Hon. Gso. r. Fisher, Dorsr, Dcl, |
My DEAh SiR:-l regret Tint am prevented
from complying with your request to address the
Union meeting ut Dover; more particularly MS V
you attach some Importance to my presence a
from being well known breckenridge democrat. c
Making full allowance Tor the partility and con s
hlence which uutuated the request, | will, /
thr"ngh your Kindness convey to my fellow-citi
1ens the views | entertain the momehtouA
qn' stion which calls you together.
We are now encouuterng civil war. the most ,
fearful calamity which can befall a nation-I am ,
Tor tie country and tue government. II is the
duty Of every man 10 do his mite towards main
tanning our position as q State, and our Union as
q national government. Therefore | offer YOU
this communication. My firstadvice is to throw
politics to the dossand let them deyour its car
case ;~nll party ties should be forgotten in the
great effort 10 save our Union. Abolitonisn
Native Americansm, Know Noihingsm, the
pro,oribing OF valued citizens for their reli gious
oliniuus, all are passed away, aud the task now
Is to save our nationality. | claim as a citizen
/ OF the United States, my country to be from
Maine to Texas aud clear line, Il hope some
day by railroad,) from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciho oceans. When in foreign land, have no |
| protection as q citizen OF Delaware, hut am re- |
cogni7cl only AS a citizen of the United States,
whose entire power is at my command If OPP
pressed or abused
1 | 1--we and am proud Of our own Diamond
Stale--pure az that gem trust--but feel my
possessions are broader and longer than our
three counties, for where the Stnrs and Stripes
Hoat is my land. The south cannot rob me of
this right, and should they persist in their hal
Inclination of a separate government, holding our
joint property in forts, arsenas, So. and desc
Grating our hlg, how are we to meet such re-
bellion except by force to force ? No Delaware
Statesman has advocated the right Of secession,
and II separation cannot fairly be effected except
= by a national convention. South Carolina waited
no concert Of action oven with the Gulf States
and before the present Administration came into
power dsregarding the usual Democratic appeal
to the ballot box, this rebcous State taking the
lead, went out the other Gulf States followed
her example, aud boldly cast of their allegiais
to the laws, the constitution and the government
y -icrg'ttng their ieaty also to the democratic
= petty They then Withdrew their representatives
s and left their party in minority in Congrs'
e Delaware has every feeling Of interest as well
AS patriotism to cement her allegiance to the
v constitution and government Her present 20
itical position cannot be beltered; her commerce,
~ her surplus agricultural productions her fruits,
III her vegetables, all seek a Northern market, as
our railroad communication and bay navigation
10 clearly show. Our acres of hourishng peach
'e trees but grown for fire wood If our Northern
sisters would shut their ports to and refuse
" buy. We have no cotton, no sugar, no rice, nc
tobacco for foreign markets. Gould it be for on
g instant contemplated, therefore, that we should
