HIoNIsM FASTENED UPON THE TRAITORS.
The overwhelming democratic triumphs in PenDsy ylyania
and Indiana and the large democratic gains in Ohio which
paraks Of the character Of general victory may in part
be attributed that inherent love for the Union with the
masses the depth and strength Of which becomes and
apparent danger threatens weaken its power
affect its duration When glorious confederAcy has
been impeed by foes within without when the indus
trial interests Of the country have been parSlyzed by the
Vaccinations of political shArpers and gamblers, and
when attempts have been made by bgots and fanatics
to destroy those institutions upon which the Union
has proudly and securely rested for more than
three quarters Of century the people have always
turned, and never turned in vain TO the democratic
party 1t is barely possible that very large number
of the people Of the northern States might have been de-
ceved for few months longer with the catching but hy
pocca generaues Of black republicansm II is barely
possible that many very worthy people could have been
kept for several weekssay until after the electonin
state of political phensy and convenient darkness by the
cry Of free SOIL free speech free love- and Fremont 1t is
barely possible that the fraud upon bleeding dupeS in the
of bleeding Kansas might have been kept up until
Ex-Governor Reeder had gathered rich harvest from his
land speculatons But when ii became apparent to the
dullest comprehension that all the last six months
noise and talk and fury and phrensy, about border
rufansm, free Speech northern rights southern ag-
gressons destroying sacred compact, &C., but
the workings of the old eaven Of aboliionsm, with
all it's infdelity, its revolutionary purposes, and its
malignant hatred of the white race the daily deser-
tons from the black-repubcan ranks became large
to fill the leaders with apprehension and alarm The New
York Herald assured its readers that the Fremoners

supporting party in the field The same assurance was
given by the New York Times. Greeley declared, in a
spirit great magnanmity that in this special instance
the statements Of the Herald and Times might be credit
ed Mr. Speaker Banks in his famous Wall-sree speech
went few steps further According to his showing
he stood with Webster in his veneaon and admiration
the federal constitution He stood with Buchanan in the
enforcement those great conservative principles by which
anacism is robbed of its proscriptve terrors and
free institutions preserved from the of inudcious
friends and the assaults Of open enemies He stood with
Clay in his love for the Union II is that he once
claimed, 'et the Union slide J" but the exclamation
simply a figure of speech, and merely designed to
convey the idea that he in favor of the Union sliding
sliding perpetualyon its constitutional axis And last
of ALL and than ALL he told his asonished audience
that he stood with Mr. Douglas upon the great platform
popular Sovereignty
But this mpudent attempt of the black republicans at
the eleventh hour to change front and to epudae their
own acts and their sentiments of avail and
will be of avail Their reasonable designs cannot be
effaced from the public official record There

The undersigned citizens and inhabitants Of State

That the nature OF things antagonistca PRINCIPLES
