THE HEART THAT HAS LOVED.
, Unto the heart that truly loved,
And loved, aim f in Tain,
A joy to tweet a love so pure
- Van cever come Hguiu !
But o'er life'i sky, like a midnight o'ound,
The years shall darkly past;
.'-And loves warm rays ebull shine no more
On tbo ruined heart alai !
The wreck within umy be hid with smiles,
Which are ever bright and bland,
But 'tis like the ivy's verdansy,
That covers a ruin grand !
And think net, though the eyes are bright,
Though the ch eeks may wear no stain,
, That the love-lorn heart is all restored
It cau never love again !
There is a 'love' which is not love,
But cumothing far more base,
Which lives on tilth and station high,
fair foric, or charming fact ;
But wh-re two souls together run,
Like fallen drops of rain,
Woe, woe ia theirs, if they mutt part,
Tht'.y i an never love again i

, . This doctrine also means the abolition of
slavery in the States. If it be true, us the
black-republican leaders asert, that slaves
are not property, and that they are only
held by usnrpation and tyr'ny.what is more
natural than for such men, when they get
into power, to put down this "usurpation
nnd tyranny," and declare the slaves free?
Abolition is the natural and inevitable
consequence of the doctrine that man
cannot hold property in man, and hence
w are not surprised to see the same men
who proclaim, aUo, the abolition f sla
very in the States.

Governor Chase, of Ohio, is another ad
vocate of the 'irrepressible conflict."' A
fewtlaysa.ro, at iWiac, Michigan, he
thuii stated the issue, or rathor his con
ception of the issue between the par
ties : 1
"I ask you to fake aides and decide
where you will be. 'If the Lord be God,
then serve him ; but if Baal, then servo
him.' 'If slavery be right; if capital ought
to own labor, then go lor the doe'rine o
penly. It'you believe that freedom is tho
rigiit ol man, then join the party which
lms inscribed on the folds of its banner
"Freedom throughout the country 's wide
domain."
It may be well to add that we know of
no party, save the black republicans, that
contends for this issue. The democratic
party is rihlitu' for the eonstituLinnnl
rights or all seel ions for the Constitution
as it is, and for the Union as it is. TIipv
have nothing to do with slavery or aotU
l.i ' ey oo not proclaim -Mavery

nor uo t itey proclaim "freedom through

simple reason that the Constitution leaves
that question to be settled nnd decided by
the people of eAch State, and oach Terri
tory when they enme to form a State con
ititution preparatory to their admission
into the Union, for themselves. Gover
nor Chase would break down and tramp

in the House of Itepreseiitatives, May 10,

"Mr. Chairman, it has become obvious

The Rev. Edmund II. Sears is an ardent
black republican, He preached a sermon
on the 16th of June, 1H56, for the cause,
which was afterwards published as a repnb
"cnn campaign document. From
sermon, thus endorsed, we quote :

It has been well and truly said that 'the
law is the concentrated niajosty of the
voice of the people." He who violates a
law, therefore, not only insults, but com
mits an oflcnce ugainst the people. In
this Govornmcnt especially are we called
upon to yiela obedience 19 the laws. In
no other way can tho Republic exist. We
have a written Contitution, which our
fathers made and which we must observe,
if we expect to preserve our liberty, our
independence, and our Union. That
Constitution says :
No person held to service or labor in
one State, under the laws thereof, esca
ping into another, shall, in consequence
of any law or regulation therein, bo dis
charged from such service or labor, but
shall be delivered up on claim of the par
ty to whom such service or labor may be
due."
Under this provision, the Contrrcss of
ITU J passed, and Gen Washington approv
ed, a bill for the rendition ot fugitive
slaves, In 1850, Congress amended this
bill in some slight particulars, not alter-,
ing its main features, or violating t ie prin
ciple of the act of 1713. The man vho
refuses to yiela obedience to the Ccustitu
lion and this law, as well aa othtr laws
made under its authotity, is an enemy lo
his country.

Weinswer, ther candidate for the pres.
idency not only refuses to yield obedi.
ence to the decision of the Supremo Court
uumcmauy ueciaret ft is intention to dis
regard that decision 1 In his Chicago
speech, July 10, 1858, he said :
"If I were in Congress and a rote nhould
come upon a question whether slavery
should be prohibited in a new Tenitory,
in tpite of the pred Scott decision, I would
VOT THAT IT SHOULD."
Having thus set the example of disobe.
dience of the Supreme Court, it is not
strange thnt his supporters should run off
in the same channel. Foremost of them
we lind Mr Sumner thus advising resis
tance to thj fugitive slave law in a speech
in Boston in 1(450 ;
"The good citizens, as he reads the re
quirements of this act, (relative to fugi
tive slaves,)is filled with horror.
Here the path ol duty is clear. I ah bound
TO DIHOBET TUIS ACT."
"Sir. I will iiot dishonor this homo of
the Pilgrims, of the Revolution by admit
ting ;;uy, 1 cannot believe that this
bill will be executed here."
Again, in the Senat of the United
Stale, we see hitn again, reiterating his
teierinination not to obey the law. Mr.
Butler, of South Carolina, asked, "If we
repeal the fugaiive-alave-law, will Massa
chusetts execute the provision of this con
Htitution4without any law of Congress ?
Will this honorable senator (Mi. Sumner)
tell me that he will do it" To, which
Mr Sumner replied : 'Is ihy servant a dog
thai he should do this thing?" Mr Butler
continued: "Then you would' not obey
thcConstitution. Sir, standing here before
this tribunal, whero you swore tosupport
it, you rise and tell mo it is the office of a
t in execute the Constitution of the U
nited
Stales?" To which Mr Sumner
said :

