Wedded to nu institution:which has demoralized them -in 'demoralizing their Iribuivand eultiiitinri the earth'by an enslaved race of men, they have - made their slaves the source. of their Political power, and have ruled the nation with !the products of slave labor. -Thellappy hoursh of our national progress lava' fo! year's been, embittered by their insolence. All legislation that lonked to the prosper 7 ity of the Northern States and protection to their industry has been opposed and defeated by them.' With the growth ik` Nnrthern strength, •as the result' of frea institutions_ and free toils, .came the pas, session of pollitical power and the gradual resistance to the encroachments of slavery. Nor need we remind the people , - of the outrages that followed the efforts of the slaveholders, to recover their unholy and despotic dominion. _ The outrages_ upon Kansas; the studied insults to Northern Senators and Representatives ; . the dap& less abuse of. the Northern people anti the gradual concentmtme of the militaryi and naval power in the hands of the trai tors, all contemplated the restoration of their ascendency, - and enabled them torn: - augurate the treason which Culminated hi war.

While the enemies of the war propoie adhering to' the form - of a mare "arty or g anisation, the loyal :men have yielded their preferences and systems, content to defer to, the days of peace the revival of disputes which can only be repeated no# Ito the injury of the common cause. Let the people decide - whether that linterest is deserving of confidence which, 'in the uiidst of war, refuses to abandon the prejudices of party strife, and in the midst of natonal peril devotes itself to the ,work of dividing the.people. i The opponents of the war are More anxious. to prove their hatred to a party .than to the public enethy.,,, They insist ; that the "demon Abolition" is the inost danger - ous foe of the, pubitc peace. We (can see but one great criminal—but one i great enemy of the Republicand ha is now in arms against out countryruen_aod 1 brothers. To defeat) him at once and for ; ever is our first and most imperative duty. The adVersaries of the war insist that they contend for the Union as it wai,and the Coukitution as it.is. We, ,too, are f o r the Union, as it was; but not for the return of the aimed - associates of the sym pathizers with treason to the places they so long occupied and so basely deserted. And while we renew our fealty to the Con:, siitution as it is, we . also' insist upon the addition, of that duty which the opponent* of the war so steadily ignore, viz :"Th enfOreetuent of the laws," whether these laws are for . the confiscation of all rebel property, the emancipation of all slaves who aid to defend the gag" of, the Union, or the punishment of the reckless, pant; sans in the.adhering, States' who aid' and comfort the rebel enemy, denadralize the People, and paralyze the 'arra of the Ei. ecutive. .
