MEssRs. EDIroRs Upon the deliberations Of the
next Congress depend, perhaps, ourvery existence
as nation. The grand battle between The Con-
sentative men of the land, on the one part, and
the Aboltionists OH the other, is to be fought in
the Capitol of the nation, during the next twelve
months. Whether or not treason is to walk
abroad, untrammeled, almost In sight of the
tomb Of Washington, or constitutional Conserva-
tism is to triumph, remains yet TO be seen. No
lover Of his country can for moment contemplate
the coming storm, without feelings Of the most
anxious solicitude for his country. The question
which most naturally occurs Is can this danger be
avoided We ourselves think il can. We believe
that there is spirit of Conservatism at the North
that will override all sectional feeling and that
patriots viii be found from that portion Of the
Union, who will not desert the ship Of liberty in
the dark hour Of its night and danger. We say
we believe that when the period shall come, and
come 1t must, when mad fanaticism shall strike
her blow at the Constitution and Statesrights that
there viii be found many men from the North, in
the House, who will be proud to initiate the ex-
ample of one of their most lamented and dstin-
guished colleagues from the State Of New York,
who, lately writing to friend speaks in the follow
ing bold, national and fearless manners
g To my mind, present events tend to the cstab-
lshment Of sympathy between the Conservative
National men of all parties as the best ii not the
only guarantee of Union and State sovereignty.
The sectional spirit Of the North and the Disunion
sentiment Of portion Of the South are alike re-
pulsiye to true patriotism, and should be met and
confronted with the united and infexible condem.
nation of all true friends of country, by every
lover Of its institutions, which, from the adoption
of the Federal Constitution to the present mo.
ment, lave secured us in the enjoyment Of civil
and religious liberty" Aa
In reference to the late glorious result in New
York, he speaks as follows /:
e You see, by the late elections, that New York
repudiates Seward, and even Massachusetts
purged Of hor detnagognss, yspudiates Wilson
What more does the South require from the people
of those States? They have shown themselves
loyal to the Constitution and the Union.a " a
View III say plainly to our Northern friends, mcel
US in the spirit Of the above, and wewl cordially
unite with you and looking only to thegood ofour
country, and the perpetuty Of its institutions, viii
strike down the fell spirit Of Fanaticism North
and Seressionism South; and SO direct our course
as to secure the applause of the people, and adj
vance and promote the common glory ofour great
country Let those, then, who love their country
better than their party, meet their Southern breth
rensin council on the 2sth Of November, or LIST Of
December, and take such measures as win tend to
uphold the Constitution; and at the. same time,
strike decisive blow at the heart Of fanaticisn
