The strong practical sense aud genuine philan
throphy Of Mr. LIxooLS will DO. be denied by
the party Of which be was the representative in
the last two Presidential elections. Ia the eele
brstei Senatorial contest between Messrs. Dore-
Las and LISeoLs, In Illinois, the latter put upon
record bis eovictions in regard to the policy Of
extending 10 the black man the rights Of citizen
ship In one Of those debates. he remarked
"Judge Douglas has said TO you that he has

question whether am in favor Of negro citizen

ho~ever. opposed to giving the freed negroes the
unrestricted rights Of citizenship. The proof OF
this, aside from his individual declaratons. will
be found in bis official action 10 regard TO Louis

own party is further evidence that Mr.. LINCOLN
adhered. generally. 20 the opinions he expressed
in 1855. WENDELL PHILLIPS. in a late speech,
said:
"This spring Mr. Sumner said to Mr.. Lincoln,
Louisiana must be reconstructed on the basis Of
the Declaration OF Independence. Mr.. Lincoln
hesitated, and did not reply, when Mr.. Sumner
said. Sir. II you construct it on any other basis.
count me as an opponent.
Notwithstanding the public expressions and
official action of Mr.. LINCOLN, to which We have
referred. Mr.. SUMNER, in his late eulogy deiv
cred in Boston, had the impudence to represent
him as being in favor OF the unqualified extern
sion OF suffrage 10 the blacks, and by implication
represented him as having been in favor Of al the
time OF bis Senatorial contest with Judge DoUG
Las. The extracts show how much reliance may be
placed on the statements Of the polished aud
eloquent SUMNER" where he has point 20 make.
The one last quoted will show what a support
and comfort he Was 10 the late President during
his administration, and relief withal, in the
midst of his perplexing duties. The radical
wing of his party would not give his sdministra-
tion their support unless be surrendered his own
convictions to their fanstical ideas.

EprroR SESriSTL To the Published speech
Of that honest sbolitonist, Gerrit Smith, appears
the sdmssoa that Patrick Henry, Thomas JEFF
ferson and James Madison advocated the doc
trine. that the Constitution allowed The right Of
a State 70 secede. Now i would ask did these
three great men-alnost The trainers OF our
form Of Government-Understsnd that which
they made ihemrelvesI l. it not reasonable 10
suppose that they knew more about Its meaning
and What was intended than The stump orators

ots even. ia preference 20 the teachings OF Web
ster, great a. be wasf The New York Times.
Republican authority. admits that the Govern
men could not have been formed had the right OF
State to secede been denied, or made a part OF
the Constitution at the time OF its formation
Do not these admissions Of the leading men OF
the Republican party, say in 50 many words:
This Government has been formed on the doc
trine Of State sovereignty, bu, now we OF the
North have got to be the majority, sufficiently
large TO deny the doctrine. even to maintaining il
by force, TO have set aside our early teachings.
by the men that made the Government And
now that Of the North have succeeded we
will admit all the Southern statesmen, and many
of the Northern, 50 far as argument is concerned,
ever claimed on that subject"
| am compelled 70 come 10 this conclusion
from the speeches Of leading Abolitonists and the
writings of the leading Administration editors
through the country. fear if these same speech
makers and editors keep on in their present
teachings. they will convince the returned sol
ders that they were fighting for the wrong side,
and will feel like going back into the army to
place things where they were. Before this
state OF affairs should come to pass, would il not
be well to have this class of teachers arrested for
"spouting treasonf" That greater evils may not
come. the powers that be should shut them up.
