The members of The Saratoga Coavent'oa have
nothing TO "a al every tn ny TO lose the

They can only enjoy prosperity when the couo-
try IT, at peace. Yet 81 wondrous is his cum
ming and 80 blind their devotion, that these are
the Y ~ men who undertake to achieve his tri-
UNI, n the expense Of their own ruin.
That the Saratoga convention is drawing us
one step nearer to q revolution, none Can affect
to deny. The fundamental principle on which
the new Northern party rests is la direct an.
taeopiem to the letter and spirit of the consti-
tuition BY that char err Of our liberties new
States and Territories are authorized to desig-
nate and select their own Institutions, IRE
other members of the confederacy. The
sew Seward faction seeks to deprive them
ot This privilege, and to usurp for the
general government the right of choosing in-
stitutions for each and every new Territory or
State which shall hereafter be organized or ad-
mit,ed 10 the Union. Neither III. constitution
nor any fundamental law OF this republic con-
isins any warrant for such stretch Of federa al
authority. Until q few years back, the p'int
was Q early understood by al parties In all
sections of the country. The North had dis
cayded, N South has preserved slavery; and
the fact had generate q dislike to the system
IN the On, snd corresponding attachment to
IL in the other. To prevent the clash Of these
antagOnistic sentiments, it was clearly, uader-
stosd on sll bands that new States and new
Territories should choose for themselves be-
w. en- the iw0rivai systems Under the ope
ration Of this safe rule, nearly half the present
'.pablic has been added to the Union; until
recently without mumur or dissent Nov,
The plan which has served us 80 long and so
~ell,is to be discarded. The wise fairness OF
the constitution is TO be abandoned these new

atrain this end, thu tights If new citizens and
the privileges Of the Southern States must be

down the fence which protects State rights. It
