DIsUNION TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
JOHN C. FREMONT, of California
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM L. DAYTON, of New jersey.
IT'S PLATFORM.

Il would not be uLueTslOOu dS uCSlIiilS Il SeI-
vile insurrection; but say to southern gentle
men, there are hundreds of thousands Of honest
and patriotic men who aoW laugh at your ca
lan,ity, and aoiH mock ouhen yoar fear cOmeth If
blood and massacre should mark the Struggle
for liberty of those who for ages have been op-
pressed and degraded, my prayer to the God Of
Heaven shall be, that .jastice-ste,n, unyielding
j,,stice-may be awarded to both master and
slave desire that every human being may
enjoy the rights with which the God of nature
has endowed him. Ifthose rights can be regain
ed by the down-trodden sons of Africa in our
southern states by quiet and peaceful means,
hope they will pursue such peaceful measures.
But fthey cannot regain their God-g given rights
by peaceful measures, | nevertheless hope they
will regain them; and if blood be shed, | should
certainly hope that it might be the blood Of
those who stand between them and freedom
and not the blood of those who have long been
robbed of their wives and children and all they
hold dear in lfc."
JOSHUA r. GGDDINGs.
"There is higher law than the Constitution,
which regulates our authority over the domain
1t (slayery) can be and must be abolished and
you and Ineua do it. Correct your own er-
ror that slavery has any constitutional guaran-
ties which may not be released and ought not
to be relnquished. y You will soon bring the
parties of the country into an e6ecttae aggression
upon Slavery." WIN. H. SEWARD.

They use the language Of patriotism and o
love for the Union to secure the support Of Union
