homes of success, in Virginia Maryland Kentucky and

Nave succeeded in establishing gradual system of eman-

sectional party with the avowed object Of making fierce

the sections to which they belonged When II became
warfare of section against section, producing struggle
for political power, with the threat that as soon as
the abotons,s obtained the preponderance of power it
would be exercised for the purpose of stirring up

their BIRTH and around the graves OF their fathers they
felt themselves compelled by the strong instinct of self
preservaton and by all those holy impulses which den
lied them with their brethren OF the southern Sates to
make common in resisting violent and unconstn-
iona aggression from without, and wait until that
accomplished before they should allow themselves to be
divided home in efforts to correct remove what some
of them esteemed domestic evil Each year that this north
eu agitation has continued and in proportion its
power and violence have increased the people of those
States have become united and determined to main
tain their rights under the constitution and TO resist and
repeal aggression from whatever quarter and at whatever
hazard And If be permitted to Judge Of the future
from the history of the past there is hope that the con-

tiona strife continues [appause I; nor till the people
OF the North well the South shall recognise and by
their whole actions acknowledge the right of the people
Of each State and Territory preparatory TO admission into
question of internal policy for themselves, without in
reference of the federal government any other earthly
power. Why should this sectional strife be continued?
What good result from ii either to the North or
