The address of the Democrats Con.
gressmen to the people of the country
has been issued, and is signed bv
fourteen Senators and ninety-fiye mem
bers of the House. From the copclu.
ding portion Of the address the follow.
ing is extracted: Everything that
malicious ingenuity could suggest ha,
been done to irritate the people of the
Middle and Southern States. Grox
and exaggerated charges of disorder
and violence owe their origin to the
mischievous minds of the potential
managers in the Senate and House Of
Representatives, to which the Execu-
tive has, we regret to say, given his
aid, and thus helped to influence the
popular feeling in all this course Of
hostile legislation and harsh resent.
ment. No word of Cancellation, ofkipd
encouragement OF fraternal Fellowship,
has ever been spoken by the President
or by Congress. to the people oflhe
Southern States. They have been ad.
dressed only in the language of pro-
scription. We earnestly entreat our
. fellow citizens, of all parts of the
Union, to spare no effort to maintain
peace and order; to carefully protect
, the rights of every citizen; to preserve
f kindly relations among all men, and
to disconntenance ard discourage aH
violations of the rights of any portion
of the people, secured under the con-
! stitution or any of its amendments,
etc. In conclusion, we earnestly beg
of You not to aid the present attempts
9 of the Radical partizans to stir up
, strife in the land, to renew issues Of
, war, or to Obstruct the return of peace
, and prosperity to the Southern States;
because it is thus that they seem to
divert the attention of the country
!, from the corruption and extravaganza
I in their administration of public af-
fairs, and the dangerous and profit
gate attempt they are making towards
the creation of a centralized military
, government"
