The life of our beloved country is in danger. 'J"he nation writhes under the throes of widespread civil Avar. All our wide-spread patriotism ; all our wealth ; all our physical lowers ; all of whatever virtue exists in the 1 republic i invoked, and .-houkl be pi-omptly arlonleil to save the National Constitution and the Union of the States from utter overthrow. Is there a l'ennsylvanian who values the title of Americsui citizen who re veres the memory of the men of the Revo lution who values civil and religious liberty who abhors anarchy or despti.-m or who claims to po.-se.-s a manly, pa triotic heart, that is not prepared to pledge life, fortune and sacred honor for his country, in this, her hour of greatest need and peril ? None can withhold such as surances of a just estimate of the iuiwr tance of preserving the existence of our republican institutions. We approach you with the full conviction that the mirts of the greatest body of the people, of Pennsylvania are with their country in this great crisis of her destiny ; that all that is iu-eded is to be satislh-d of a feasi ble mode of relief and extrication, and of the most eiiective organization to combine all the forces that can le applied to seedi ly an I effectually yield the happy fruits of returned eacc and prosperity. To clearly indicate the mode of relief it would appear to be prj-r to first deter mine the cause or causes of our present difficulties. Understanding the causes, it would seem to be in the order of nature, that restoration should follow upon their removal. It is not compatible with the practical efficiency of an address, such as this, to engage in any ellorate. exjOM tion or historical account of the gradual progress of antecedent causes, that have at last culminated in the dreadful result we now In-bold. We shall, therefore, necessarily le brief, jind best discharge our puqMjse by a statement of facts, which you will all recognize as correct, and by the assertion of propositions and conclu sions which we maintain cannot be suc cessfully controverted. The troubles that are now ujton us are those that the fathers of this country foresaw might arise. ujon the decay of patriotism, and against which they undertook to guard by the Constitu tion of the United States, and the estab lishment thereby of what w;ts deemed by them and has, until recently, proved to le the harmonious action of the States and the Federal (iovenimnt in their defined mid just relations to each other. Wash ington, in hi- farewell address o!iitcd out these dangers : and, al.e all, indicated, as the eideneeof a waning attachment for the Union, ami as the precursor of its tall, the creation of &itormf jmrtii-. It was in view of probable efforts in this di rection that he appealed to hi- tuntry men " to indignantly frown uion the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which link together the various parts." Had the countrymen of Washington sufficiently appreciated his juitriotic warning, the wide-spread civil war that now afHiets us would never have existed ; but, on the contrary, we should, at tins time, under the support whicii a m-ict lutiinttful 1 'rnv'tbtiin is ox-teiiilitlfT to I us, l in the enjoyment of a degree of prosteritv and In.ppiness (we venture to asserts unenualle.1 in the history of nations. Most unfortunately sectional parties have grown up, begetting sectional bitterness; and already the title of American citizens lxrins to pale before the invasive pro gress of such titles as Northerner and Southerner. Years acco men in the North, then a very insignificant combination, began to y ong-s.- o, ' - .p -asiil our Constitution an.l our Union, inediately after the battle of Rull Run, in Tliis faction, lias'iiur its oniosition upon a misjruided sentimentidity in reganl to the , a. m. sen itude of the negro race in the Southern Suites, and allowing tliat sentimentality to swallow up all true feelings of patriotism, and all duty as citizens, boldly proclaimed their hostility to the Constitution and the Union, which they rightly claimed recog nized and was pledged not to invade the control of the States respectively over the institution of domestic slavery. Disloyal declarations, such as " better no Union at all than a Union with slaveholders," be came the axiomic dicta of this faction, then and now (in its formidable propor tions) best known as Abolitionists. With out dwelling upon the progress and growth of this faction, it