Had two neighbors disagreed and re-
ierred their respective claims to arbi-
traitors, does The loser forfeit dignity by
acknowledging the award, and renew
ling business on the basis thereof
These homely Illustrations point to the
view we take of the present duties Of
all patriots in this government. The
original compacts OF the constitution
established the terms of this coniedera-
| cy, and constitute the organic law of
government After series OF wears
sectional disputes arose, and tile Mis-
souri, compromise was made to quiet
controversy relating to certain govern
mental powers and constitutional ques-
tions.
1t vas faithfully executed by the T.
Inited States, and submitted to by the
people of the slaveho!ding States. After
another series Of years new acquisitions
of territory were made-new disputes
arose touching the same powers and
the same questions. A new compro-
mise was made, whereby the balance
of power was yielded By the slavehold-
ing States, and the reins of empire were
delivered up to the free States by the
admission of California into the Union.
The slave trade was suppressed in the
District Of Columbia, territorial gov
ernments were created over the whole
public domain, and an act was passed
to enforce the delivery Of lugitives from
labor. This settlement being made,
has the South murmured at The law
Isuppressing the slave trade in this Dis
tric!! Look upon the opposite picture.
Reply 10 your own hearts, how has the
law for the delivery of fugitive Slaves
been executed We ask merely taat
the whig party shall not 60 behind This
last setIlement-tha it shall national
ize itseH, by taking f"c, and true 20
sition upon the finali;y OF this settle
ment, and shall held its members bound
without regard TO former opinions, 10
maintain and enforce this settlement
in good faith and honesty. To this end
we did desire the declaration to this
effect to come from the distinguished
gentlemen who assembled in the Capt.
tol, under the hope that the country
would enthusiastically respond TO it
We have been disappointed in the real
ization of our wish, and, because OF the
: effort, we have been arrsigned by an
onymous employees of the press, land
our motives impuned by political lead
ers athwart whose policy lies our own
course, and, as we esoiemnly believe, the
: true direction for the public good
What would be the effect of a refusal
to endorse the position we have as
sumed! What will be the result of
failure to respond to the principle we
: have asserted Neither more nor less
than the ing glorious and deserved defeat
of the whig candidate for the presiden-
cy, because the platform of the party
will be too narrow for the patriotism oil
the people. They viii demand one as
the broad as the interests OF the whole
Union.
Should both of the great political
parties fail to shape future party orga-
nization upon the enlarged and fair
principle TO which we invited the whig
meeting at the Capitol on the Goth
instant, there remains but one resort.
: The people will demand such an orga-
: nization at the expense of existing par
: ties, and it will triumph over both, or,
E misled by political leaders, whose per-
t sonal ambition rises above their love
: of country, they will become involved
0 in canvass conducted by Candidates
: whose parasites will pander TO section
q al prejudices, and will seek political
|. preferment by arousing sectional pas
It sions. The next Congress, in that case,
i will be composed of men OF all parties.
/ pledged to renew the agitation of queS-
t tions which the 3Ist Congress closed
0 with SO much difficulty. The reSult of
i such a struggle human foresight cannot
o compass. We have believed that in
: telligent craftsmanship, by timely ac-
y ton and patriotic effort, could avoid the
g trial and The catastrophe. We made
S an honest effort TO point the way
S We have now explained our motive
h and our conduct, and we confidently
e submit them TO your judgement.
The events of the congressional
4 meeting of the Doth are of significant
: import. Ii does not become the IN
? dersigned to suggest your course il
L view of them. Our object is accom-
{ pliShed ~ inviting them to your iin-

e are, that they will awaken yourserious

as may be demanded by the duties to
