A Page from the Record.

In 1856 John W. orney, now the lead
er Of the Republican party in Pennsylva-
mia, Was Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee, and issued an
address to the people, in which the fol-
loving eloquent passage occurred:
The adversarirs Of the Democratic party
have dissolved the American Union in
advance, 81 far as by their own action
they can cOnsummate that direiul result.
They can no longer assemble in National
Convention; they congreeate as the rep
'resentatives Of q fragment Of One-half Of
our happy country, and they arrogate to
themselves the mastery Of the other half
by attempting to consolidate fierce and
fanatical sectional majority 10 every de-
partment Of the Government. They de-
clare that the country is on the eve Of un-
precedented commissions, and they pro-
claim their purpose 10 arrest these con-
WILSON'S by ignoring and insulting fifteen
sovereign States Of the Union. They
talk Of peace, and in their own conven.
tons proclaim a policy which must end
in civil war. They appeal to Heaven to
Sanctify a movement which, il successful,
would destroy the fairestf fabric of freedom
on the globe. They invite our country
men TO support their cause in the midst
Of the most irreverent blasphemies of the
Constitution. They pirate Of exclusive
Amerlcanism, lille they accept as leaders
men who prOfane the sages Of the past
with inconceivable calunnics. But they
deserve credit for their boldnesS. They
do not attempt to conceal the fearful end
which, should they succeed, must crow
their efforts. True to the history Of all
sectional parties, they unite men, not by
n love OF country, but by hatred Of ma
tiOnal principles. Their bond Of action is
a sympathy Of antagoniSms-n a mar
mohy "f patriotic sentiments; aud tn
cOn>nmmate th"ir purposes they would
SacriIce every great material interest OF
society. They have already succeeded
in dividing the Christian Church, and
now they would lay their hands upon the
bulwarkS Of our liberties; they would
wrest the Constitution from the glorious
purpose to which II was dedicated by its
founders and they would erect at Wash
ington sectional deSpotisn whose pre-
siding divinitIrS would be hostility TO the
quality Of the States and the equality of
the citizens, and wage relentless war upon
the domestic institutions Of the South.
