LINCOLN'S RECORD.
Hie Abolitionism Froved—Re is in Favor
of Negro Equality
The doctrine of clew° equality lays nt the
ftmnintion of nll Abolitionism ; for when
that doetrine is fully neknowledgea and enr
ried out and the negro is put upon an equal
ity with the white man, of course slavery
would be abolished—there would be no slaves
—all would be plaeed upon nit equality. The
reason the Itetittblicnns ittsii4 so strenuously
upon that doctrine is because it is a sure drive
to abolition everywhere ; and no man has more,
strenuously insist^d op in it than Mr. Lincoln,
for in his celebrated CLINT° speech lie uses
the fol:owinz extraordinary language :
" I should like to know if, taking this old
Decimation of Independence, whica declares
that all men are equal upon r
making excepto t 9 it, where recd it stop
one snags says it does NOT /NW,/ a mewl), why
not another say it does mean some other innti
—[See Lincoln and Dm,;las Debates, p.
edition.)
Ile re is n pointed declarntion made I.y Mr.
Lincoln that he belieres in the doctrine of ne
gro equality without qualifiontion.
And to show his rim in expressing his firm
belief in the doctrine, he ad.ls:
"If that declaration is not the truth, let us
get the statute hook and le ir it out 1 If it is
not true, let as tear it owl ! Giles of no, no.]
Let us stick to it then: let as 'land firmly by

in the following nto-t emphatic words:
"1 I•elieve tnot the entiro records of the

Which simply means that when our fath

clared lltemselres free, they were declaring the
NEGROES FREE ALSO.
Agnin Mr. Lincoln not only declares that
the Declaration of Lade/ eddence includes the
negro as created equal, tut he adds that they
aro created flee and equal. in the following
codicil 141 his benediction at Chicago:
" My friends, I could not Ilittsuut launch

that the lamp of liberty will town tp your bo

that all men are created FREE and equal."—
jSee Lincoln's edition of Debates, page 24.]
Thus interpolating the Declarution of In
dependence, in order to carry out his Aboli
tion doctrines.
That Mr. Lincoln desires to reduce thiS
doctrine to practice is proved by turning to
the Illinois Jaameal of September 16, 0 , 56,
wherein we find hinkrepurted se declaring at
a banquet at Chit•ago
"That central idea, in our political opin
ion, at the beginning was, and,until recently
continued to Le, the equably of mem. Arid
although it was always submilted patiently,
to whatever inequality there seined to be as
a matter of actual necessity, its constant
working het been a steady progress towards

" Let past differeneee as indhing le ; and
with steady eye on the real is•otes., let 11/1 in

public. We can do it. The human heart is
with us; God is with us. We shatl again be
able not to declare that all the States, as
States, are equal, nor yet that all citizens as
citizens are equal, but renew the broader,
better declaration, including bid' tenses and
much more, that all men are crested equal."
When pushed by Judge Douglas as to his
meaning when he declared that " it (slater))
should be placed where the public wince
should rest in the belief that it was in the
Course of ultimate extinction," lie declares
that
" I . did not even sty that I desired that
slavery should LA rut in course of ultimata
extinction. I tb, say so nor, however, so there
need be no longer any illifteulty about that.—
It may be written dowijarthe great speech."
Webster says the vNali ot extiuctiom means
" to put out." or " the of putting out,"
" destruction," or, in othliVerords, AIk)LISUI.
At Charleston, 111., MilkiLincoln says :
" An elderly gentleman called upon me to
know whether I was really iu favor of a PER
FECT equality between we negroes and We
white people. '—lDelrttos, page Li ti.]
And then he goes on to say that ho is not
nor ever has been in favor of the icrfecl so
cial and political equality of the whites and
blacks. And truly adds :
"I have never seen to my knowledge, a
man, woman,
or child who was in favor of
producing a PERFECT equality, social and
poliliets4 between negroes and a bite men."—

Not even Lloyd Gartiaon,Wendell Phillips,
Gerrit Smith, Dr. Cheever, or even Greeley
or Giddings, are in favor of producing &par

lower than another. as the aim may be.
At Alton, Mr. Lincoln said :

not mean to declare all men equal is all res

in what they did consider all men created
equal—equal in certain inalienable right.,
inning which is life, LIBERTY, and the per.

