OF The Democratic State c'eraral Con .it- To the People of Pennsylvania : FELLOW CITIZENS the performance of our duty, we Irately addressed you on the subject of Know Nothingi6m. We warned you against the insidnous appeals of a party, one principle of which establishes a religious test for office, a thing expressly prohibited by the Constitution of the United States, and by that of Pennsylvania. A party which see k s to p r ertio a lly disfranchise one class of American citizens, because of their religious creed ; another class, because of their place of birth, and to proscribe a still more numer ous class, because they will not deny to oth ers the rights which they claim for them selves. We reminded you that these states had been founded by immigrants who fled hither for self protection from this same per secuting spirit. That by mutual tolera tion in matters.of religion, and by an equal participation in the common cencerns of so {-jai life and government,' - these rights of each were guaranteed by all ; that to wrest them from any citizen, however weak or humble, was to substitute might for right, and thus subvert the great principle of politi cal equality, on which alone rests our com mon security and general welfare. That to do this in secret, and under mutual pledges and oaths, and above all, to do it un der the name of iinericanism, was to des troy all confidence in the capability of men for self-government, to confound local prej udice with the virtue of patriotism, to exalt the profession of a creed above the practice of genuine Christianity, to brine. Democratic in-^ stitutions into contempt, and - to cover their founders with reproach. If the rankling hatreds and fierce feuds, the social wrongs and lawless outrages, which have characterized this secret party, had been in like manner occasioned by all others, society itself could not have existed. Brief, therefore as has been its career, it has convinced every reflecting man that its ten dencies are counter to the genius of our gov ernments and opposed to the teaching of their founders. We have, therefore, seen it overthrewn by the Democracy in the South, and disorganized and broken—or blended with Abolitionism in the North. Such has been the secession from its ranks by the de ceived and erring men who joined it, that notwithstanding its abated pretensions and the attempts made to liberalize its principles, its possession of local offices and the forlorn hope of political places and rewards in 1856, alone, keep it from utter annihilation as a national party, At the present, therefore, there is more oc casion to call your attention to another and purely sectional party, which threatens to sub vert the Federal Constitution, and to destroy the Union of these States. The Know Noth ing party—miscalled American tends to oc casion civil discord among neighbois, and between citizens of the same State, but this self-styled Republican party, tends to add to this the horrors of a neei o insurrection in the States of the South, and a civil war between the several States of this Union. We du not say that this is the design of all or even a majority of its members, but we do charge that to be the only avowed de sign of some, and those not a few of its lead ers ; and we further charge that such is the clear tendency, and would be the inevitable result, of its success. It is in vain for its partizans to say that they intend no ill ; the question is not one of intention, it is one of pr Letical conduct ; and the principles of American government and of Constitutional law are the sole tests by which it must be tried. We have already seen the Legislature of one State openly and designedly pass an act in defiance of the Constitution of the United States and the laws made in pursu ance thereof, and when the Governor of that State—and a partizan of this very party— vetoed, and attempted to arrest the course of that Legislature, we saw them defy him also, and repass this act. We have seen the same State openly. remove an upright and learned Judge beause he dared to keep his oath and to support the Constitution of the United States. In our own State, we have since heard a deliberative body of the same party, vehemeatly applaud a motion to mob and beat a Judge ; and still later in this State, and in the Convention of this whole party, a Reverand member of it publicly advocated the destruction of a public Prison, and the rescue of a prisoner, because they had con sideted and adjudged him to be wrongfully imprisoned. If these things are now done and advocated, and by such men and in such places, both under color of law and in avowed defiance of it, who will or can as sure the public that they would stop there 1 or that other—and the most fatal—violations of the law would not be committed by other men and mobs, and in other places ' When men thus disregard the Constitution and laws of their country, and seek to organize together one section of the 'Union, that they may the more successfully overawe or sub due the other, they reduce