of its dissolution and viii be ready 10 sdopt the pa
tristic sentiment Our Federal Union-it must be
preserved" To preserve it, the compromises which
alone enabled our fathers To form a snm@on Consti
tuition for the government and protection OF 20 many
States and distinct communities, Of such diversified
sacredly and religiousy observed Any attempt TO
disturb or destroy these compromises being terms Of
The compact Of mon, can lead to none other than
the most ruinous and disastrous conseq uences
1t is source Of deep regret that ia some sections
OF our country, misguided persons have occasionally
INDUCED in schemes aud sgitations whose object is
the destruction Of domestic institutions existing in
other sectons-inslitutions which existed at the
adoption of the constitution and recognised and
protected by it, All must that if Il were possible
for them to be successful in attaining their object the
dissolution of the Union aud the consequent destruc-
ton of our happy form of government, must speedily
follow.
am happy to believe that at every period of our
existence patton, there has existed aud contin
ues to exist, among the great mass Of our people,
devotion to the Union of the States which will
shield and protect against the moral treason of any
who would seriously contemplate its destruction. To
secure a continuance Of that devotion, the comprO-
mises OF the constitution must not only be preserved
but sectional ealousies and heartbuInings must be
discounienapced and all should remember that they
are members Of The same political family, having a
common destiny. TO increase the attachment of our
people TO the Union, our laws should be Just. ANY
policy which shall tend to favor monopolies, or tie
peculiar interests Of sections classes must operate
to the prejudice Of the interests of their feowcit
zens, and should be avoided. If the compromises
OF the constitution be preserved-if sectional ea-
lousies and heart burnings be discountenanced- If
our laws be just, and the government be practically
administered strictly within the limits of power pre-
scribed to tive may discard oil apprrhepsons for
the safety Of the Union.
