TO those threats were pulling in their nurses srms their
father in louder strain told Us 10 admit Missouri or

dssf.ned BY those sounds. Sometimes the breeze hs.
been uled 20 that we scarce heard its whispers in the
tee tops and sgsin We have the tempest gather

No, Ten thousand times No! While we have lille

fires The green graves Of our sres God and our

But we shall not fight. We have no foe who
wis ca 70 face our steel. Our brethren az the
So1th understand TOO well what would be that war
which Mr.. Canning denominated "a war OF senti-
ment." On our eide we have the dearest principles

| The contest is too unequal. IL will never come.
Abraham Lincoln will be elected, but the contest viii
not come At every step Of yOur advancing host the
voice of contest and secession grows weaker and
weaker. As our ranks are bold and strong, theirs
grow fant-bea1ted and weak. AS our maorities swell,
their opposi,on and threats Of violence and disuDion
se spoken in voices more and more falte'ing. Aud,
| now, Urion-lovDg men, Bell and Everett men,
| d uoss mep, Breckenridge men, Do you really
love the Union Do you really desire peace and re-
pose from agitation, then with your own swell the
vote for Abraham Lincoln Elected he certainly will
be- No power save the direct interposton of Heaven
can prevent it now You know, and L know, and
every man OF intelligence knows that in proportion as
Mr. Lncons majority ia large, in that came ratio VIII
the South submit quietly, pesceably, without violence
or secession.
Would Won do generous action? Do It for poster
ty preserve for You children the glorious inheritance
you have received from your fathers. Participate in
the renown of the great Republic; the only Republc
that has thus far wthstood the shocks of party and the
wasting tide Of war. Participate 10 a glory :" not
famed by coDquests crimson wing" but achieved at
the ballot box in the peaceful exercise of the hghes.
privileges of freeman and man.
Our freedom, and privileges, and happiness have
been bought at great price. Trace them along the
ages Writ the graves ioto which the champions OF
Freedom went down all but despairing, the prisons
where captives pined, the scsHolds and the stakes
where heroes FELL the tomb of the illustrous Washing
ton where 90 much loyalty and love- and fahfulness
lie buried. Could these come up from their silent
graves and enjoying the magnificent purchase of
their tolls and blood, do you think they would regret
their sufierings
Have you and ! no mission to achieve-Do duty to
perform Do we owe no obligations TO the past no
allegiance to the present. duty to the future May
our institutions like the capitals of Eastern civilization
rot off the earth end we be innocent
Would you enroll your names in that glorious army
who are ralying to protect freedom in this her
last asylum
Would you preserve the Constitution and perpetuate
the Union Vote copjure you for ABRAHAM LIS
