er were the friends of the Union, from any
sufficient existing grievance, less prepared to
have apprehcnded a conspiracy so atrocious
l'nt those to whom you had committed the
safety of the republic were faithful to their
trust
The Democratic party was, by common con.
sent, acknowledged to be the sole party of the
Union, and was charged with its defencc.
Sound and truthful documents, adequate to the
emergency were prepared, and circulated to an
extent scarcely inferior to that of the errors
which they were intended to counteract. Able
and eloquent orators were impressed into the
service Of the Union. They responded with
an alacrity worthy that with which their an
cestry had repaired to the battlefield in the
same holy cause. Never was there more har-
mony in the Democratic cause. Never did the
patriots of every party earn more true glory
than when they enrolled themselves in the
recent canvass under the banner of Democra-
cy, and marched TO fight for the salvation of
the Union
My fellowcitizcns, the contest is, for the
present over. The Democratic party is again
in control Of the Government 1t will have
ample opportunity to convince those who have
been mslcd, that its only object is the estab.
lishment of equal rights, not the propagation
of sectional policy. 1t will show the world
that it desires only to promote the political
and commercial progress Of this great Repub-
lic--to advance the cause of human civiliza-
ton and liberty, not to acquire the property
of other nations by force or fraud 1t will de-
monstrate that Democratic principles are alone
adequate to the effectual administration of
the Government, and that they are, as they
have been, fully competent to insure the sue
cess of that Republican Empire which our
fathers have founded and committed to our
care.
In closing the performance of the arduous
and responsible duties coniided to our hands
by the confidence Of the Democratic party we
have to return our thanks to Providence for
having permitted us in any sense howsoever
humble, to have been instrumental in preserv-
ing onr beloved country from a conspiracy so
dangerous to its peace and tranquility, and in
having contributed to result so conclusive of
the established ascendancy of Democratic
principles, and so auspicious to the permancn-
cy the Union

WHO ARE THE DEMOCRATS, AND WHO THE
TRAroRs?-They are those who are eternally
singing, the syren song Of the Union--thosc
who are proclaiming peace when there is no
peace--those who make proclamation in adj
vance OF the willingness of the South to subnut
to any infraction Of the Constitution that de.
grades her equality and outragcs her rights
those who stimulate Northern aggression and
ianatical assault by cries of no danger and by
peans to the Union--thesc are the men WHO
deserve not only the designation of traitors and
disunionists, but the hangman's halter on the
nearest Tyburn.
On every occasion when Northern fanaticism
has medtatcd some fresh scheme of spoilation
and rapne, Just at the moment settled and
fixed determination has ncryed the heart of tn,
South to do or die for her rights, have these
real disnnionists and traitors leaped from then
kennels and commenced their internal howls of
danger to the blessed Union," when they
knew that the only safety to that fabric consists
in the preservation of the Constitution from
outrage.
These are the men who have done more to
build up Northern sectional party of con
quest than all other causes combined. They
have invited aggression. They have wooed
chains with the assiduity of lover woong his
mistress Instead of standing up like men for
their rights; instead of proclaiming that there
was point in the deep Of degradation which
the South would not fathom; instead of warn
ing the aggressive spirit of Northern fanat
cism against further nroads on Southern eoua-
ty; instead of pointing out that the end of this
everlasting agitation of the slavery question is
obliged to be severance of the Union, we
have heard this crew singing hosannas to the
Union; compromising away the rights of the
South; ayowing III advance their willingness to
submit to anything and everything just to stay
in the Union. We have had them literally
counting subjugation. And these are they
who undertake to lecture about disunionists
and traitors, the very men who are daily sap
ping the foundation stones of the government,
who are doing more than all Aboitionists com
bined to build up party at the North bent
ON conquerng the South The true Union
men--the true patriOts--are those who love a
union Of equality, but hate a Union of degra-
daton; who are for preserving the Union as it
was--who are for equality in it or independence
