from Ohio, made speech in the Senate,
December 4, 1856, in which he coined the

dissolution OF the Union, as an element oil

they do not feel interested in upholding the
Union-if it really trenches on their rights

LINCOLN ON THE RIGHT OF SECESSION.
On the 18th day Of January, 1913, dur
ing the Mexican war, and while opposing
it, on question of reference to the Presi
dents Message (see Appendix CongreSSi0n
al Globe, lst session, 3Oth Congress, page
94), Mr.. Lincoln said:
ANY people anywhere, being inclined,
and having the power, have the right to
rise up and shake off the existing Govern
ment, and form new one that suits them
better, This is most valuable, most
sacred right-a right which we hope and he
lievc is to oblierate the world Nor is the
right confined to cases in which the whole
people of an existing Cover may
choose to exercise it. ANY potion of such
people, that can, may revolutiOni2e and
make their own Of SO much Of the territory
as they inhabit More than this, a maiOri-
ty of any portion Of such people may revo-
lutionize, puttind down Il minority, inter
minglng with, or near about them, who
may oppose then movements Such mi
nority was precisely the case of the Tories
of our own Revolution. 1t is quality of
revolutions not to go by old lines or old
laws, but to break up both and hi Ike new
ones
ONLY POLITICIANS AND DoTARDs GABBLE

"UNNATURAL COMPACT or THE UNION.
On the 9th of March, 1861, after Lin

three days, Fort Sumter being then invest

of the Treasury his organ, the Ohio State
Journal, had the following as part of its
leading editorial, everybody believing Mr.
Chase to be its author:

of the masses for the Union is more or less
fictitious The Union has been apotheotiz-