the whole ques tion to one between force and law, Union or disunion, domestic tranquility or civil war. It is absurd for men to prate about liberty, when at the very same time they are encour aging resistance to law. There can be no liberty without law, and there is not and can not be any law of this land higher than the Constitution of the United States. Whatev er, therefore, may be the pretences put for ward by the abolitionists, or whatever more deceptive name they may choose to asume, and array themselves under, the real and sole issue will be the same; it will be that party— a violated Constitution and disunion on the one side, and the Democratic party and the Constitution and Union as they are on the other side ; choose ye between them ! Even if you would, yet you cannot now but choose between these two. While the Whig party existed, whatever may have been its follies or its faults, yet neither Clay nor Webster, nor its other great leaders, nor the true men of its rank and file, would have tolerated a sentiment Latile to the Constitution or the um . 1 ..-; I: , I T; 4 • Mt. kr T :t - ' - ..., Ff . ' ' n. Y. .. S., ... . . , It . b . „ . 'T. ~ ...t' 1 .. '4' '... C. 1.1 1, . = ..z... . .._ ' ~V. l # / ~ . g Union. But these great men and true patri ots have passed away, and the old Whig par ty no longer exists. The weak, the venal and the selfish in its ranks have gone into a secret and sectarian organization, or have gone over and arrayed themselves with Abu ionist,s, infidels and fanatics, against their brethren of the South. One party alone re mains firm and defiant. Over every foot of the soil of this union, and wherever its Con stitution extends, there too extends the all protecting arm of the Democracy, bearing aloft the flag of Civil and Religious Liberty, the Constitution, and the Union. Fellow Citizens, our duty in the premises is plain. However much parties may hesi tateor hang back, fearful of losing their own position or yielding to an old political oppo nent, there is but one course left, and that is a general rally of all patriotic citizens upon the platform of the Democratic party. There is no mistaking the tone of the Democracy in this crisis. It unhesitatingly accepts the issue tendered to it by the adversaries of the Federal Constitution, and proclaims its high purpose to sink or s'vim, survive or perish, with the American Union. Refusing to make terms with traitors of any shade, it has riot only without regret but with undissem bled joy, seen them desert its ranks for those of an unprincipled coalition. Purified and relieved from their baleful influences, and en abled to act unfettered in its high duty, it in vites to its standard every patiotic Pennsyl vanian. 1: has no concealment of its princi ples, or secresy in its organization, but shielded, helmed and weaponed to tilt the truth, it advances against the combined fa nanaticisms. It accepts the whole responsi bility of opposing those who oppose the Con stitution. It fullti• enters into the contest against the Abolitionists and their allies. In such a cause, even defeat would be honora ble, but victory is certain to crown our efforts 'if only those who are conscious that we arc right, will act t 123 to their honest convic tions. We are no alarmists. It is not our purpose to exagerate the dangerous tendencies of the political action of our opponents. You can see for yourselves not alone the obliteration of a great party, but the bold and flagrant dk;clarations of those who have taken its place. There is indeed no alternative left us but opposition, as there is manifestly rro par ty left to matte that opposition but the Dem ocratic party. The inconceivable evils of a dissolution of our beloved Union, do not deter the arrogant factions which now make headway against the rights of the States. The guilt is not greater on the part of such fanatvis as Garri son and Phillips, than on that of the dema gogues here and elsewhere, who support them. They are all working to the same end, some of them with the consciousness— and others thougtless or reckless—of the mis ery their success would entail upon the coun , try. But how is it with you people of Pennsyl vania 1 Are you willing to yield to the man dates of these men ? Has the Union lost its sacred and inestimable value in your eyes 1 Are you ready to regard your country men of the South as so many alien enemies We disdain appealing to your interests, we invoke your patriotism ; we appeal to the gaol ions memories of the past and to the unparalleled blessings ever present; and we point in proof of the peril that besets the near future, not merely to the overthrown Whig organization, nor to the fanaticisins springing from its ru ins and coalescing in our midst ; but to the alarm and eismay that have spread over the South like a funeral pall, in view of the ag gressive purposes of Northern Abolitionists. - And mark the miserable delusion with which Abolitionism tries to abuse the patri otic :. , ,entiment of the North. It affects in dignation because