Their programme . is. that the war shall go on till the South shall unconditionally surrender to them, or in other words, till tha South is entirely sub jugated ; and n>>t even then—though the South be humiliated to the lowest degiadi'ion and the people throw themselves upon their kudea for mercy, not even il en are we to liavn [ eace and the b!e*stni:s of Union.

I deny t e pght of this j ,g' vrrnment to carry oil u war f..r the ptir- j j p..so of the abolition of slavery. You will j j hear in mind that it is no question of the it oraltty or t>e propriety of the abolition to -lav. ry. Tlie qu-ti >n is this : can this gov ernment carry on a war for the purpose of overturning the institution* of the respective sta es ? That is the question presented. Dinnmitter whether it is slavery or whether it is the banking in*tiiu'i ms of the -fate* ; the educational system, or the inter nal improvement system of the states. If •he government can carry on a war f..r the j j pt'tp >se "I abohahii g slavery, ir can carry it i <>n for the purp.£? >f 'he abolition of any ol h t*r state insfitution, wiping oll ' state consti tution*, r d ntakii.g every sta'e a hleTe de pendent upon a consolidated n*urped a"'- ] despotic centralized government. (Cfteet*.) j ! Look f.r one moment w .at wa* lite is*ue ] between the Narth and the South in this con • T'>ver*v ? The South claimed the right to i ec. de from the Uui in under the Cons'tur- j 'i .n. Thetj' ground was that tiaving agreed to this C institution they bad the right to rescind the resolution agreeing to it at any time when they MW fit, and abandon the Union for such a government a* they might deem for their inie'e*t. We took i**ue with them. We insisted that the Constitution , was obligatory upon all the state* ; that ihe | United States government was u pre me in ' ••very stale, and that thjt government had a ! right to enforce obedience to its constitution- j al requirements in every s'ate tinier its at}- J thorny, if necea*ary by force of arms. That | waa our position. That is our position to I day. We stand upon that po*ition. Clieer*.) That wa6 the position the admuiiatranon stood upon when the war commenced. But now they aeek to go further, and if you look at tho issue a single moment, you will see that the very inomvnt they go freyond requir ing obedience to the Conetitut ion, beyond the vindication of thd authority of the 6 eneial government, that moment tbey themselvce bee-men v ilmmnary.
