Abraham Liacsln,s "a his hmeus Illinois
ssamping campaign " 1853 sgainst Senator
Douglas, opened the discussion with this conn
prehsnsive texf--that the conflict between the
North and South on the slavery question must
sooner or later terminate in the complete over
throw Of the onS system or the other--that all
the States must eventually become free States
or slave States, Tor thai q house divided !
against itself cannot stand" In word, his |
idea was thar the weaker system must be put |
down by andbs absorbed in the stronger, ii |
view Of that (arnony among the States which
is indispensable TO- the maintenance Of that |
paGsmoant OBJECT o. the American peeple--ths !

destruction ofthe great controlling SouIhsn
Institution Of slavery, and BY the sword, to
which the South appealed for its preservation;
but the absorption Of the defeated political
system, with its peculiar dogmas, institutions,
distinctions, castles and prejudices growing |
out d slavery, il evidently out of the question
during the existing Southern generation.
With this fixed fact before us we propose TO
meet The inquiry, what il the best course for |
Congress for the restoration Of the unchanged |
rebellious States! We say unchanged in re-
ference TO the dogmss and ideas which carried |
them into their rebellion. In this view they
stand a. they stood when Beauregard opened !
his 5ombsrdment Of Fort Spmtey. Had the
demands of the war, which were those Of
sweeping revolution, been fully exsctsd xhen
those States laid down their arms, new order
Of things might have hsen readily established

| States back to their status of 1860, President
johnson, as Is now abundantly manifest, made
grave mistake. The ruling Southern politicians
at once, upon this theory, began 10 pirate and
preach about their Constitutional State rights, as
in 1860, and then in NOT one solitary case have
those insurgent States met even the easy terms
Of restoration proposed by the President. From
Virginia TO Texas there is not State which
can be recognized AZ having complied with
those terms. They were all reorgsnixed in
loose and slipshod fashion, no two OF them
alike, and not one Of them stands to-day in an
honest attitude even towards President John
son. They have not done anything, tbey have
not conceded anything except upon Qompul-
sion; and whore they have complied, Il
has been under The protest that such
exactions are not binding. OF course
all this work amounts to nothing in being set
aside BY Congress; but under This Executive
theory Of 1850. the ruling classes OF the States
concerned have resumed those rebellious no.
