So long as the popu nr mind was not divided by sectional quee- t ion?so long aa the governing majority had < la raniificati_one- throughout the whole oil"try, and permeated alike each section, i leiiher section bad anytliing to fear, be- ] use it represented alike the interest of taali. Neither bad the minority any cause 1 >f fear, for the majority not only represent- i d the section through which it was scatter- < id, but from the nature of socity lints ait- f imed, the mojority might and would shift i rum one party to another; so that the mflority of to day would be Clio majority of i o-uioiTow. To-day Georgia and Maasnchu- | elts would be found voting togetiier rn tho ' ncjoiity, And South Carolina and New j Inmpehire voting together in the minority. ' ind yet, the minority thus constituted, had j lothing to (car from the hostility of the j najority so constituted, becnuse Georgia ] ould not betray the interests of Sonth Ca- ? olios without deserting Iter own ; neither ouW Massachusetts betray New Hampshire " rithout proving untrwe to herself. But 1 hould tlie country become seclionalized, ' tid one section, because ot a larger area of J erritory, its capacity to sustain a denser j opulntion, and because of th? greater hondgenotisncss of its population, breome the ^ eat of a fixed and permanent majority, it t one* becomes Apparent, tbat though the ( .11 ms of government may be pcrmittetl to , emain the same In its relations to a sectional rrd hopeless minority, (he whole spirit f j lie Government will have undergone a to- j *1 change, and as great a revolution Will , ( nvo paosed upon it as if the minority hnd ( A... ..

And it follow* aa a further sequence from those, that should two people, differing from eaoh other in gonitis and spirit, in Interest, in occupation, in habits of thought and habits of living, in social iny stitutlons, and in all whish makemt^s individuality of national ehM|^ttl\nappon Ajbe placed under the sgve Government, th^mwnot long ripW equal in #> .

Tbc_ttro great aeotioae of the Union contain two distinct peoples, differing from each other in spirit, in intir-*h in habits, In social institutions, and in all which iv> to make up individual character of nations, tuul so widely differ ing that they nre now arrayed against each other in "11 the bitter hostility which the discord of antagonistic institutions and opposing iqferests lias engendered, nurtured and matured. The sectionalism or the Union, then, is complete, and can never lie obliterated until the institutions of one section have been destroyed, nnd its individuality merged nnd lost in the other. There is an "irrepressible conflict between the North .and the South." In this struggle between the two great sections of the Union, which of the two is likely to h? overcome and finally absorbed by the other ! At the .formation of the Government, the daveholding section was largely In the inaorlty of States. But since that time she iss silently, but with even, uninterrupted >sce, retreated southward on her northern rentier, and now the non-slavelioldlng sec- | ion contains ? majority of votes, which ;ive to it entire control of the legislation >f the country. Since the formation of%the Government of new nnd unsettled territory, he slave States have lost and the free States aro acquired of tliem ?.000,000 square dies of slave territory.

The UnfoB. then, h#? become hopelessly icctionolired ; one section inust absorb the >lhcr, and the South is the fniling section. The address of Gen. Knsley was received villi great applause. On its conclusion, Rev. Dr. Furman ascended tha stand. (A synopsis of the address of Rev. Dr. Purma n had been promised to the Secretaries, but was not received in time for pnbli stioa.
