N. llowell, Pen Argil, l'n, (meaning slave3) without being intcr ferred with by congressional action- The election of 1860 resulted in a victory for the republican party, whose candidates, Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, ran upon a platform denouncing "threats of dis union," and saying that ' the new dog ma, that the constitution, of its own force, carries slavery Into any or all of the territories of the United States," was a "dangerous political heresy." The platform did not call for the abolition of slavery in the ,states whore it existed, but asserted "that the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom; that as our republican fathers, when they had abolished slav ery in all our national territory, or dained that 'no person shall be de prived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law,' It be comes our duty by legislation, when ever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision of the con stitution agalnot all attempts to io late it; and we deny the authority of congress, of a territorial legislature, or any individuals, to give legal e.v l&tence to slavery in any territory of the United States." Lincoln received a popular plurality of over D00,000, and a plurality of 10b L in jtlie electoral college. Douglus came second in the .popular vote, but fell "behind both the Breckinridge ticket and Bell and Everett ticket in the electoral college. This was due to the fact that the Douglas vote wa3 largely in the states which Lincoln carried. In the war I ctween the states the supporters of Douglas enlisted side by side with the supporters, of Lincoln, Douglas himself having urged the biii: l.ort of Lincoln in the war for the maintenance of the Union. During the war, however, many thlngo wore aone which aroused crijtlcism from the democratic leaders, n.nd by the democrats' generally. Among the things complained of were arrests and courts-martial in states not in insurrection, and where the civil au thority was undisturbed. The democrotic platform of 1SG4 announced "unswerving fldeMty to the Union under the constitution, as the only solid foundation of our strength, security and happiness as a people, and as a framework of government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the states, both northern and southern; ' and then de clared: "As the sense of- the American peo ple, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the' experiment of war, during which, under the pre tense of a military necessity of a war power higher than the constitution, the constitution itself ha? been disre garded in every part and public lib erty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, jus tice, humanity, liberty, and the pub lic welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hos tilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of all the states or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the federal union of all the states." Gen. George B. McClellan of New Jersey was nominated by the demo cratic party for president and Geoige H. Pendleton of Ohio lor vice presi dent. The election resulted in a pop ular majority of 408,000 for the re publican ticket, and in an electoial majority of 191 Kentucky, New Jer sey and Delaware being the only three of the 24 states giving thel electoial vote to the democratic ticket. It will be seen that the republican plurality was less than it was in 18fi0. The assassination of Abraham Lin coln and the inauguration of Vice President Andrew Johnson (q.v) as president precipitated a struggle in which most of the republican senators and members of congress wcro ar rayed against the president. The democrats took tho sldo of the pitbi dent, and with tho aid of a few re publicans prevented the adoptlou of the articles of impeachment presented by the house. During tho reconstruction period that followed, tho Jemocrats insisted that the states which were held lu the Union should bo given the rights and privileges of other states. The campaign of 18G8 was fought under the leadership of Horatio Sey mour of Now York and Francis I. Elair of Missouri, and the platl'oim demanded: "1. Immediate restoration of all the states to their rights In the Union under the constitution, nnd of civil government to tho American people. "2. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and the regulation of tho elective franchise In Uie states by their citizens. "3. Payment of all the public debt of tho United States as re Idl as practicable all money drawn Horn the people by taxation, expert ro much as is requisite for tho ncceslttof, or tho government, economically admin istered, being honestly applied to milIi payment; and when the obligations of tho government do not expressly state upon their face, or the law un der which they woro isauea docs not provide that they shrill he paid in coin, they ought, In right and jtihticn, to bo paid In the lawful money oi the United States. "4. Equal taxation of every species of property according to Ito real val ue, Including government "oiids ai.d other public securities. "5. One currency for the govern ment and the people, the lanorer and the office-holder, the pensioner, ann the soldier, tho producer and tho bondholder. "G. Economy in the numlnibtra tion of the government; the mluctlcn of the standing army ind navy; llir abolition of the freedman's buieau and all political instrumentalities de signed to secure negro tupremacy; simplification of the system and dis continuance of Inquisitorial modes or assessing and collecting internal rev enue; that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, and the credit of the government and the currency made good; the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the btate militia into national forces in turns of peace; and a tariff for revenue ujou foreign imports, and such equal taxa tion under tho Internal-revenue lawb as will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, Im pose the least burden upon, and best promote and encourage the great in dustrial Interests of the county. "7. Reform of abuses in the ad ministration; the expulsion of corrupt men from office; the abrogation of useless offices; and the -estoration of rightful authority to, and the inde pendence of, the executive and judi cial departments of the government; the subordination of the military to tho civil power, to the end that the usurpations of congress and the des potism of the sword may cease. "8. Equal rights and protection lor naturalized and native-born citizens, at home and abroad; the assertion of American nationality which shall command the respect of foreign pow ers, and furnish an example and en couragement to people struggling Tor national integrity, constitutional lib erty, and individual rights; and the maintenance of the rights of natur alized citizens against the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and tho claims of foreign powers to pun-, ish them for alleged crimes commit ted beyond their jurjsdiction." Besides this statement of the posi tion of tho parties, the platform ar raigned the republican party for its reconstruction policy, charging that instead of restoring tho Union it had Km IWI wt I Ba EL CREAM SEPARATOR km m - ry.
