wavering resolution and courage by yonr .colors,
The UNION IS IN DANGERiy There is, beyond ques.s
ton, nefaiious plot-already begun and now IN
progressto break up this glorious Union and pre-
cpitate into revolution these peaceful and pros
porous States. Hardly day passes but new proofs
OF the design of those who are engaged in this un-
halowed work break out to the gaze of an astonsh-
ed and indignant people. Yancey, Keitt,t Rhett,
and other secession leaders have proclaimed their
purposes in terms as plain ff they were written
across the heayensl The "Seceders' Ticket is

to principle which every attempt to enforce viii
drag US nearer and nearer to dsunion and Feyolu-
ton. Islt your purpose--your wish@to lend your
aid to such designs as are foreshadowed by the de-
clarations and acts of the leaders of the Seceders
Ticket" Do you intend to submit tamely, and
with craven spirit, to the declaration of those who
are seeking an opportunity to precipitate the coun
try into Revolution 2, Knowing these things-ard
feeling your obligation as patriots-how can you
support Breckenridge and Lane2 Stand by your
colors, then, my countrymen Stand by the men
in whom you have confidence. Stand By the ma

son. The people are rallying every where against
the Seceders Missouri has spoken in thunder tones
for Douglas The indignant rebuke which the gal
liant sons of old Kentucky have given the ''secesl
cion ticket" has swept away every vestige of hope
for Breckenridge even in his State. The friends
of Douglas in Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Kentucky Missouri and Georgia have
thrown out their banner with defiant air, and reso-
lutte purpose. Other States will follow with aacri-
ty and zeal And shall it be said, that here, in
North Carolina alone, are his frends-the friends of
the regular nominees of their party-the friends of
the Union-too craven hearted to bid indignant de-
ance to the tyranny of partizan leaders, and strike
boldly for the right? Nerer-NEyERl Rally then,
on the 30th of this month, at the Capitol of your
State aad speak out like men who owe alegiancete
