Pruow Cmzess—I am not surprised that al! good patriots should desire to commune with each other apoa the great political issues now pending Never before have I seen the political borizon so deeply overcast a: present; never, during my experience in life, bave I known @ more perilous condition of public affairs than 8 COU y There is one that which we now witness in this country fell question which has, to agreat extent, divided the churches North and South; which has destroyed the old whig party asa genera! or national organization; which has reared up & great sectional party in the non-slave- holding States, grounded upon principles that must be fatal to the peace of the country, should the government ever be administered upon them, and which has dis- turbed aud distracted the councils of the federal branch of our government, until, at times, it has 6 far impaired its efficacy as almost to paralyze it entirely. That ques tion is now exercising its disturbing tnfluence within the democratic party, and threatens to work the same mis- chief there which it has wrought elsewhere. Already it is divided into two different, if not hostile, camps. Ii under such circumstances | (10 not despair of the republic, nor despond in regard to its future, it is not because I fail to appreciate the difficulties in which we are placed, bor do I pretend to be free from anxiety with regard to the re- sults which may flow from the present condition of things; but it is because, in the dirst place, ] put my trust ina merciful Providence, whose interposition has been as manifest as it was efficient in past times, to rescue us from positions of peri! and difficulty; and next, I have an abiding and growing confidence in the power of trath, Time and experience, which teach so much to sadden us in the progress of life, have taught me at least one lesson of comfort and consolation in situations of dificulty and trou ble. They have increased my confidence in the empire of truth over the American people. Present the issues fairly, and give them time to consider them, and the cases are rare when they will not, opon a sober second thought, render such a verdict astruth and jwstice demand. Our past history is demonstrative upon this point. When I first entered the federal councils, which was a! the com nence_ ment of Mr. Van Buren’s administration, the moral aud political status of the gavery question was very different from what it now is, Thon the Souhern men tuemselyes, with but few exceptions, admitted slavery to be a moral evil, and palliated and excused it upon the plea of necessity. Then there were few men of any party to be found in the non slayebolding States who did not main- tain both the constitutionality and expediency of the anti-slavery resolution now geaerally known as the Wil- mot Proviso. Had any man at that day ventured the prediction that the Missouri reetriction would ever be re. pealed, he would have been deemed a visionary aud theo- rist of the wildest sort. What a revolution have we not wit- neseed in all this! The discussion and tae contest om the slavery queetion have gone on ever since, 80 as to absorb almost entirely the American mind. In many respects the results of that discussion bave not been adverse to us, Southern men no longer occupy a deprecatory atti- tude upon the question of vegro slavery in this country; whilst they by po means pretend that elavery is @ good condition of things under all circumstancer, and in all countries, they do maintaia that under the relations that the two races stand to each other here, it is best for bow ‘that the inferior should >e subjected to the superi same opinion is extendivg even in the where it is entertained by many, generally accepted. As ovitence, too, of the growing change on this subject, of the public iment of the world, I may refer to the course of France and ‘ireat Britain in’ regard to the coolie and the African apprentice: ship system, a8 introduced into their colonies. That they are thus running the slave trade, under another form, is raroly denied. It is not to be supposed tuat these go- vernments are blind to the real nature of this coolie trade, and the arguments by which they defend it already afford an evidence of a growing change ia their opinions upon slavery in general. We have seen, too, a great party, composed of members from every section of the niop, and bitherto strong enough to wield the power of government, which maintains the lity of the States and the right of each to colonize, with its property of every description, and t> extend s institutions, into the Territories of the United With coly any exception, this party bas maiutaived that the federal government can do nothing to destroy or impair this equality of rights in the States Aga consequence of this they have repealed the Missouri restriction by the action of the legiaiative and executive branches of the federal government. Ia this it may be said, with much how of truth, that the people have sustained them, for it was mainly upon this iasue that the present Pre was elected. To crown the whole, the action to this as But one thing party upon satisiactory to if successfully maintained, sertion of the was wanting to bave placed the grounds which would have been entire the South—a position whic! would have given peace to this great country years to come, because \t would bave protected the rights of the South and increased the material prosperity, with ut impairing the political strength of the put old ng sections, That step was to hi denied to the inbabi tants of a Territory, while in that condition, and bafore they had formed a State government, the right, by either direct or indirect to deprive some of the States of right to colonize their and extend their instituts common property of the Ca ast step * easy to be taken, so insensible was the gratation, aud 80 inevitable was it as a conclusion from the principles I Dave just laid down, as baring beep commenced and naintained by the democrat!> party, that it seemed to be Terri the most nataral thing in the world for that party to have agical ¢ just here tha stency #1 & split ia sidency. 1 made it, and thus maintained th ite position.

Fellow citizens, if we desire to preserve this Union under the constitution; if we desire to main- tain the peace and security of the country, it seems to me there should be no doubt about our course in the pre- sent emergency. To attain these great ends there is no sacrifice which we ought not to make—none, I trust, which we are not prepared to make should it becone ne- cessary to do 80, But we cannot secure these objects of a desire 80 general by sacrificing the truth or the cousti- tution—a decision bon fn Be sean of with them will find favor and acceptant ‘where. The empire of truth, thank or is eaipacheal obligations of the con- stitution, if they can be clearly pointed out, are held to be binding by in all parts of the Union. Let us, peel upon this ground. let ue rally, we can, the whole demvcra- tic La of the comtry upon it, and if all cannot i se to this position at once, let us concentrate as sible. If wecan unite those States which ba menloate form of iple, theese, tonettee ait eae Co iz i. principle, these, together w: sympathizing m borities in nearly all the pon: slarehold Stites, will constitute a power moral and political which will en- courage all the Southern States to hope for the means of protection and self defence within the Union.

