The Macomb (1114 Eagle has • raked up
born its old file a speech made by Abra
ham Lincoln in 1844; in which he said i s
. "Mr. Jefferson
_is a stateman ...whose
praises are never out of the month of the
Democratic parts. ' I.et us attend to this
Uncompromising friend of. freedom• whose
nano is 'continually invoked against the
Whig. party. The character. of Jefferson
was repulsite. Continually puling about
liberty, espiality and the degrading cause
of slavery, he, brought his own children
under the hammer, and' made monef of
his debaucheries. Even at his death he
did not 'manumit his numerous offspring,
but left them, soul and body, to the cart
whip. A daughter of this vaunted.cham-.

LINCOLN ON TEE MMUS IVA&
The friends of Mr..Linceht.fivcitiently
assert that, ho was not bripqpid to the
Mexican :War.' '.' The following • article;
however, from the Easton Argils settles;
that point ! : How a soldier in that war
can vote for the Republican candidate, is
more than we can see. '
. If the opposition prints' will take the
trouble to examine the Congressional
Globe:tif §47,•they: Will find on page '59
the following resohitions
Irles*ed, - That the existing' way with
Mexico was -just and. necestary on • our
part, and has been .prosecuted' with the
solo purpose of .vindicating .imr national
rights and honor, 'and of securing an hon
orable peace. .
Resolved,. That the rejection of onr re
peated overtures of peace leaVes this gov
ernment no alternative but the vigorous.
'prosecution of the war t in such manner,
consistent with thelaws ef nations, aszWill
Make the enemy feel all it calamities and

thil war.
- OBterteq,
.Roolved,That - thc.ainount of the indent
nity must necegsayily deend upon the ob
stinacy of the enemy and the duration of
the war. • ,
On the adoption of these "resolutions,
Which juAified . the war which our
country was engaged, Mr: Lincoln voted
no. lie thus denied that the war with
Mexico was just and neeessary on our
part, aiid that' it was prosecuted for the
purpose.of vindicating the honor and re
dressing the rights of our nation. lle.op
pok4 the vigorous prosecution of and ,
our right to take indemnity for the inju.
ries sustained by our Government:.
But still More. On the 3d of January,.
1848, Geork, , e Asktnun, the president of
the late Chicago Convention, offered an
amenanient declaring the war " arm r(:ssa
rill/ and unconstitutionally brpun,"7and Mr.
Lincoln x=oted.for . the amendment, and he
might weltsav that be was in a position to
not grant thel'resident supplies. Ile
had voted the war unjust and unconstitu
tional how could he vote - for furnishing
supplies for carrying on such a war, and at
the same time' keep his oath of office ? .So
that, take him which, way we will, if he
, voted to support the war- t he violated his
I oath of (Ace, in - which he swore to sup
port the Constitution ; if he voted against ;
the supplies he merits-the Contempt ofev
cry- patriot in 'the country., A great man

little army was contending against the su

,knew; iind that
too, for the protection •of our national hon
or, would Vote that they were engaged in .
an unjust and uneopoitiitional war, and .
would say that he was in a position to
grant no supplies. The jristice and utility
of the Mexican war has Icing since been
proven; and the fact is equally evident'that
the people of the. United. States were fully
convinced of its justice. No knelt could
have' been in worse odor than George Ash-,
um, Old Abe Lincoln, and Tom Corwin,
for their intense hatred and bitter opposi
tio‘i to it, and the' very fact must le:ul the
people to "welcome them to hospitable
graves,"
