Politicians, Pause.

The present is a time ofgreat peril
10 all politicians who hope for a
future. They are now compelled,
BY the force Of events, to choose
their own destiny. 1t is q dificul.
and truly hazardous situation in
which they are placed by the Con.
Juncture Of uncomfortable cireum-
stances. If they choose the true
course, brilliant future is in pros
pect. If they commit an error, it
viii be fatal, and they will fall TO rise
no more. Sectionalism, now for the
fifss time dressed up in the garb Of
Democracy, appeals to them With its
local and personal 81 mpethies and
prejudices, most powerfully 10 lead
them astrsy. On the other hand,
patriotism, duty, true Democracy,
call upon. them to stand boldly,
bravsly, and faarlessly, by the flag
of their ,chole country That sp.
pealooIissath thwart the sy mpathies aud
Of localities and attach
ment to, persons; calls upon them
to look beyond the exigencies Of the
present hour; and 1mands Of them
fealty, not to a State, nor section,
but to the nhOle Union. NatioDalism,
which all true patriots will support,
is represented BY Breckinridga and
Lane; Sectionalism by Douglas and
johnson. Look well before you
leap. Your future political life is
dependent upon the step you nov
take.

opinion everywhere without regard
to party.
1t has been necessary more than
once in our history to pause and
solemnly assert the true character
Of this government. A memorable
instance occurred in the struggle
which ended the civil revolution of
1900. The Republicans of that
day, like the Democrats of this,
we're stigmatised as disunionists,
but they nobly conducted the con-
test under the Cons titution, and
saved oar political 81 Jstem. BY
like constitutional struggle it is in
tended now to assert and establish
the equality of the States as the
only basis of Union and peace
When this object, so national, SO con-
stitutional, so just, shall be accom-
plisbed, the last cloud will disappear
from the American sky, and with
common hands and hearts the States
and the people will unite to develop !
he resources Of the whole country, |
10 bind it together with the bonds Of
Intercourse ind brotherhood, and to
Dpei it onward in its great career. /
The Constitution and the equality
If the States! These are symbols
of everlasting Union. Let these be
be rallying cry Of tee people.
| trust this canvass will be con.
'ucted without rancor, and that
emperate arguments will take the
place Of hot words and passionate
accusations. Allows all, ! venture
um3ly to hope that Divine Prov.
1ence, to whom we owe our origin,
UT growth, and prosperity, will con. I
inue to protect! our beloved country

! ment of agitation in the Territorie
that must necessarily extend t
Congress and the people Of th
States-the right Of every citizer
TO enter the common Territory Will
whatever property re legally possess
eS. 1t necessarily devolves upon ths
Federal Government the duty to pro
tect this right of the citizens when.
ever and wherever assailed OF in
fripged upon. The democratic party
honestly maets this agitating ques-
tion, which is threatening to sever
and destroy this brotherhood of
States. 1t does not propose to leg
islate for the extension of slavery, nor
for its restriction, but 10 give to
each State and every citizen all that
our forefatbers proposed to give, viz:
perfect equality Of rights, ana then
to commit to the people and 70 the
climate and the soil the determination
as to the kind Of institutions best
fitted to their requirements in their
constitutional limits, and declaring
as fundamental maxim that
the people CT Territory can
only prohibit or establish slavery
when they come to form a Constitu-
tion preparatory to their admission
into the Union. If, happily, our
principles shall prevail, aD era Of
peace and harmony will be restored |
to our distracted country, and no
more shall ge be troubled with the
agitation of this dangerous question;
because it will ba removed, as well
from the Territorial Legislature as
rom the halls Of Congress, when We
ihall bs free to turn our attention to
more useful issues. Our Union
must be preserved, but this can only
De done by maintaining the Constitu.
ion inyiolate 10 all its provisions
md guarantees. The judicial au.
hority, as provided by the Constitu.
ion, must be maintained AID its
decisions implicitly obeyed, as well :
a regard to the rights Of property
D the Territories as in oil cur other
matters. Hoping for success and
rusting in the truth aud justice Of
he principles Of our party and in that
)iyine Providence that has watched
yer US and made us one Of the I
reatest nations Of the earth and f
nat We msy continue to merit Di- b

Unfurl the banner to the air,

We bearded Douglas in his lair,
And put him to the rout;
Well heal the Union where she bleeds-
Let Constitution reign,
And follow truth whers'er she leads.

From every hill and glen,
And let them thunder forth the praise

I'LL PRAY FOR THEE
When stars are paling in the sky,
And morning with her azure wings,
Well-plumed her circuit wide to fiy.
And bathe in joyous light all things
When dew drops glistsn on each Leaf,
Expiring nights fond tears of grief;
Oh! then where'er chance o be-
I'll pray for thee! I'll pray for theel
When day is gone and pensive Eve
Her misty gauze-liks mantle wears
And holy gentle thoughts will weave
About the gloomy brow of care,
Or at the dim loved twilight hour.
When life seems all fairy bower.
f" hist bright stars glisten DER the sea
III pray for thee. I'll pray f,rthe
When night, the 'sable goddess" waves
Her magic wand Ger every breast,
And bids the wearied soul to lave
In heavenly streams of quiet rest;
Whilst silence reigns o'er natures gift
On msnory's tide my heart will drift,
And my spirit whisper glad and free
I'll pray for thee! Phi pray for thse!
When life has ceased to charm me more
And pain enfolds this fragile form,
And faithless prove the dreams of yors
And harmless fall esrth's chilling scorn-
When fainter bounds this pulse than row.
When death-dsws thicken on ny brow,
The last heart-throb shall freighted be
I'll pray for theel Pll pray for thesl

The Friends Of BreckiHridge.

Lewis Csss, the candidate Of tht
Democratic party for the Presi dency
and Gen. Wm. O. Batter, the candi
date for tho Vice-Presidenoy in
184S, will give their support in this
election to Breckinridge and Lane
as the rightful nominees ofthe Dem
ocrat party, and as the faithful
representatives Of its .ime-honored
creed.
Ex. President Pierce and every
living member of his Cabinet sup
port the ticket Of Breckinridge and
Lane.
James Buchanan, the present
Democratic President, and every
member of bis Cabinet, support the
nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane.
Every Democratic member Of the
present United States Senate, North
and South, with the exception Of
Douglas and Pugh, support the nomi-
nation Of Breckenridge and Lane.
Every Democratic member in the
House Of Representatives from the
Sourh with the exception of three or
four, support the nomination Of
: breckenridge and Lane.
Every Democratic Governor Of the
United States with but two or three
exceptions support the nomination
of Breckenridge and Lane.
Nineteen out Of every twenty |
Democratic papers Of every Demo
cratic State in the Union support
Brsckinridge and Lane.
And yet the public are told by
the Douglas organs that this is Rot
the Democratic ticket-that i. is not
a national ticket-tbat ii is disun-
ion ticket. A weak attempt to gull
the credulous.

The Mobile Tribune has the fol-
lowing: As to the prospects res.
pectively of the Breckinrldge and
Douglas tickets for success in the
approaching contest, there can be no
comparison between them. 1t is
hardly possible that Douglas can car
nv a single State in the Uoion. The
voice of not one Democratic State
was given for bis nomination-the
spurious delegations from the South,
of course, did not represent the
voice of the Democratic party IN
their States. On the other hand
Breckenridge and Lane were nomlna-
ted by the united voice of every
Democratic State. There cannot be
a doubt that the vote of every
democratic State Of the South, to.
gether with Oregon and California,
will be given for them.
