The following extract of. a letter of
President Lincoln, published in the
London Dispatch, May 27, 1862, we
print for the benefit and consideration
of the present day admirers of the
“sainted Lincoln.” Mr. Lincoln ut­
tered a logical truth in this extract,
that we presume it will be hard for the
Rump Congress knaves and their sat«
ellites to explain on a different hypoth­
esis :
“If ve succeed in conquerimg^the
seceders back to the Union, the very
genius of The Uonstitution requires
that we should concede to them their
original representation in Senate and
Congress, and suffrage for the Presi­
dency. If we robbed them of self-
government we would justify4 their
treason and rebellion, and utterly de­
stroy the elementary principles of the
Federation.”
S truck a G ood T hing .—There
are a great many preachers down South
engaged in the lucrative business of
solemniiing marriages between the
blacks for ode dollar a pair. One rev­
erend gentleman from Boston is mak­
ing from $20 to $50 per day in this
nefarious business. What will not the
Puritans, and especially the Puritan
clergy, do for a dollar ? They persuade
these benighted mortals (the negroes)
that their former marriage waa illegal
and void because they were slaves, and
that they are liable to be indicted for
adultery if they are not remarried.—
Thus the negro, for whom so many
crockadilc tears have been shed, falls a
prey to the cupidity of those mercenary
wretches who have devoted their lives
to the cause of abolition*. : • -r. -