I recognize no such nn obliga-
The Hon. Edward Wade, of Ohio, in
the House, Aug. 2nd 1855, said:
"Thus, sir, the thrice-execrable fugitive
slave law, with its catch -polo bevy of slave
hunting commissioners and deputy mar
shals, becomet a nullity and nuisance the
villanous concoction of slave holding u
surpniion and dough-faced subserviency
and dissolved like stubble before the de
vouring lire."
On the 11th of March, 1850, Senator
Seward, of New York, thui spoke in the
Senate ;
"All this is just and sound ; but assum
ing the sumo premises to wit: that all
men are equal by tbir nature and cf na
tion the right of property in slaves rails
to the giound ; for one who is equal to
the olher cannot be the owner or proper
ty of that other. But yoj answer that
tho Constitution recognizes property in
slaves. It would be sufficient, then to re
ply, that this constitutional ulligution MUST
BE void, because i- it repugnant to the law
of nature and of nations."
Again, in his speech at Albany, New
York, October, 12, 1S55, Mr. Seward said,
"It is written in the Constitution of the
United Slates, in violation of the divine law,
that we shall surrender Ihe lugutue slave.
You blush not at these things because
they are familiar as household Words."
Still again, in his speech in the Senate,
March, 2d, 1858, Mr. Seward thus assailed
the Dred Scott decision and the Supreme
Court :
"The Supreme Court also can reverse
itt spurious judgment more easily than wo
can reconcile the people to its usurpa
tion." "The people of the United
States never can. and they never will, ac
cept principle so unconstitutional and ab
horrent. Never, never. Let thecoirt re
cede. Wheiuri- it recedes or not, we shall
rrarailhtir ttif rntirl mil lttt rtfnnn il nti'lt'trnl
tentimcnts and practices, end brine them into I
harmony with the Constitution nnd the
laws of nature."
To the same effect is the address of the
republican State convention of New York
in October, 1857 .
"It is one of tho most lamentable feat

Senator Wilson, of Mnsachuselts, who
seem to have been n pioneer in tho came
af assailing the Supreme Cot rt, it will be
remembered that in 1855, in the city of
Philadelphia, a band of abolitionists, with
Passmore Williamson at its head, rescued
a fugitive slave from the hands of the offi
cers of the law. For this he was tried
condemned and imprisoned. Referring
to this matter in his speech at New York
October 12th 1855, Mr Wilson said,
"We shall change the Supreme Court of
the United States, and face men in that
court who believe with its pure and im
niaculate Chief Justice, John Jay. that

In 1S50, Joshua R. Oiddings nddrescd a
letter to a meeting at Palmyra, Onio, in
wtiich, speaking ot the fugitive sluve
he raid ,
"Yet we ure told we must obey this law

"Mr Giddtags. Yes sir. I would have

them from my premises. I would have
kicked him from txy door yard if he hud
made his appearance there ; or hud he
be altamyted to enter my dwelling I
would have stricken him down upon the
threshold of my door."
Now hear tho Rev Henry Ward Beeoh
er :
"If there were as many laws as there
arelines in the fugitive-slave law, and as
many officers n- theie were lions in Dan
iel's lion's den. I would disregard every law
but God's, and help the fugitive. The of
ficers might catch me, but not him, if I
could help it."
We ask every honest man in this broad
land, can any government exist where the
people are taught to disregard and resist
the Constitution and tho laws ? Does not
such a stale of things ineviiubly lead I o
anarchy and tho overthrow of Govern
ment? By what right do you hold you
lands, your houses, nnd your property ol
every dcbcription ? By what right do you

In his tenth-of-July speech in Chicago,
(see iieoates, page lo,) hlv. Lincoln, in
reply tosomesinctuics on his Springfiold
speech, said :
"1 did not even say that I desired that
slavery should be put in course of ultimate
extinction. 1 do say so now, however;
so the: e need be no lomgerany diJiculty
about that. It may be written down in
the great speech."
"1 have always hated slavery, I think,
as much as any abolitionist 1 have been
an old lino whig I have always haled il ;
but I have always been quiet about it un
til this new era of the introduction of the

I always believed
that everybody was against it, and that il
was in course of ultimate extinction."
Mr. Seward, in his great speech at
Cleveland, Ohio, in the canvass of J848.
useit the following explicit and unmista

In his speech in the Senate, March II,

when we are lep iating for States, especi
