j IBHIM Lim.VS RGCORI'.
! His Abolitionism Proved—HE IS IK"
FAVOR CF NEGRO EQUALITY.
The doe'rine of negro equality lies at the
foundation of all Abolitionism ; for when Uiat
doctrine is fully acknowledged and cani-d out
and the negro is put upon an equality with the
white man, of course slaveiv would be abolish
ed—there would he no slaves—all would be
placed upon an equality. The leason the Re
j publican* insist so strenuous! v upon that doc
trine is because it is sine to drive to abolition
. everywhere ; and no man insist more strenuous
ly upon it Iti.in Mr. Lincoln, lot" in hiis celebra
; ted Chicago speech he uses the following extra
' ordinary language ;
"I should like to know if, taking this old
Declaration of Independence, which declares
'hat all -n*n are equal upon principle, and ma
king EXCEPTIONS to it, WHERE WILL
ITSBOP ] IF ONE MAN SAYS rr DOES
NOi MEAN A NEGRO, why not another
say it does mean some other man ?"—(SeeiLin
coln and Diuglas' Debates, p. 22— Lincoln's
edition.)
Here is a pointed decf ara'ion made [ )V Mr.
Lincoln that HE BELIEVES in the doclrine
of NEGRO t EQUALITY without qualifird
l lion.
And to show his vim in expressing his fim
; belief in the doc line, he adds:
J --H that declaiation is not the trulh, let us
! gel the statute book AND TEA aIT OUT 1 If it is
j oot true, let us TE\R IT OUT! [Cries of
no, no!] L-t us stick to it then ; lef ( ,s s'aod
firmly bv it."—(Debate#, page 23, Lincoln's
edit On.)
A< Galesnurg he affirms the dec.'ara 1 ions in
Useff-'tv v
world from the date ot 'he Decla at ion of Inde
pendence up to within three years ago, mav oe
searched in vain for a single affirma'iou FROM
j ONE SINGLE MAN. [THAT THE NEGRO
WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE DECLA
RATION OF INDEPESDENt E.—(See De
oales, Lincoln's eduicii.fi 178.)
VVmcn simply means that wtien our fathers •.
vv ho were most ot them slaveholders, declared;
THEM-•:LVK. free, thev were declaring the NE- •
GROES FREE ALSO !
Again Mr. Lincoln not only declares that the
Declaration of Independence includes the negro
as created equal, but he adds that they aie cie- .
ated iiee and equal, in (he following codicil
his benediction at Chicago :
"My Iriends, I could not without launching
oil upon some new topic, which would detain
vou too long, con'inue to-night. I thank you
for tins mist ex'ensive audience you have . ir
i uhed me to-night. I leave you, hoping that
the lamp of Itbert v vvill bui n in your bosoms un
til there shall be no longer a doubt 1 hat all men
are created FREE AND EQUAL ' —(See
Lincoln's edition of Debate*, page 2i.)
Thus interpolating the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, in older lo carry oui his Abolition
Joel rines.
Tiiat Mr. Lincoln desires to reduce thi< doc
fnoe to piaclice is proved by turning: to the
Illinois Journal of September Mi, Ibbti, where
in we we find him reported as declaring at a
banquet at Chicago:
I'll at central idea, in our political opinion,
at tiie beginning was, and until recently con
tinued to be, the EQUALITY OF MEN. And al
though it was submitted patiently, lo whatever
inequality there seemed to be as a matter of ne
cessity, its constant working has been a steady
progress towards the PRACTICAL EQUALITY
OF ALL MEN.
"Let past differences as nothing be ; and wilh
steady eye on the real issues, let us inaugurate
ihe good old centi al ideas ol the Republic.—
We can do it. The human heart is with us;
(iod is with us. We shall again be able not to
declare that all the States, as Slate?, are equal,
nor vet that ail her i iiiz- ns as citizens aie e
qual, but renew the broader, better declaration,
including both senses and nun li more, that all
men are cu-ated equal."
When pushed by Judge Douglas as to his
meaning when he declared that "it (slavery)
should be placed wheie the public mind
sh iuld rest in the belief that it was in the
course of ultimate extinction," he dei lares
that
"I did not even say that I desired that sla
very should be put in course of ultimate ex
tinction. IDO SAY SO NOW, however, so
there need be no longer any difficulty about
that. It may be written down iti the great
speech."
Webster savs the word extinction means "lo
putou'," or "iliejuct of nutting out, 4 ' "destruc
tion," or, in other words, "ABOLISH."
At Charleston, JII., Mr. Lincoln says :
"An elderly gentleman called upon me to
know whether I was really in favor of a PLR
FECI equality between the negroea and the
white people."—(Debates, p 136.)
And then he goes on to say hat he is not, noi
ever has been in favor of the perfect social anc
political equality ol the whites and blacks. —
But truly adds :
"I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5,1860.
| woman, or child, who was in favor of produ
nog a PERFECT equality, social and politics
( between negroes and white men." Debates.
page, 136.)
Not even Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillip*,
