as the New York Democrats have pronoun-
ced it, encountered by an opposition APP
preaching to unanimity. / should like TO
see it shamed out Of sight, for at least our
day. Why, the wisdom and patriotism of
the better South disowns it See how the
old glorious North Carolina has gone into
action, and how she come out of it Hank
to the thunder that announces the risen and
triumphant Kentucky Is this a day for
New England to be inactive, or to be dis
tractedl Do you need to be told, what |
love not to swell or touch upon, that if the
designs of some Of those who would annex
Texas would be accomplished if they
could succeed in turning Texas to account
which they dream of; if, by that aid, they
could subvert your industrial policy could
retransfer your workshops to Europe could
prevent the industry of America from doing
the work of America; could suspend these
diversified employments, which develop, dis
cipline, occupy and reward the universal
faculties of this community; which give to
every taste and talent the task best suited TO
it; which give occupation to the strong and
weak the brigh; and the dull to both
sexes aud to all ages, and at all tmes-in
winter and summer; in wet weather and in
dry weather; by daylight and amp-light
to all and each--"a fair days wages for
fair days work"-if they could strike down
the giant arm OF Labor bel pless to his side
if the politics which you are this day on the
field to resist, could triumph-do you not
know-that even if the union we're preserv-
ed, New England would be cast into pro-
vnciaI, into parochal insigni6cance; aye,
that this New England, the New England
that we love; the New England of our IA
theirs and of history; that the places which
once knew this New England, would know
her no more Having a form TO live, she
would be dead Having form of consti-
tutiona life, the strong soaring and beauti-
full spirit would have departed. IF the un-
ion were preserved; if the great Constella-
ton still held on its journey in the skN
these once jubilant stars Of the morning
would be silent and dim.
But would rather show you loltier mo-
tive than any impulse of local interest, or
local affections, or local pride. tell you,
fellow-citizens Of all parties, here and every
where, that if you love the Union as once
you did, out Of pure heart, ferventy i'll
neither the small gasconades of nulli6ers,
nor the gloomy rawlings of fanatics have
chilled that sweet, cherished and hereditary
sentiment; if you yet love to turn away
from the croaker who predicts, the hypocrite
who desires, the bully who threatens, the
arithmetician who computes, the traitor who
plots, the dissolution of the Union If you
love, turning from these, TO go and erect
and refresh your spirits by bordering the
farewell connsels of Washington, by draw
ing from that capacious national heart, by
retracing that illustrious life, by hanging a.
gain with filial and reverent fondness on the
features now radiant with the hues, on the
form clothed in the robes, of immortality I;
if you, whoever you are, wherever you are,
| whatever you are-are for the Union against
every body,--for the Union with any body,
for the Union first, last, always-then
stand by us, and we will stand by you-this
once This oncel Another time, on 9TH
er subjects, we can quarrel, but not now
not now, when the legions throng up TO the
very walls of the city of David, and the en-
gines thunder at its gate. Another time
we can sleep on and take our rest, bot not

Awake, arise, or be forever falIenl
