TO Til K PEOPLE OF TIIE UNITED
.STATES.
The political aspect of the country
fill* the public mind with palnfUl appre
hension*. Tho peoplo are everywhere
disturbed with the fear of some disastrous
crisis. Many are alarmed for the safety
of the Union. All are conscious that
the sontimonfc of fraternity whioh once
linked the State* together, even more
firmly than the compact of the Consti
tution itself, has boon rudely shaken,
and that dlsiw.'rd luw qropt into tho re
lationship of communities whiuli should
have found, both in the interests of tho
present and in the memories of the past
tlio strongest motives for mutual re
gard and confidence.
What has produced these general and
unhappy conviction* ?
it has been loo apparent to escape the
most Casual observation that, for soino
years past there has (icon manifested h
design, in the movement of influential
political leaders, to forco the country in
to an organisation of {mrtios founded
on the question of slavery.
The Hr*t introduction of this subject
into party politics engendered a con
troversy which has constantly increased
in extent and bitterness, mingling with
or usurping tho place of all other po
litical questions, mid giving. to those
party politics a greater and morn dang
•roil* vehemence. Considerations of
the public welfare scorn to bo cast aside,
to make room for wider and more un-
©strained contention on this single and
engrossing theme.
The two great parties in the country
(the Democratic ami Kepublican) have
hief actors in this fatal con
test, it not its uuthurs. Whether they
hare always exerted themselves to allay
•itwmant to which it gave rise, or
on tlio contrary, have both of them oc
casionally employed it for tiie promo
tion of party purposes, it i*. not for u*
to determine. It is sufficient to note
that the mind of the people ha* boon
Industriously exercised hy this contest
t»l tho service of sectional agitation.
1 that in its i.mgres* the teacliitt’•< of
the lather* of the republic, the ligulsof
history, the landmarks of constitutional
power have been renounced, our old
and revered traditions of policy spurn
ed, arid tiie welfare of the present and
the hope* of the future been brought in
to jeopardy in the altarnat ions of pas
sionate challenge and defiance between
tiie angry disputants.
it is hot our purpose to arraign or to
denounce either of those parties for
their past error* or transgressions, but
we regard it a* an indisputable fact
that by their conflict* they have been
mainly instrumental in producing thu*
pi-esant lamentable state of public af
fairs. 11 would be easy to.cstablish this
(•osition hy u reference to events in tiie
recent history of the country, with
which tiie public is'hut too familiar; but
we purposely ubsti in from uMoonfm nits
upon them, as inconsistent with the
limits of this addre.-s. and as tending
to revive controversies which it U its
object to allay. Wo will simply state,
that the one, by its frequent and un
necessary intrusion of the slavery qu-s-
lion into party polities, has exaspera
ted sectional feeling at the North and
increased .tlio growing spirit of disunion
ut the South, while the other has been

Solemnly impressed with th>
a number of geiitleiueu from ditlcreut
partu of the country, among whom were
members of tho present Congress, and
of Congresses of former date, recently
assembled in the City of Washington
to deliberate on means for averting
dangers to which they may lead.
It was tiie unanimous opinion of the
of tiie meeting, that immediate step
should he taken to organize a “Consti
tutional Union party,” pledged to suji
port “the Union, tiie Constitution and
tiie enforcement of the laws.”
This organization was accordingly
commenced by tho appointment of a
• Central Executive Committee” charged
with the general direction or tho party
ami with tiie preparation of an ad dross
to tho people of tho United States.
Wo need not assure you, fellow citi
zens, that we approach this task with
diffidence and anxiety. We are aware
uf tho difficulty which attends the en
deavor, at any time, to persuade men to
abandon political associations to which
they aro allied, either hy interest
preference,and we know how much
that difficulty is increased when party
attachment is heightened hy the ardor
of expected success, or inflamed by the
zealot'opposition. Hut there uie.nev-
•rthpless* juu tu-eswlmn honest-heart
ed citizen* will bo prepared, at any
sacrifice of prejudice or opinion, to per
form tills duty to their country. It is
tho policy of the dominant purtie
underrate tho reul strength of those
whom disapprobation, imiiti'urence, pr
disgust force into tho position of neu
trals in political warfare. The ordina
ry tactics of parties loach them to dis
courage those whom they cannot enlist.
