The suggestion that the Union can be maintained
by the numerical predOminenee and military Prov
ess Of one section exerted 70 eoerce the other into
submission, Is. in my judgment seIfeoutradicto-
~ as It IS dangerous Il comes loaded with the
death-smeH from the fields with brothers blood
If the vital principle Of all republican governments
is the consent Of the governed much more does a
Union Of co-equal sovereign States require AZ its
basis the harmony Of its members and their volun-
tary cooperation IN It's organic funetionsEilc1rd

We see a political party presenting candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency selected for the
first time from the free States alone with the avow-
ed purpose of electing these candidates by the suf
frages of one part Of the Union only to rule over
the whole United States. Can it be possible that
those who are engaged in such a measure can have
seriously reflected upon the consequences nast IN
eUltdbty tolOc in case Of success Can they have
the madness or folly to suppose that our Southern
brethren could submit 10 Be- gOusrned by such Chief
Magistrate"
Suppose that the South. having ma
JorIty of the electoral votes should declare thas
they would only have shareholders for President
and Vice President, and should select such BY their
exclusive sutfrages % rule over US at the North.
Do you think zee would submit to it, No. for mo-
HeId And do you believe that ysur Southern breth-
rem are less sensitive on this subject than you are
or less jealous Of their rights If you DO, let me
tell you that you are mistaken! And therefore you
must see that if this sectional party succeeds il
leads inevitably to the destruction of this beautiful
fabric reared By our forefathers cemented by their
tiood' ana oequeathed to Us as a precious inherit

Speech June 30, 1860.
said that the BLACK Republican party had rub
Hcly avOwed war against the decision Of the Su-
preme Court, and had declared its fixed purpose to
resist and overturn it; and on obtaining power
through the form Of the Constitution, to change
and recognize the Supreme Court and thus
paralize the strong arm of protection 10
the South, said these principles and declarations
OF fixed purpose were at war with our dearest
rights with one Of the coordinate departments Of
the Government, and with tire Constitution of the
| nited States ; that the Black Republicans had thus
placed themselves IN the attitude Of traitors to the
Constitution and government Of the United States
they were rebels against the Constitution were the
of the good order and peace OF society
and were themselves the ViOlaters Of and rebeners
against the 1o Of the lands and that their success
in the present contest with their avOwed principles
and purposes would be direct attack on the insti
utlOns OF the South rebellion against the Constitg-
non and the Union, and that the South would be iiS-
ed, IN TIE ETES OF ALL ENLIGHTENED MEN N RESIST
