the people coming to the rescue. The Com

bound, and not the league which meets in
the darkness of midnight to destroy the
| Constitution. Unless the course of Con-

shall have another civil war. 1t will not
| be between the North and South, but an
intern cine war. Then | ask you to come
| forward and prevent such deplorable re.
suit, by standing up for the Constitution OF
| your country.

| posed three cheers for the Union of thirty
six States, which were heartily given.