Hut tiie fact is demonstrable that tiie
numbers who occupy this position at all
times, and more especially ut^ the pre
sent time, constitute a most inMucntml
portion of tho whole people. If the
investigation could be made, there is
reason to believe it would result in dis
closing the fact that, as parties urc now
constituted, little less titan a million of
voters will he driven out of the sphere
of nctivo participation in the coining
election. Tho old whig strength of the
country will be found to furnish no
small contribution to this muss. Even
thoso of that association whohuro been
induced to take sides in recent elections
with ono or the other of the opponent
divisions, acknowledge but scant fealty
to their uew loaders; and tlio greater
number of them will, it is believed, be
prompt to join their old comrades in
rallying to a conservative field to tight a
new battle for the cause of tho Consti
tution and the restoration of lost har
mony. Large numbers of tiie old
Democratic party, who withdrew from
tho lino of march when they discover
ed it loading towards internal strifo, and
the assault of the traditional policy by
which that partv achieved it* former
triumphs, would, we have no doubt,
supply a powerful reinforcement to the
friends of the Union.
In the American party, to which tlio
breaking up of old organizations gave
birth, and which has been active in tlio
endeavor to establish an intormediato
power between tho contending forces
that have engrossed tho field, will bo
found a vory lar^o element of conserva
tive strength to inoroaso the volume of
tho proposed organization.
If wo add to these all that mass of
quiet, unobtrusive citizens, who have al
ways aljunued the turmoil of political
■ t",
life, content to leave the destiny of tho
country in tho hands of those who, In
the ordinary condition of tho national
progress, were most ambitious to assumo
its direction, And who Imvo reposed such
faith in tho patriotism of their follow
men as to feel no concern In the ques
tion of the supremacy of party, but
whom the extraordinary incentives of a
crisis like the prosont, must awaken to
the resolve of an ofiort to proteot the
threatened safety of the confederacy,
we have element* sufficient, by their
combination, to form a great party. U>
which additional strength will be im
parted hy the exalted patriotism of Its
principles and objects. Moreover, it is
only ju*t to tho two contending to say,
that wo do not despair of finding in thu
i-Aiiks ' of oacli, ttmuoraii* individuals
wlio, tired of intestiuo strife, and alarm
ed at the threatening aspect of nUitir*
will unite with the only party which
hold* out to tiie country u prospect of
repose.
Can it be{iOii*ih]o that, with so glori
ous n cause before us, nn appeal to the
patriotism of the land founded on such
ndueements ns thu present exigency
supplies, can fall upon unheeding ears,
or fail to rouse tile national heart to (lie
great emprise of this commanding duty?
Now, when every honest and thought
ful citizen within the broad confines of
>f this Union, every true sou of the r
iitiblic at home and every brother of our
lineage abroad, is tilled wi h dismay at
the sudden rupture of the national con
cord, can it b*» that tho power which is
able to pour oil upon troubled water ami
bring gladness hack to every good
fireside, will withhold its hand from the
labor? that this generation of-A me
citizens, awakened hy the clamor that
threaten* the integrity of out* Union
and conscious ol its ficulty to command
the ending of mad debate, and to re-es
tuhiish the foundations of n healthful
ju*t, and benignant administration of
the duties and benefits of the (Amstitu-
lion, will play the sluggard in this mo
mentous hour, and in •us* tho everlasting
di.nno of passively looking on upon tho
ileiuolitiou of this fabiieol confederated
that thin generation will prove
itself so false to all generations to com
mit. when it has the power t
forbid, the destruction of this glorious
heritage of so many millions of frcetiion
with such immortal memories cluster
ing around the path of their history,
with such grand hoiaw hovering over
er before them, the central
point of «o nuny blessings,tho sulked of
so puny prayers of tho enlightened 'hu
manity of the whole world?
hot all men rctl?et up ui the incredi
ble folly of our quarrel.
The r.onntry is wrought into a tom
pest of excitement. Two great politi*
•ni armies are contending for the mas-
cry. It uli are infuriated with a rage
tInti threatens fearful extremes. The
great mass of law-abiding citizen* art
looking on with amazement, and an om
inous apprehension of mischief. And
yet there is no danger impending over
lie Hepuhlic which human pnssions
linvo not created, nml which human
wisdom may not prevent.
Wo have pointed out the chief source
of tlm present agitation, and think we
have sufficiently shown that neither of
the two parties who nro now stoking
to obtain the control of the Govern
ment cun be safely’entrusted with tiie
management of public affairs. Tho on
ly way lo rvscu • the country from tliei
hands is to organize a party whose cardi
nal principles .shall Iks:—
To rom *ve the subject of slavery froi
the arena of party politics, nud leave
to the independent control of the Stab
in which it exists, nml to the unbiased
action of tho judiciary;
To remove all obstacles from tli
due faithful execution of tho pre
visions for tl».« volition of fugitive
sens presented by the several States at
worthy of the first office in the Govern
ment; and it Will, most probably, find
in tho concurring opinion of several
StatoOmventioas in favor of one or
more individuals, a useful guide to the
most acceptable nomination. And us
it will be restricted in its choice to the
nuinot prosonted, it will under no cir
cumstances oftend tho publio wish by
■electing candidates unknown to, or un
represented by the country.
