s. Keep Step to the Music of the Union"
We present below the address of the Gill
more Rangers" of the city of New Orleans
and commend it to the perusal Of our readers
The "young men of the city of New Orleans"
who have formed themselves into body called
"The Fillmore Rangers" consist of about two
thousand men, all voters, who are ready at a
moments warning to rally at the call Of their
countrymen to sustain and defend their rights
of suffrage. Thb hired bullies of this dying
administration, who may, as on former occa-
sions, attempt to control the ballot-box in that
city, will have hard road to travel, if they
renew their outrages upon American-born cit
liens. Let this spirit prevail throughout the
country and Americans win rule their own
country" in 1857. Read the following adj
dress:
"The young men of the city of New Orleans, in or
paniEinR themselves into Club Of FILLMORE RAN
GERS deem it proper publicly to proclaim their prin.
ciples and their object
"There is q crisis in national affairs. The exist
ence of the Union is involved in it.
"Party spirit unavoidable, perhaps, in free re-
publics-has been inhamed until is has become dan
gerous to the stability of the government 1t is char
acterized by geographical discriminahons-it as
sumes sectional names, and appeals to local preiu-
dices.
1.-THE whole land Is torn with dissenson and dis
cord Kansas If not a theatre of civil war, presents
a sad and revolving spectacle to every patriot and
friend Of American constitutional liberty The insti-
tutions of the South impregnable under the guaran
tees of the Constitution the wise compromises Of our
forefathtrs and the patriotic action of the Conven
tons of the two great parties OF the country IN 1852
are now fercey assalled.
On the one hand, the Abolitionists, grown into a
Nl.C AlNa nj thn
| Compromise and become formidable by their union
with the Freesoers under sectional leaders, regardless
of the constitution ofour common country, and PROBES
sing to follow preceps ola higher law, openly
an administration for the North against the South
On the other hand misguided and fanatical zealos,
endeavoring TO knde sectional luminosity, and to TO-
ment jealousies and heartburnings between the diff
ferent parts of the country seek to create Southern
party opposed to Northern party, and desire an
administration for the South as against the North.
In this alarming condition of public affairs it be-
comes the duty OF every good man to rally to the sup
| port of the Union and the Constitution. The time
| demands an enlarged and enlightened patriotism a
| conservative and, at the same hrne comprehensive
national policy All interests of the country must be
regarded; all sectional distinctions eschewed. The
constitution must be observed in its true spirit and
equal Justice done 10 every portion OF the Union
The resources Of the country must be developed, and
no obstruction opposed TO the will OF the nation in its
constitutional legislation The national honor must
be preserved unsuled the Union consolidated, and
| the principles Of our government made known and
appreciated by the operations OF their justice and
| benevolence. Thus will harmony, be restored and
American liberty perpetnated
1--WE have one common history, one national glory
Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill Eutaw, Cow
| pens and Kings Mountain; MonaaQunf and YORK
i town Saratoga and New Orleans AL belong alike
/ 10 one country. And Hancock, Adams, jefferson
Washington; Jay and Marshall; Clay and webster
| ahed undying lustre on the American name. we
have indeed one country one Constitution, one des-
tiny; and we firmly believe that there are IN the
i NORTH as 10 the South men Of American national
character who true 70 themselves and TO their noble
ancestors win transmit unimpaired 70 posteriy the
| heritage they baye received.
