II The constitution preserved in its purity gives ample
Hprotcction to all rights. The constitution violated

%dcmocratc party stands pledged to preserve the con
sution and to protect us from northcrn aEgreSSons'
ESQ far it has had the power do il, and, il its unity
S{be maintained, be,icyeit will continue to do It, That

Atry Those who look to Glbuscring and the reopen,
ing Of the slave trade look for future security to a.
&pocy ont Of the Tnioa. Those who wish to sustain
d the national democratic party, look to a policy IA me
q Union. And this is the essence Of the subject here
Sdiscusse,l. I am for the policy iite Union.
z The individual acts Of aggression, the occasional
encing away of our slaves, By the Abooniata, fall
fno upon Texas, or Louisiana, or Mississippi or Ala
Sbama or Georgia whore hear so much talk Of the
Revolutionary ideas of dsunon, Of flibustcring and
= the re-openiug the slave trade. But they fall when
they do occur, on Maryland Virginia, Kentucky and
4 Missouri As these are the States directly aggrevcd
we may reasonably expect them to resist, when resist
ance shall become the proper remedy and, when ,hey
do so, shall unite with them. Ihey are Doth rs
Gcourugeous and sensitive Of their rights rs We ana
Ryet there, where whatever groud of complaint there
Bis. exists, hear of no advocnes OF these reyoiu
Etionary doctrines of disunon as mere matter OF PC-
Fey, and of flibustering and the reiopehhG Oh the
Hsinve trade These facts show that it is for revolution
Raud conquest, and not merely for the resistance OF
gnorthern Impressions that our agtaors are Mt work
For myself will aid in every movement Winch LOOKS
To the preservation of our rights and resistance to
knorthern aggression. But Will not advocate de-
,Istruction of Government as matter OF policy,
or these revolutionary measures based upon crnc
(which look to such result 1t is time we should all
Ssee whore drifting, to what the times are tend
ing. and determine whether we are ready lea revclu-
TtiCn with all its attendant insccu rites to life and
property and with its hazards of civil and religious
kliberty.
"a The principal ground of complaint with us, in ''
%extreme South is, that northern legislatures occas
Nally attempt oYcr-re the constitution and nuilfy
lEfugtye slave law, and that the Aolitonsts keep
continual agitation against slavery. And it is to tn
thines refer mainly weakening the bonds OF tn@
EUnion> So far we have been protected against III
-sargrcssons by the federal executive and by the fed
Ea judiciary If the time shall come when these =
vraTtmcnts of the government shall go into the han
2of those who woul ii thus disregard and deny us
Erights, and cases of this kind shall occur where
cal remedies are denied by the federal goyernmt
