the purpose Of attempting what no other party
could effect the maintenance Of the law, and
the settlement Of all sectional strife. In this
work Of patriotism and peace they have been
exposed to the fire of all who are ayerse to any
compromise. The storm Of obloqly win
which they were assailed by the official party
of Virginia, was only equalled by the fierce de-
nunciation Of the Abolitionists Of the North
The election Of Seward was hailed as Demo
cratic triumph, whilst the organs of abolition
went into ecstacies at the success OF Mr.. Wise.
Enemies- united with cordial de-
light in celebrating the disappointment of a
party that opposed the higher law Of the Pope.
The elevation of the foreigner-unfit for self
government ia his own country-to political
equality with and party preference over
American citizens. This party sought to Guilt
vate in the hearts of their countrymen love
of the Union, an admiration of its flag, and
spirit of fraternity which would extinguish all
sectional animosity, and render our compact
equal and therefore eternal.
Such is the people we have described, to
show the motives and the spirit which will
como to the aid of the Union in this crisis;
which will forget all animosities, surrender all
prejudices, and make any sacrifce--save that
of honor-to maintain the peace and perpetui-
ty Of our Institutions. We have described
them, that our contemporaries may keep their
eye upon them, as fair specimens Of the true
South, So long as such people stand by the
national flag, we may be sure it is safe and I'M
spotted. So soon as theaggressions the sec
tional enemies of the Union, and of the South,
shall drive such people to Withdraw their
patriotic interposition, and fall into the ranks
of Southern party, the sun of this National
Experiment will have set in gloom, if not in
blood, and the last friend Of the Union will have
no alternative save to draw his sword against
its enemies and his own.
It will be seen that this invitation likewise
includes citizens of all other States. We hope
they will accept it. We should like to see the
Conservatives of the Union represented there.
The great cities of New York and Philadelphia,
should send to see if nothing more, the pros
porous and energetic people, who are reversing
the current of the lower Mississippi, and caus-
ing the products of its mighty valley to be
poured out by the Atlantic ports ofChareston,
Savannah Norfolk, and Richmond. They will
there meet those sturdy farmers and planters
whose crops and sterling bills gladden. the heart
of their importing merchants and mechanics.
They will there see the interior merchants who
pay fair profits, and are punctual and perma-
nent customers They will see, in one word,
country and people with whom it is no dis
honor to be friends, and no particular amuse-
ment to be at enmity. We should be glad to
see Boston, and Lynn, and Lowell, send dele
CATION; but we presume that those pious cities
have made up their minds to give up the in
quities of selling goods to people South OF
particular line, and throw themselves upon the
patronage of Queen Victoria. They prefer an
alliance with monarchy, an established re-
ligion, patented nobility, and standing
army to further association with people
that, under Washington came to Boston and
kept the British from overrunning the country,
and that too, when they had scarcely round Of
| ammunition in their camp. They are too
pure to participate in this Council for compos-
ing our sectional strife, and perpetuating an
equal Union. We must dispense with their
presence.