the Missouri restriction never approved, and for thirty-five years dis regarded by the Abolitionists, and spit upon and reviled by them with every epithet of scorn and indignation, has been repealed ! It denounces the doctrine of self government iii the territories, the very principle upon which the America.' colonies were peopled, govern ed and protected ! It denounces the Nebras ka act wldch declares "It being the true in tent and meaning of this act No-r to legislate slavery into any State or Territory, nor to ex chide it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly ree to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the Uni ted United States. These fanatics refuse, there, to allow the people to regulate their domestic institutions; Vet as early as October 1774, these United Colonies assembled in Congiss, solemitly Resolved, "That the foun dation of English Jibe] ty, and of ALL free government, is a right in the people to parti cipate in their legislative Council, rY , that the colonists are entitled to the free and exclusive power of legislation in their several provincial legislatures, where their right of representation can alone be preserved in all cases of taxation and INTERN-1L POLITY " and at the same time they further declared that these lights existed "by the immutable laws of nature, the principles of the English Constitution, and the several charters and compacts. The Declaration of Independence charged it as an act of usurpation by the King of Great Britain, that "ho refused to pass laws for the accommodation -if large districts of people unless those people would relin quish the right of representation in the Leg islature, a right inesti mable to them, and formidable to tyrants only." Nor was our owu State behind her sister States in asserting this right ; for by the third article of the declaration 01 rights - , made m July, 1775, it was declared "that the people of this State have the sole, exclusive and inhe rent right of governing and regulating the in ternal policy of the same 3" and when the Deputies of the people of Pennsylvania as sembled in full Provincial Conference, to suppress all authority of the King of Great Britain and for esta Wishing a g,overntneut up on the authority of the people only, the}• de clared their willingness to concur in a vote declaring the United Colonies free and inde pendent States, "Provided, the founing the government and the regulating the internal . / ..:..:14- , 146- - , ;1 :- . -0 k; A 4' . , . c. ' ;., ct' L -. .g - , ~. . N,-;...7. .., policy of this Colony be always reserved to the :people of the Colony." And yet, against these self-evident and im mutable principles of American liberty and of all free governments, men have the auclac•ity to array themselves under the name of Re publicans ! maintainint , , too, that their fellow countrymen, who inhabit the lei dot ics, must act otherwise than of their own free choice, and that Congress should compel them to elect between dictated submission and threat ened punishment ! But, fellow citizens, even while indulging in these expessions. this party is scarcely at tempting to conceal the fearful ultimatum of dibuttiou which it is now seeking 10 ptcaipi tate by means of an exclusive sectional Northern organization —the first organization of the kind ever knowu in this reptile, and the success of which is ceitain to end in the perpetual alienation of the South from the North. And by political agitation, what good can they even pretend to accomplish ? What man, in the free States of this Union, would be benefited by tile success of the Abolition ists? Not one ; nor could they give f:eedoin to a single slave ; they would but more firm ly rivet their fetters. As early as 18:)S, the late Rev. WILT.TAx E. CHAr. , :NING, of Boston, said : "My fear in regard to our elfin is against slavery is, that we shall make the case worse by rousing sectional pride and pas sion for its support, and that we shall only break the country into two great parties, which may shake the foundation of govern ment." So late as 1850 : Mr. WEBSTER said in the Senate: "Then, Sir, there are the Abolition Socie ties, of which lam unwilling to speak, but iu regard to which 1 have very clear notions and opinions. Ido not think them useful.— I think their operations for the last twenty years have produced nothing good or valua ble. r = * "T do not mean to impute gross motives even to the leaders of these Societies, but I am not blind to the consequence of their pro ceedings. 