made a speech at Hamilton, on the occa-
sion of his nomination, which for malig-
nancy and blaekguardism has not been

1t is well enough for Major General

HIAtOrhcmI Faeas

When you hear Abolidonists charging the
Rebellion upon Democrats, confront them
With the following truths from History
i. That there was no symptoms Of Rebell-
ion in the South until after the election Of
Abraham Lincoln, who had proclaimed that
this Government could not exist part free
and part slsve-and that he would not be
bound BY decision of the Supreme Court, if
It decided that slaves could be held in the Ter.
ritories
2. That President Buchanan, during the
last months Of bis Administration was govern.
ed jy the advice of Mr. Seward, known to be
Lineoln's Secretary, on all matters touching
the rebellion a.rcf
3. That all difficulties would have been
settled BY the peace Convention, and war pre-.
vented, II Lincoln, Chase, Chandler, ct al /,
had desired it, 'as,
4 That IL BAcoln had called Congress
to meet on the pom OF May--as be could have
done--and called rs 900 men simply TO pro.
tect Washington until Congress bad acted
here would have been no war The Border
States would not have gone out-and the me
who fred on Sumter, would have been punish.
ed by Law
8. That at any time since the war com
menced, Lincoln's Congress could have made
Peace by simply guaranteeing to the States
their Constitutional Rghts-and can do So,
even now.
G. That from 1888 to 1860, the Southern
States had respected and executed every law
Of Congrf ss-while large numbers of citizens
in every Northern State, had repeatedly rabell.
cdr sisiei the Broad Seal Of the United
States Of America, tore II up, trampled il un.
der their feet, and assaulted the officers Of the
Government IL ..tI j 81 AaI.tH
That in no Southern State-excspt
South Carolina-was there majority Of ali
the voters who voted for President in 1860, in
favor of Secession aud had the war been
prosecuted solely to enforce the Laws and
defend the Constitutioa--and put down arm,
ed rebels, it would have ended two years ago
and there would not not have been now an
armed rebel in any Stats ...
g. That the election of Abraham Lincoln
was the immediate cause of this war and ell
its disasters--and his removal-throuRh the
ballot-bozes-will bring Immediate Peace
and restore the Union
