L.t the voice ofthe People be Heard.

We believe with our able and conservative contempt
rsr Of the Louisville Democrat, that the people North
and South are for the Countryside whole country The
politicians are for themselves Through the forus of
law, the Offices are held BY in both sections who
isreJ ne eOt the sentiments Of their constituency. Shall
the country be plunged into civil by the action Of
political trcksteIse Forbid it, heaven The people arc
slsays right or IL wrong, the first apply the
remedy. What a nation powerful in all the elements
OF strength ard grestness-ihe worlds admiration and
the tyrants fear-to be torn and discovered by the hob
bies Of few hundred sectional fanatics North and South
and the peace happiness and prosperity of tbirty-oue
millions OF people 10 be broken up. Better build ma
tiona lunaic ASYLUM aud place the crazy demagogues
in t for safe keeping And lest the people NAV stay
their unhOy action they would with precplae haste
break up the Union and devasate the country that they
NAV still live in power Such patriots not the de-
scendaats Of Washington and Jefferson. They are
not allied by blood or sympathy with the fathers
OF the revolution. They are betraying their cOuu-
try BY dividing and dstractng IT, into the hands OF
the enemies of civil and religious Gbery-the tyrants
Of the old world, who have ever been Jealous Of
our progress If The Union is dissolved and small Sept
rate COZ ederaces are formed OF what was the mighty
Republic of the United States the emperOrs kings and
sovereigns Of Europe would be abant excess They
have long felt the irdleDce OF our insttutons-tave
feared the success Of our Government The uprising for
freedom in their midst from the germ strongly
rooted in this country. The seeds waited across
the ocean, and in many humble took root From
thence cane war and struggle for liberty oft renewed
hence yrants viii witness with endish delight, the sew
erance Of our bond Of Union and toe weakening Of
national power They have too keenly fit already the
influence of our Democratic, Republican institutions
Ia division there is weakness hence they will chUeke
over the dissolution Of our Government
Blu. we couteud that whatever may be the action of
Congress, of State Legislatures North South the
ia sses are for peace aud right They will accord TO
each section their jus; demands and prefer to live in
concord TO an intermnable strife Then let the peace
Convention at Washington, agree upon basis Of set-
dement, without regard to the outside pressure Of pohi
clans and demlgogucs aud submit /, to the people for