Gen it Smith. Dr. Cbeever, or even Greeley or
• Giddings, are in iavor of producing a perfect
; equality, "socially and politically,"among the
e whites and blacks." But only a political e
- quality. Not a perfect social equality.
-Mr. Lincoln is a lawyer, and knows verv
well how to befog obnoxious sentiments bv a
. connected verbiage. Why did he not sav that
, he was not in favor ufa political equality otlhe
white* and blacks instead ol coupling it with a
j ''social" equality, and qualifying it with the
word pel feet. A perfect social and jwlitiral
equality dot-s not exist upon earth even among
unite men, lor in the sea!.* ol morals and in<el
. lert one is higher or lower than another, as t lie
case may be.
At Alton, Mr. Lincoln sa iii :
•'I think the authors of that notable instru
ment intended to include all men, out thev did
nut mean to declare all men eqal in nil respects.
(Mr. Lincoln s italics.) 1 hey did not mein to
say ail men are equal in size, color, intellect,
moral development or social capacity. They
defined with tolerable distinctness in what they
did consider all men created equal—equal in
certain in alienable rights, among which is lile,
LI bc,R fY, and the pursuit ol happiness.
In ths speech M . Lincoln gave his tiue sen
timent*, and it will be seen that the political
equality of the negro and white man is cate
i tul y and designedly left out. But his inaiien- i
able r ght to lioerty he never forgets.
In a speech Mr. Lincoln ri.a )e at Peoria,
October 16th, 1854, he explains himself as <oI- j
low* :
"'A hat Ido say is, that no man is good e- |
nough to govern another man, without the oih- I
i*i s ( ().VSE ' I. J say this is the leading prin- •
ciple, the SHEET ANCHOR OF AMERICAN
REPUBLICANISM. Our declaration of Inde
pendence savs :
"We hold these truths to he self-evident
That all men ait* CREATED EQUAL ; that
th v are endowed by their creator vviih certain i
inalienable rights, that among these are life.!
LlLi.it, I\ , and the pursuit of happiness. Tnat j
to Set ure these rights, governments aie i;ij i
tuled among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent ol the governed."
'•I have quoted so much at this time merely
i 1 ishow 'bai, according to onr ancient laith, the
j ist powers ol governments arederived from the
consent of the governed. Now, the reh'ion of
nm.lani- -
ihe slave without his consent, but he governs ;
turn bv a set of mles altogether dilT'eient from j
those which he prescribes for himself. AL- i
LOW ALL the governed an EQUAL VOICE J
tn the Government ; and that, ami that only is I
' selP-oovernment." (Howell's Liie ol Lincoln, j
I P 279.,
| Here the doctrine is clearly 'aught, I bat, in!
order to have self-government, which Mr. Lin
i coin savs he a "thousand times"' favored, we j
: must allow ail tin* governed an equal voice in I
the o-overnment, (black a* well as while.) i ins
is lrulv the political equality of all men, and ,
"Honest Abe" further adds that '"his is the lea- '
ding principle, the sheet anchor of American j
i Republicanism" and there is no use tor (he Re- |
publicans of C~*nlial or Southern Illinois to fur
ther dispute it.
Mr. Lincoln, in ills Springfield speech ol
June 17th, 1858. when tie was nominated for
;be United States Senate, wfiich was ine first!
j i <gg laid, that fie was ever afterwards in the ef- j
to t ofcovenng up or explaining away, in Ins
d 'bate with Judge Douglas, complains that the •
Supreme Court of the United Stales decided a> j
follows in relation tolhat darling pet ol hi-, the '
i negro:
•'That no negro slave imported as such tiom ;
Africa, and no descendant ot such siave, can
ever be a citizen of any Slate in the sense of
that term, as used in the Constitution of the
United States. This point is made," says Lm-
Cviln, "in order to deprive the negro, in every
possible event oI th<* benefit o! that provision ol
the United Slates constitution which declares
that "The citizens of each State shall be enti
tled to at! privileges and immunities of citizens
in the several States."
This decision of the Court is complained ol
by Mr. Lincoln because it has "deprived the ne
gro," who has become a citizen ol Massachu
selts, and is entitled to hoid office, sit in juries,
and vote there, wiwn he emigrates to Illinois or
Kentucky, deprives him of of "all the privi
leges and immunities of citizen" oflll-nois or
Kentucky ; or, in other words, he complains
that the Court has thrown it out of the power
ol the negro slave, o; a descendant at one vvuo
has become a citizen Massachusetts, and by
virtue ot citizenship is politically equal to a
while nan in Illinois or Kentucky, to wit :
the right to hold office, to sit on juries, to mar
ry. to vote at elections, and, indeed, every other
political right that the white man has, and yet
! the Republicans say he is not lor negro
equality. — Patriot and Union.

