MY countrymcn, one aud all, think calmly
and well upon this whole subject. Nothing
valuable can be lost 10y taking time. If there
be an object to hurry any ofyouin hot haste
to step which you would never take delib-
erately, that OBJECT will be frustrated by TAX
ing time. Bat no good object can %, fru'

satisfied still hive tn, o,i Ca titrtion ua,
impaired and in tn, sensitive point, the laws
of your oxn framing un Ter it, the n,w Ad
mini stratioI, will have no immediate power,
If il would, to change either. If it were ad-
mitted that you who arc dissa isied hold the
right side of dispute, there still is no single
reason for precipitate action. Intelligence,
patriotism, Christianity and firm reliance
on Him who has never yet forsakcn this ia.
vorel land, are still competent to adjust in
the best way all our present difficulties In
your hanls, my dissatisfied fellow-country-
mon, and not in mine, is the momcntous is
su, Of civil war. The Government will not
assail You. You cannot have conflict with
out being yonrsclvc sshc ayyressors. You
hare no oatlr,rcgistere in heaven to destroy
the G,ycrnn ,at, while have the mo It sol-
c Mn one to pre- serve protect and defend it.
I an 10th to close We are not enemies,
but friends We must not be enemies. The
mystic chorl Of memory stretched from ev-i
cry battle field AMI patriot grave TO every
living heart and hcarthst me al over this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus Of tht
Union when again toucae /, as surely they.
will b., by the better angels Of our nature.
