Union with a fixed and unaltered determina-
ton to stand by 1t, we find the counterpart or
duplicate of the same spirit that played to this
feeling and these persons in the South. This
extreme, which stands .ip the way, must get
out of it. The Government must stand I'M
shaken and unmoved upon its basis. This
thatall the people of this country, in good
faith and in the fulhess of their hearts, will,
upon the principles which you have enuncia-
ted here to-day, for the maintenance of the
Union, lay aside every other feeling for the
good of the common country, and with up
lifted faces to Heaven swear that our gods
and our affairs and all shall sink in the dust
together, rather than this glorious Union shall
be destroyed. IApplause.l am gratified to
find the loyal sentimentsof the country mani
testing itself in these expressions, and now
that the attempt to- destroy the Union has
failed at one end of the line, l trust we shall
so on determined to preserve the Union in its
original purity against all opposers.2Ta1u.fr

bition has been fully reached; yea, more than
