rasignasian ~ Chairman aT sAs Stat
| Union Central COMMITTEES, fer reasons
| therein given. At the urgent request oI
Isonae friends of the Union movement, j
fsssuctan;ly consented to Withhold the
EpabiiaaEion Of my letter of resignation
until after the Meeting of the Democrat
is State Gaaveatiosy in order TO sae if the
Democracy would not by . true, censer-
Eatiye course, snpercede the necessity Of
| q third political party organization. OF
| this never entertained the least shadow
Of q doabt nysalfs but others have lass
faith, and IN Difference to THAR, wish
consented. Well, the Democracy has
held their convention, and thank God
they have most nobly met the most saa-.
game hopes Of the whoie Uaiea army OF
his Stase--haYe given such a. iapstaa
70 The cause OF Constitutional Hbcrty-
have so fully, clearly and nnmiasakaoiy
indicated themselves frgm the vile slaa-
.
il GoFernmens-have proEen their entire
and undying devotion 10 the Union and
Constitution as our fathers made them,
and hare taken such re-eminensly high
gF0and in favor Of the only policy wkich
can restore peace to eur distFaesed, strife
riven, and blood stained eoansry, thai |
should feel myself guilty of treason TO
principle, treason to my country, treason
70 mankind, and sraaaon TO my tod, we're
t1 use my influence, humble as il is, TO
distract the counsels or divide the efforts
OF the only party that can save my coun-
try frons becoming a fearful wreck, and
prey to those oiieial aeounarels who are
sporting and triaing wiGh the dearest in
terests Of the people.
Without stopping to discuss the pro-
prdety or imprJpraety Of the late Union |
movements or even Specializing at the
probable course sf the republican abo-
lltloa party, l'shsrsby and Asrsor'' for
nialLly resign iag pusieiun So Chairman Of |
the Union State Central Committee, and |
sever my connection with an organisation |
whose aims were praiseworthy, bat whose |
efforts were injurious 70 the State, as it |
only served 10 divide and weaken the |
phdLan< who in divided state cannot |
breast the surges of fanaticism which /
have wcll nign obliterated the pIainess
landmark of constitutional liberty. To T
my Union friends permit nae to express /
the fond hope that while withdraw from
the Union organization, il will only be
a technical change. In principles stand
where have ever stood, where vou all
,tand-then may not hope that you will
unite With me In restoring TO power that
party which alone can save this country /
rom utter annihlIation.
The Democratic Convention which met
lere on yesterday WAS the largest, most
aud SUCCESSFUL one thai has
.Far convened In this State. The tflas-
orm Of principles is perfect snccess, IA
ligh-toned loyalty, deep, fervid, uDcon-
