From the Quincy Herald Of Nov 49,
The Democratic Party tho true Union
Party-an other Parties Disunionists.
1t can no longer be disguised that the integ.
rity and stability of this Union can be preserved
and perpetuated only by the continued success
and triumph of the Democratic party. It is
strange, contemporary remarks, and an un-
natural spectacle to see portion of the Anne
rican people uniting together for the purpose
OF disuniting their country. 1t is bitter COM
mentary upon the tolls and suferings and sac
rihces OF the fathers of the republic to see edu
Gated and influential leaders appealing to the
people OF one section TO combine against their
brothers of another section. 1t is mournful
lesson to the youth of the present generation
to observe the pertinacity and perseverance of
certain theoretical statesmen who seek to ex-
tract from the very chart and soul of our polit
ical Liberties the poison which is most efectual-
ly destroy those liberties. We are reminded
by the daily exhibition of some one of these
elements, that there is now in existence in this
country party which sustains itself alone up
on the idea of disunion. If such party were
not now openly organizing in the free States,
the Democratic party would not have single
opponent, and, accordingly, our free institu-
tons would be sustained by the willing hands
OF our whole people. We care not what the
pretext for this anti American organization
may be- 1T contemplates the fatal end of divi-
sion and of dissolution. The means it EMPLOYS
are as revolving as the end to which it is ener-
getically working. Foreign newspapers, for
eign books, foreign emissaries and foreign
money, are fagrantly enlisted in the warfare of
abolitionism upon the South; and thus the cru
SADIE has gone on from year to year, with vary.
ing success, until at last it presents the for
midable front which we now behold; until it
unfurls its standard, inscribed with hostility to
the admission of any more new States unless
those States assert in their constitution doc
trines acceptable to the leaders of fanaticism
IN the North-in other words, unless the con-
situations OF those States ignore the right of
the people to manage their own affairs in their
own way. But if the party to which we have
referred is based upon the idea of DESTROYING
the Constitution and of dissolving the Union
II this party calmly contemplates, and openly
lsbors to bring about the overthrow of free in
situations as the only organization-we hail
the existence OF an other party which bases its
creed upon the ennobling sentiments of
pnion OF the people and union of the States.
We rejoice to see opposed to the coalition
which rallies its adherents together with the
bsttle-cry of anarchy and Of confusion, an or
ganization which at the same time binds it's
followers to its cause and seeks to strengthen
and to extend the 1igaments which bind to-
gether this brotherhood of nationaliiies and of
States Which will the American patriot
choose? Will he join the ranks of those who
cohere only that they may repel into fatal con-
fusion the principles which compose our politi-
cal system, or will he attach himself to those
who unite for the purpose Of union, who COM
bine for the purpose of patriotic cooperation
in support Of the Constitution, who entertain
no object of disunion, but whose whole ambi.
ton is to extinguish the embers of discord, to
blot out geographical lines, to annihilate the
distinctions between the North and South; and
BY means Of sympathy of doctrines and COM
munity Of interests, and the ccrdiality result.
ing from constant personal intercourse, to
build up on these shores solid and impregna-
BILE bulwark against the oppressors of the
earth?
