speech Of Daniel UIImann, Esq.

we snai puDnSn tO-morrOW Inc Dolu manly
and conservative speech Of Mr. Ullmann. IIi'
review of the Catholic question, and his proc
that the opposition of tho american Order L
the Papists is directed not against their rcl
gious faith, but against their higher law " al
legiance to a foreign potentate, are admirable
and conclusive. But in the present aspect O
things, we hail with delight the patriotic and
determined stand taken by Mr.. Ullmann fsl
the Constitution, tho Union, and the laws
against the traitors and disunionists Tho would
agitate for their notification or subversion
There at Troy, in tho heart Of New York, Mr..
Ullmann has denounced the Black Republic
cans and the Democratic Free-soilers. He puts
the Nashville Convention and the Fusion Con-
vention of the free States upon the same
ground. They were both disunion assemblies.
He says, wisely and significantly, the people
do not like Hartford Conventions"
We'wish particularly to mark the contrast
between Mr.. Ullmann and Mr.. Seward. The
first animated with sincere desire to concili-
ate and settle all sectional differences. The
other building his platform out of the wrecked
harmony and shattered affections Of the Union.
We are satisfied that the period Of reunion
amongst the National Americans approaches.
The Black Republicans do not propose to re-
peal the Nebraska law, nor restore the Nilsson
ri Compromi ,e They think they viii gain
more by the principle of Squatter Sovereignty,
and the unqualified admission Of aliens than
they have lost by the enactment Of the law.
They say, that under the Missouri Compromise
the South might have had some shadow OF
right TO demand admission of States erected
out Of territory south of tho line; but since
the repeal of the Compromise they must take
the consequence of their own principle Of Ter
ritorial Sovereignty, and Of Congressional
opposition to the admission Of any more slave
States. The Black Republicans then will not
alter the laws of last session. Who else can or
willP They must stand. Then the issue be-
tween parties is this Mr.. Seward heads a sec
tional party, which afiirns one issue to the
American people. The perpetual agitation Of
the slavery question, and the ayowed abolition
OF slavery everywhere. The American party
maintains the Union and the laws, inculcates
principles Of fraternity and peace, and resists
their antagonists as disunionists and traitors
Such is the position of Mr.. Ullmann, and all
other National Americans. We consider then
the sectional question, so far as it is involved
in the late legislation Of Congress- settled not
merely by its withdrawal Of the Kansas
Mormon question, but by the verdict of the
people Of Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, and
Indiana
With this withdrawal Of the only issue which
has divided the American party, what is to
prevent its immediate reunion upon the tacit
basis Of the law rs ii is, and down with trail
tors and disunionistsl" as proclaimed by Ull-
mnnns
The issue is thus simplifcd-we see our en-
envy. 1t is the colored cohorts Of Chase, Sc
ward, Wilson. Their object is to dissolve the
Union. Our object is to preserve it Theb
object is to carry the Alien and the Catholic,
against American citizens and their institu-
tons. Can the result Of this contest be doubt
f,lY
There arc thousands in the Black Republi-
Gun ranks whose only object was to repeal GER
tim acts Of Congress obnoxious to them. They
wished TO rebuke an intolerant and speculative
ADMINISTRATION. But, finding that they are
abroad for cruise against the peace and prop
erty OF a section; that their companions are
political pirates, they would gladly make {
landing at the first point that presents itself
They have been crimped and kidnapped upor
an unlawful enterprise, and would rather b,
nut ndrift with leaky boat and broken oar
than sail under the CHASTITY skull and cross
bones depicted upon tho Black Republican
banner
When these honest and deluded men come
out Of the disunion and fanatical crew with
which they have been casually associated, that
crew viii disband, its leaders will be given ur
10 Justice, and the ambitious men who would
have employed the unpopularity Of the admin
istration to overthrow the. Union will stink into
obscurity, as special monuments Of American
mercy, though guilty Of an inciyism which
would have set their heads upon the tower
gates Of any other government in Christendom
Again, we say, let the American party close
ranks for the Union and the law. Let then
protect the misguided thousands, cntrapped by
Chase and Wilson, from the fire or pursuit o
the disunionisis and traitors Let them fact
out to repel the very light infantry Of the adj
ministratiop, which having stirred up this sec
tional excitement by executing it's own true
soldiers without court martial, and bestowinf
bounty upon agitators and fanatics. This Il
the position OF the National Americans for tn,
Union and religious freedom, and against sgi
tation and disunion. "Closc raDksp "for
