If crisis in national history has come, they the
wicked agitators and demagogues who have brought
| it on.
| And now, in view Of the impending danger which
they have themselves Produced they attempt TO divert
public attention from the enomiy OF their conduct and
shelter themselves from the ndgnation and fury OF the
people, BY crying out Union -"Unionl" They after
committing such shameful frauds upon the people, and
bringing the country into peril, with a hypocrisy as
brazen and mpudent their conduct has been nagtous
and criminal pretend be The only true friends OF the
Union General Taylor who has permitted himself TO
be thus base used by demagogues that both he and they
might get into Office and power, pretends be the great
conservator Of the Union; and doubtless Toombs and
Stephens notwithstanding their recent phpics against

great and glorious Union from the dangers that beset it
That duty is the duty Of the great democratic republican
party Of the nation II is that party which has ever saved
the Union. Il is that party whose principles lie at its
foundation. Those principles influenced the formation OF
the constitution And that party preserved the Union when
i was menaced by the Henry plot in 1907 and again by
the moral traitors Of Massachusetts and New England
when assembled in reasonable conclave at Hart
ford, in Isl4. 1t has always saved the Union from
danger, internal and external II defended the Union
against foreign enemy in the last war with England
and it asserted the rights and honor of the Union in the

against the btterest opposition Of FEDERALISM now in
power sovereign States to the Unon and do
main enough for thirty Il has, by its policy and
its prowess raised it the first rank OF the nations Of
the earth
The perpetuy, the glory, and the progress OF the
Union depend upon the great democratic republican party
OF the nation Lehat be dsorganzed and dissolved and
the strongest gaments Of the Union will have been re
asnnder. Therefore, we again invoke, we did few
days since, democratic friends in and out OF Con.
gress, to cultivate spirit OF concatien concession and
harmony Let act be done either side, nor by any
individual weaken the ties which bind together the
democracy of all parts Of the Union; and invoke
again the great democratic people who form the constu
ences of the nation TO guard with watchful the in
tegry Of the national democratic party Preserve its
ganizaton adhere faithfully to its customs and usages
support its nominations, made in its usual and ordinary
modes; treat every enemy who will not abide
by lis organization and usages. In this way will the
unity and integrity Of the democratic party be maintained
and the Union itself preserved The preservation Of the
rights Of the States and the Union with all the power
gores and splendors which destiny has in store for it,
the mission OF the democratic party and not of the party
of treacherous demagogues whose have twice
openly plotted against the Union and whose criminal
acts have again brought il into danger
