ADDRESS
Of Dtmocratic Members of Congress to
the Dcmocnici of the United States.
jVellow Civiukxs : Tho perilous con
dition of our country demands that we
should reason together, l'urty organisa
tion, restricted within proper limits, is a
positive good, and indeed essential to the
preservation of public liberty. Without
it the best Government would sqou degen
erate intc tho wcrst of .tyrannies. In des
potism tho chief use of power is in crush
ing out party opposition. In our own
country tho experience of tho last twelve
mouths proves, more than any lesson in
history, tho necessity of party orgauiza-
tion. Ilio present Administration was
chosen by a party, and in all civil acts
aud appointments has recognized, and
still docs, its fealty and obligations tc that

party. There must and will be au opno-

Why should it? Are its ancient princi
ples wrong? What aio thoy? Let itj
platlorms lor tnu ty jcars speah. :
JLeso.vcd, That the American Democ-
racy place their trust in tho iutclligenpe,

tice If the A.neiican people. J

der whatever uauie or form, which seeks Senators invited tho eueiny to "greet our
to palsy tho will of tho constituent, "nd volunteers with bloody hands aud wel-
w non conceives no imposture too mou-
strous for tho popular credulity
"That tho Federal Governmont is one of!
liiujted power, derived solrly from tho Con-.
stitutiou; and tlio grants ot powar mauo
therein ought to be strictly construed by
oil tlm ilnrmrhnmita and acents ot the UOV-
eminent; and that it id expedient aud
dangerous to exercise doubtful constitu
tional powers."
And as explanatory of theso tho follow-
in" from Mr. Jcfforscn'8 first inaugural:
" I ho support of tho Stato Governments
in all their rights ns tho most competent
admiuistratious of our domcstio conecrus
and the surest bnlwork against anti re
publican tendencies.
"The prcforvatlon of tho General Gov
ernment in its wholo constitutional vigor

and safety abroad.
"A jealous caro of tho right of olcction
.1- ' t r-1
"Tho Supremacy of tho civil over the
military authority.
"Economy in the publio expense, that
labor may. bo lightly burdened.
"Tho honest payment of our debts and
sacred preservation of publio faith.
"I'rcouom of Religion, trccdoin ot tho
Press, and frocdom of person under tho
protection of tho Habeas Corpus, and trial
by juries impartially selected.''
Such, Democrats, aro tho principles of
your party, essential to public liberty and
to the stability and wiso administration of
tho Government, uliko in poaeo and war.
They aro tho principles upon which tho
Constitution and tho Uuiou were founded ;
and, under tho control of a party which
adhoros to them, tho Constitution would
bo maintained and tho Union could not
bo dissolved
Is tho policy of tho Democratic party
wrong that it should bo disbanded?
Its policy i3 consistent with its princi
ples, and may bo summed up, from tho
beginning, us follows: Tho support of
liberty as against power; of tho people as
against their agents and servants; aud of
Stuto rights r.s against consolidation and
. L it ,- . .
oeutraiizca ucspccisiii; a simple govern
ment; no publio debt; low taxes; no high
protective tariff; no general system of in
terual improvements by Federal authority;
110 National Dank; hard money for the
Federal public dues; no assumption of
State debts; expansion of territory; self
government for tho Tarritories, subject
only to tho Constitution; tho absolute
compatibility of a union of tho States, 'part
slave and part free;" the admission of new
States, with or witnout slavery, as thoy
may elect; non-iuterfcrenco by tho Feder
al Government with slavery in Stato aud
Territory, or in the District of Columbia;
and; iiually, as set forth in the Cincinnati
Platform, in 18f0, and reafUrmcd ill 1800
I'.bsclutc and eternal "repudiation of all
sectional parties and platforms concerning
domestic slavery which seeks to embroil
the States aud incite to treason and armed
resistance to law in the Territories, and
wlwse avowed purpos-s, if consummated
imiU end in civil war and ihsunion.''
Such was tlio ancient and tho recent
policy of the Democratic party, running
through a pericd of sixty years a policy
consistent with the principL-s of the Con
stitution, and absolutely essential to tho
preservation of the Union.
Does the history of the Democratic par
ty prove that it ought to ho abandoned ?
''By their fiuits shall yo know them."-

