not justice was done in these cases ; but
of one thing we are quite certain, justice
has never been done in the case of Mr. Lin-
coln, Ten years prior to his election he
was a Rcvolutionist, in the strongest sense
of the word, endeavoring, by voice and ex-
ample, to stir up strife between two por-
tions of this Republic, and to get up par-
ties founded on geographical distinctions,
thus utterly disrespecting the warning of
the great man who perhaps did more to es-
tablish this Government than any other—
George Washingion. The nomination of
Mr. Lincoln was revolutionary, his election
was revolutionary and his administration
has been revolutionary to a degree scarcely
less than that of Jeff. Davis himself. The
only difference has been that Mr. Davis
openly defied the Constitution, while Mr,
Lincoln swore solemnly, before Almigty
God. to protect and defend it, and with the
purpose in his heart, as pledged to the abe-
Litionista who elevated him to power, of vi-
olating 1t8 wost solemn compacts, and of
waging & war of cxterwination against a
portion of the'people who claimed 1ts pro-
tection. “A house divided against itself
cannot stand,” was a favorite passage with
Mr. Lincoln, yet he went deliberately to
work to divide our house against itself, and
when divided, became the chief of onc of the
opposing fictions.
He would like to have the American peo-
ple believe that he found the country in such
a condition that a necessity ex'sted to lay
aside the Constitation, and that he was Lut
the creature of circumstances. If such a
dire necessity ever did exist—which we ut-
terly deny --why not say at once that the
- | great temple in which we have worshiped
- | liberty, 1s fallen ? Why not say that the
bonds of Unicn are forever severed, and that
the mighty structure which has dazzled the
world, is demolished? Daniel Webster,
