AEroSA, X. T., June 10. 1858.
Mr.. CHEF:-Such is the language of every
patriot from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and re-
iterated ny the conservative portion from Maine
to Georgia. By sad experience has the Amer.
lean People ascertained that the syren's song,
-Demoeracy-ha finally terminated in quag-
mires-ended in fog-has brought our beloved
country upon the verge of Disunion, and blight.
ed our national integrity at home and abroad
4" Southern Rights, and Southern Threats " are
now laughed at across the "pOnd," and the in
tegrity Of Southern honor below par, because q
party claiming to be National, would risk the
consequence upon " trick" " swindle," and
"roulette " Of a few political Democratic gam
blers, and Southern Territory forever lost to the
South, by the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise.
Cast your eyes farther North, and we find
Northern nationality in " Fremont's boOts."-
But casting our glance to the CONSERVATIVE
elements North and South, we see the bosom OF
the placid stream COMPROMISE flowing ma
jestically onward toward national greatness and
perpetuity Of our institutions. The maelstrom
has been passed, the Ship of Union having
passed that awful chasm with Crittendcn at the
helm, Bell on the " look out" Marshall, Davis,
and a host OF Others among the rigging, with
everything " taut," amid the hOwlings of Disu-
Mon Democracy, and the cry Of fanaticism and
Rspublicanism. All eyes were upon the crew
of the "ship" as she was beating, lacking,
pitching and sinking in the abyss as If to arise
no more. But those hearts Of iron at helm, be-
low and aloft, minded not the bowling of the
storm-heeded not the awful rocks of DisuniOn,
but steered clear and brought our old Ship into
the harbor Of safety. as did the immortal Clay,
in days Of yore- And a shout went up like the
mighty earthquake, rocking our noble era # from
stem to stern, organize, organize the people
are now awakc-place new sentinels upon the
watch-towers. Organize, organize, has gone up
from every hamlet, town and city-from every
County and State throughout our Union. Or
gAnize, organize, is spoke by the farmer, echoed
back by the mechanic, and Numbered loud and
long, by patriots, sages and people.
In Kansas the people have found the stern
realities of Squatter Sovereignty, to consist of
" United States troops " and bristling bayonets.
And Squatter Sovereignty and Democracy have
brought our country upon the brink of ruin
Hence, We hear in laundering tones from e, cry
portion, East and West, North and South. or
ganiEe, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE the Peoples
Party, on National principles, choosing men
whose souls we're tried amid the bowling storms,
and never paAdered for popular favor, but stood
amidst the wreck when all but them had fed for
safety, surety and National HONOR. We say,
organize the PEOPLES Party-men not mea-
sures being our motto, American Rights our
platform, the Stars and Stripes our banner, union
Of States our Watchword, and Death to all Trai-
tors to our Constitution be our Gland marks,'
then can we rely upon judicious Legislation,
honest Executives, and the peoples rule will be
inaugurated, and all will come upon the plat !
form OF Truth and Justice.
"Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty"
is now verified and ascertained, that in the peo-
pie is the Government, in the people is the safe
ty, and in the people is the Truth and Power Of
Governments, and not in Government troops
and bristling bayonets, to enforce Democratic
Squattcr Sovereignty, with a bride of so many
acres of land to vote for the English PROPOSE |
ton s. on the Lecompton "Swindle," adding |
insult to injury.
And hence it is time to ORGANIZE, that
the PEOPLE may understand each other, and |
no longer listen to the caterings or fine spun
yarns of stamping candidates of party favor"
John ]. Crittenden, John M. Bell, Edward |
Everett, H. Marshall, H. Winter Davis, and |
hosts of others North and South, who have
shown by their manly daring, that they know no
lines Of distinction in National Legislation, but
stand boldly up and fight for the people. Then
we ask for our country's sake, and no
longer bow our neeks to the " bulls and prouun-
ciamentcs " Of Democracy, Buchanan, &c.
More in few days.
LIBERTAD EFT vERITAS.
