LINCOLN AND SLAVERY,


A Mortified correspondent asks the
GLOBE to state whether or not Mr.. LIN
COLIN ever gave the seeding states chance
to return into the Union with their slaves,
and If he was not nominated and elected
upon platform which recognized the right
| OF slavery in the states south of MASON
and DIXON'S line. Both questions can be
answered affirmatively. The platform
upon which Mr.. LINCOLN was nominated
in 1860 simply denied the right of con-
gress to give legal existence to
| slavery in the territories and Mr..
LINcoLN'S own views on slavery may be
best determined by quoting from his speech
In the memorable debate with DOUGLASS
in 1858. in which he said: Il 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. l do not stand pledged
against the admission of any new state into
the Union with such constitution as the
people of that state may see fit to make.
do not stand to-day pledged to the abolition
l.
do not stand pledged to the prohibition of
the slave trade between the different
states. L am implicitly, if not expressly.
pledged to belief in the right and duty of
congress to prohibit slavery in all the
United States territories" So that, fairly
stated, the position that Mr.. LINCOLN &C.
cupied, and the position that the Republican
raap fx rHo,, I
elected to the presidency, was in opposi-
ton to the extension of slavery into the
territories, but non-interference with it in
the states where it already existed. If the
seeding states had resumed their allie
glance to the general government at any
time before the emancipation proclamation
was issued, there would have been no at
tempt made by Mr.. LINCOLN to deprive
them of their slaves. An order issued by Gen.
HUNTER in May, 1862, declaring the slaves
in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina for
ever free, was repudiated and reScinded by
President LINCOLN. AS late as August,
1862, in reply to an open letter addressed
to him by HORACE GREELEY, Mr., LIN
COLIN wrote: My paramount object is to
save the Union, and not either to save or
destroy slavery. III could save the Union
without freeing any slave [ would do it; if
L could save it by freeing all the slaves
would do it; if L could do it by freeing some
and leaving others alone l would also do
that" AS late as December, 1862, Mr..
LINCOLN sent message to congress recon-
mendIng a scheme for gradual emancipa-
ton and for cOmpensating the slave owners.
But after having issued his famous eman-
cipatlon proclamation, Mr.. LINCOLN turned
deaf ear to all entreaties to recall or mod
fly it. He was man who having once put
his hand to the plOw never turned back.

The Rings Own Him,

Freeborn County Standard
McGill is politician, and very weak and
little politician. He has had to be supported
in Office at the state capital for seventeen
years. and now the wheat ring, the insurance
ring and all the great monopolies, knowing
how easy it is for them to use him, want to
put him in the governors chair, that high
and honorable position, so they can rule the
state, without being held responsible for the
evils they may sec4etly commit. But the
people understand the situation: they have
learned the tricks of the ringsters; they
know how weak and willing little McGill is,
and they will vote him out of office; they will
give him rest; they will rise up, rise up,
rise up, all over this state and with their bal
lots, turn the rascals out, yes, turn McGilI
and the rascals out.

