be, according 10 lis sovereign will and pleasure
! Most happy would il be for the country If
this long agitation were at an end. During
its whole process II has produced no practical
good to any human being, while it has been
the source OF great and dangerous evils. il
has aIienateG and sstranged one portion of the
Union from The other, and has even seriousIy Iy
threatened its very existence. To nv own
personal knowledge, il has produced The i'm
preston smong foreign nations that our great
and glorious Conlederacy is in constant dan
ger OF dissolution. This does US serious niu-
Iy, because acknowledged power and stability
always command respect among nations, and
ore among The best securities against unjust
aggression and in favor OF the maintenance OF
honorable peace.
May we not hope that II is The mission OF
the Democratic parry, now the only surviving
conservative party Of the county, ere long TO
overthrow all seetion& parties and restore the
peace, friendship and mutual confidence which
prevailed in the good old time among the diff
lerent members OF the Conlederacy. It's char.
acter is strictly national, and it therefore es-
serts no pnnciple for The guidance of the Fed
eTal Government which is not adopted and
susta ined by its members in each and every
State. For This reason il is everywhere the
same determ ined foe Of all geographical par.
ties, so much and so justly dreaded by the
Father o his Country. From its very nature
it must continue 10 exist so long as there is o
Constitu lion and Union 10 preserve. A con-
viction OF these truths has induced many oil
