The Union, the Constitution, and the En-

There was a party-aud u very respectable,
though not yc"y numerous, party II was too
during the recent Presidential campaign, whose
platform consisted wholly of this cuunciation Of
principles The Union, the Constitution, and
The enforcement Of The Lalcs. This platform
was, it is true, vague and general enough to
suit the most lastIdious taste, leaving immense
latitude for individual inter pretations and gloss
aries, yet, after ALL it was thoroughly patriot.

the music Of the Union, whether their forces
were gathered on the plantations of the South,
the rugged soil Of New England, or the rolling
prairies of the great West.
But that party has been exceedingly quiet

up compromise, and rs the first step he pro-

from the correspondence Of the New York Tr'-

. Mr.. Dayis's speech was constrained and
snbdued IN temper, and terminated in desire
for peaceful separation, with hint at possible
reconstruction His arguments in favor Of the
right of secession, and in yindication OF the
position Of South Carolina, were feeble and
mlting throughout, and betrayed the conscious
ness Of weakness. Mr.. Trumbull answered his
charges against the Republican party promptly