1 cannot but see what mischief their interference with the South has produ ced. And is it not plain to every man They attempted to arouse, and did arouse, a very strong feeling; in oth er words, they created great agitation in the North against Southern slavery. Well, what was the result The bonds of the slaves were bound more firmly than before; their rivets were more stionaly fastened. "Public opinion, which in Virginia bad be gun to he exhibited against slavery, and was opening out for the discussion of the question, drew back and shut itself up in its castle. *rz We all know the fact, and we all know the cause ; and every thing [flat these agitating people have done, has been, not to enlarge, but to restrain; not to set free, but to bind faster the slave population of the South." The whole effort of these aoitatots seems to be to make a sectional issue in every Con gressional district of the thirty-one States of the Union, and to writ the halls of Congress into an arena in which the delegates from the North may denounce the domestic institutions of the South. Not only does all reason foibid us to dis countenance sectional parties, but we have the solemly recorded opinion of JEFFERSON, who on this very question said : "But this momentous question, like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once as the knell of the Union. It is hushed, indeed, for the moment. But this is a nett ieve only, not a final sentence. A gew , raphieel lino coin ciding with a mailed principle, moral and political, once conceived and held up to the angry passions of men, will never be obliter ated, and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper); Let the true Whigs who have not ceased to treasure up the 2ounsels of their gloat states men, now apply the memorable %Yarning of HENRY CLA Y : "The Abolitionists, let me suppose, suc ceed in the present aim of noiting the inhab itants of the free States as one man against the inhabitants of the slave States, noion on the one side will beget union on the other.— And this process of reciptocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudi ces, embittered passions and implacable ani mosities whiel ever degraded or deformed human nature. One section will stand in menacing and hostile at ray against the oth er. The collision of opinion will quickly be followed by the clash of arms. I will not at tempt to (inscribe scenes which now happily lie concealed from our veiw." Lvt. them weit.lh well the following words of the conservative WEBsTF,R "lf n•e might regard our country as per sonated in the spirit of IVashin, , 4tort ; if we might consider him as tepresentiog her, in her past renown, in her present pio , perity and her future career, and as in that charac ter demanding of us all to account for our conduct as politival tnen or as private citi zens, how should he answer him who has ventured to talk of disunion or dismember ment? or how should he answer him who dwells perpetually OH local interests, and fans every kindling flame of local prejudice ? How should he answer hiin who would ar ray State aoainst State, interest agaiast inter est and patty against patty, caieless of the continuance of that unity of Goyernment which constitutes us one people." And finallv, let all men within the bounds of this State, and no matter to what party they belong, lay to their hearts the farewell advice of IVAsittcc•tos "The unity of Government, which consti tutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so ; fur it is a main pillar in the , edifice of your real independence—the sup poit of your tranquility at home; yout peace abroad; of your safety ; of your plosperhy ; of that very litanty )011 so prize. 13tit as it is easy to forsee that, from different causes and from different (limiters, much pains will be taken, many aititiees em ployed, to weaken, in your minds, the con viction of this truth : as this is the point in your political fortress against which the bat teries of internal and external enemies will 11 - . ~', 1 . 404 , g* "tc. zr ., ''' • •••s•*s • L -\l7, Li 1 ki • be most constantly and actively—though of ten covertly anu insiduously—directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your NA-no:N -AL UNIO2: to yoUr collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, !labiuml and immovable atiachm,mt to it ; ac cusroming, yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of }our pobrical safety and prosperity ; wrucking for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenahcing what ever may suLtgest even a su , picion that it can, in any event ; be abandoned ;and indignantly frown in upon the first dawn ing of every at tempt to alienate any portion of our country f rom th e ro ,,tt, or to ,- , tt f"pellle the sacred ties which now link together the various parts "For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest.

The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish Gov erment, pre-supposes tine duty of every Indi vidual to obey the established Government." If, in addition to these words, we need others more directly and solemnly applicable to the present times, they will be found in the following horn the ...mme initnoital pro duction . "In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter of serious, concern, that airy grounds should have been furnished for characterizing parties by !eographical discrimina irons, N o rthern and Southern, Atlantic and Western, whence de si-rn mg men maw enoeavor to exec , that there is a real difference of local interests and views.