Every man, then, ry loves the Cajon or the constitution ought to unite and rally as strong a party ag possible upon that platform which alone gives the hope of per manence to that Union apd of peace to the country. Fel- low citizens, 1 am a democrat, epeaking to democrats. It will not be ee we, at least, should inquire | bow our voter are to ne great democratic party of the Union. We at least believe that the best preserving the Usiow as it was framed, and of promoting the prosperity of the country, consist io placing the wer and influence of the federal government tn their ands. To the South it is, and ought to be, endeared for ite immense exertions and sacrifices to secure ite rights under the coostitution. To the whole country it ough: to be endeared, for, im principle and in practice, it has shown iteelf for the mokt part a consistent representative of (is genius and interests of the American people. I have heretofore adverted to the progress which has been mute ob the question of Southern rights by the action of the government. It is almost entirely to the demooratis party that we owe this advance in the cause of trath and justice and the covstitution. The spirit aud deter a} om with which that party bas persevered in this great cause, in the face of decimation and proscription at fd North, is worthy of all praise. It ought, thea, 10 be « matter of grave cousideration with us’ as to the best course to be pursued, consistently with principle, to build wp the ipfiaeaces of the party, and to restore its nciuence over all the eection® of the confederacy. 1 be. sere, in my heart, that in this case the path of principle 8 the path of expediency and safety. The Convention which nominated Breckimridge and Lane has placed the party upon the true grouads, upom principles with which victory would be worth something, and secure to us permanent fruit. That " teaven tion, too, expressed the opinion of nearly all the States which exhibit at present efficient representative democratic strength, and nearly ail from which we can reasonably ‘hope for eicc- votes for @ democratic President. Tne great body party stand, therefore, upon a trae platforin of principle. If we can conquer with them and upon their principles, we achieve a victory which will be worth T ‘hing to us and the couatry. Let us then rally to we may safely do 80 upon all cops derations whether of principle or party expediency. In these States, together, a8 i have said before, with large eym: pathizing minorities in mapy of the non-slaveholding States, we shall concentrate a great political power, that wil apna platform from which it mast exercise Acreat moral {fluence over the country. The conserva: Lives every where will see that tuese are the true defend ers of the Union, the constitution and the peace of the country. Wielding, as this party would do, a great po- litte] and moral force, it would scatter before it all mere political combinations for the sake of the spoils.

Should the election go to the Hoves—which seems at present to be our best hope—I Suppose there can be no doubt but that he will command he votes of more Siutea in that body than Judge Douglas can hope to do. Nor is the issue in this election, so far as democrats are to consider it, one of Union: or, if there be | such an iseue presented, then the vote for Breckinridge is the one most likely to save the Union. Suppose the democrats of Virginia and of some other Southera States were 10 divide on this question, and many of them yote in favor of a candidate who believed that the inhabitants of Territory could exclude the slavebolder from it, | Would not such a course increase the sources of danger 10 | the Union? On the one hand, would it not remove the restraints of fear from the seif styled republicaus, when they saw the South thus divided on the question of auch a rigit? And, on the other hand, would nut tho discoutent ed Southern’ States be more apt tw seeede when they saw | | such @ division in the South, and bad thus lost all hope of | | a united Southern support to the righis of the slavebold | ing States under the constitatou! And what would be- | come of their friends in the non-slaveholting States—so | gullact and true—who have stood by us in the assertion | of our constitutional rights! They would disband, never to take arms again in our defence, when they felt thom | selves thus sacrificed by the divisions of the Svath, and | deserted by those to whom they had given a disiaterested support. The only iséuc, then, presented by this democratic division 1S that’ of squatter s)- vereignty. I use the phrase, uot by way of | derision or reproach, but #8 a common term which saves circumlocution. Upon such an issue a3 thie, can the de mocracy of Ving’, or of tue South, hesitate, or doubt That a large majority of the deruocrais of Virginia wiil entertain no doubts, I verily believe, But amoogst the democra's who maintain that the intabitan:s of tue Ter ritory, before it is framed into a State, can exclude the slavehoider, is it possible tbat there are Virgiuians enough to defeat the party in this State, which holds the contrary doctrine, aud thus destroy its ascendancy’ Sach fu event, io Buch ‘times, and upon such issues, | should regard a: « great public calamity, for that woald render | | probable the defeat of the wholé party, as past history | | shows that hitherto it bas found ia the Old Dominion its | chief etronghold and best place of defence. For ourselves, it would be @ s vere humiliation aud mortiticatian to find the prestige and renown of the democratic line of the Old Dominion lost and destroyed by tts own divisions and dissensions. Is that glorious old bauner which for so many years, and in 80 many conflicta, like the white plume of Navarre, bas been the rallying poiat of demo- crate throughout the land, to be trailed now ignomini- ously in the dust, and that too by the very Lands which should bave been raised to support ity Aud here in this land, rich in the trophies and monuments of the achieve- ments of ite democracy. are we to witness its dizgrace in self intl defeat’ I will never believe ia such a re- | ved until Teeeit I have said before thai I could not ee Iknow of able and prudent men who have nigh Jost hope, and seo nothing but gloom in the fu- tore The cloud’ which hang around our political horizon they say are but the storm shadows Men y ap m4 the coming revolution.

Bat, fellow citizens, if instead of that proud specta cle, the democratic party of V: ‘irginia shall ‘ietoat iteclt by by its own divisions, and if ite members shall turn their arma against cach other, I ehall then hardly know how to hope. I will not say, after tbat will come the deluge, but I will 3 say that our ‘political future will then “a great perbaps.”” But the Virginia demoor not fall asunder by its own divisions or suffer defeat upon its own soil.
