The Daily Dispatch: August 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], Plain talk for the Lincolnites. (search)
, unless Lincoln turns square about, kicks over his present Cabinet, sets every negroite now in it afloat, reverses his policy, and submits to the decision of the Supreme Court. He must either do this or resign the Government. If neither, then the present effusion of blood is but an instalment of what is to come. Years of war will desolate our land, and misery fill our homes, all for the purpose of enabling the Abolition party to place their free negro construction upon the Constitution. When these men say that this war is for preserving the Constitution, they utter a falsehood as infamous as man can conceive of. If it was war for the principles our fathers contended for, it would be worth all that it might cost to triumph in it; but when it is a war upheld and instigated by such free negro traitors as Giddings, Chase, Sumner, Isoveioy, &c., &c., it is no less than sacrilege to mention it in the same breath with the glorious Constitution of Washington, Jefferson and Madison.

"Treason" in the Capitol--Mr. Breckinridge and the Abolitionists. Washington, August 3. --In the Senate, on yesterday, Mr. Breckinridge in the course of some remarks said that the responsibility for the slaughter near Manassas was upon the Government, and further that we were hurling brave fellows into death for principles which three-fourths of them abhorred. Mr. Baker replied that Mr. Breckinridge's appeals were made only to animate our enemies. Were not, he said, the words of the Kentucky Senator words of brilliantly polished treason uttered in the Capitol? Mr. Sumner interrupted Mr. Baker and asked, what would have been done with a Roman Senator similarly conducting himself? Mr. Baker replied, (in a subdued tone,) he would have been hurled from the Tarpean Rock.
