The constitution was maie for her ‘The constitution was a compact entered into on the unm that the majority should govern aud legis- to certain laid down rules—by the laws as received from the hands of Washington and the other patriots of the Revolution—by laws specttled in the constitution. (Applause ) Will the South permit you to trench upon the constitution as given to the coua- izy by the patriot fathers—the constitution which was to-day as it was then. Your fathers then agreed to allow that our fathers should, in ali time to come, be governed by the provisions of the constitution. You may alter it. you may change !t, because you have a a deed physical force to us; but there is @ certain feeling within the breast of every Southern man; that feeling is loyalty to the fundamental institutions of the land; loyalty is the pride of the Southern boart; to this very aour and to that loyalty, and to these fundamental principles of the government and constitution she now appeals (Appiauge ) Mind you, the South asks for nothiag that is not ber right. She claims nothing from you that is not ber due. She stands upon the platform of the con etitution where you stand—your peer, your equal. (Ap plauee.) Mheosver 708 propese by a system of hocus pocns legisintion indirectly to undermine or get rid of the constitution, or to carry it out according to the mere will of the majority, the South will hold up that ioasru- ment to ry and say to you, by this you must be guided, and will further say to’you that eo long a you are loyal defeacers and observers of the constitution you ere our brethren. But attempt to set it aside, to destroy it, to trample it under your foot, thea I teli you by that first act of jon, of invasion upon our righta, we are free and independant. (Applause.) Gen- tlemen, God has given that instinct to the poor worm that whea it ia tread cpon it will tura against the foot that tramples it. Wo, thank God, are men, sentient, in- telligent mea, who ‘know our rights aud who dare to maintain ‘them. (A) In the advocacy of our rights we do not aseail, oor do we in any way trench upon your rights. Ia oar advoca- cy of our own rights we simply ask ef you gentiemen, to curb your wili, restrain that passionate de- tire for the advancement of power, let not a mere feeling of pride create and force an emnity against us. Rise to the high elevation of good and wise mea, who will do to othere ag they would have otbers do unto them. (Ap- plause.) I have been asked here to-night certain ques- tions, whieh I deem it right to anewer now, at the pre- gent.” Que of the qacstions is, “Would you consider tue election of Abrabam Lincoln aa President a sufficient Orton?” 3 of Mr. Lincola being elected, and any of tho States attempted to secede, woull you support the General governax pt and the other Stetes in maintaining the in togrity of the Union?” The first question ts a ion— (Lavghter and This is not the time to dght, Certawwly.
