cost them some pangs Of pride to deSert their
great radical Helper leadet,''whom the . ). were
i .pledged to 'support "to the 'crock of doom."
He yielded.gracefUllY himself, but Mr. Briggs
refused to perform his'allotted part of .the play,
'and, casting' hie 'vote for Mr. .McClern'and,

from Mr. Beonington to 'Mr. McCl.errind.
The Democratic members of the:House,,after

Cast their .vote for John A. McClernand, of Il

/UroloSnl, let. That the` Democratic. Central

that as a nation,•we are on people,, with one
Union, and. have •6
- . 'common destiny.
rl•
2d. That the tieveral States of the Union in
their Indio/dr/cii capaiity as parties to out,Con
stittitional - cornpacc are .eov.ereign and .inde
pendent,-and solengas each confiriea•its action
legitimately to the , control of its own' institu

domestic Or other polity of sister States, there
can be no' possible danger of , a collision 'be
tweeir them; • and We believe . it .to be 'the sacred
duty of 'each arid every State so .to•conduct its
policy, to the.end that our bond.of union shall
be and remain peaCeful and perpetual.
3d. That in our Opinion the 'constant agita
tion: of the. Slave Question, kf;pt: 'np . by. the ari
ti-slavery party of the Northern: . Statea, - is
greatly detrimental sto.the best , interests, the
peace and harinonY of .this great and growing
ltimily of, States.. We truly, believe it is a
question With Which .the people of. the North
have nothing to ,do, and if that; question were
left out of the PreSidential issue, or overshad,
owed by real questions of truly National
portunce, and be decided in Accordance with a
fair construction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act,
permiting the people of each Territory, ivhen
they . come to adopt a Constitution for. them
selves, to decide whether they will : reject or
admit of Slavery in the New. State;" National
harmony might once more be restored.
4th. That in otir opinion the present and
past action of thesleaders and ihepressiof the
Republican party:is sectional and aggressive to
ward the States of the south; that such action
contra rile the compromises of the Federal
Constitution, and if persisted in must inevit
ably 'result in the disruption otpur National
compact, as . fno family of States can,live inshar
monywhile the' nein of•ti portion of the family
are deadly hostile to :the settled policy and
long T settled institutions of the others. •
sth: That while we cheerfully .concede that
a large portion of , the.Republic'an party are ac
tuated in their hostility to slavery by. feelings
of what they .believe to bathe beitprinciples
of ,philanthro6 , ,' in
.sympathiiing with the
negro tece; yet we must say that, we sincerely
believe •it. is 'a Niztaken and viisplaced sympathy,
in attempting to henellt the colored ; race at the
cost of disunion,.and at the' more fearful coat
of the blood amlthe 'atter desolation 'of our
Southerit white hieti:Ven; against whom the
teachers of the Reptibliciri creed seek:te inflame
the passions' and. prejudices , of their . iectientil
(*deride': .We atilt them to itop, and first esti
mate 'the.priceless vatic, of Our Federel Union
to ourselves and to the civilized Rations

'eridom ere . .upon us iis'the first great 'praOtical
eiponent.'of the prlpciple of self-government,

. and aloth-loving conditioliwould gain, if, eman-

acts, of:e traOor Constitution and, to the .

'rier between the North and South,•gothat thir
friends cd - the Constitution and Union will not be
permitted to visit the tdrnb.of INT#I3IIINGITON, at

7th. That we have the charity to •believe
that Bute portion of theltepublican.partY do
not • sympathize with the :John ..Brown mcivs
rientv burwe do believe that the Speeches and
writings' of the . Ultra Abolitionists of • the
North; would legitimately reedit in ':producing
such inciendiary outbreaks; und we would re
joics; for the interests of Our bsloVed coUntry„
if conservative end thinking Reptiblicane would.
not 'affiliate with, but separate• themselves•
from such revolutionary'fanatics ; and truly aid
in restoring' peace to our distracted country..
Bth, That 'while we cannot sympitthize.wiih

ican party, - . in - their. 'hostility to foreign emi
grants,.ryet we do , sympathize .with and
commend .th!m for their love lif-the Union • and

.That we sympathlze - with our -breth
re's of .the South 'in ,resisting the aggreisive
spirit of northern fanaticism swhich has been

the same time we ask...of Ahem to rebuke the
00-hasty'spirit of disunion which 'some' o
their over-senstive partizans have promulgated,
and' in the. fanguage of one of our . ex-Presi
dents, etawait the sober-seiond thought of the
people;" who will; we firmly. believe, finally

to settle therein and Carry with them. any prop . -

of 'the African% Slave trade, because its prohi:.