is too lamentably true and well known that, proclaiming through its leaders their chief object to be the ultimate extinction of slavery," it attain ed to such consequence that the people of the slaveholding States Ijccame alarmed, and legan to form counter combinations to resist the threatened overthrow of what they claimed to le rights that were inten ded to be sacredly guarded by .the Consti tution of the United States. At the Si'Jne time there had existed an insignificant, ami of themselves powerless, band of dis imionists in one or two of the slaveholding States, who seized upon the opportunity thus afforded bv the aggressive action of I t!ie Alx.itiomsts to stimulate these conn- : ter movement?. 1 he-e ettorts were too successful ; and materials to, for such efforts were lxing continually supp!iel bv the successes of Abolitionists. Abuse juid obloquy against the slaveholdc-r steamed out Iixim some pulpits m ttie rsorth. Aliere the virus of Aljolitionism hadlx?en infused. Retaliatory epithets were indulged in by IMllttits in tli.' Si-mlli 1- tli MmlltViiiwt i i - - - ' i ciiurcli oiranizatums m tlic I nton were oi-gam-itins m inc i mon were into organizations North and Nominations for the Presidency ide upon issues, in lainter or boMcr spin iq ; South. were m: tenns, involving the pie-tioii of the ex istence or limitation of the area of domes- I tie shivery. The decisions of the Supreme j Court of the United States were resisted, j its integrity assailed, and is rrul'-ti;'f avowed. These were followed by out breaks, as illustrated be the raid of .John lirown into Virginia. Meantime the re- taliatory and diunitn movements in the South, crysta'.izod and proclaimed the monstrous heresy that the I "nion was but an alliance of sovereign States, and that any one of its mcmltcrs might, in the ex ercise of sin unlimited sovereignty, which was claimed for it, withdraw from such union. This heresy was designated, and as we all know, is familiarly calhtl Seces sionisin, and, under its banner, a great and formidable party in the slave Stiites was rallied. Thus were confronted two great sec tional parties the Aliolitionists North, and the Secessionists South the v.-rv an tqtodes of each other in their sentiments : they met on the common platform of Dis union. Each alike tended to overthrow the Constitution and the Union. Each alike are th:; enemies of the Republic. The Secessionists, claiming to act from the apprehension that the threat for '-the ultimate extinction of slavery " would be put into execution, suet-eded by bare majorites in some cases, and by the more efficient organization of probable minori ties in others, in procuring the adoption of ordinances of S.-eissio;i, or for the with drawal of sueh States from the Auurknn Union as are now handed mi l -r the desig nation of the Confederate States. ()! taining thus the formal organization of a government, they set at defiance the Con stitution an l laws of the United States, and iiuderto-ik to resi-t their execution Avithin the pretended jurisdiction of this revolutionary government. The Govern ment of the United Stiites, in strict ac cordance with its powers, undertook to enforce these laws and to demand oliedi enee to them ; armed resistance was at once inaugurated on the part of the Seces- lomsts, and thus ljcgan a n-lielliou and civil war that has Income one ol gizautic proportions, and for many of its charae- t eristics of one of the most formidable that ever existed among a ei ilized jn.ople. -t its outset, Uie apjteal was iinnte to the loval men of the North to fly to arms, in order to uphold the Constitution and laws, 1 and to maintain lite Union. With the rapidity of magic this "appeal wiis re j S1W,1J to ;v.th unl.mn.Uentlni.-iasm, " 1,rw f ovir men j ! n-auy io o-x-y me suuuu.m..