long siuco pjf t cind to congratulate
themselves tlmt tin founded their political
opinion tipou in Immovable Lima of prin
ciple, which nwmri-d the perpetuity of tlicir
creed. They pointed with mi apparent
pride to tlio firm tund of tho'r leader
Douglas and loudly boon ted that though
lir-atcii in the l.ile content, they would give
tattle again on tho name set of principle
in 18C4. How much mortified and humil
luted nich Democrats in itxt feel at the
course pursued in emigres the present tun-
nion l.y their great leader und hid follower,
I'ugh, Vullundigham, aud other Douglu
Democrats
i'or years 1ms Douglas dmied that any
power except the pmjilc of the. totality IihiI
any right or power to touch tho Kluvery
qtiealiou. In tho fuce of his own urgent
iittctnpt in 1818 to prohibit shivery In nil
the territory north of 30' 30' Ly tho Mis
souri line in tho teeth of his own vote, to
prohibit slavery in all that part of Texas
north of that latitude, and his solemn dec
laration in tho Sinn to in 1850 tlmt dm
grefs, in Ids opinion, had the power to pro
vent negro slaves from being' enrried into
tho Territories Mr. Douglas voted to teur
owny all those restrictions which he hud
aforctiuio aided in cnucting nud what was
the reason he gavo to justify himself before
the country? It was, that these enact
incuts conflicted with tho tucred right of
tht people to govern thtmstluti, Aud
whu'ovcr of popularity or strength with
tho masses Mr. Douglas and his party may
have had, has been on account of his mti
posed attachment to this greut principle.
For six years it has been tho rallying cry
und tho battle song to uuilo nnd nerve tlmt
partisan host. For six years Imvo the Re
publicans been vuinly trying lo provo to
tho deluded followers of Douglas tlmt they
were being cheated and deceived by one of
tho most arrant delusions I hut the history
of tho world lias ever chronicled in politics
nnd now, when muuy of his adm'ivrs had
fondly flattered themselves that tho inlog.
rity and constancy of their lender nnd tlicir
party wero placed beyond question when
even taunting enemies must acknowledge it
they find their proud chieftain hauling
down tho flag of " popular sovereignty,"
und, with his fallen colors trailing in the
dust, calling to h's army of chosen friends
to desert the platform upon which they
mid stood so long with daring and Gi niuess.
and train with him in tho camps of their
toes.
In 18-18, Douglas voted to settle the ex
isteticc, or nou existence, of slavery in the
territories, by act or Congress, nud de
declared that the net by which he proposed
to accomplish that purpose was " u sacred
compromise, a I; in to the Constitution, nnd
tlmt no reckless hand would ever dare to
disturb its just provisions"; in lS50,.ho
repented his votes nnd declarations of two

issue of a pnneiplo clearly di fined, nnd
then within six weeks from its close, open
ly aud avowedly deserting that principle,
and advocating its opposite, have never
before been witnessed in this country.
Such base duplicity, and recklessness of
principle, is a disgrace to our age and

The firing of ll.irty ionr gnus nnuounced
the approaching train bearing the Presi
dent elect nun party. I lie President was
ie.eiv.-d and welcomed by Gov. Morion
and escorted to a carriage, drawn l y four
white horses. The procession formed itself
into n pageant seldom, if ever, witnessed
here before. It was composed of members
of both Houses of the L-gislature, public
officers, municipal authorities, military and
firu companies, cit Zens and strangers. The
President elect stood in h s carriage no-knowh-dging
the welcome. The procession,
upon reaching tho Rotes House, halted,
and Mr. Lincoln was escorted to the bal
cony, where he addressed his fellow citizens.
Ho said ho came lure to thank them for
tiie guppnit givi n by Indiana ton true
nnd just cause, ami proceeded to remark
that coercion and invasion wero terms
much used now with temper and hot blood;
let. us not misunderstand their meaning,
nor the nia'ihg or those who use them;
let us get th ir meaning from men who dep
recate the things they would represent by
their use.
He asked would marching nn army into
Soul h Carolina with hostile intent be in
vasion. I think it would, and it would br
coercion also if the South Carolin.ins w.-rr
forced to submit. Rut if the United States
should mep ly hold and take ts own forts,
and collect duties, or withhold the mails
when they wero habitually v.ulated. would
any or all these things be invasion or coer
cion? Do profess onul Uuonlovtrs, re
solved to resist eoerc'on, understand thut
such things us these on Iho part of the
United Stales, would bo coercion or inva
sion? If they do, their idea nf preserva
tion is exceedingly thin and airy, and their
view of the Uui is family relations would
seem to bo tlmt it is 110 regular marriage,
but a sort of free-love arrangement lo bo
maintained by personal attractions.
In what consists t he special saeredness
of a State? I speak nut of the position as
signed to a Statu in the Union by the Con
stitution, for that, by the bond, we all re
eogniz". If n Stat.' and county possess
equals in territory ami inhabitants) in what,
as ii matter of principle, is the State belter
than the county? Would an exchange of
names lie mi exchange of rights upon prin
ciple' Isy what rightful nriucinli! mav ..
Slate being not more than one-fifteenth
part of the nation, in so I and population,
break up the nation, and then coerco the
larger division of itself? What mysterious
r'g'.l to play tyrant is conferred on a dis-
tr.ct of country with its people, by merely
calling it n Slate? Mr. Lincoln in conclu
sion, said he was not asserting anything,
but asking questions for theni to consider
and decide in . tic ir own minds what was
right and what w..s wrong. ,
Guv. Morton being loudly called for. nn-

Barlow's Dixxer. We regret that we
were uui.DIo to attend Iho Union meeting
held on Monday, fio 4th, nt Win. B .flow's,
but wo learn that there were about five
hundred persons present, one hundred of
whom wero Indies and that everything
went off to tho satisfaction of nil present
l'lie sentiment is unanimous that too much
cannot bo said in p n'se of Mr. I'nrlow and
his estimabio w fr, who lelt nothing undone
tlmt would contribute to the comfort and
happiness of the r guests. The table was
decorated In Dutifully, nud must bountifully
supplied with the choicest tilings lor the
palate. At tho head of tho table was n
mnul, bearing this inscription: "Tho maul
with which Old Abo will drivo secession
into nonentity." S irring speeches were
made by Judge Grim, Jos. Magnne, nnd
F. Wilber, of Marion, mid W. A. St.nk
weutlurnnd Mr. Garrett of this county.
The fine German Brass Band from Aurora,
was present, nnd enlivened the meeting
with tnus'e. Quito a number of patriotic
toasts were drunk, with the greatest en
thusiasm. The hou.su was thrown open for
those who wished to dance, mid thu festivi
ties wero kept up nil night. The official
report of tlio meeting we expect to publish
u. xt week.