Suoh wero tho ohoico fruits of Demo
cratio principles and policy, earned out
through tho wholo period during whioh
tho Democratic party held tho power and
administered tho Federal Government.
such has been tho history of that party.
It is a Union party, for it preserved tho
Union, by wisdom, ponce, and compromise,
for more than half a century.
Then neither tho anciont principles, tho
polioy, nor the past history of tho Demo
cratic party rcquiro nor would justify its
disbandiiicut.
Is thero any thing in the present crisis
which demands it ? Tho more immediate
issue is, to maintaiu tho Constitution as it
is, and to restore the Union as it was.
To maintain the Constitution is to re
spect .tlio rights of tho States and tho lib
erties of tho ciiizen. It is to adhoro faith
fully to tho very principles and polioy
which tho Democratic party has professed
for more than half a century. Let its
history, and tho results, from tho begin
ning, prove whether it has practised them.
Wo appeal proudly to the record.
Tho first step towards a restoration of
tho Union as it was is to maintain the
Constitution as it is. bo onr as it
was
maintained in fact, and not threatened
with infraction in spirit and in letter, ac
tual or imminent, tho Union was unbro
ken. To rcstoro tho Union, it is csscntirj,
first to givo assurance to every State
and to tho people of every section that
their rights and liberties and property
will bo secure within the Union under the
Constitution. Vhat assurance so doubly
sure as the restoration to power of that
ancient organized consolidated Democratic
party which for six years 77 secure tho
property, riglit3 and liberties of the Stato
and of the people ; and thus did niaintaiu
the Constitution and preservo the Union,
and with them tlio multiplied blessings
which distinguished us abpve all other
nations?
To restore tlio Union is to crush out
sectionalism North and South. To begin
the groat work of restoration through tho
ballot-box is to kill abolition. Tho bitter
waters of secession flowed first and arc
led still from tho uneloan fountain
abolitionism. That fountain must bo
dried up. Annies may break down the
power rf the Confederate Govcrumeut in
the South ; but tho work of restoration
can only bo carried on through political
organization and the ballot in tho Nortli
anil Wot. In this great work we cordi
ally invite thu eo oper.itiou of1 all men of
every party who are opposed to the fell
sPirit o1' abolition, and who, in sincerity,
vo the Constitution as it is and the
I t r ... .1... ...... 1
union iu n was. iiei uiu uuau past, uury
its dead, ltally, lovers of the Uuion, tho
Constitution, and of liberty to the standard
of the Democratic party, already in the
field and confident of victory. That party

which represents the Government, tho

In this sense tho Democratic party lias
always sustained, and will now sustain,
the government against all foes, at home
or abroad, in the Nortli or the South, open
or concealed, in offico or out of office, in
peace or in war.
If this is what the Republioan party mean
by supporting thoGovernnicnt,it is an idlo
thing to abandon the old and tried Demo
cratic party, which for so many years and
through so many trials supported, preset
ved, and maintained tho Government of
the Union. Dut if their real purpose bo

Democratic party will resist them as the
worst enemy to tho Constitution and tho
Union, and to freo government every

Wo do not pioposo to consider now the
causes which led to the present uuhappy
civil war. A fitter time will come hero
after for such discussion JJut wo lcmind
you now that co.Ml'iiOMtSE inado your
Union, and coMriiOMisu fifteen months
ago would havo saved it. Repeated efforts
were made at the last session of tho Thirty-sixth
Congress to this end. At every
stage, the great mass of tho South, with
tho wholo Democratic party, and the
whole Constitutional Union party, of the
North aud West, united in favor of certain
amendments to tho Constitution and chief
among them, tho well-known "Crittenden
Propositions," which would hava averted
civil war and maintained the Union At
every stago, all proposed amendments in
consistant with the t'cptioual doctrines of
the Chicago Platform were strenuously and
unauimously resisted and defeated by the
Republican party. Tho "Oritti-ndcii i"rop-

to the Congressional Globe
We seom to reply to the charge that
the Democratic party is opposed to graut

and constitutional supremacy, and in favor
of disbanding our armies aud succumbing

