I counsel you, in tlie second place, to
realize the fact, that the “war of sections”
is at an end, and that the great majority
of those with whom you were recently en
gaged in deadly conflict, sincerely desire
the speedy restoration of that friendly re

characlerized the intercourse between the
to and established, aud, thereby, of pro North ; business will revive ; the price of

So far the two parties agree. From
this point they diverge, and present mo
mentous issues to be settled by the Presi
dential election. The Radical party
not willing that the revulvution shall stop
with the war, and where the war left it.
Ever since the war they have been push
ing on tlie revolution—pushing it on by
acts, avowed by their recogni-.ed leader,
Thud. Stephens, to be outside the Consti
tution—pushing it on by fraud, and viol
ence, and military tyranny, or still more
odious and oppressive negro supremacy.
Not satisfied with destroying the right of
secession, they are seeking to destroy the
little remnant of State sovereignty vet
left to the States — the right of each State
to regulate the elective franchise within
its own limits, and other lights essential
to local State government. Nor do they
stop at the total destruction of State
rights. They are manifestly trying to
destroy the consttutioual rights and pow
ers of the President and the Supreme
Court, and concentrate all power in Con
gress. When Mr. Pendleton said, in his
late great speech at Bangor, ihat the ob
ject of the Radical party was to convert
the United States Government into a
“unity instead of a Union,” as our lath
ers made it, he took a statesmanlike view
of the issue, and happily expressed it in
a well-pointed phrase.
In addition to this the Radicals, not
content with the abolition of slavery by
the war, now seek to carry this branch of
the revolution further than the war car-
two sections of the Union. To those, ! r ied it. They seek to establish the politi-
moting another revolution ; whereas, as our property will enhance, and we can at
