OF unparalleled stupidity or unbIushing
baseuess. Preserve the Union, if you can
appeal to the great Democratic party
though shattered and confounded and be-
trayed, embrace large majority of the
people, almost the whole Conservative
class, almost all OF every sound class, OPP
posed only BY manufacturing capitalists,
and their defenders, abolitionisIs and their
deluded followers and The tadherenlsfof
personal cabals and unpriucipledl factions.
Let them unite in "a long pull, a strong
pull and pull rogeher'' and the UDion
will be not only safe but purified: Bui il
they will not neither the preservation of
the Union nor any other consideration un.
der Heaven should induce you tocop,inue
your submission to the spolialion, ignumi-
ny and danger of which under the abuses
ofthe Constitution, you are now subject.
This language may be new and strong,
but il is not the Language of violence.
There is a wide difference between ear
nestness and decision aud violence. The
las, is folly and weakness, the first is the
sublimation ofiru,h and sober reason l
warn you, that anything short ofwhat this
language intimales will be lrihins with the
subject. Do mol deceive yourselves by
surprising that the only struggle before
you. or the greatest is that ofihe Tariff.
That of Abolition is at hand chow near
we cannot distinctly see) and Of ten times
the importance and danger. The Adolf.
tonits aim directly at your destruction and
indirectly at the subversion Of the Union.
That neither our destruction, nor The mi
sery and dissolution Of the Race they pre-
tend 10 save, much less the preservation
Of the Union, will restrain them in their
endeavors 10 establish their principles, is
but too clear. Theirs is not a. work of
love but Of hate. They hate you.4more
than they love the African Race. But
what mean 10 say is that they aim at
speedy and abolition, and to force it upon:
you. Now, is there any sober man Of
common sense in The nation, who can be-
lieve if they advance one step further bul
that The Union must be dissolved. They
cannot advance one step further without
entering your territories and controlling
your laws. This think will appearby
stating the advances they have already
made They have not indeed actually
exchanged credentials and entered into a
Treaty in diplomatic form. with Foreign
nations, buI they are most directly co ope-
rating With Foreign associations and, at
least, one great Foreign Government,
all pledged to universal emancipation.
The proofs are among Others lst. The
