into nsighborhood and contact with the tssming pop
ulations Of Asia, and the immense island groups Of
oceanica tits the policy Of the democratic party that
has elevated the republic from the rank OF an nfenor
power to that Of the first class among the nations OF the
worlds and during the whole period i has preserved the
internal peace and tranquility Of the Union.
All these immense benefits and gories have been
achieved by thegreat democratic republican party OF the
nation That party has embraced the liberal and gener-
Gus OF every State whether slaveholdng non-slave-
holding II has been throughout guided by patriotism
and principle and it has had but impulse, from
the Aroostook to the Rio Grande. Its principles are
as potent in Texas and California in the colder and
more inhospabe regions OF New Hampshire and Maine
Wherever be found American ell ans imbued with
pure love of country devotion to liberty and attachment
to the great principles of popular government It binds and
cements them together Hence, ii the great
and bene6cent influences which it exerts the minds
of possessing congeniaty of principle and sentiment
interrupted this great and glorious Union has an
enduring guaranty Of perpetuy and success Let the ma
tonay of the democratic party be preserved, and the
Union itself will be preserved But let those ties which
now bind it together national party be severed and
then the Union will have lost Of its strongest guaan-
ties OF perpetual duration.
Feeling deeply the importance OF preserving the in
tegry and unity of the democratic party as the best
Of preserving the Union, we conure every patri-
otto and minded to stand by its national or
ganizaiion We will not attempt to disguise the fact
from our countrymen--we could not il we woud-that
there are causes, deeply seated and potent which men
ace the integrity, unity, and nationality OF all parties
These causes in active and fervid operation
They grow Of the questions connected with slavery
What their ultimate consequences may be, we cannot
oreseen nor predict That they will unless speedily and
happily removed, lead to great agitation and excitement
we do not doubt. That agitation and excitement will
be most fierce and intense here at the national capital
1t may break up party lines in Congress, temporarily at
least We trust that it may not be attended with any
such consequences but, in the present condition OF pub
lie sentiment at the capital, feel called upon to warn
our democratic friends here and elsewhere Of possible
events that may take place, and to advise them under all
circumstances to avoid unnecessary excitement We ad
wise democratic friends both in the North and South
not TO cultivate unknd sentiments towards each other,
nor indulge in language of hostile recrmnaton towards
each other which is the way to produce estrange
ment and division But on the contrary, hope
and we believe that the people OF all sections Of
the Union will conduct themselves in the present
crisis in our national affairs with calmness, dignity and
forbearance with the importance Of the
cason. Let neither the North the South think Of
breaking up their political or party relations with each
other Let mention be made Of sectional geograph
ca parties for, when they come, then the end OF
the Union, the subugaon Of portion OF it by the
sword, and the final prosration of the republic at the
feet Of military dictator.
We have faith in the guardian genius Of our beloved
country, and believe that the dark and angry cloud
which now hovers glorious Union will pass
away. We have faith in the patriotism and good sense
Of the American people; and cannot believe that they
eadyo sacrifice the splendid and magnificent desnies
IN prospect before them, angry and Incorporating
contention about slavery. We believe, when the dan
gers that really exist become apparent to them, that they
will, all sides and in all sections, cultivate spirit OF
Cancellation, concession and compromise In confede
racy composed Of sovereign and equal States, with such
diverse institutions and interests ours possess
parent the light at MONDAY that section cannot
have everything its way. II conflicting interests
exist, they must be settled by compromise. All must
concede little that the whole may be satisfied That the
great Of the American people will. on reflection,
adopt similar sentiments, should distrus their patriot
ism and good sense to doubt Therefore, we have an
abiding faith that all these matters OF contention, which
loom up goomily and portentousy before the
tion will be peaceaby and smcably adjusted And as one
Of the most potent and eectual Of bringing about
such an adjustment we invoke our friends in every Sec
ton of the Union to stand by the integrity and unity of
the great national democratic party.
