satisfied with what he was saying, that ; he
closed by declaring that ho 'was loth to atop;'
but his true intent, or instinct, was, evident
ly, to present the ideas promulgated at Chi

Gems of the Inaugural.
'lho Inaugural A& Uric°ln
contains so many gems of thought, express•
ion and logic, that they deserve a pn;isiog
ME
Gem the first
•• Apprehension sc((nn to exist among the
people of the Southern States, that by the
accession of a Republican Administration,
their mperty, and their peace and purso» al
security are to be endangered. There has
never been any reasonable cause
.for such
appiebension."
This is a slight improvement upon the
4efilaratlon gilt there was " nothing the
matter"—•• nothing going wrong," It is
aciertained that apprehension seems to ex•
irtt- , .that it is barely possible the people of
the Spathe'!' States entertain fears that their
rights will be endangered under a Republi
can Administration. But " there has never
been any reasonable cause for such appre
henaion." The, persistent abuse of the
South (luring a series of years; the enact
ment of unconstitutional laws to prevent
the return of fugitive slaves even the an
nouncement of Mr. Lincoln himself that the
Union cannot endure half slave and half free,
as it Iry creaied, constitute no seuneneb/c
ground for apprelioneion. The Southern
States aro very unreasonable in taking Mr.
Lincoln'and his associates at their word, and
lieLering they meant wtki4they said.
(ion the second :
•l I therefore consider that, in view of the
Constitution and laws, the Union is unbrok
en, and, to the extent of my ability, I shall
take care, as the Constitution expressly en
joins on me, that the Isles of the Union be
faithfully executed in all the Stater'."
Here we aro informed that the fact of ow
cession Is to be ignored, and that the lout
of the ore to be enforced in all the
States. Now. her Ite purpose of expound
ing anti executing itt. laws in the Mtates, the
Government has iistituted courts, appoint
ed jtolgerr,-erifrrsharls,•-fec-,--- - eite
lAIt, in the next paragraph. we are informed
that
•• Where hostility in any interior locality
shall be so great and so universal as to pre 1
vent competent resident citizens hum hold
ing federal offices. there will be no nfiemp.
to force obnoxious stgtngers n ntopg :he peo.
pie for that object 'Whole the legal right
may exist in the tiovertiment to enforce the
xerci , oe of them. offices, the attempt. to In
so would be so Irl tinting and .4o man ly un
feasible withal, that I deem it ' , viler to fore
go 1.,r a illlll . , the 11,14 of such offices."
The Legislature of s number of Northern
States under Republican i • oritrol hue,: eirirt•
ed laws tl,-nwrd to •itlibly the constitutional
provtaions ',mum% the i endit low of fugitives
from labor, The right to the service of these
fugitives is plainly a ritten iii the Constitu
tion, and confessedly so tot this Inaugural
' Address - and vet tt has been denied, or
i atteirpted to he denied The Republican
party in many of the Northern States love
" reached to the audacity of doing t h is " -
Mr, Lincoln's memory is as sielkblat as his
logic.
Gem the fifth
From questions of this class spring alt
our constitutional controversies, and we di
vide upon them iiito majorities and minori
ties. If the minority will not acquiesce, the
majority must, or the government must
cease." •
The questions referred to are, whether the
Constitution empowers Congress to cadmic
slavery from the Territories--must Congress
protect slavery in the Territories I (l.c. We
dividle upon these questions into majorities,
anti minorities, and one or the ether must
acquiesce, or the gosernmeni must cease.— I I
No i euch thing The correct. interpietation 1
of the Constitution 18 not to bo settled by
the will of the majority. These aro judicial '
questions for the courts to determine. If
the popular will is to decide the meaning of ;
the Constitution, then it follows that as soon
as the majority determine that the provision
for the return of fugitives from labor_lioes
not apply to runaway negroes, this settles
e controversy, and the majority mug
quiesce. The principle is lawless al
olutionary. sy o have a Constitutit
courts competent to int its true mean•
ing, and majorities ca erturn it fr,
invade the established, to of minteties.
111 66
Minorities have stored rights Which the
Constitution guards, and majorities cannot
assail them. If this is not true, we have
no settled principles of government, and no
man's rights are inviolable
Gem' the sixth
One section of our oountry believes that
slavery is right, and-ought to bo extended ;
While the °alyr believes that it is wrong,
and ought not to be extended. This is the
only substantial dispute."
The quest ion of the right - or wrong of eta-
very iA my rightfully involved io the oontro
verey as to ita extension. ft is purely ati
simply a (location as to the constitutional
rights of the Sonth. 'the morality of elay.
cry ham 4iothing to do with it. 4_men may
be morally opposed to the extension otelaf
ery, and nt the some time convinced that
the Constitution permits Sduthern Men to
take their property into the Territories, and
he willing to defend and protect them in,this
right.
Gem the seventh —the genuine article.
" Suppose you go to war, you cannot
fight always, And when, after Much loss on
both Sides, and no gain on either, you cease
fighting, the identical old questions u tee
terms of intercourse areragain upon you."
This, is the first glimMii of sound sense
to illuminate the pervading darkness. Go
to war, and you cod just Vier° you began
—then why go to veil‘r it I Why com
mence a civil war, vi hen there is confeisedly
nothing to be gained by it
Gem the eighth is intended to be consola
tory :
" By the frame 'ol the Government under
which we live, this same people have wisely
given their public servants but Bab' power
for miachief, and have with equel wisdom
proyidepl for the naurs of that little to their
own hands at very short intervals."
It would afford real consolation if Mr.
Line+ hadiAttlo power for_mischiol, -but
unhappily he unilorratil the consequences
likely to follow hin own feebleness.
