people the So1th. We demand for hem
what we demai for ourseIves-thT full
recognition Of he rights of the S tates.
We mean that any State on our nations

lu5tre. In the coming election mcn must
decide with wl:h Of the two partie: -.into
which our Pe"pe are divided, they will
act If they wish for union they viii act
with that,partr which will hold the Union
together. Thsy will act with that party
which does nov, and always did, lore and
reverence the Union. If they wish for
peace they vii act with these who sSugh
to avert this war, or who now seek + re-
s4ore good will among all sections Of our
country. Ifihey care for their rights and
Tor the sacrcdGcss Of their homes, thev will
act with those who have stood up to resist
arbitrary arrests, despotic Legislation and
the oVerthrog Of the Judiciary. If, upon
the other hand, they are willing to cgntin-
lie the prescI; policy Of the Government
and conditio.l Of affairs, let them act with
thas organization which made the present
condition Ofmr country. There are many
good men VINO will be led to do Nlis by
their passion, and prejudices, aud our land
swarms wI,& l.lacemen who will hold on
TO power win " 1"gdly grasp. But, as
for us, we arcresOlved n.at the party which
mas made th,Sistory of our conntrt, since
is advent tC p6wer, seem like some unna-
tural and terrible dream, shall he over
thrown. FoHr, years ago it had its birth
upon this spot Let us see that by cnr ac-
tinn it shall die here, where it was born.
We desire Union and peace. The admin
istratiOn deny Us Union and peace, for
they demand conditions and exact price
which they know will prolong the war;
and war undUly prolonged becomes dis
union. Wise craftsmanship can now bring
this war to crse upon the terms solemn
ly set forth by the government at the out
set of the onntO:t.s In the political contest
in which We are engaged, we do not seek
partisan advantages. We are battling for
the nights of thse who belong to all politi-
cal organizations We mean that their
rights of spcech,hal be unimpeached, al
fhOHgh that righmay be used to denomce
us. We iuten that the rights Of con-
science shall beprptected, although mis-
taken views of dtylmay turn the temples
of religion into lep ptres for partisan de-
nunc;ations. Wdnean that home rights
and the sacrcdnc' q the tireSNe shall be
