.IddrtKH to the People,
To tht People of the United States :
Dangers threaten. The Constitution
tire citadclof our liberties is directly
trailed. TLc future is dark, unless
the people will come to the rescue.
In this hour of peril, National Union
should be tl.e watchword of every true
inn n.
Ah cssektul to National Unio'i we
must maintain unimpaired tho rights,
the dignity, and the equality of the
States, including the rights of represen
tation in Conercfs, aud Jthe exclusive
light of each State to govern its owu
domestic concerns, subject ouly to the
Constitution of the Uuitcd States.
After a uniform construction of the
Constitution for more than half a centu
iy, the assumption of new and arbitrary
powers in tho Federal Government is
Kub7crHive of of oar system and destruo
t ive of liberty.
A free interrhuugo"of "opinion aud
hind feeling between tho eititena of tho
Statesis necessary to the perpetuity of
t'le Union. At present eleven States
i.re'excludod from the National Coun
il. For seven long months the present
'impress baijfpcrsislcntly dcuiol. any
iht of representation to the people of
t iee "States. Law ail'cctiuu their
l'''.i.:it uoJ dcire-it interests, have been

refutation has been tnadi; to all the
tuembcrs from a Stale, although the
Stale, in the language of the President,
j " presents itfclf, not on'y in an attitude
of loyalty and harmony, but in the pcr
, sons of repiesen la liven whoc hya'ty
cannot be questioned tinder any existing
coiitilutiocal or lejral IrM." The rep
resentatives of nearly one third r.f the
State have not been consulted with ref
erence lo Ihe great questions of the day.
There has been 110 nationality surround,
ing the present Ceiiprw.v There h:is
been no intercourse between the repre
sentatives of the two sections, produc
ing mutual coufidcuce and respect. In
the language of the distinguished Lieu,
tenant General, " It is to be regretted
that, at this time, there cannot be a
greater cominingliug between the cili
iztus of the two sections, &nd particular.
ly of those entrusted with the law-making
power." This state or tilings should
be removed at once and forever.
Therefore, lo preserve the National
I'uion, to vindicate I he ufficieo:y of
our admirable Corsiitulion, to guard the
Slates from covert nttempta Ut deprive
ihcni of their true position in the Union,
and to bring together those who arc un
naturally severed, aud for these prcat
national purposes ouly, we cordially sip
prove the call for a National Union
Convcutiou, to be held at the city of
Philadelphia,' on the second Tuesday
(14th) of August nest, and endorse the
principles tnereiu set forth.
Wo, therefore, respectfully but ear
nestly urge upon our fcllow-cilizeus in
each State, and Tcrritoty, and Congres
sional district in the United States, in
the iatcrcst of Uuiou and iu a spirit of
harmony, and with direct reference to
the principles contained iu said call, to
act promptly iu the selection of wUe,
moderate, and eoussrvative men to rep.
resent them in said Convention, to the
end that uH the Stales shall at once be
restored to their practical relations to
the Union, the Constitution be main
tained, and peace bless the whole
country.

There are hundicds of g'Mid men iu

Vranrr and Ihe Present War.
Will France take au open part in the
present conflict of arms in Kurope, is
ttic question now uppermost iu the pub
lie mind. A Paris correspondent of the
Londou Tours writes, under date of
June 28, as folljws : Tho opiniou
seems to be gaining .'round that active
intervention oa the part of France will
not have to be waited for veiy T-v
deed, it is afirmed that it is already dc
cided upon. Prince Napoleon, the tin
in-law of A'ietor Emanuel, had an inter
view with toe Emperor yesterday. ;md
it vas noticed that he came away in
(juite a joyful mood. What passed be
tween them can only be surmised ; but
the surmise L that he Los obtained all
ho wauicd. It Is said that AI. Bene
dctti, the French Ambassador at Berlin,
is about to come to Paris, ostensibly ou
leave of absence really lobe the iMiu.s
tcr of Foreign affaire, in place of M.
Drouyn do L'Huya, who was the For.
eigu Minister for peace, whereas his
su leetaor, an iutinisto friend of Count
Bismarck, would ba a war minister
Moreover, M, Drouyn de L'lluja is not
always consulted in very delicate affairs.
Should intervention be the order of the
day, it would probably be undertaken
uot long after the Chamber separates."

ordered, and a large division of the ar.
my moved to a positiou mt favorable
for a quick descent upon the plains of
Piedmont by the Mount Cenu pathway,
over which the army of Italian libera,
liou traveled previous to the battles of
Magenta aud Solleiiuo.
It is well known that Prince Napo
leon is anxious to force bis Imperial
eousiu into a positioa which will make
Freuch interference a necessity iu the
contest between Austria aud Italy. But
the astute and wily Emperor will not
j move until the proper moment arrives.
He is bouud by solemn promises lo pro
tect tho territory acquired bj the treaty
of Villa 1" ranca. These promises and t
guarantees he will undoubtedly keep
with sacred fidelity. It is his iuterest
to do so- But he is uot committed by
like declarations lo aid Italy iu conquer-
ing Vcnetia. No doubt such is hU !
wish and desire. Like his uucle, he
seems to have assumed the leadership
aud protectorate of the Latiu races, aud
this would induce him to consolidate
that people, wherever such a movement
is possible or practicable. Under these
circumstances, it is more than likely
that in tho end Freuch troops will be
recn iu Venctia, but it will be to chas.
tisc the Austriuus for a violatiou of
French guarantees iu ntliir parts of
Italy, and not for the avowed purpose of j
couqucst ana absorption. iSapoIcoa u
as profound a politician aud diplomatist
as uow holds a th rono in Europe. lie
unites events uud creates circumstances
is not the creature of them. England
was bumbled by bis management of the
Crimean war, and Austria will bo by
the present contest, so fur as her au.
thority in Italy is concerned.
The l(Mss of Veiic ia would be a bitter
draught for the Austrian government.
In speaking of a recent rumor that Vc
netia was to bo exchanged for tho Dan.
ubiau principalities, the Aiue Vei'e
Viiii published at Vicuna, says, " if
Austria traded Venice for tho lands ou
iiio Ncvcuta, Besna, and Drina, she
would exchange a well cultivated coun
try, iu a very flourishing condition, for
ouo which would have to bo developed
iu all important purtieulars. But the
political aspect of such au exchange
presents itself in a still more unfavora
ble nianucr than the material. Al
though Austria has lost her hegemony in
Italy, the quadiilaterial ensures bcr in
the meantime a strong defeusive line
agaiust a State which is tho vassal of
Frauoe, and places it always in hor pow
cr to defend tho Danube from tho Po,
and to cover the fortresses of tho Alps,
whence the French can be attacked iu
tho flack, should they advanco ou Vi
enna. The position in Venice ouco
lost, aud the couutry of tho Trent with
tho sluices of the Adige would equally
fall into the hands of Italy. The Tyrol,
Cariuthia, and Salzburg, would iu a
great European war be half lost. Mid

would disappear the last vestige of th

Th o'itiral and national importance
or enetia, when viewed 10 the line of
! Napoleon's amliilion. is just what makes
j his nlt:niate interft renee in the present
