The Causes To Be Removed.

York seventh Regiment, one remark
made by General Cameron had pecu-
liar significance. He said that the
war would not close until the causes
which produced the contest had been
entirely removed.-Erchange.
That is better than we had been lie d
TO hope or expect from Mr.. Cameron.
The causes that produced the contest,
which has so unfortunately blasted the
happiness and prosperity of our coun-
try, are we'll known to every honest
and intellige reader. 1t assumed
threatening form in the shape Of nulli-
tication in South Carolina. twenty nine
years ago. and commenced in the North
Oh the eleventh day of February, 1909,
and reached its elimination on the first
day Of February, 1850, on the occasion
of Mr.. John P. Hale, introducing into
the Senate of the United States, the
following petition, praying dissolution
Of this Union: We, the Undersigned, in
habitants of Pennsylvania and Dele
ware, believing that the Federal Con-
stitution, in pied ging the strength of
the whole nation to support slavery,
violates the divine law. makes war up
on human rights, and is grossly incon-
sisten with Republican Principles,
that its attempt to unite slavery in one
body polite has brought upon the coun-
try great and manifold evils, and has
fully proved that no such Union can ex-
list but at the sacrifice of freedom to the
supremacy Of slavery, respectfully ask
you to devise and propose without de-
lay, some plan for the immediate peace
full dissolution Of the American Union
The Senators named below voted for
the reception Of this petitions: Hale: the
Abolitionist candidate for President in
1852, now Republican, Salmon p.
Chase. present Secretary Of the United
States Treasury, and VIM. II. Sew
ard Mr.. L;ncoln's Secretary of State.
On the c5th day of the same month,
Joshua R. Gildings. the father of the
Chicago platform, introduced the same
petition into the lower House of Con-
gress, and Allen, of Massachusetts,
Durkee, Of Wisconsin, Gildings and
Root, Of Ohio, Goodenow, of Maine,
How, of Pennsylvania, Julian, of Ind
lana and Preston King, of New York,
voted to receive it. They we're all dis
unionists then, and Republicans now.
By the terms of this petition they en-
phatically declared, that it was fully
proved, that this Union could not ex-
ist. And between the two causes, null
lifcation at the South: and Abolition
ism ia the North, the country is now
in arms. and the Government engaged
in an intestine war. Which of the two
causes have been the most productive
Of mischief! We will not consider at
this time. Abolitionism is much the
oldest: but they are both alike obnox-
ious, and dangerous to the peace and
stability of the Union, and if Mr. Cam
eron was honest and sincere when he
said that the war would not close until
the causes which produced the contest
had been entirely rcmoved,' we have
the satisfaction of knowing that the
Abolitionists will share the same fate
ofthe Secessionists; then let US have
no halfway work; let us have policy
mastery, firm and determined, and i!
the Government would have peace on
durable basis, the two causes must nec-
essarily be removed. Fort Madison