Whether any other principles than
those we have enumerated, ehall bo
enunciated, it will be for the Conven
tion to determine. “Platforms” have
boon so frequently employed as the shal
low dovices of party deception, that
they have come to be viewed with dis
trust hy tho people. We know of no
higher nml nobler aim thaii the restora
tion of paacoand harmony ton divided
ed and distracted country, and no plat
form more acceptable to every true
patriot than “the Union tho Con
stitution, and the enforcement of the
law*.”
Follow-eitixens, the task that has hoen
allotted to us is performed. We have
pointed out a path by whioh, in our
opinion, the country may bo rescuod
from its perilous position.* It is for you
to determine whether you will purstio
tlntt path, or continue in ono which,
however the approaching struggle may
terminate, may lend to victory hut not
hi peace; to a brier cessation of strife,
but not to a restoration of harmony.

T)RI0R TO the year 1847. Superphosphate
J: had boon made in England, by treating
burnt bones with sulphurfo acid, and by the
formation of sulphate of lhno, thus abstract
ing one atom of lima from the bones, a solu
ble phosphate had boon formed. In 1847* J.
.T. Mopes mode'K'Wriesof experiments, thus:
he found, analytically, that i'erutian Uuano
eontalned the necessary elements for Insu
ring th-i growth of plants, but not in the
right relative proportion* to oath other. Re
instituted aseri--* of experiment*, prnntieal-
1 y, b»- whioh he proved that one hundred
(Niunds of burnt burn.-*, treated with Ally-six
pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty-six pounds
of lNmivisn liunno. twenty pound* or snI-
phsto o r ammonia, formed a mixture every
wny superior to I'eriiviun Uuano, and that
it would not excite tho soil, but would con
tinually add to its fertility.
Us bad found that on.' barrel bt blood,
fresh from the animal, mixed with, a cord of
organic matter, would, by fermentation, pro
duce a immure equal to a cord of well rotted
•table manure. He further found that sev
enteen barrel, of blood, when dried, would
make one barrel, nml that blood could be
procured at coinparitivtly little cost, in cor
al ii sections; tlmt It could bo dried by cook
ing ami prossinz so as to produce a dry pow-
’er. and by adding to the abo.e named lu-
rndieuts an equal weight of dried bullocL'a
jtood.a manuru is "ernicd-one hundred pounds
of which are opual in powur'nml lasting ef
fect to ono hundred and eighty-fire pounds
of the best Perurisn Uuano.
Hince ho ha* oO'erod his invention to the
farmers of the country, sums filly companies
have imitated this article uml.r various
uiunes. and for tli? pur|>ose of rend-ring it
|>epular, huve traduced t'roi. Mapi-s and his
article, claiming touiako thatoi a superior
quality. Every year presents new imitators
of tliii*article. who inuiiiiracture an inforior
article, using the mineral plio.putes as a ba
sis. in.lead of the calcined bones of auiiuals.
Notwithstanding all this, tho demand for
Mapes’ Niire-u-nised Huperpliosihate of
I.im.li.i doubled. .
Peruvian Uuam contains an exesssire
imunt of ammonia, tiie only use of w;hl< a h
is tz rondnr- wiit-r cunalde «»f dissolving a
larger amount of the uiorguiiia consiitiieuts
of the soft,'oral Sometimes called to act as
an excitant. Tho market giirdouer# of New
Utrecht commenced some years ogu by u iug
two hundred weight of guano to tho acre;
they are now fomiiellsd to use twelve hun
dred weight of gnano to produce the same
eU'eet, and their land i* evidently impover
ished by its use. wliilu tliusn wlm have used
the Nitrogcni'cd £ui»erphosphnto of Ulus,
have steadily found their soils to be improv
ed. and instead of requiring more, they re
quire less fertilising material each year. And
this i. particularly true of Tebacco and Cot-
Urn lauds.
Among the advantages arising from the
useot Ntlrogsnised Superphosphate are the
following: It carries no weed «eed to tke
•nil; it prevents rust, and insures the p-rfert-
ins of plant*; thus, when used on (lot tin, the
bolls do not fall and. ns by tilt experience of
Mr. Lomus, Col. Davis, nml ('oi. Goodwin
and others, it gives a greater weight n*r
of cotton. For Wheat, it hus steadily j..—
ed itself to bs superior to the Peruvian Gu-
nuo; when in contact with seed, it does not
destroy it as does tho Pcruviun Guano; and
it supplies tiie deficiency of tho Phnsphat*
of Litno nml other ingrediunts, produced IT
excessive reaping of grain and undue pas
turage.
Tho rnporls of lbs farm of the inventor, of
the American Institute, and committees of
