No natural causes embroiled tho Nortli and tho South.

Rut an artificial cause of dissension was found in thc position of tho African raco ; and tbo ascendency In tho national counciU of men pledged to an aggressive and uncon fctitutional Abolition policy, has brought our country to tbo condition of "tho house divided against itself." Tho danger to tho Union began whero statesmen had foreseen it ; it brgan in the triumph of a tcctional party, founded on principles of revolutionary hostility to tho Constitution and lho laws. Tho leaders of this party woro pledged to a conflict with rights re cognized and sheltered by tho Constitution. They called this conflict "irrepressible ;" and whenever ono party is determined to attack what another U detennied to defend, a conflict cau always bo inadj "irrepressi ble." Thoy counted on an easy triumph through thc aid of iusurgeut slaves, and, in this reliance, wcro careless how soon thoy provoked a collision. Democrats and Conservatives strove to avert thc roullict- Thoy saw that Union was tho paramount interest of their country, and thoy stood by thc great bond of Union, lho Constitu tion of tho United HtatcH. Thoy wcro content to lcavo debatablo questions under it to tho high tribunal framed to decide them ; thoy preferred it to thc sword as an arbiter between lho States; thoy strovo hard to tnctit tho title which their oppo nonts gavo them in scorn tho title of "Union-savers."

Oa this point tho testimony of Mr. Doug will "sfn-"., lie paid ; or exercised under tho Prcsidont of tho United States ;" and such authority was diclarcd to bo a full dofodco for the wrong doer in any action, civil or criminal. Tho American Executive is, aB tho word im ports, tho executor of tho duly enacted laws. Yet tho pretension is made that his will can tako the place of tho laws. Tho liberty, tbo character of every citizen, ia put at the mercy of now functionaries called ''provost marshals." Secret accusa tion before these officials takes the place of open hearing beforo a lawful magistrate, and no writ of hubcaits corpus may inquire the oauso of tho arrest. To illegal ar rests havo been added the mockery of a trial of a private citizen fur his political opinious bofore a court-martial, ending in tho infliction of a ucw and outrageous penalty, invented by tho President of tho United States. Wo need not comment upon acts like theso. Tho President of tho United Statos has no authority, in peaco or war to try, cveii nn oulisted sold ier by court-martial, save by virtue and in strict conformity with the military law laid down in tho act of Congress "estab lishing rules and articles for, tho govern ment of thc armies of tho United States1" Yet by his proclamation of September 21th, 1802, ho has assumed to make all citizens amenable to military courts. He has violated tho great principle of frco government, on which Washington con ducted the war of thc Revolution, and Madison thc war of 1812 tho principle of thc subordination of tho military to thc civil power. IIo has assumed to put ''martial law," which is tho rule of forco at a spot whero all laws aro silenced, in tho placo of civil justice throughout tho land, and has thus assailed, in soma of the States, even thc freedom of the ballot-box. Thcso are not occasional acts, done in hasto, or heat, or ignorance ; but a ucw system of government put in thc place of that ordained and established by the peo ple. That thc Queen could not do what he cotVjd, was Mr. Seward's boast to thc British Minister. The "military arrests" of Mr. Stanton received the "hearty com mendation" of the Convention thatrcnom iuated Governor Curtin ; and it plodged him and Ilia party to 'hearty co-operation in such acts of thc administration in future Such ia tho degrading platform ou which a candidate for Ohuf Magistrate of Pcnn sylvania stands beforo her people. These prctcusions to arbitrary power gives omin ous significance to a late change in our military establishment. Tho time-honored American system of calling on tho answer to citizens of Louisiana who dc sired tho return of that Stato under its present Constitution. Mr. Lincoln post poned thorn till that Constitution shall bo amended. Thc Abolitionists desiro tho war to last till freedom is secured to all tbo slaves. Ilordos of politicians, and contractors, and purvoyors, who fatten on tho war, desiro it to last forever. When tho slaves aro all emancipated by thc Fed eral arms, a constant military intervention will bo needed to keep theni abovo or oqual with tho white race in tho Southern States. Peaco has no placo in their plat form. It proclaims confiscation and abo lition as lho 'objects of tho war, and tho Southern leader catches up thc words to stimulates his followers to fight to tho last. It is uot tho interest of Pennsylvania that a