Bill The Abolition
members OF Congress, led by the notorious
Stevens of this State. They considered
green-backs, at so per cent. discount, good
enough for soldier heroes. The gold is all
TO bs gobbled up by the offioe-holders
and pets of the administration.
Who said that he could not, without vio-
lating his oath, issue an Emancipation
Proclamation President Lincoln.
Who did, subsequently,, issue an emanci- :
patton Proclamation, and thus violate his
oath President Lincoln.
Who were the men who predicted that
the war would eud inside of ninety days
from the date of its commencement The
