That is the fusion seiesmans remedy TO save the Union
and that Is civil war And the farmers mechanics and

If You 6ght and daily sacrifice heeatoabs of white in
the cause of negro freedom have you abolished slavery
Not uness the white Of the South extermina,ed
But suppose there is fighting and the separation is
peaceful what hen7 The best have OF it will be
northern republic which viii permit no slave State to
Join IT, and southern republic which erery State and
Territory that holds desires have domestic slavery
viii join And this southern republic and these
slave States will keep and hold their slaves with strong
or hand than and in the end the northern republic
must either ght the southern make treaty deliver

From these futile and terrible issues Of blood dismem
beruent and national degradation those who love their
whole country, those who Amrieas indeed, can turn
only to the democratic doctrine of selfgovernment and
nonnterveution the constitution it is and the Union
as it was before aboltonism disturbed IT,
And where the standard Of the Union around which
they can rally The vhg party the South is lost by
this ncessant of the North upon their domestic ns
tutons The knownothing party at the North is but
new name for an-slavery, with idea added 1t
is party with just tro deas-vz to free the blacks and
to make wte srpe Of AL emgrans and forsign-born
No party but the democratic party has national existence
or can hold a national convention without disruption
That party says the North keep all your rights under
the constitution II says The South keep all your rights
under the constitution 1t holds North South and West
in the common bond OF union, alike sacred to ~.
says 10 the people of every Territory regulate your
domestic concerns frame your constitution and
into the Union when you have the requisite popua-
toa with all tie rights Of sovereignty which each Staff
now enjoys.
says to all parties put an end this slavery agita-
ton and give for enlarged legislation for the whole
country and for its advancement in the manifest destiny
that lies before il.
says to each State improve the condition Of your
people, and n;ermeddle with the Of other
States or Territories.
1t says to anti-sayery in all its forms Of fusion and
confusion you have tried bitterness and strife and denun-
citation long enough to their nbeciy advance the
Of freedom of the coloed Return TO the
saonal compact and the Christian temper Of our fathers
who made il and it indeed you love the slave, try the
genial influences of kindness broihery love- and true phi
anshropy, and cooperate will the South in their youn-
tary efforts to meora.e the condition of the slave labor
which is their inheritance
In this spirit appeal to the democracy Of the whole
country the Union of the North TO the Christian
people Of the North who have not lost their love of
try in bigory foreigners and hatred the South Let
take of ourselves and States and in
termeddng with the domestic of others Let
begin the work Of redeeming Massachusetts, by the
party cry Of repeal Of the Nebraska bl which cannot he
repealed and would effect nothing good lift could be
pealed but by restoring the fundamental principle Of our
Union which leaves every State sovereign except in the
grants made to the Union by The constitution
Elect 10 Office who, when they take the oath to
support the constitution of Massachusetts, viii respect the
bill Of rights which prohibits sumptuary laws and cruel
and unusual punhments to destroy the property and per-

Of law and order the sacred regard for religious liberty
which have hitherto given her and praise among
her sister States where she stands dshonored By big

party in this good old Commonwealth which can claim
brotherhood with national democratic party in every
other State of the Union and whether shall be here in
majority or in minority we shall stand with and in
