WASHINGTON, Ju'y s,-The address by the Dem
ocratic members in Congress is as follows:
ITO the People Of the United States:
Dangers threaten the Constitution. The cit
adel Of our liberties is directly assaled. The
future is dark unless the people will come to the
rescue. In the hour of peril, National Union
Should be the watchword of every true man. As
essential to the national Union, we must main
tain unimpaired the rights, the dignity and
the equality Of the States, including the
right Of representation in Congress and
the executive right Of each State to control its
own concerns, subject only to the Constitution Of
the United States. After uniform construction
of the Constitution for more than half a century
the assumption Of new and arbitrary powers in
the federal government is subversi7e of our sys-
TEN and destructive of liberty. A free Interchange
of opinion and kind feeling between the citizens of
all the States necessary to the perpetuity of the
Union. At present eleven States are excluded
from the national councils. For seven long months
the present Congress has persistently denied any
right of representation to the people of those
States Laws affecting their highest and deares
interests have been passed without their consent,
and in disregard to the fundamental principles of
free government. This denial Of representation
has been made to all the members from State,
although the State, in the language of the Presi-
dent, presents itself not only in attitude Of 10y
atty and harmony, but through representatives
whose loyalty cannot be questioned under any ex-
listing constitutional legal test. The representa-
tives of nearly onethird of the States have not been
consulted with reference to the great questions
the day. There has been no nationality surround
ing the present Congress. There has been no in
tercourse between the representatives of the two
sections producing mutual confidence and res
,e+ a. 4 had liant
General it is to be regretted that at this time there
cannot be greater cOmmingEtng between the citi-
zens Of the two sections, and particularly of those
entrusted with the aw-rnaking power. This state
| Of things should be removed at once and forever.
Therefore, to preserve the national Union, to Vndi-
cate the sufciepcy of our admired Constitution to
guaFd the States from covert attempts to deprive
them of their true position IN the Union, and to
bring together those who are unHaturally severed,
and for those great national purposes only :,
We cordially approve the call for a Eatona
p, Union Convention, to be held at the city
Philadelphia, on the second Tuesday, the
14th day of August tnext and
dorse the principles therein set forth. We
therefore respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon
our citizens in each State, Territory and Congress
sona District in the United States in the interests
of the Union, and in spirit of harmony, and with
direct reference to the principles contained in said
call to act promptly in the selection of wise +,
moderate and conservative men to represent them
il said convention, to the end that all the States
shall at once be restored to their practical rela
tions to the Union that the Constitution shall be
maintained, and peace bless the whole country"
