Meantime the retaliatory and disunion movements in the South, crvetalized and proclaimed the all monstrous heresy that the union was but analhenceof sovereign States, and that any one of its members might in the exer cise of an unlimited sovereignty,' which was claimed for it, withdraw from such union. This hereby was designated, and as we all know, is familiarly called Se cessionism, aud, under its banner, a great and formidable party in the slave States was rallied. . Thus were confronted two great section al parties the Abo!itiomsts North, and th?

Understanding the causes, it would seem to be in the order of nature, that restoration should follow up their re woi al. . It is not compatible with the prac tical efficiency of an address, such as this, to eagage in any elaborate exposition, or histsrical account of the gradual progress of antecedent causes, that have at last cul ' ruinated in the dreadful results wo now be hold.

At its outset, the appeal was made to the loyal men of the North to fly to arms, iu order to uphold the Constitution and laws, and to maintain the Union. With the rapidity of magic this appeal was responded to with unbounded enthusiasm, and an armed force of 700,t)00 men stood ready to obey the summons to meet the foes of the Union. Preident Lincoln, in his inaugural address he said : "I have no purpose, directly or indi- These hopes explana grej t de gree at least, is found in the evidence af forded of aterrible fact that the Abolition ists in the North are determined thit the white population of the South shall be ex terminated or held in subjugation, an 1 that our Government shall be overthrown and the Union of these States finally aad for ever broken up.

And we ask your candid con sideration for a moment, until we present to you a Jew points, from which yon will see that the inference is irresistablo that this is the design of this most disloyal band. . The Constitution and the Union were early regarded by the Abolitionists is the barriers that stood in the way of negro emancipation. Hence, such Constitution was by them denounced as a 'covenant with death and an agreement with hell.' So late as the 15th of June last a portion of the members of this band, at a meeti ig in Massachusetts, passed a formal resolition, viz : fiesolvert, That as Abolitonists, d voted to the great work of overthrowing slnvery, we renew and repeat our old pledge, "No Union with slaveholders."

The history of the Degro wars and in surrection in St. Domingo, and other West India Islands, is replete with the barbarities of rapine and slaughter of helpless women and infants, that shock the sentibilities of the lowest development of humanity ia the white mau.
