petuation OF the Union as the grsst end TO bs
arrived at aud who estimate all measures,
whothr OF war or pescs, only as they conduce
TO that end; who are op posed to auy war, and
equally TO any peace which is based upon the
IDEA OF the separation Of these states. Whio
tbsy hold that the war can snly be safely
prosecu'et by Q more vigorous command in
sde, they regard Il a. tho duty Of the
Federal Government 10 hold out terms
NJ peAc, aud accommodation TO the die. severed
stats, assuring them Of ali their rights uudsr
the Constitution; that as our political sys-
tsm was founded In compromise. and has

orable in any administra ion 70 seek to TO-
Uore 1t by ths sans me,as. Above all they

bllity Of institutions as 70 give rise TO an cir
rspressibls conflict, between them, which eau
only ttrmtDate In the sublHgAtioa OF one or the
other. R-pell'pg the doctrine that any stats
can righ' fully secsde frlm ths Union, they hold
next In GDsysncs that aggressive fAnsticlsm and
sectional policy which has 80 largely conribu-
ed 10 the present danger Of the oou uatry.
They propose 70 invite 10 q union With thsm
citiEsss Of what,vsr party, who believing in
thsse views, will act with them to secure an
honest Administration In FEDERAL and state at.

and the sxpuls ion OF corrupt men from public