by tho Constitutiona right inostimatle
it is now,
Unquestionably tho Constitution gives
ample power to tho several Departments
of tho Government to carry on war, strict
ly subject to its provisions', and, in caso of
civil war, with perfect security to citizens
of tho loyal States. Every act necessary
for tho safety and efficiency of tho Gov
ernment, and for a somplctc and most vig
orous trial of its strength, is yot wholly
consistent with the observance of every
provision of that instrument, and of the
laws in pursuance of it, if tho sole motives
of those' in power were tho sup prcssi'on of
tho "rebellion," and no moro. And yet
tho history of tho Administration for tho
twelve months past has been and contin
ues to bo a history of repeated usurpations
of power and of violations of the Consti
tution, and of the publio and private rights
of the citizen. For tho proof wo appeal to
facts too recent to need recital hero, and
too flagrant and hincous for the calm nar
rative which wo propose. Similar act
wero .done and a like policy pursued in
the threatened war with France in the
time of John Adams, and with tho same
ultimate purpose. But in two or three
years the people forced them into an hon
orable peace with France, rebuked the
excesses and abuses of powcrx vindicated
the Constitution, and turned over tho Fed
eral Government to -the principles aud
policy of the Dcuiocratio party. To the
"sober second thought of tho people,''
therefore, and to tho ballot-box,' we now
appeal when again in like peril with our
fathers.
But if every Democrat concurred in the
policy of prosecuting tho war to tho utter
subjugation of tho South and for tin sub
version of her Stato Governments with her
institutions', without a Convention of the
States, and without an ovortruo for peace,
we should just as resolutely resist tho dis
banding of the Democratic party. It li
the only party capable of carrying on a
war; it is the only party which has ever
conducted a war to a successful issue, and
the. only party which has done it without
abuse of power, without molestation to tho
rvLts of any class cf 'c.itiicuaj 'and with
duo regard to economy. All this it has
done ; all this, if need bo, it is able to do
again. If success, then in a military point
of view be required, the Democratic party
alone can ccmmandit.
To conclude : Inviting all men, without
distinction of Stato, section, or party, who
aro for the Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was, to unito with us in this
great work upon terms of perfectly equal

Wo Dud tho following in a Republican
paper i
"Two Questions. 'Occasional,' wri
ting to the Philadelphia ta, asks (tlio
following questions : 'Have you over
Jbcard a Sccecsionist talk politics who did
not claim to bo a Democrat ? Hnvo you
ever lmard a sympathizer with "Secession
talk politics who 'did not beast of lii's" Do
mocraoy?" ' ' ' " '
'This tells too muoh, becauso if this io
tho faot, the question becomes significant:
What is this war about? If there is no war
nor even contention between the Southern
and Northern Democrats, then who brought
on the war and wiia.t is It for? If -tiis' ia
purely a Kcpublican or Abolition war,
brought on to free tho ncgrpes, the noouer
it is known tho better. If the above a'vow
al.ofCoI. Forney (a Colonel in timo of
peace) is true iu tho senso ho and his co
adjutors assort it, then tho blood and
trcasuro now flowing ao freely lio at the
door of tho Republican party, and thoy
and thoy alono aro rcsponsiblo for it. Aro
ihey willing to bo held in that light beforo
tho world? Aro they ' willing that tho
monstrous crimo of destroying tho "besi
Government on earth" shall wholly rcsi
upon their own shoulders? If tho Demo
crats of tho South and the Democrats of
the North have a coiaincn sympathy, then
tne war surely is not between them, for
men whp sympathize with eaeo other, sets
tie their difficulties without blood and
public debts'. '
If this is truo, as Eaid by Col. Forney,
one of the Republican official pets, then
all that is wanting to restore tho Govern
ment to its former harmony, greatness
and success, is the putting out of office th6
Republicans, and putting in their places
good, sound, old-fashionod constitutional
Democrats. ' '
By this admission of Col. Forney and
his Republican friends, the war would havo
no cause of continuance if tho Democrats
were in power, because hero would bo a
sympathy of feeling which would harmon
ize and sottlo dur'aational troubles. This
is important, coming from that quarter,
and is worthy of the most serious consid
eration. We always havo believed and.
asserted that h ad tho Republicans been
defeated in 18C0, no odds how or whom
wc could not havo had any war, but thaju
all our sectional differences would havo
been healed and our nation stood forth,
stronger and moro prosperous than over.
It is now becoming perfectly apparent
that unless there can bo made a rapid
change of public sentiment, and a general
triumph of the old Democracy, with to
old laud marks of tho Constitution for
their guide, our country is lost irretriov
ably lost and our national misfortunes
only begiuuiug to show themselves. Our
condition is bad enough now,v,with disor