REAM THIS AFFIDAVIT.
Helow ws publish an affidavit of a person
now a resident of this count)', who was present
on the occasion ol the difficulty between Mr.
Curtin and Mr. I'icard. We will here state
i that this affidavit would never have been given
to the public, had not some of the public jour
nals attempted to cast reflections upon Mr. Pic
ard's credibility. Among these papers is the
! Middleburg Tribune, a paper whose political
vasalage is sufficient to strip it of all claims to
; respect or credibility.
I, the subscriber, am personally acquainted
\ with Col. Andrew G. Curtin, the present can-

i heaici a fuss at the stable belonging to the
t, i ennsyivaiiia Hotel. I thought some persons
t were lighting and went to see. When I came
e 1 there, T saw Mr. Curtin there in a great rage,
- ; with a revolver in his hand and damning and
■ cursing Mr. Picaid. While I waspiesent Mr.
v J Picaril gave him no word which would insult
a him, bul "Curtin shot the dog and declared he
t had another ball left for Mr. Picaid. I did not
know Mr. Picard before then, but I thought at
i the time, | !o m the manner in which Mr. Gur- *
■ 'm behawed, be would shoot him. And to sav
I the least of it,thought Mr. Cu it in was a very !

"Slaveholders are a nuisance,"

sances."
~We propose to exterminate this catalogue
from beginning to end."
"We believe that THIEVES are, as a gen
eral rule, lessamenabte to the moral Jaw than
SLAVEHOLDERS."
"SLAVEHOLDERS ARE MORE CRIMI
NAL THAN COMMON MURDERERS."
"Slaveholders and slave-traders are, as a gen
eral thing, unfit to occupy any honorable sla
lion in life,"
"It is our honest conviction that all the pro
slavery slaveholders, who are alone responsi
ble for 'he continuance of the baneful institu
tion a no rig US deserve to be AT ONCE REDU
CED TO A PARALLEL WJTH THE BA
SEST CRIMINALS THAT LIE FEI'TERED
WITHIN THELELLS OF OUR PUBLIC
PRISONS."
"IYere it possible that the whole number
(i. e. ol the slaveholders,) could be gathered to

AND MURDERERS,society, we feel as

''So it ceems (hat the lota' number of actual

THE JOHN MOWS! PiRTY-MASSACfIU-!
SETTS TRAITORS.
The shameless denials oi the Black Republi- j
can pasty, when charged with fueling a sympa
thy with old John Brown, and with approving j
the atrocious acts he perpetrated in Vi'ginia, i
are striking instances of the audacity to wuicb
desperate men may be driven.
The men who are loudest in their encomi- i
urns on that moral monster, John Biown, are )
made the speakers, the leaders and the candi- :
dates of that pait v, and yet they ptotest that ,
(hey do not approve of John Brown's invasion '
ami murders.
We present a few gems culled from a speech
of John A. Andrews, the Black Repuplican |
candidate for Gjvernorol Massachusetts, a State i
in which the cauldron of Abolitionism and j
treason is always kept boiling. On the 19th
of November, 1809, in the Fremont Temple, i
m Boston, John .A Andrews said :
"1 pause not to consider, because tt is wholly j
outside ol the duty t the lUoilght ol tills dsseui- ■
bly to-night, whether the enterprise ot John j
Brown and Ins associates in Virginia was wise
or loulish, right or wrong. I know only tuat i
whether the enterprise ilselt was the one or j
the other, John Biowu himself was right." j
Again, says Mr. Andrews :
'•There is an irrepressible conflict betweeu j
freedom and slavery, as old and as manorial as j
the llrepressive conflict between tight and j
wrong. They [Brown and his companions] I
are among the martyrs ot that conflict."
Mr. Andrews thus concluded Iris speech :
We are to-night in the presence ot a jgreat j
and an awful sorrow, wtiicii has fallen like a ■
pall upon many families whose hearts lad,
whose atlectious aie lacerated, anil whose i
hopes are ciushed—[no sympathy lor the wives
and children ot the murdered men ol Harper's J
Ferry]—all ol hope lelt on the earth destroyed .
bv an event which, under the Provuieuce ot
Gcd, I pray will be oveiruled toi that good j
which was contemplultd and intended by John
Brown himself " ;
It (he Black Republican party, disapprove j
of ihejolin Brown raid, why do ttiey make :
the peculiar advocates and champions ct it their j
candidates for office, their ctnet orators and
their most trusted leaders? liie answer i

and beneficent policy ot the General Govern

such products of foreign nations as come in such
direct coutact with those of our own country,
as lo injure and prostrate the trade in our own
soil, and among our own citizens.
I fie artizans and laborers in many deparl merit
of trade are compelled to abandon their accus
i tomed pursuits—especially do our own coal and
tron interests suffer ; therefore

to ad the intet ests of the country, injured by
the productions of the cheap labor of other na
tions ; but more especially to mge an increase
ofcuiieson coal and iron, in which a portion
of our own people are deeply interested.
Resolved, That the views of the President,
