REMEMBER 1 !
The fulure of our once happy country
is trembling in the scale 1 The mad poli
oy of fanaticl Aboltionists has stricken a
fearful blow at the preservation of the
Union. Tho insane courso of fanaticism
wuu.d tratuple upon the Constitutional
tint. V"t
then you are only supposing the eaae.--You
have not yet attempted to show that
Abraham Lincoln has set aside any of the
Constitutional limitations of bin authority.
Dan. I shall show that now. Ono ar
ticle in the Constitution provide, that
"Congress shall make no law abridging
She freedom of speech or of the press." j
Mr.Liocoln has suppressed certain news
papers. Tkat waa a direct violation of the
spirit and letter of that nrticle. There is
another article which says "Tho trial of
all crimes, exoept in ease, of impeach
tn.nt, .hall be by Jury ; and such trial
shall be held in the Mates whore the said
orimes shall have bean committed." There
is another which says ''In all criminal
prosecution.", tho accused shall enjoy the
right to a speody and public trial, by an
impartial jury of the Stale and district
wherein the crime shall havo bocn com
mitted, which district shall have been
previously ascertained by law ; and to be
informed of the nature and causa of tho
accusation : tn bo coo fronted by tho wit
nesses against him ; to havo compulory
process for obtaining witnesses in bis fa.
vor, and to have the assistance of counsel
for his defence." There is yet another
article, whiou provide that "no persou
shall be deprived of life, liberty, or prop
erly, without due process of law." Now
sir, you know, as well as I, that Mr. Lin
coln lift, violated and disregarded all these
provisions, which were., above all others,
intended os a check upon his power, and
to secure to the people of this land their
"inalienable rights" for whish our fore-
limits of a tree people. Your one. i;lorh I fathers fought and bled. Are wo, sir,

txdicve, sir, with Mr. Hallam, the Enulittk
historian, that "a suspicious people are
most likely lo retain their liberties." I
believe with Andrew Jackson that "eter-1
nal vigilance is the pria of liberty." And
1 am surprisetl that you, an old line whig,
should so far depart fioui the teachings of
your great leaders. Who more bitterly
denounced any attempt on the part ef the
Military or Executive authority to tram,
pie upon tho laws, than Henry Clay, whom
you styled "the embodiment of whig prin
ciples." And listen to the language of
Daniel Webster, "the great expounder of
the Constitution, and one of your greatest
lea ders :" "Constitutional liberty must
never permit power, and frjjroVMcK;iY
power, to overstep its prescribed limits,
either in ptact or war, though benevolent
motives and patriotic intent coma along
with it. Tho spirit of liberty is jtalout nf
tnnoachnenU, jealmts of powtr, jealiHt of men.
At all timet it demands checks ; it insists on
securities ; it entrenches itself behind des
fenseB, and fortifies iuelf against the as
saults of ambition and pansion." Now
Sir,
Kip. Stop, Jim, you need argue that
point no longer, 1 see clearly that you
wero right and I was wrong, I see that
the exerciso of such arbitrary powers by
the President is a crand stride towards
despotism, whether so inteuded or not.
I see. too tba t we should speak and act
in sucn a man ncr aa to show that "we
know our rights, and knowing will main
tain them."
Dsn. Well, John, I have changed my
opinion about the war.
Her. So have I.Jim. We both thought
at first that we could easily conquer the
South, and that therefore wo ought to do
it, but I suppose we aro both snlisfiod by
this time (hat the conquest of the South is
an impossibility, and bting an impossibil

useless, and being useless is wrong, for it
