Why We Fought.

In 1910 James G. Birney, the candi-
date for President of the United States
Of the then called Liberty party, polled
in Pennsy sylvania 343 votes and in twelve
States in which he was voted for 1859
votes. In 1914 Mr.. Barney polled in
Pennsylvania 213S votes and in thir-
teen States 62. 800 votes In 1S4S Mar
tin Van Buren, ran as the Free Soil can
didate and polled in Pennsylvania Ii, 2G3
votes and in eighteen States 29l. .2G3
votes. In 1853 John r. Hale, running
as Free Soil candidate, polled in Penn
sylvania S.525 votes and in twenty
States l5G. l49 votes. In 1856 John {.
Fremont, as the Republican candidate,
pollcd Pennsylvania AZ, $40 votes, and
Milard Fillmore, as the Native Amcr-
can candidate, polled S2,l75, a total Of
229. .GS5 votes, as against Mr.. Buchana's
votes, as against Mr.. Buchanans vote
OF 230.7l0; but in the whole United
States Mr.. Buchanan vote was ,S3S,-
l69. whilst Fremont's and Fillmore's
combined vote was 2,2l5,79S. majorI-
ty against the Democratic party of 377,
G29 on the aggregate vote. This Won
derful growth of the sentiment OF free
labor and free soil in sixteen years
from 1059 votes in 1910 to over 1000,
900 votes in IS59-ilustrate the earn
estness and the heart the original free
soilers had in the question. 1t was not
battle-cry for office; it was a creed,
a belief, a sentiment, duty they belicv-
ed they owed to themselves, their fel
low-man and to their God. They neith-
er wavered nor faltercd; they earned
their money by their individual labOrs,
tand they spent it to better the condition
of the oppressed and the helpless. They
asked no reward other than the triumph
of the right Prisons and ostracism had
neither terrors nor for fears for them.
They believed in the doctrine Of faith by
good works, and they conqucred.-Phi
adelphia Record.
Yes, they worked, raved, ranted, lied,
stole, enticed away. corrupted. calum-
mated, and made use Of every imple-
ment of hell,-to carry their point. They
had no love for the Negro. Personally
they showed him no favor. But when
they could use him as a means to rob
and irritate the South, they hugged him
to their bosoms. And by dint of forty
years of bowling over their hobby. they
created crusade for Abolitionism.
So tar,-as to motives.
Now as to facts. Ten thousand Yankee
writers, historians, and speakers, have
declared in all the soemnity Of one who
knowingly utters lie that the south
brought on the war: - that the North
gave no cause for secession :" that the
Shareholders might have remained in
the Union, under the full protection Of
| the Cons titution which formed the
Union, and which guaranteed every
right they could wish.
Yet, these same lying orators and
I historians now admit that the Aboli-
/ tionists We're bent upon robbing the
South of her institutional Rights, and
/ that tie Abolition Party had grown
within twenty wears from two hundred
votes To two million votes
/ The South had no recourse except to
stand and be robbed or fight.
