National Union Convsntion.
ANstionsl Union Convsntsoa; Of st least
two delegates from each congressional dis
trict of.sll the ststes, swo from each Terri
tary, two from the iDistrictof Columbia, and
four delegates iat largs from each State, will
be held II the city Of Philadelphia, on the
second Tuesday (i4th) Of August next f'
Such delegates will be chosen by the cleo
tors Of the several States who sustain the
Administration in maintaining unbroken the
union Of the States under the Constitution
which our fathep established, and who
agree In the following propositions, viz:
The union Of the States is, in every case,
indissoluble, and is perpetual and the Con-
stitution Of the United States, and the laws
passed by Congress in pursuance thereof,
supreme and constant, and universal IN their
obligation;
The rights, the dignit, .,d the equality Of
the States in the Union, hcluding the right
Of representation IN Congress, are solemnly
guarantesS by that Constitution, to save
which from overthrow so much blood and
treasure were expended in the late civil war;
There is no right, anywhere, to dissolve
the Union, or to separate States from the
Union, either by voluntary withdrawal, by
force Of arms, or by congressional action
neither by the secession Of the States, nor by
the exclusion OF their loyal and qualified
representatives. nor by the national Govern
ment IN any other form;
Slavery Is abolished, and neither can, nor
ought to be, re-established in any State or
Territory within our jurisdictions;
Each State has the undoubted right to pre-
scribe the qualifications of its own electors,
and no external power rightfully can, or
ought to, dictate, control, or influence the
free and voluntary action Of the States in the
exercise Of that right; ..l
The maintenance inviolate OF the rights Of
the States, and especially Of the right Of each
State 70 order and control its own domestic
concerns, according to its own judgment ex-
clusively, subject only to the Constitution
Of the United States, is essential to that bal
ance Of power on which the perfection and
endurance Of our political fabric depend, and
the overthrow Of that system by the usurpa-
tion and Capitalization Of power in Congress
would be revolution, dangerous to repub-
ican government and destructive OF liberty /;
Each House Of Congress is made, by the
Constitution, the sole Judge Of the elections,
returns and qualifications Of its members;
but the exclusion Of loyal Senators and Rep
sentatises, properly chosen and qualified,
under the Constitution and laws, is unjust
and revolutionary; -"
Every patriot should frown upon all these
acts and proceedings everywhere, which can
serve no other purpose than to rekindle the
animosities Of war, and the effect Of which
upon our moral, social and material interests
at home, and upon our standing abroad, diff
fering only in degree, is injurious like warit
self .9
The purpose Of the war having been to
preserve the Union and the Constitution by
putting down the rebellion, and the rebellion
having been suppressed, all resistance to the
authority Of the General Government being
at an end and the war having ceased, war
measures should also cease, and should be
followed by measures Of peaceful administra-
tion, go that union, harmony and concord
may be encouraged, and industry, commerce.
and the arts Of peace revived and promoted;
and the early restoration Of all the States TO
the exercise Of their constitutional'powers in
the National Government is indispensably
necessary to the strength and the defence Of
the Republic, and to the maintenance Of the
public credit;
All such electors in the thirty-six States
and nine Territories Of the United States, and
in the District Of Columbia, who in spirit
of patriotism and love for the Union, can rise
above personal and sectional considerations,
and who dysire to see truly National Union
Convention, which shall represent all the
States and Territories OF the Union, assem-
Bile. as friends and brothers, under the nation
al flag, tolhoid counsel together upon the state
OF the Union, and to take measures TO avert
possible danger from the same, are speedily
requested TO take part in the choice OF such
But no delegate will take o seat in such
Convention who does not loyalty accept the
national situation and cordially endorse the
principles above set forth, and who is not at
tached, in true allegiance, TO the Constitu.
ton. the Union, and the Government Of the
United States. s....-
