rights, or upon a Northern mans rights?-
Our motto is "The Constitution as it is-the
Union as it was made, as it now is and as it
shall be in the fture;n end these are the princi-
pies endorsed in the platform of the Cincinnati
Convention. All men who believe in the in
tegrity of the Constitution and the perpetuity
of the Union are asked to rally under these
principles, which are essential to the preserva.
tion of either. Can any sectional party anima-
ted with sectional preudices, safely be entrusted
with the preservation of this Union? Has any
other party sloughed off its isms, and received
reformed, regenerated and purified principles;
which insure the preservation of this Union,
like the democratic party? Has any other party
such claims to Nationality? What other party
has assurance enough to cross either the Poto-
mac or Ohio, and carry their principles foremost
on their banners? and yet you are asked to
trust party whose sole aim is dssension in

friends these principles, these issues are all in.
volved in the present election. Never had an
American so much to animate his soul and in
spire his patriotism as in this contest With a
platform that is ''ouT' own, expressing "our''
principles, cherishing and sustaining all 'our''
ceilings and desircs-principles which insure
peace and domestic tranquility at home, and
whose policy, if carried out, will command re-
spect and honor abroad-with compact so for

heads, dare to stain the private character OF
either? With Buchanan as our leader, and
gallant young Breckenridge second in command
we have a representative which commands the
respect Of the entire country. Believe not that
in supinencs we can achieve an easy victory
Do not be lulled into indifference and lethargy
but remember that our enemy is an archiend,
who has sown hatred, ,discord, heresy and schisms
among men--brethren without the name, and
dressed in different guses in each separate To-
cality-in one place a Native American, "ruine
America by Americans"-in another a Black

that all of these different factions and thesC
factionists are akin to each other. They will
fuse and act together when the time of election
comes.
Voices-That's so-that's so.
Mr.. Douglas-Hence we have to fight then
as an allied army, and when we get the De

as we have fought the Know Nothings and abol-
itionists and all other isms in front of us, tel
you rake them down. care not which of then

elect our men, but to bury abolitionism with al
its concomitant evils, so deep in the grave tina
sherc will be no resurrection for them. We
ask you for majority that will be recorded
upon the electoral pages of history. We wisl

Loud and long continued applause, amidst