In this speech. Mr. Lincoln gave his tree

Profitable Patriotism
The Republicans of the Chester and Dela-
Wale district have nominated John Ilickman
fur re-election to Congress. Mr. Brqcimall,
the nominee of Delaware county, was compell
ed to stand aside, in order that Ilickman re
ceive the reward of his apostasy. llickman's
patriotism is of the paying kind ; he has nev
er yet been compelled to testify his devotion
to principle by sacrificing his personal ambi
tion. Two years ago he professed to be a
Democrat of the strictest order. and by divi
ding both the Democratic and Republican
parties succeeded in being returned to Con
gress ; but finding that this game could nut be
successfully played over again, bejuined the
Republican party just in time to secure% re
nomination. From a disorganising free-soil
Democrat he hits become an open, decided

still have a fellow feelings for him, and have
determined to promote his election by miming.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
Linoola a Know Nothing.
From a ipeeh delivered ip Congress on the
10th of June last by Don. Isrunt N. Norris,
of Illinois. w s make the following extract.
I remember very well to have heard it said
come four years ago that Mr. Lincoln was in
Quincy. the city of my residence, attending
a Know Nothing lodge. I saw hint there at
the time, and I have, no doubt ho went into
the halge. If his friends deny it. I am antis
fied I qua- prove tbasel. Mr. Lincoln has
been seeiing too , for popularity and
place not to avail himself of the influence,
when be could do it, of an organization so pow
erful as that was for a time—more especially
as its doctrines harmonized so well with his
natural proclivities.
The Quincer Heiald. a Democratie news•
paper. uses the following l.tngnage tearing
upon this point. There is a heap of truth in
what the editor says:
"The Know Noehiny Elentenl Triumphed,—
That the Know Nothing element in the liTack
Repub:icsa party triumphed at Chicago, in the
nomination of a presidential candidate, is now
generally well understood. The contest was
narrowed down to Seward and Linonln. So
far as the slavery question WAS concerned,
they both occupied about the came position.—
There was no respect in which Lincoln was
preferable to Seward with the Mark Repub
licans then and there assembled, except that
Lincoln had been a Know Nothing and Sew
ard had not. It is well known to many of
onr citizens that Lincoln vi?ited a Know Noth
ing lodge in this citt. tit• first year that or
ganization was in existence. for they saw him.
come out, and many - of them saw and heard'
him address the lodge while he was in Were.
Mr. Seward had never been a Know Nothing.
On the contrary, be was one of the first pub
lic men in the country to take a bold and open
stand against We Kn iw Nothing organiza
tion. And it was precisely this that beat him
iu,the Chicago convention. It wasp
tnwl
edge of the fact on the part of the me hers
of that convention that Lincoln had been a
Knew Nothing, and that Seward' had not,
that nominated Mr.-Lineoln."
lispublicanism and John Brownism.
The Republicans of Massachusetts have
nominated one John A. Andrews fur Gover
nor. the man who juntilled John Brown. In
November last in a speech he said:
"I pause not to ennsiacr, IM eatue it is whol
ly outside 'of the duty or the thought of thin
asnembly. to-night, whether the enterprise
of John Brown nod his annocinten in Virgin
ia au wino or forlinh, right or wrong. I
know only that u bolter the enterprise itrrlr
was the one or the uther, Juitia..thowishininc/1
wen right."
This thou.,' that in the strongest Republi
can States, they are for old John Brown, dead
or alive.

Union and Harmony.
The Berke county Democracy have set a
good example. At their regular County Meet
ing. on Tuesday week, the friends of Brock
inridge and Douglas acted together as a unit,
and (without saying eight rest ecting Presi
dential candidates) unanithentsly passed retro
lothnur endorsing the nomination of Gen.
Bum* D. Parma, and urging the importance
of union and harmony in the party. The
meeting was address. I by gentlemen from
both wings of the party, and the utmost good
feeling prevailed. Tnis is as it should be,
and if thu Democracy everywhere will but
follow the wimple of old Berk', we shall
have no trouble in cat tying the State in Octo
ber kind November.
The Pittqburg Gazette, week before
last, charged that the Catholic Frieiits of
Berko and Schuylkill counties had :old the
people from the pulpit to vote fur Foster for
Governor. The Pittsburg CaMaio denied
the statement, and called fur proof. The
Gazette refuses to give names or dates, and
says the editor of the Catholic should hunt
them up himself. This is an old dodge of the
Gazette. The editor makes a charge against
Catholics, which he knows to be false, and
fails to respond to the call for proof. This
is in accordnace with the morality of the
Gazette, but has never yet found favor among
gentlemen.— Grerasburg Democrat.
Old Ale's Ow.t Slate.—The Blivek Republi
cans brag " a good bit" abbot their ability to

their claim is well founded. A special election
was bald in Galena, a few days ago, foi City
Treasurer, and the Republicans made special
etTurta to carry it, but were not successful,
the Democrats electing their candidate by
more than the usual majority. Galena is the
centre of a strong Republican district.

