East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1860-10-04

aud limos are a. little Inclined To be
come frontier States a. NSrylgad, Fir-
ginis and Kentucky. Had the pressht
Administration cut loose from the dis.
unionists, instead of virtually administer
ing to their designs, aud planted itsel I
firmly on Uniop ground, the secessions at
Charleston and Baltimore would never
have occurred, the constitutional Union
Party would have been an impossibility,
tAe Democracy would nave recovered its
ascendency in the North, and an united
patty, embracing two-thirdsdf the North
and Of the South, would now have been
marching TO certain victory next No
Tembcr.
What ought to lave been the prevent
i've must now be the remedy, Should
Lincoln in November next secure q ma
jority of the Electors patriotic men,
North and South, without waiting for his
inauguration, irrespective Of party lines,
and throwing aside all minor considcra-
tons, must band together for the triple
purpose Of pi evening any attempt to
break up the Union checking the Repub-
lican party while in the ascendant and
expelling them {rem power at the next
election. Let the toast of Gen. jackson,
oyRs Fe4cydt Union = il must be pre-
served become the motto Of the party,
while strict construction of the Constitu-
ton and jealous regard for the rights
OF the States shall he its distinguishing
principle and unwavering practice Let
the constitutional principle be adopted of
no legislation by Congress over the Ter
ritories, or throw aside altogether the
nlischievous issues IN relation TO them, of
no practical utility, gotten up by dema-
gogues and diSunionists, as means of &C
comprising their own selfish ends. Let
them inhexihly refuse TO support, for any
Federal or State Offices any man who
tails of dissolution on the one hand, or
"irreprcssibIe conflict between Freedom
and Slavery on the other. Throw aside
all party leaders except such as ''kcer
step to the music of the Union" and are
prepared to battle for State rights under
its banner.
Be this your "platforni;" let the Soutl
rally npcn it as ono man, and ! would
pledge all but my life, that ut least one
half Of the North will Join you in driving
from power the reckless asSailants Of Won,
rights aud institutions. But whethe,
the united South comes mp to rescue OF
not, forcsee that in the natural progress
of events, the central States from thu
Atlantic TO the far West, will band TO
gether on this ground, leaving the Adolf
tionists of New England aud the Dis
unionists of the So.th to the harmless
pastime of bclching fire and fury at eacl
other at safe distance, protected by tn
patriotism and good sense of nineteenth
of their countrymen, against the evil
they would bring on themselves.
Can you doubt the success Of such
reunion? Not an advocate Of disunio
under any probable circumstances can
found among the candidates for the Pres
idcncy and Vice, Presidency.
The supporters of Bell to man, tn
supporters Of Douglas to a man, an
more than three-fourths Of the supporter
of Breckenridge, are staunch friends o
Northern Interference with Southern il
stitutions. When, convinced of the fol-
and madness of their warfare on eac
other, as they will be after the election
not before, they band together in con
mon cause, and that cause the preserv;
ton of our glorious Union and its inva
liable Constitution with their atteudar
blessings, will they not be irresistible?
How much more hopeful and cheerin
is a prospect like this than the conten
plation Of standing armies, grindin
taxes, ruined agriculture, PROSTATE con
merce, bloody battles, ravagcd countri,
and sacked cities
This continent, like the Eastern worl
IS destined to have its Northern hive
Shall its swarms be repressed by Il
strong hspd of the States united, or al
they, by dissolution Of the Union, to /
let loose upon our South like the Coil
and Vandals upon Southern Europe?-
True, their blood might, in that even
fertilize your desolated fields, but yor
institutions, like those Of the Roma
Empire, would sink to rise no more.
These arc the thoughts of an old ma
whose only political aspirations are, tn
when he dies he may leave his countl
united, happy aud free.
With sincere regard, AMOS KENDALL.
A HIGH Compliment FROM REpuBI
