will JOIN you IN driving from power the reck-
less assailants of your rights and Institutions
But whether the united South come up TO the
rescue or not, foresee that in the natural prog
reSs of events, the central States from the At
lantic 10 the far West, will band together on
this ground, leaving the AbolitionIsts Of New
England and the Disunionists cf the South TO
the harmless pastime Of belchlng fire and fury at
each other at safe assistance, protected by the
patriotism and good sense OF nine-tenths of their
countrymen, against the evils they would bring
on themselves.
Can you doubt the success of such a reunion
Not aa advocate of diSnnion under anv pro bable
circumstances can be found among the candi-
dates Tor the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
The supporters of Bell to man, the Suppor-
tiers of Douglas 20 man, and more than three
foarths OF the supporters of Brrcknridge, are
staunch friends ofthe Union, and staunch ad-
versarieS TO Northern interference with Sou
thern institutions. When, convinced Of the
folly and madness OF their warfare on each O.
ther as they will be after the election If not be-
tore, they band together IN a common cause,
and that cause, the preservation OF our glorious
Union and IFS invaluable Constitution, with
their attendant blessings, will they not be irfre-
sistlble
! How much more hopeful and cheering is a
! prospect like this than the contemplation OF
standing armies, grinding taxes, ruined agricul-
ture, PROSTATE commerce, bloody battles, rava-
| ged countries and sacked citi;ies. This Con-
| tinent hkrthe Eastern world is destined TO have
! lis "Norlhern hive :" Shall its swarms BE- re-
pressed by the strong hand of the States united
or are they, by dissolution of the Union, to bt
let loose upon the South, like the Golhs anc
Pandals upon Southern Europe true, then
blood might, in that event, fertiIize your desc
lated fields, but your institutions like those O
the Roman Empire, would sink 10 rise no more
These are the thoughts OF an old man who's
only political aspirations are, that when he die
he may leave his country united, happy and
free. With sincere regard.

DEMOCRACY IN 1856.

It is well TO turn back and see how southern
men understood the Cincinnati Platform in l8-
Sc. The following testimonials are but few a.

Hon. Eli ThaVer.

Perhaps no Congressional district in the T.
nion has latterly excited more attention than
that represented in the present Congress by
Hon. Eli 1hayer, OF Massachusetts. His expe-
rience in Kansas having induced him to believe
that Popular Sovereignty was better and fair
er plan for the adjustment OF the slavery ques-
ton in the Territories than Congressional inter-
ventlon, he has ably and boldly sustained his
opinions, and for this reason a resolute effort
was made TO prevent his reno nination, which
proved successful. In recent letter. howev-
er, IN reply to request of FIVE hundred Repub-
licans to emit the Use of his name as an inde-
pendent candidate, after complaining Of Unfair
ness on the part OF some OF the party managers
of his district, he says:
"With me, neither party ties nor party DIS
cipline have any authority or respectability,
when they come in conflict with truth and JUS
tice. AS stood upon the floor of Congress in
defence of my own convictions, and in defiance
OF the authority of party, SO will DO here and
everywhere, now and always, free man. |
confde in free peofle.
i do, therefore, with my whole heart, ac-
cept the nomination, coming as it does from the
sovereign power, and therefore OF higher sig
nifcance and authority than any nomination
made by the servants OF a party organization.
This is a nomination of the very highest author
lty, and is wholly congenal TO my political
principles and ideas. If the people desire me
10 represent them longer in Congress they will
prove it by their votes. Whatever be their de-
cision, | shall be content with it as an express
ion OF that popular sovereignty which ] con-
tend is the birthrisht Of American citizens"
An animated contest may evidently be anti
cipated.

luton ? DO you suppose that the De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania are TO be dra-
goonod by any such course? Ifyou do,
you are mistaken this time. But you
think differently, and so do those who
are acting with yoI in this scheme Of
disorgnnizatiou If you and your col-
eagues to the National Convention had
pursued the same conciliatory course as
at Reading, the same result would have
taken place. You know that the friends
OF Mr. Nitte and Mr.. Fry were at dag
get points. The office went in search of
the man, and by acclamotion Henry D..
Foster was nominated. This rcconcileG
all parties; and the same might have
been done either at Charleston or Balti~
more. But now we find that Henry d.
Foster. the Democratic nominee for Gov.
crnor is to be compelled to take sides
with one or the other Of the two political
Presidential parties or factions in this
State and the Philadelphia Press, that
"No-pdrtV papct," has sounded the bugle,
and its editor informs us he has written q
letter to Gen. Foster, and he must an
swer it. Whether this letter contains as
much honesty and moral principles as his
famous Jameson letter. we are left in the
dark, But if Gen. Foster is half the man
believe him to be, he will treat that let
ter, and all others CT like import, with ST.
lent contempt, and the true Democracy
Of the State, and every true friend Of the
Union, will sustain him. Now, sir, am

upon fair, just and equitable principles
against the common foe of the Democrat,

Convention which met at Reading, and OF
which YOU were a member. That you

The PLATFORM FOR CALIFoRNIA. 49, ResOIped
That we as Caliiornans, have no more to do
with the " "infernal niggcr question:" than with
,he war in China, and that we leave all the world
and the crest of mankind to employ either
free or slave labor, or no labor at adjust as
they please
Reso!ced, That Politicians hy trade, have been
lhe bane OF the State, and that we will have
nothing more to do with them that political
parties are humbug got up by ambitious leaders
for selfish ends, which exist only by the sulierance
of the good-natured people, who allow them
selves to be arrayed against each other on cues
fions foreign to their welfare
RESOLVED, That we have already twice as many
laws as are needed, aud three times as many as
can be enforced; and that as general rule, the
least mischevous thing which our Legislature can
do will be to do nothing.
Resolved That we have "undmnshed conf
dence" in the fertility of our SOIL the specific
gravity and value of gold, the nourishing quail
ties of beef and bread and the necessity of hard
work and economy.

D0N'r You WISH YOU MGGnr IF the London
Post Government organ) echoes English senti-
ments, that power anXiously hopes for dissou-
ion of our Union of States. The following ex-
lraet is from the star of Jan. 9rd
If the Northern States should separate from
the Southern on the question of slavery
which now so iiercely agitates the public mind
in Amerca-that portion of the Grand Trunk
Railway which traverses Maine, might at any
day be closed against England, unless, indeed,
She people of that State, eih an eye to CONNER.
ciai profit Shomd offer 10 aRner Themselves to CuRa-
ia. On military, as well as commercial grounds,
it is obviously necessary that British North
America should possess on the Atlantic port
open at all times OF the year--a port which,
whilst the terminus of that railway communion
ton which is destined to do much for the de-
velopment and consolidation Of the wealth and
prosperity of British North America will make
England equally in peace and war independent
of the United States. We trust that the question
of confederation will he speedily forced upon
the attention of her Maiestys Ministers. The
present time is the most propitious for its discus
sion Whilst the most distinguished men in the
United States, such as The President and General
Winfield Scott, view with natural distrHSt and
apprehension the agitation phich is grOgRg Hp IN,
4lmertcd an taeOr Of u dissolution ofHe Union, the
people of Canada are quiet and cOntented under
British rule, thinking more OF economy and trade
then of any constitutional changes, which they
know could not confer upon them single iota
OF liberty and happiness more than they now en-
JOY. But II slavery is to be the Nemesis of Re
publican Amerca--if separation Is to take place
the confederated States of British North Amer
lea, then a strong and compact nation, would
virtually hold the balance OF power on the con
tinent and lead 10 the restoration of that influence