Riot at a Political Meetiar.
Several l'erzont Fridoy even
ing a made meeting of the Bell and Everett
party in Philadelphia, at the corner o( Broad
and South streets, was broken up by parties
belonging to a Republican club. The Lodger
bee the following account of the affair :
Soon after the organization the Republican
Ir.vincibles passed in procossi.,n, followed by
an immense crowd. While it was moving
by, cheers were given for Lincoln and llarnlin
on one side, and for Bell and Everett on the
other, but there was not any fighting. In a
few minutes, stones wore thrown from a
Crowd that had gathered on the southwest
corner of Broad and South streets, and this
was kept up until the 801 l and Everett men
rallied in sufficient force to drive them,baek.
The speaking wa.s then resumed, but it was
not long before it was again interrupted in a
eimPar manner. The speaker was stoned,
and most of those on the stage were struck
and injured, among whom were reported to
be the Hon. Edward King and David Paul
I Brown, Esq. The assailants were now. in
'sufficient force to drive off the Bell and Ever
ett men,
and did so for a considerable
Broad distance
up street. Orders wore then sent to
the Bell and -Everett headquarters for rein
forcements, which, upon arriving succeeded
in beating back the rioters. A running fight
followed, in which brickbats and. stones were
thrown and pistols were fired. A few police
men were on the ground when the attack was
,made, but they did not remain.
Finally, after more than an hour's bard
fighting, the Bell and Everett men were driv
en off aqii i the meeting broken up. The (E
-6s and eskers were stoned and pelted with
rotten• eggs, and after they were obliged .to
leave, the stage was demolished._ Reports
were current that several men were shot, and
from the number of reports of pistols:-they
were no doubt true, but the names of the in
jured could not ho ascertained. The driver
of the cart containing the large bell generally
used in the processions, was said to be one of
the number. One of the "minute men " nam
ed Smith, was severely out in the held, and
several were badly hurt with stones. A pos
se of the seventemith ward police made their
appeara , :ce when the riot was drawing to
n close and arrested nine of the alleged
rioters. The whble affair was one of the
most disgraceful attempta to interfere with
the right of tree discussion that has evet
taken place in this city-.and the rioters
should be made an example of. It is sup
posed that the outrage was in retaliatiort
for a disturbance created byL s artiea burrning

and not the "straighte," are the true friends
of Douglas—
The Committee appointed by Hendrick B.
Nrright, Chairman of the Mass Convention,
held at Harrisburg, met at that place on the
15:h, and resolve& in secret session, as we
are informed, to place " a clear Douglas elec
toral ticket" in the field. As the frie.o 1 of
Mr. Douglas, and an ardent desirer of his
success, we condemn this movement: It was
in the power of this Committee to have render
ed a very great service to the Democracy by
recommending the support of the compromise
at Cresson. Instead of this, the Committee
has taken such action as will assist the Re
publican party in the election of Lincoln.—
They seem to have utterly repudiated the idea
of any effort to preserve the Demecratiti or-.
ganirttion of the State, and by declaring
against it, have given great satisfaction to the
Opposition. By openly going over to the
Republican ranks, this Coinraittee could sin
serve the cause of Litioulli more effectually
than they have done by their efforts to create
and coutinue a division in the Democratic
ranks.
No true friend of Mr. Douglas can, with
any consistency, favor this Harrisburg move
ment. It is, in fact, a bolter's ticket. The
ticket nominated at Reading is certainly the
only authorized and regnlar ticket of tho Dein
°critic organization of the State. We do net
wish the name of Mr. Diuglas to be associated
with disorganization. We do. nut with to see

The Cresson Compromise gives every Dou

glas and Ills principles. It simply aakowle I
gee what every ir.an knows to be a fact, that
there is a division in the party, and by & sim

wish to vote for Mr. Douglas to express their
preference for another, without granting
that that other is in any sense entitled to
claim a single Detitoeratio vote. Under no
contingency which can possibly arise ander
the resolution, can the Cresson miasmata
possibly be of any benefit to any other multi

But those who - still bold out in favor of
State disorganisation, openly admit that they
prefer Mr. Lincoln to any other Democrat
than Mr. Douglas. Their parlassialtiprier
