Abraham Lincoln (search for this): article 1
The sword of justice. As we anticipated, the refusal of the Southern Commissioners to accept terms of degradation, which those who proposed them knew could not be accepted, has been followed by a menace of exterminating vengeance. Lincoln's newspaper organ, the Chronicle, says "the sword of justice must execute the work which the folly of blinded leaders would not accord to the arts of pacification." The whole mission of Blair to Richmond was designed for no other purpose. Was ever a country before, with three large armies in the field, called upon to lay down its arms in unconditional submission; to give the party making the demand the right to hang its principal citizens if he chose to exercise it; to surrender its whole property, as the only condition of peace? And could a Government, making such a proposition, seriously expect compliance? Could it expect the most heroic race of men on this continent to sheathe their swords upon such terms? Could it believe the South

equires incessant labor to produce the bare necessaries of life, have long looked with an envious and greedy eye upon the rich plains, the genial suns and the overflowing comfort of Southern life. The abolition crusade has been manipulated by W. H. Seward with no other design than to pave the way for an exodus of the overflowing Northern hive to the green pastures and fertile fields of the American Italy. If the object of this invasion were the restoration of the American Union, what easier than for Seward to propose to our Commissioners reconstruction and a guarantee of the rights enjoyed by the South in the old Government? But he had no such purpose. He made demands which he was sure we would refuse, only to have a pretext for drawing "the sword of justice," or, what is meant thereby, exterminating, as far as practicable, the Southern population, and transferring every acre of Southern land to Northern hands. Now that this diabolical purpose is deliberately avowed, we shall

But the twelve tribes were independent of each other, God being their only governor; and when, on one occasion, they proposed to make war upon a refractory tribe, they were forbidden. Even under a king when a large number of the tribes rebelled, and the king assembled an army of 180,000 men to reduce the rebels to subjection, "The word of God came unto Shemaiah, the man of God, saying, Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel."--We are, therefore, unable to see anything in the Hebrew Constitution, or the administration thereof, which entitles the Sons of the Pilgrims to consider themselves the chosen people.

ew England to believe neither in God nor man, there still remains considerable disposition to patronise those books of Revelation known as the Old Testament. There is a traditional reverence for the Old Dispensation, handed down from the founders of New England, which still lingers in the bosom of the present generation. But for the heretical views of Slavery expressed in the book, it would now be second to no other work in popular estimation, except the philosophical productions of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which, being devoid of all mystery, and comprehensible by every understanding, must always have precedence of the Pentateuch and the Prophets. With all its drawbacks, however, the Old Testament is still the textbook of New England theology, and the sole source which the religion of that land claims as its fountain head. The New Testament is a book never much in vogue with Puritans or Pharisees. It has in it too much mercy, forbearance and charity. It is intolerant to nothing but
