mulgated ,ai set ;of principles subversive of
State aijaality and! Constitutional rights, they
‘ wore; met by a united Democratic party, burn
ing with the love of a common .country, and
enjoying the blessings of a wise government.
; The result was not long in doubt. Under a;
flag with not oho star stricken from tho glori
ous constellation, and a platform.of principles,
national and constitutional,, demanding the
equality of the Sthfos, the-rights of tho States, ,
and, the union of theSfates, they went forward
Ike men, knowing, the right and; might of a;
jmsf cause, 'tod smote the forehead of «a-trea
sonable a conspiracy as over threatened free,
government. The, defeat of Black Kepubli
canism-in 1856, was the.triumph Pf the Na
tional Constitutional Democratic patty,, over
the ’sectional,;fanatical, semi-infidel ideas of
Seward, Banks, Beecher, .Wendell Phillips,,
.Qorrit Smiths Theodore Parker, Ana itN-COiN,
and; all the.other high‘priests and' worships.,
pers.of thoir degraded,and degrading belief.
■Would to God the temple and the, idol had
[ mouldered together in the dust—would .that
the ides of November, 1856, had witnessed the
burial of the Black Republican party beyond
all resurrection L Then peace would have
flowed .as a river, and. the daetmy of our coun
try been fulfilled. But the year 1860 finds
the same treasonable party, with the same
sectional 1 flag, and the same unconstitutional
ideas, knocking loudly at the portals of our tern- -
plo, and seeking to lay their sacrilegious hands
on fho horns of the altar. Under the lead of a
man Whose younger years were devoted to the
laudable occupation of “rail-splitting,” and ■
whose maiturer yeara are as equally devoted to
the.splitting.of tho Uhiom; with “old l jStateLiN-'
coln” at their head, the incarnation of hatred
to the South and its rights, they, propose ano
ther crusade against law, equality.-tho Con
stitution and the Union. But Where is the
power that can Bay, “thus far shalt thou go,
but no farther 1”; Where is the parly of 1856,
that opposed! a barrier, pf lpy al hearts against
their treacherous assaults? ' Whore 1 is that
united body of then whose souls had biit .a.sinr
gle.thought? ‘Whero iB thatconfident.DpmQ

each other nbbut a miserable abstraction. Not
a-division lok principle,, for in the ,end; both
arrive at the same'conclusion, that on the for
mation of, a republican Constitution a State
may bo admitted with or without slavery, as
the people-choose—but a division ow a miser
able abstraction, as to the. prohibition or non
prohibition of slavery in the Territories. Nay,'
not oven that, for both wings claim to abide
by the decieion of the Supremo Court of the
United States on that question, if it lias been
made, or-whenever U may*he-.made.. Thus, for
a mere abstraction, they are periling tho
Constitutiomand the Union of the States; for
an abstraction, they are yielding tho “life, lib
■jorty, and tho pursuit of happiness” of thirty
five. millions of people, to the mere handful in
our territories; for'on abstraction, they are
turning back the hands on, the dial of our
greatness, which the sun may never see-move
forward again ; for .au abstraction, they are
demoralizing tfle Democratic party, until: it is
powerless for its noble instincts and sublime
destiny.. Away, then, with all abstractions,
and up wlth the banner of conciliation, mu
tual yioldingof opinions,, and Democratic fel
lowship. ; Fall back upon; tfle plaiform of our
State Convention, and say that, the prohibi
tion or non-prohibition of!' slavery ih i tllo- Ter

by the admission of all States into the Confed
eracy with or without sZaucn/—standby the
equality of the-States and the rights of the

do what tho Democratic-party has ever dbno,
maintain the federal' compact in its letter and
spirit, against attach from all' coiners. To

wisely used, to determine tho overthrow of
Lincoln and his subfclb-and; treacherous fol
lowers;.- The Democrati'e-parly-must not for
got its inspired!mission, in the-muddy pool of
man-worship-or man-hate; But, clinging to
its principles'and their ultimate' triumph, as
the- ShekinaK between constitutional liberty
and'State'sovereignty, they must guard them
from the vandal touch of sectional Black'Re
publicanism. For the accomplishment of, this
end in our.glorious .old Commonwealth,.the
"State Executive Committee” has offered an
olive branch—a fair and honorable offering,
which will be accepted by all who prefer'a
! triumph of Democracy to a triumph of sec
tionalism—who prefer a Democratic Douglas
or a Democratic-'BtackiNitinoi;, to-a- Black
Republican Lincoln. In the contingency
that is on us, there, is' no-time for outside
questions. The- over-reaching, all-absorbing
i qtfestion now is—7ioio- shall we save- the “old
Keystone" from the grasp, of Black Republic
, canism? We answer,' by standing fairly and
. unflinchingly by the compromise at tho head
ofour loading column. It will save the par
ty, it will save our State, and as , God i's our
: judge, wo believe it will save the country. As
the Blhclt Republican Opposition have made

Who are the ‘.‘Bloody Druses?”
;, Tho authors of tho bloody massacres of tho
Christians iu Syria, tho details of which, sent
a thrill of horror to tho civilized
world; arc describedpa principally a siidt of
the Mahommpdans, existing only in Syria;
Tboir narao is dotived from Daraai or Dursi,
who; as early as lOlSt, qameas w. missionary,
to them from anoff-shoot of the Moslem*stock.
SingM’arly enough, the Druses disavow any
belief in tho. peculiar doctrines of the- man.
whosp nnmo they bear, and do not hesitate .to
caff firm's hprotici'andto look upon- the* title
of. “.Druse” as a stigma. They themselves
trade their origin as a religious sect to Ham
id,- a wandering fanatic, who,in XB2O, persua
ded Hakom, a Caliph of Egypt to dcelare him
solf a .manifestation of God. ''Although the
Caliph was soon ■ assassinated, Hamsa oontim