AN INFLUENTIAL CONGRESSMAN

AN INFLUENTIAL CONGRESSMAN
Congressional elections will be held in
thirtv-five states to-day and in all the ter
ritories. 1t is claimed by the Democrats
and generally conceded by the Republicans
that the Democrats Will retain control Of
the house of representatives. The Repub-
licans hope to reduce the Democratic ma
iority in the house. while the Democrats
expect to increase it. But that the body
will be Democratic there is hardly shadow
of a doubt. In view of this fact, what in
terest have the people of the Fourth district
in sending a Republican to congress, to be
in the minority and virtually nOnentity.
The two great cities of St. Paul and Mime
apolis nave business interests involved in
national legislation of higher consideration
than mere party questions. 1t is to the in
terest Of these two cities to have a repre-
sentative in congress who will not only
have the ability to represent the great in
terests of these twin cities, but who will be
in position to exert all influence. 1t has
already been demonstrated to the sorrow of
the two cities that Mr.. GILFILLAN can
have no influence in congress. More than
that, it has been demonstrated that
he does not deserve to have infiu-
ence in any legislative body. When a
man goes into congress with his hands
soiled with jobbery and fraudulent dealings
with the government his opinions are not
entitled to respect. There are no charges
of that character against EDMUND RICE.
His hands are Spotless. His present posi-
ton as mayor of the Democratic city of ST.
Paul would give him prestige in the Dem
ocratic house Of representatives. His
native dignity of character and generous
qualities would win for him the respect of
his congressional colleagues. The fact that
he would go to congress as a Democrat
from the Republican state of Minnesota
would give him prominence and influence
in the house that Republican could not
attain. There would be nothing in the
way of legislation that his constituents
would want that would not be granted.
These are facts the truth of which is
realized by every voter in the Twin Cities.
If then the voters of st. Paul and Min
neapolis have the interests Of their respect
i've cities at heart they will vote for Ed
MUND RICE for congress. We submit it to
your honest Judgment if the welfare of the
district will not be better promoted by the
election of RICE than by the election of
GILFILLAN. Vote for RICE.

We are not a Democrat but unqualiiedly
repudiate the wholesale calumnies that are
being published and spoken against DIR. A.
A. Ames. We have known him intimately
from his boyhOod up to the present, and
know him to be one of the best-hearted men
of the century. No other man feels more
keenly the wrongs done the masses, and no
one will labor more earnestly to correct the
abuses. His habits are far superior to those
of some of the stumpers who assail him. He

Ruling Relative 40 Articles Inn
ported by Naval Officers for Their
Friends.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Judge McCue.
solicitor of the treasury, has given an
opinion to the secretary in regard to the
wines and other articles brought from
abroad by the officers of the United States
steamers Portsmouth and Saratoga. He
divides the articles in question into three
classes as follows:
Certain wines purchased abroad py the
caterer of the mess aud in use for conSump-
ton aboard the vessel by the members of the
mess or their visitors; certain articles, lncluu-
ny wines, gloves, clothing, etc., imported Tor
the use of persons Other than the omcerS
bringing the same; other articles, including
Wines gloves, clothing, ETC., brougnI Tor tue
officers own use. In regard to the nfst CLASS
the solicitor holds that as the goods were
NOT INTENDED TO BE LANDED,
they are not dutiable, if retained on ship
board for use. He says that an importation
is an arrival with intent to unload. In re-
gard to the second-class, viz: The articles
brought by the officers for the use OF othef
persons as gifts or otherwise, the soilcitor
saws they are dutiable, and that there Is no
discretion in the customs officers or IN the
secretary of the treasury to abate any por-
ton of the duties prescribed by law. AS to
the third class. viz: The articles brought by
the officers for their own use, the solicitor
saws their liability to duty depends upon
whether they are wearing apparel III ACTUAL
use and personal effects not merchandise.
If they are, he says, they are free or duty.
The courts have given liberal construction
as regards wearing apparel and personal
effects, and the solicitor says that under re-
cent decisions all the articles bought for the
narsonsl usa of the officers on ship-board or
in their ouarters on shore would be free of
duty. In conclusion, the solicitor says that
he does not think that there are necessarily
any penalties incurred by the naval officers,
that whatever is collected from them should
be by way of duties on such OF the gooos as
the collector NAV decide to be dutiable.

There will be a snowstorm to-day. The

thing for the country that these snowstorms
come around every now and then. They

1t may not be the proper thing to laugh
at anOther's misfortune, but the Democratic
risibilities could not be suppressed last
night at the sickly sight of the sO-called Re-
publican procession. If McGill's prospects
are as blue in other parts of the state as
they are in st. Paul he must be homesick
child by this time. Of all miserable failures
that ever occurred, the attempted Republi-
can demonstration last night was the most
signal failure of them all.