- ,o mtvi the foes of the Union. President Lincoln, in his inaugural address, had siud : "I have no purpose, directly or indi- redly, to interfere with the institution of j incut party leaders, even in the last Pivsi slavcrv in the States where it exists. I j dential campaiirn, (see the sjvech deliver lielieve I have no lawful right to do so, and ! c i,ri,,ali2?1to;' J. . JU0 loul Jit'solccd, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced uiion the country by the Disunionists of the Smthem States, now in anus against the Constitu tional Government, and in arms around the capital ; that in this national emer- gency, Congress, banishing all feeling ot mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is not waged on their mrt in anv spirit of oppression, or for Jiny purpose of eonouest or suhiu'ration, or iuriose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, ami to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several Stales unimpaired: A and that as soon as these objects are ac complished the war ought to cease." Thus the faith of the President and Congress w:ts pledged to exery loyal man in the North that the war was to" be car ried on for the Constitution as it is and the Union as it w:is. Under the inspiration of this hih, patriotic, and holy puriose, our gallant countrymen have" marched to the battle-fkld, keeping step to the music of th Union, enduring 'privations and .sufferings that would have utteHy aj palled less patriotic and devoted soldiers, The enemy, although massed in formida- j ble bodies, and supported bv an cnern- I -kill, and munitions f c-n- ti.-.t . an iucrciL'-.'d concentration of sentiment in bchalf ol the iv'.xllion, yet, liefoi-e the mighty .-hock tf tur arms inflicted by the soldiers of the' Union thev for a time were vanquished ; their ibrts, towns, and other strongholds were rapidly taken, and. ! ami-1 the shouts of the exultant an I tri- in... .!..... .1 i: ...l ill-, i .- .1 ii-i--.un .-imiieiy nnu iia-.i euiisieti lor me mere purpose of re-esiaUishin" devotion mere puqHsc ot re-establishing devotion J to, and the protection of our proud national i ensign, the Star-Spanidcd Hanncr there again spread out its folds.

These hojies have not lieen realized, and the explana tion of this disappointment, in a great de gree at least, is fount 1 in the evidence af ford .-d of the terrible fact that the Aobli tionlsts in the North are determined that the white imputation of the South shall le cxterminati-d or held in subjugation, and that our Government shall le overthrown. :ui 1 the-e union of these States finally and forever broken up.

Ami we a-k your can-lid con sideration for a moment, until we present to you ii few jtoiuts, from which you will see that the inference is irresistible that thi- is the dc.-L'ii of this most di-loval ban 1. J The. Constitution and the Union were ; early regiuiled by the A'oti;i. mists as the j barriers that stood in the way of negro j emancipation. Hence, such Constitution j was by them denounced as a ' co ii;int with death all 1 iin iigltt'lll' llt with lie'l." So late :i- the loth of dune last a iortion of the liicmiKTS of this band, at a meet ing in Massachusetts, pa-sed a formal resolution. iz: AVstW, That.-.s AlK.litk.nists. tlevtitetl to the gnit work of overthrowing slavery, we renew ami repeat our old pledge, "No I "nion with Slaveholders."' No sujiort ! to any Administration or Government that !erinits slavery on anv ortitn of its ' .soil iind we value this war only :is we j lK-!icvc it must lead to einancip.-iti.nl by ; ordi-r of the retleral autlittnii.-s, or to a j dissolution of the Union, which must fiteedily produce the same result. It is unnt.-ces.-iiry to even specify the prominent evidences that, from lime to time, have leen afforded that the Aboli tionists had firmly resolved niton the de struction of this Government. A few of them are found in the unconstitutional, so called, "Personal Lilierty Rills' of several Stiites: the repeated declarations of prom- ed by Frank P. Rlair, at Franklin Hall, in the city of Philadelphia, on the 2d of Octoler, 1 SCO, one week before the elec tion, in which he, quoting still higher au thority, declared that the object of the Re publican party was ' the ultimate extinc tion of slavery,") in the avowed deter mination to resist the decision of the Su preme Court of the I Tinted States, in the Dred Scott case, and in such d'M'larations as made by Senator Wade, "a Union where all men are equal, or no Lmon ai . . - all." Acting ujt mi this original puqiosc, ami upon the conviction that a return to Congress of Senators ami Representatives from the Siuthem States would result in j their political overthrow, the Aljolitionists j in the Lite Congress have pursued a jolicy j that has :U irmed every loyal man in the j North, and has forced the conviction that our gallant armies in the field, and the j whole nation, wcic to be thwarted in their patriotic purpose The resolution abme. quoted, adopted by Congress in July, I linmetbatclv after the Rull Run dis- aster, it Wiis sought to re-affirm in the present Congress, through