SPEECH OF THE non. DANIEL 5. DICKINSON.
Ma. PREsDLSr AND LADIES AsD GESTLyNrs;
Amid all the diversity Of sentiment In our land there
il one subject upon which can agree; and that TO-
that oar county is in mcsl lamentable condononr
Government threatened with disruption, our Constiu
ton with subyersion, and institutions with over
throw We are met here for the purpose Of Discussing
the great interests Of country and of deter
mining what becomes us il an eSgency 70 trying aud
80 fearfnl meet yod here not to discuIs Slavery OF
anti. i.slavery. Though DID line Democrat brought
M a. tie feet os Gamsliei and adherDg with tenaay
10 the principles ~ Democracy through an active liie
vet come not 20 speak 20 you upon political partisan
subjects. come 10 discuss matter thst concerns onr
Union one that fes far above and shoots deeer than
party Interests or issues. We have daty, my fellow
citizens, far beyond thai OF tho fathers OF the Re,oin
iicn. They were oppressed by tyranny. and they
sor ght 10 throw of the shaeilos Of q doepotic
monarchy. They hoped that grea, and free
Government would spring up from heir patriotic
efforts bni the most saDgaine never imagined that
Government repete with good would be the fruits
OF their beginning. What with them wss hope, with
us Is Guiton. They planted, and we Teaped. Their
experiment has become a great success, aud we are
enioyiDg or might enjoy, such blessings as Heaven
never before vouchsHfed TO mortal mau. But con-
spircy has appeared stIi'e aud division are ~ our
DOORS and becomes TO whether the fruits
Of this great and beneiCent Union must be lost or
whether they can be preserved. IL were needess TO
90 back TO review dead pnd buried issues.
There il great fact staring us Ia the
face and with that We have 10 deal. IL malters not
whether the origin Of our difficulties was North OF
South or East or Wes-the question If, How shall II

and especially in every free government political par
ties will arite. And il is well hat VIC have thenl 40
far from being curse, when resimined within Iegiti
mate bounds they blessing. The striie OF polili
cal parties like the agitation OF the natural elements,
purhes the moral atmo phere, and gives life, and Nisor,
and freedom 10 our nsutions There are some qnes-
tions too great, some too small, Tor the eAeTcte
OF political parties; and we have many dntea
TO discharge in the various relations OF life that
do not appertsin 10 political Affairs, but which we
should together and discharge, as American eii-
zeus brethren OF o1e tie, and not inquinR whether
we belong this or that the other division OF poll
tical parties When We assembe around the grave of
a neshbor, and hear those words that have riyeu 30
many hearts Earth TO earth, dnst 10 dust, asbee 10
ashes and hear the ereaking Of the cord the re-
mains are lowered TO their final resting place, the
stsifes Of passion hushed in the bosom, and
We remember only that we arc men-inquire
not what the political views Of the
dead or living. At midnight you hear the cry of
"hrew % You rush into the street. and find your
neiehbors dwelling in flames. IL is found that in the
terror OF tie moment mother has ieii infant IN the
chamber The flames bss through every creyice, the
rafers tumble the cinders crunbe, and another aud
another makes lbe attempt till Ut ast ones lost In the
fames Every eyeball is strained, every heart pal

out like whpcora, and all beheye he sloe bat finally
he appears and restores tho loved and lost 10 liz

party be belongs. When the citadel OF our country is
in fames, when The ediGce that Washington and
Frankn and their associates erected, is IN nanes,