fanatical faction shall pcrvort and protract tho war, for ruinous, perhaps un attainable ends. What tho North neede is tho roturn of tho South, with its peoplo, its territory, its staple to complete thc integrity of our common county. This, and not mere devastation and social con- tho unconditional aims of tho Abolitionists substituted for tho original objects of tho war. Thoy havo scon with indignation many gallant soldiers of the Union driven from its scrvico, bcoauso they havo not bowed down to tho Abolition idol. Thoy will sco with horror tho war protracted iu order to eccuro thoAriumph of a party platform, or, as Mr. Ohandlor said, "to Havo tho Republican party from rupturo. The timo is now at hand when lho voico of tho pcoplo will bo hoard. Tho over throw of lho Abolitionists at tho polls and thc rc-cstablishmcnt of constitutional prin ciples at thc North is tho first, tho indis pensable step toward tho restoration of tho Union and thc vindication of civil liborty. To this great scrvico to his country each citizen may contributo by his vote. Thus tho pcoplo of tho North may thomselvcs extend tho Constitution to thc people of lho South. It would not bo a specious offer of politicians, to bo observed with no bet ter faith than thc resolutions of July, '01. It would bo a return to tho national policy of tho better days of tho Republic, through the intelligence of the pcoplo, enlightened by experience. It would strengthen tho Governmont ; for a constitutional Govern' scrupulous care, discriminates tho powers delegated to tho General Government from those reserved ''to the States re spectively, or to tho people." And lot it bo noted, that in spoaking of tho powers so delegated and reserved, wo refer to no vaguo doctrines or pretensions, but to tho clear provisions of tho written instrument which it is tho duty of every citizen, aud especially of overy public functionary, to States for drafts from their militia, has rejected the judgment of tho Supremo Couit, who scorned conciliation and com promise, and who looked to a "little blood letting'' to cement tho American Union. Till this time, the Union men of tho South had controlled, with littlo u.fficulty, tho small but restless class among them who desired a scparato nationality. Tho sub stantial interests of tho South, especially the slaveholdinp; iutorest, wero drawn reluctantly into secession. General F. P. Blair, of Misssuri, an eminent Republican, said very truly, in last Congress : "Every man acquainted with tho facts knows that it is fallacious to call this 'a slaveholders' rebellion.' A closer scrutiny demonstrates the contrary to be true; such a scrutiny demonstrates that tho rebellion originated chiefly with tho nou-slavoholders rosident in the strong holds of tlio institution, uot springing, however, from any lovo of slavery, biit from au antagonism of raco and hostility to the idea of equality with tho blacks in volved in simple emancipation." It was tho triumph of tho Abolitionists ovefthe Democrats and Conservatives of tho North, that secured a liko triumph to tho secessionists over tho Union inon of tho South. Thc John Brown raid was taken as a practioal exposition of thc doo- trlno of ''irrcprcssiblo conflict," Tho ex ultation over its momontary success, tho lamentation over its failuro, had been swelled by tho Abolitionibts, so as to socin a general expression of Northern feeling. Riots and rescues had nullified tho con. stitutional provision for tho return of fugi tives. The falio prctonoe that slavery would monopolize tho territories, when wc had no territories iu which it could cxis"t, had been used as a mcaus of oonstunt agi tation against slavory in tho Southorn States. A plan of attack upon it had been pub liahed in "Helper's Book," formally on respect and maintain. Tho protection of j American liberty agaiust tho cucroach ments of centralization was left to the States by tho framors of tho Constiiution. Hamilton, tho most indulgent of them to Federal power, says : "It may bo safely been replaced by a Federal conscription , on thc model of European despotisms. Wc would not minister to the excitement which it has caused among men of all parties. Its constitutionality will be tested beforo thc courts. If adjudged to be received as an axiom iu our political sys- within thc power of Congress, tho pcoplo tern, that thc Stato Governments will, in will decide on the propriety of a stretch of all possible contingencies, afford complelo power on which thc British Parliament security against invasions of public liborty , styled omnipotent has never ventured. by tho national authority." ho can be On this you will pass at tho polls, and the blind to tho consequences that havo fol- nexl Congress will not bo deaf to the voico lowed the departuro from the truo prill- 0f tuc pCOplo.

