Jo cher ishing the principles, as well as the sagacity, integ lity, and moral firmne.-s of such men you nnd I cannot be wide apart, much less can we he said to have undergone any serious cli.in'; II-nee we stand on lho same platform, iogdh.r with a vast multitude of the great and the;;.iod of each of our great noiihern and southern sections of our beloved country. In such a brotherhood we "have been lovely in our lives, and will not be divided in our deaths." I Lilon' lo ihe number nf ihosc who have always known the value unci indispensable importance of the south in the commencement of our great nation al struggles, and lo the growth and vigorous devel opment of 'our nation's glory in every point of view. We cannot prosper without the mutual allegiance of llie soulh und north. We in our unbroken commu nion of attachment to our southern brethren have suffered no small reproach in our being denominated " nortlicrn men wilh soullurn feeling." All this biting sarcasm we have disregorded and thrust oslde, and wo ate determined lo persevere in this disregard, esteeming the reproach attached lo our love of the Union greater riches than lite pciiv triumphs of froclional factions. Hut this general declaration is not intended to satisly your earnest appeal lo our former friendship und communion on the great topic of our mutual concern. While I remain unchanged in my sympathies foi the south, I belong to lho brotherhood of ihe great American Confederacy. I consider the f 'niou as the head and heart of us all. All that ali'ecls the glory and permanency of that Union belongs to you as much as to me to the soulh as well as to the north -yea II belongs to the world. I am on ihe platform which ihe first executors of our Constiiution established in 17S7, against lho ex tension of slavery beyond the constitutional limits -beyond the districts originally acknowledged by our national compact, and those afterwards acknowl edged by the national legislature.
