tion of slavery, rio Later of tbe negro; and have no desire to 8ee the former perpe'uated out of jjl-will to the latter. But slavery existod ai the foruiaíion of the government, it was recognized by the Constifution, and without such recognition the Conslituíion could not Lave becn adopted and ths Union creatsd. It 3 a local íüstitutio, aad can be regulated and abelished by tho Otates alooe, and not by Congress or thu President. Wo shall be glad to seo its existence terminated whenever it can be done íor the benefit of both master and s'ave, but we protest against the warbeingperTerted from its legitimáis object, the putting down of tho rebellion, and indefinitely prolonged for the immediate extinctie of slayery. To prosecute it for this object, and to its ulti'nate ncomplishinent, is to viólate the Oonstitution,-aDd that once buried in wreek nd ruin, we hold our rights as States and citizena at the meroy of Asiiaiiam Lincoln and Lis swarra of military sub ordinates,- to slaughter millions of white men, to pilo up an untold debí, of which we can not pay even the interest, and all to oonfer a doubtful benefit upon the colored race. We say doubtful, for while gradual euianoipation might benefit the white race of the South and elévate the black, we fally believe that iiumediate, unconditional emancipation wíj] 8ow the eeeds of destruetioa. in the black race. 80 thinking, and so belioving, wo shall vote for GEouan B.
