LINCOLN AND SLAVERY.

PAOo"oAy III Ai6G'0r SO llUClo un'
derstood by the present average newspape,
readeras the position occupied by Mr.. Lin.
coin upon the question OF slavery. In answer
to questions addressed to the St. Paul
Globe by correspondent as to whether
Mr.. Lincoln ever gave the seeding States
q chance to return into the Union with
their slaves. and if he was not nominated
upon q platform which recognized the
right OF slavery in the States south of Ma.
son and Dixon's line, that journal answers
both questions in the affirmative and adds:
"The platform upon which Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated in 1860 simply denied the
right OF Congress to give legal existence to
slavery in the Territories, and Mr.. Lin.
coins " views on slavery may be best
determined by quoting from his spesch in
the memorable debate with Douglass in
1853, in which he said: 4 do not now. nor
ever did, stand in favor of the uncondi.
tional repeal Of the fugitive slave law. I
do not now, nor ever did, stand pledged
against the admission of any more slave
States in the Union. I do not stand
pledged against the admission OF any new
State into the Union with such a constitu.
ton az the people Of that State may see fit
to make. do not stand to day pledged
to the abolition OF slavery in the District
OF Columbia. I do not stand pledged to
the prohibition of the slave trade between
the different States. I am implicitly, if not
expressly. pledged to q belief in the right
and duty OF Congress to prohibit slavery
in all the United States Te~rritoriee.'
SO that, fairly stated, the position that
Mr.. Lincoln occupied, and the position
that the Republican party occupied when
Lincoln wal elected to the presidency,
a in opposition to the extension OF
slavery into the territories, but non-inter-
erence with it in the States where it al.
'eady existed. II the seeding States had
their allegiance to theReneral gov.
at any time before the emaucipa-
ion proclamation was issued, there would
ave been no attempt made by Mr.. Lincoln
. deprive them Of their slaves. An order
by Gen. Hunter in May, 1862, de-
Iaring the slaves in Georgia, Florida and
outh Carolina forever free, was repudi.
ted n rescinded by President Lincoln.
. late as August, 1862, in reply to an
pen letter addressed to him by Horace
Mr.. Lincoln wrote: my oara-
iounto object 10 to save the Union and not
ther to save or destroy slavery. If I
ould ave the Union without freeing anv !
would do it; il I could ave it by
eeing all the slaves I would do it; if I
'uld do it by freeing some and leaving 9
thers alone ! would also do that" Az .
to as December, 1852, Mr.. Lincoln sent
essage to Congress recommending a I
for gradual emancipation, and for
'mPeusating the slave owners. But after t
'ving issued his lannon's emancipation
Mr.. Lincoln turned a deafI
