d
the appreciation, and entire approba-
ton, of all the wings of the Middle and
Northern States. Suppose now that
all of us who are wings should go and
join the free-soil party, what would be
the result, Why, ofar, nothing would
happen but that the whig party would
have changed its name. That would
be all. Instead of being the whig par
ty, it would be the free-soil party. We
should be all there, exactly upon the
same principles upon which we have al
ways stood !"
From such men, we can never hope
for allies to preserve the constitutional
rights of the South.
In the great States of New York and
Ohio, in Massachusetts and Wisconsin,
and most of the New England States :
the Democratic party cannot be relied
upon, though even in ff.ose States, they
are far more fayorable US than the
Wing party. The Democratic party
or the majority oft, in the States of
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Indi-
! ana, Illinois and Iowa, are true and re-
liable. The united South, co-opera-
ting with the democrats of these States,
may yet hope to save the. South from
further aggressions, and reform the abu-
ses and corruptions of the Government,
ecoromize its expenses and conine it,
by a due observance of a strict and
rigid construction of the Constitution,
in its action, to its few legitimate OBJ
jects of attending to our external rela-
tions, with the least possible interference
with the States or their domestic affairs.
| We must, with united voice, strength
Ell the hands of such patriots as Buch-
anan, Dallas, Stockton, Dickinson,
Bright, Douglass, and the younger
Dodge, to overcome such men as insist
on adherlng to the party, but who are
unworthy of it; as Chase, Wiimot.
King, Walker, Cleaveland and Ran
toul.
Will any democrat, who is one al
heart, now give aid and comfort 10 his
political enemies; and thus give them
strength at future time to strike us
down! Has any one become so embit-
tered and alienated from his old friends
that he would now prefer the triumph
of those with whom he has so long wa
ged violent contest, and in whose po
litical principles or honesty, he has nt
confidence! If such there be, go mari
him well; and you will find that ht
goes out from Us, because he is not O
us.
While we believe that the South ha'
been wronged in the late measures o
Congress-while we believe that az
gressions have been committed upor
us; that the citizens of the North, hav,
thrown obstacles in the way of the
quiet enjoyment of our constitutional
rights, and have unwarrantably ly inter
fered with our domestic institutions
both in and out of Congress, yet, we
acguiesce in the decision of our State
and for the sake of having union al
home and giving strength and mora
force to our 5 tate, abroad, we assume
the ground, with the mass of our peo
pie, thatviolations of our rights may oc.
cur, which will amount to intolerabie
oppression.
We believe that the Democratic par.
ty, alone, can be relied upon to WARD
off those measures so obnoxious to u,
all, and to preserve our institutions in
their purity. Then, let our rallyine
cry now be. the union Of the Democracy
for tie sake of the Constitution and th,
Union Of the States. Let us stand
fast and struggle on for our ancient
faith and ancient organization, and q
jealous cooperation with the SOUND
portions of ourold allies of the North
