S3" If jou are ready to eacnfic " the last man and the last dollar," you own person and cwn dolíais iiieluded not for tho restoraüon oí the Union under Consthution, but lor tht, avowed pnrpose of dostroying a loca inetitution, protection towhich is guar anteed by the Constitution, Iheo vote íor Abraham. Lincoln ; and if be hall be elecU'd, rcsolve to do your duty iike a man, give your persou and your dollqra to the work, and not seek to save the ono by iiiring a substituto, und the other by procunng exetnptioo on plea of physical disability or over-agc. But if you wish the war prosecutcd or the solo purposa of putting down the rebellion, reptorii g the Union, and preserving the Constitution - the char ter o! our national liberties and guar antee of our individual rights - vote br Güorge B. McCellan. L35 If Abiïaiiam Lincoln, or any othar person for tbe time being occupying tbe Presidentiul cl:a:r, may viólate a single provisión of tbo Constitution on tbe plea of " military necesaity," bo may, undur the fanie pica, viólate all ts provisions. " Military nece.'-sity" ís tbe plea of lyrants. It miy gore the citizen oí South Carolina todny, but let the citizen of Michigan beware of the maddeneel buil to morrow. Written Constitutions and written laws are inore ftecessary in timus of oivil striie and revolution than in times of profonnj peaoe. Then let every votcr candidly consider whetber Abraham Liboonb bas obeyed the Oonsiitution, or uhether bis oath to obey it will be respected iu the future. If it is not tbe guide of bis every step, it is dangerous to national" and individual liberty to re-elect hitn. L3E Iu the inaugural address of President Lincoln, delivered Marcli 4th, Ig61, be faid : "1 have 110 purpo.se, directly or indirect!?, "to int#rfere with the iustitution of jlacery ti "the States where it exists. J bclieve I 'ham "nortghtiodo o; and I havo no ïiclinatioii "to do so." Aud, yet, in the faoo of this declaration, lbo Qonatitutiou n the meantime remaining the same, and no. new "riffht" having been logally couferred upon tho President, he has violated this pledge, and iasned anernanoipation pi-ooclamationtbat slighUy "interfares with the institution of slavery in the States." In view of tbis record, who will say that the policy of the Administraron has not changed; and that 'for the worso ; thiit the President hns not been foroed to adopt unconstilutional grounds, to exercise a right that ho did not possess : or else that ie uad meaningless larguage ;n bis inaugural, sud made a solemn promiao with (be dnsign to viólate it at the firet oppoptunity. His partisansmny take eitber horn of the dílemiua thcy choose, but eau they claim for bim the support of true Unioo men ? iy Be careful and nof, let Republicaos get bold si jour packages of tickots on TucsJ j, If y0U do tèej will gt back iuto y.onr hands a litlle mixed.