a resolution offered by Mr. Ilelman, of Indiana, in the following terms: 7iWin, That the unfortunate civil war, into wliich the ( -overnment of the United States has been lorced by the trea sonable attempt of Southern Secessionists to destroy the Union. sf!oul-l not be prose cuted for any other purjtose tlian the res toration of the authority of the Constitu tion an 1 welfare of the whole jietip'e of the United Stiites, who are perm:iuently in volved in the preservation of our present form of Government, without modification or clumge. This resolution w;is defeated by a mo tion to lay it upon the table, made by Mr. lyovejoy, by the following vote: veas 00, nays oS. Of those who oted to thus defeat the resolution, Z'.l were Republicans while ev ery Democrat, excepting one, and every liorder State representative whose vote is recorded, voted in the negative. In co-operation with this most signifi cant declaration, by the Federal House ol Repr scntatives, we had the military emancipation pioclamatlons of Gcm-rals Fremont and Hunter. Along with the-e we had the project of Mr. Sumner, in the Semite, to blot out the State governments of the rebel State, reduce them to a terri torial condition, ami to govern them as such. Then followed various emancipa tion schemes. ;uid amonir them the project of carjLtMtifri of slaves lu'iniiudhf. but ' a bill to emaneijKitr them. We cannot proKihly ltetter prove the operation of such measures upon the Southern mind than to quote the following extract from the reply of twenty oat of twenty-eight representatives from the liorder Slave States to 1 'resident Lincoln, in refereiitv to his appeal to them to adopt hi- project, that the Federal Government should aid them with money to pay the master for the negro upon his cniiuicip.it ion. viz: The rvltellioii derives its Mivngth from the union of all classes hi the insurgent Stiites; ami while that union lasts the war will never end until they arc utterly ex hausted. We know that at the imvptioii of these troubles Southern s-x-ietv was di vided, and that a large prtion. perhaps a majority, were oposed to secession. Now the great mass of Southern people are uni ted. To discover why they are .-o. we must glance at Southern sn iely an-1 notice the classes into which it has I teen divided, and which still distinguish it. They are in arms, but not for the same object : thy iire moved to a conme-ii en.L but by diff erent an l inconsistent leasoas. The lea ders, who comprehend what was previous ly known a- the Stiites rights party, and is much the lesser cla-s, seek to break downiiational in-lepeu !; nee, ae.d setup Slate domination. With them it is a war against nationality. The i;h-.-r c!a-s i fighthig. :is it supposes, to maintain and preserve its lights of pro ity and domes tic safety, which it h:ls b.v;i nri " to 1k.' lieve are :issiiiletl by this Government. This latter class are no di-uniouists jr ..'. they are so tnly Ik-i-iusc ih "y have Kvn niiide 1 ln-lieve that this al:ninistration is inimical to their rights, and is making war upon their domestic institutions. As long as these two el.isscs act together, they vYill never assent to a jhsuv. Tlie jxiliey, tlren, to lie pursued is obvious. 'I"he for mer class will never lv reconciled, bat the latter may le- Remove their apprehen sions. Satisfy them that no harm is in tended to them ami their institutions ; that this Government is not making war on their rights of projerty, but is simply de feiitliiig its legitimate authority, ami they will gladly return to their allegiance as soon :is the pressure of military dominion imjHJsed by the Confederate authority is removed from them. Twelve months ago both Houses of Congress, adopting the spirit of your mes sage, then but recently sent in, declared with singular unanimity the objects of the war, and the country instantly hounded to vour side to assist vou in carrying it on. If the spirit of that resolution had liecn iidhcred to we are confident that we should liefore now have seen the end of this de plorable conflict. Rut what have we seen ? In both Houses of Congress we have heard doctrines subversive of the principles of the Const it nth hi, ami seen measure after measure founded in sul stance on those, doctrines projo-ed and carried through, which can have no other effect than to distract and divide loyal men, and exasperate and drive still further from us ami their duty the people of the relx'llious Stiites.
