' On the 4th of July,' 18ll Lincoln as sembled Congress In eitri session which was chiefly devoted to . the inaugura tion of war measures, tut durinsr the long sessiQn a ses'df ifpUowe4 in rapid succession, striKing at tne siavje svstem As early as 'August, 1861. an act was passed to free all slaves used In March, ourpilitary- and naval officers were prohibited f from returning the fugitive slaves that might seek the pri tectiori of our ' fla'g ; and in April, the National Capital was "';Yowvw"lirfeed from the blighting Influences pf human slavery. These measures were followed by acts more radical as rapidly as they were sustained by public opinion; The statute of June, 19th, .1862, swept sla very from all the Territories, of the United States, and thus, Jefferson's Or dinance bf 1787, was re-affirmed as the nolicv of the National government; and the act of January 28, 1864, repealed the fugitive slave act, which for years had been a blot upon lour National es-: cutheoh. Thus slavery was Inhibited wherever the National Government had exclusive jurisdiction, and the hes itation of Congress to strike it down in the rebel and border States, was owing to its entrenchment behind the theory f State Rights, and the support it re ceived from the Democratic minority in the North, which in the fall of 1862, carried the elections in. a number of States. In January, 1863, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was issued, which virtually, abolished slavery, but to place the personal liberty of the freedmen beyond the reach of party majorities and Congressipnal.,interfer- . M Mni . 1 ' " A-L X'J 1.1 ence. the Tmrreenm u)nsuiuuuiu amendment was adopted and ratified every Republican State legislature en dorsing and every Democratic State rejecting this great charter of personal liberty. It is true this constitutional compact struck the fetters from the slaves in law, but it soon became evident that 7ifl..i.t. enfranchisement their libertv would be but nominal and a mockery, because, under vagrant and other op pressive laws, their former masters, who were the sole law-givers, would make the situation of the freedmen, In a material point of view, even worse than before. Thus the alternative was presented of maintaining a standing army to enforce the Thirteenth Amend ment, or to give the ballot to tneireed-; men for their own protection. It was considered a dangerous experiment, and the struggle was long and fierce. The Fourteenth . Amendment was adopted as a comprdmise ; but in Janu ary. 1867, despite the veto 'and active opposition of Johnson, who, after his apostacy traduced these measures and the party, if riot; with the same ability certainly with equal zeal, as the mal contents of the Senate do to-day ; an act was adopted enfranchising the freed men in all the Territories of the United States. . . : -. .. In February; 1869, the. personal free dom' and the right of self-government was secured to all citizens by the rati fication of the Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment ; and thus the work of a century was crowded into five years. How About Consistency ? . The Democracy have spoken in very severe terms of the bond swindles in this State. The Sentinel was foremost in its abuse of them, but Oecr, W. Swep son furnished some of that very money to buy The Sentinel for Mr. Turner! The Sentinel has denounced Gen. Clingman for being concerned with Swepson and Littlefield in the bond swindles, and the editor of The Sentinel knocked Gen: Clingman down because he sought to defend himself about it but Gen, Clingman built the Greensboro platform and the editor of The Sentinel is seated on it ! y i The entire ' Democratic press of the State have shouted themselves hoarse about bribery and corruption, but Gen. aiinaman swears ' he made fifteen thou sand dollars' by helping Sioepson and Litttefield in their little jobs and now he is kind " enough j to build a platform jor honest Democrats I How kind in Oen.

He has much the best cause, much the best monnor miiph the ' best voice, and much more hard sense than his oppo nent. Republicans wisn mat iney may continue joint discussions, and if the same impression is made else where as was here, Caldwell will be re-elected by 30,000 majority. ; Merrimon opened in a two hours' speech, in which he declaimed about T 1 a. v.; nt.rfl liKoW-tr mill. tary despotism, and general platitudes, TTTinVi rA all well enough in therr place, but which are fatal to his cause and party, wnen you come iu m, tiiciu to the present time, and make personal application of his principles. Merrimon said that the general gov ernment was corrupt and had spent BkmmiDiWt lishment like this government, to al ways secure the services of honest men, but that Grant had turned off many of Johnson's dishonest officials, and had reduced taxation many millions, while at the same time he was paying off, at a'rapid rate, the public debt.
