crusade for the abolition of slavery, is, an
Abolitiouist of the worst sort and he
who votes for those who favor these things,
is. also ap .Abolitionist in practice, no
natter what his profession or his par
ty name may be. Whoever. is opposed to
these projects and votes accordingly, and
is for the Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was, is a truly loyal citizen,
whether he fights secession rebels in the
field or Abolition rebels at the ballot box.
And now, men of Montgomery, if you
desire that the rebellion at the South shall
be suppressed, that the Confederate ar
mics shall be dissolved, and that the Con-
stitution shall be maintained, the Union
restored, and all laws obeyed, unite with
me at the ballot box in speedily and for
ever crushing out the execrable Adolf
ton rebellion in the North and West. ri
Whoever feels it his duty to fight arm
ed rebels at the South, let him enlist at
once let him not buy up substitute,
but go himself Whoever remains at
home, it is his duty to join with me
against Abolition rebels in our midst
This is loyalty-this is fidelity to the
Union. d. .... .-.a. t.g I'll .s,gG III!
The hour of trial and Of yindication
will soon come. The GREAT HEREAFTER
is at hand. In six months repeat it
in three months-in six weeks, it may be
sooner or later, come meantime what
may, the question will be ETERNAL SEP
GRAFTON OR THE UNION THROUGH COM
PROMISE Which will you then choose
NOT now, not yet for amid arms reason,
too, is silent; but when it does come 3
Come it will and then you must choose
between the Union which our fathers
made, or hopeless, cheerless, eternal and
belligerent disunion. I believe that the
Administration will declare for separation.
Then as now and ever, shall be for the
Union and against separation. Sir: the
choice must be made and made soon.--
We have already an enormous debt. A
thousand millions would not pay it. ~ We
spend three millions day. How long
can you stand that !? Our army Of six
hundred and thirty-seyen thousand last
January, has melted away to four hundred
thousand; and now three hundred thousand
more volunteers are demanded; ). and will
soon be in the field. Yet only fifteen months
ago, just seventy-fve thousand militia
were called out and the "insurgents" off,
cially commanded to dispense in twenty
days ! A government paper currency o.
hundreds of millions is upon us; and Q
taxation the most enormous and unjust
ever, levied upon any but conquered
people A tariff, too Of from forty-one
to one hundred and thirteen per cent. al
if to heap up the utmost measures of the
load, is now added. Stand in the door
way of your farmhouse and behold and
feel nothing, nothing not taxed, except the
air you breathe and the bright sunlight OF
starlight of heaven! And yet you mus
pay it to the utmost, farthing None but
madman ora traitor will talk of resis
lance or Reputation. 1t was mot so in
Democratic times. For sixty years thai
party governed the country in peace and
prosperity and with wisdom and soune
policy. 1Tryit again i am a party mar
more from conviction than inclination. -
There must be parties uuder every ifres
government, and f;there are not goodpap
ties, there will be bad ones and "wher
bad men combine, !" said Burke, agood
men associate. ~ Why did the Democrat
10 party always govern this country wise
ly and WE'LL and all other parties fail r.
Because our, institutions are Democratic
and the principles and policy Of the Dem,
,ocratic party are consistent with them
Just as piece of mechanism can only BIZ
made to work upon the principle or;theoty
ON which it is constructed. That lis lthl
philosophy Of the historic fact,a Butlths
Democratic party could not conduct ths
British government three months withoui
signal and disastrous failure. Letithe PEG
pie Ny these things to heart. Let then
restore the Democratic party9to power, i
i they would be rescued at last.I And
