We frankly express our dissent from one position
which the Bulletin states in relation to the value which
the South attaches to the Union We utterly dsclaim
the idea OF any plotany conspracy-any design Of es
tablishng southern conedeacy-any settled purpose OF
dssolvng the union of the States We know that this
phantom is hedup TO from their propriey and
to defeat the accomplishment Of fair and proper CON-
promise Thisis what we verify believe the South de-
sires. We have not yet met with single man who is
dsunonst for dsunions sake The fear s, lest the en-
element and the danger should increase. We agree
with the Bulletin that the Union is in danger II
may be saved, and eerveny hope will be saved as our
forefathe saved il, by Cancellation and compromise Let
there be no passions excitedno volence-no menace
no attempt to intmidaeno pride insulted but let every
good and true patriot unite in devisng the best means OF
settling the whole question in all its rami6cations NOW

vailed on the occasion the Tribune, evidently with great
chagn. gives the following sentiment. which pro-
pounded and drank by the united assernblage:
The National Democratic Party Sustaining political
principles which do depend upon local geographical
issss, but embrace the whole country, IL constitutes
bond Of Union between tho States and will
prove the palladium Of safety in the present crisis Of
our national affairs.
This toast mbodies sentiment which we trust will
find response in the hearts OF the united democracy Of
the whole Union II is to the national democratic party
without local or geographical issues that the country to

safety of the Union. The democrats Of Oneida have
