could not have been moro fearful precedent 7, show
how determined this sectional party to carry out
principles which would condscao eur property aud dis

NJ minated candidate on the sectional Platform.
Fremont's letter Of acceptance shows that he
undcrstooa that, because he makes . dis
nct alluson to the subject OF this difference whca
they have epdeavored 70 get up civil strife the bosom
OF The slave states themselves, merely because that
ccs OF cause was unequaly distributed that have
right to expect II tins party should get inlo powerwe
the whole power OF this party would be used get up
sriie within tho Southern States, not merely the
ton among white men themselves. We know that In
the slave States they effect any such purpose for
white men unders and the vitanterests Of the white
to preserve the existing relations OF things But this
party would be willing 70 their power should be
gwen them, effect such result. Suppose they
10 elect President upon such principles and
they we've 10 administer the government in that way,
where would the South be paceds Do you suppose that
they would agree 10 sacrifice their constitutional rights
DO you suppose that they would remain in the
UnionY Well did Mr.. Fillmore ask Of the OF the

Uncn in which the constitution was TO be treas ed null

terry impossible that the government should be admin
stercd uron such principles without leading to the
destruction Of ,his Unon want to ask you, Northern
men, whether there be any consideration IN the
ton of sectional President, such Fremont, to justify
the North in mper ing such institutions as materially
politically and socially affect the preservation OF the
UnionY Before doing that permit me to show you those
doctrines upon which they asating the pubnc mind
would be as destructive at the North as at the
South. l will show you that these doctrines cao
law prosoripes the institution Of slavery nunes the
protection OF the constitution, because violates that car
dina political paxim, that all men created equally
We ali know In European society there Is sect which
has been agtaling principle that the possession Of all
property was theft, and that tie institution OF
property itseli was against the higher law.
They have said It destroys tho equality amongst
men they have charged It with leading 10 the very
evils which have been ascribed in this country to the
stutiou Of slavery, II you agree that the nsttu