Tho dignity of our Common wealth has been insulted in the outrages perpetrated upon her citizens. At Phila delphia and at Harrisburg, proprietors of newspapers havo been seized at midnight and hurried off to military prisons bcyoud tho limits of tho Stato. Against acts liko theso, perpetrated beforo tho eyes of tho municipal and Stato authorities, there is neither protection nor redress. Tho eoizurc of a journal ut West Chester was afterwards tho subjcot of a suit for dam ages in tho Supremo court of Pennsylvania. It camo to trial beforo Chief Juslico Low rio. Rehearsing tho ancient principles of English and American justice, ho con demned tho acts of tho Federal cflioors as violations of thc law that binds aliko tho private citizen and tho public functionar ies. Ho said, "all publio functionaries in this land aro uudcr tho law, and nono, from tho highest to the lowest, aro them will vat tlio responsibility of au at tempt at revolution, of which no man can forcsco tho consequences or tho end. But in now addressing you upon thc political issues of tlio'limes, wc asjuuio that tho in stitutions of our country arc destined to endure. Thc approaching clcotiou derives furthor importance from tho influence it will exer cise upon tho polioy ol tho Government. The aim of men not blinded by fanactisism and party spirit would bo to rcariho best fruit from tho victories achieved by our gallant armies tho best fruit would bo peaco fusion, would bo tho aim of patriots and statesmen. Tho Abolition polioy promises us nothing belter than a Southern Poland, ruled by a Northern Despotism. Bul history is full of examples how wiso rulers have assuaged civil discor'd by moderation and justice, whilo bigots end despots, re lying solely ou force, have been baffled by focblo opponents. That a tompcrato conttitutional policy will fail, in our case, to reap tho fruit of suoceas in arms, cannot bo known till it is tried. Tho times are critical. France, under a powerful and ambitious monarches entering on tho scene, willing again to play an important part in an American revolution. Tho English Government is hostile to U3 ; it has got all it wanted from abolition, and will have nothing more to do with it. Tho secession leaders, and tho presses under their con trol, opposo reunion, preferring, perhaps, even an humble dependence upon European powers. But from many parts of the South, and across the picket lines, and from thc prisoners and tho wounded, has come tho proof of a desiro among the pcoplo of tho South to return to constitu tional iclations with thc pooplo of thc North. Early in tho contest this desire was shown in North Carolina, ono of. the old thirteen associated with Pennsylvania on tho page of Revolutionary history. But tho majority in Congress mado hasto to show that Abolition, not reunion, was their aim. In a moment of depression, on thc 22d of July, 1801 , boing tho day after thc battle of Bull Run, they allowed tho pass age of a resolution, offered by Crittenden, defining a policy for thc restoration of the Union. But they soon rallied, aud filled tho statute-book with acts of confiscation, abolition, and emancipation, against tho remonstrances of eminent jurists and con servative men of all parties. Mr. Lincoln, too, yielding, ho said, "to pressure," put his proclamations in placo of tho Constitu tion and the laws. 1 hus every interest and sentiment of thc Southern people wcro enlisted cn tho sido of resistance by tho policy of a party which, as Mr. Stevens said, will not "consent to a restoration of tho Union with tho Constitution as it is." It is this policy that has protracted tho war, and is now tho greatest obstacle to its termination. Tho reunion of tho States can alono givo thorn their old security at homo and power and dignity abroad. This end can novei bo reached upon tho principles of tho party now in power. Their principles arc radically false, and can never lead to a good concluf ion. Thoir hope of setting up tho negro in the place of tho whito man tuns counter to tho laws of natuio. Their statesmanship has been weighed in tho balance and found wanting ; thoir "jtlo blood-letting" has proved a dclugo. Their interference with our armies has often frustrated and novcr aided their suc cess, till it has bceoino a military proverb that tho best thing for a general is to bo mcnt is strong when exercising with vigor its legitimate powers, and is weak when it sets nn cxamplo of revolutionary violonco by invading the rinhts of the people.
