November 6, 1856.
The trust Of conducting the national canvass
confined to the Democratic National Resident
Committee has been discharged with the fidelity
which the honor and the exigency Of that trust
alike demand, and the committee has to unite
its congratulations with your own in announcing
the success ofthe Democratic ticket by deci-
ded and gratifying majority. . as al1er
The struggle is over and the Uuion is safe
Ours is, indeed, a new and signal triumh,-
Heretofore our victories have been achieved
over those, who, like ourselves, were friends of
the Union. This has been a conquest over its
enemies Heretofore our antagonists have con-
tended with fraternal eagerness for the honor Of
promoting the progress or Of insuring the dura-,
ton of the Republic. Those whom we have
just vanquished, sought under a treacherous ad-,
herence to the forms of tho Constitution, to rob
it Of all its essence and vitality. The princi-
pies of the Democratic party having become the
established policy Of The federal government, it
become necessary for its enemie s. to organize

Our enemies had chosen thGir ground with
skill; they had recruited their ranks with all
the influences which could combine an army
They proclaimed the ultimate abolition Of sla-
very as the incentive to the fanatic---the diyis-
ion ofthe spoils as the reward of the mercenary.
The pretended invasion of d sacred right, con-

pulses whilst q foigned regard for the Union,
was to secure the support or the neutrality Of
sll whose material interests were involved inits
duration. These devices had organized aeefor-
