It is pleasant to realise that, however other parties may be divided and distracted, there is nothing with us but unjpn of purpose, and will be nothing but t|Qi6n in action..

The preference of every friend in this crisis wbo'cares more for the country than for liiinselfj"dcvotion to the CRUse and an earnest support of the standard bearers who arc to lead iis through th6 great struggle, will be the controlling sentiment of the democracy, North and South, East and West Wo arp all, I am sure, quite sincere in our convictions that not only the prosperity of this republic, but the perpetuity of this blessed Union, depend essentially upon the vindication and maintenance of the principles declared by the recent Convention. But these principles can be vindicated and eustaind only by concerted action, and that can Olilv be Becurcd bv orfnniziitinri.

Men become comparatively insignificant, except as instruments, when great principles and the vast interests of n country like ours are involved. There will be, on your part, no appcall to unworthy passions, no inflammatory calls; for a second Revolution, like those which are occasionally reported as coming from men who have received nothing at the hands of theii government but protection and political blessings; no declaration of resistance to the laws of the land, 110 invocation to the shedding of blood, by those who have had none to shed when our countrymen have stood facc to facc with foreign foes. But the issue will summon you to a ftalm, earnest struggle for ll IP rmislif nlimi mul for the Union. \^ou will bear yourselves like men determined to cling to tlmt sound instrument as tlie only security from general wreck and the only refuge from universal ruin. Men who fell and act with you will cling to it with patriotic wisdom and steady fortitude, and they will defend it, il need be with, heroic valor against all assaults from without or from within. That a signal triumph awaits you in such a cause I entertain no doubt.?If, as I fully believe, our fathers were not only guarded and sustained through the changing scenes and struggles of the Revolution, but were inspired after its close to devise and adopt tliis constitution by Omnipotent Tower, \vc may repose upon humble but unwavering faith that that Power will not permit the madness of their children to destroy it.

You will prcccive from a publication ii the "True Carolinian" of last week, am the "Gazette" of this week,that!have beci requested to visit the South to raise mei and money by the Pro-Slavery Aasociatioi of Leavenworth, and the association c Carolina* emigrants. To stump the State of the South for this purpose, would traiif cend m}' strength and means, and cousum almost the entire year. It is necessary fo inc to return to Kansas as soon as possible and if the people of the South intend to rais men and money to sustain the pro-slavery pai ty in their present sanguinary contests will the abolitionists, and in their endeavors t make that Territory a Slave State, the; should do it at mice. Delay is dangerous and if the nro-slaverv nartv receive no m.i terial aid and no aoessions to its ranks, i ' will bo overpowered, and the Territory los to the South. ThoStates of Indiana, Illinois Iow:i and Ohio, since 1 left the territory have sent or are preparing foseiid, a strong reinforcement ot' men and large sums c money to sustain the abolition pEftrty, am the South must promptly follow' their ex ample, or see bcr.emigrants butchered am driven from tU&fichl. Up to the 30th da^ of May, I was'in' all the leading struggle; betwecen the pro-slavery and abolition par ties; I have seen blood flow, and lives los ?men arc arrayed ngaintst each other ii iiimvu uuun-s?woiiiuu, cuuurcn ana prop crty have been scut' out of the Territory and civil war is raging. The conviction- pro vails among all parlies West that this con lest just begun, will not stop until th< _ destiny of the Union, ami of the instilutioi of slavery .is determined. The recent bat . ^ tics and slaughters would seem to strength en that opinion. I trust in (?od thatsucli '' may not be the result, but from persona 'e intercourse with and knowledge of the abo lilionists, I candidly believe that their prill0 ciples, interests and governiug motives arc " so essentially different from those of the pro-slavery men, that they cannot live peacej ably together, either in Kansas or in tin. " Luton, and hence a bloody dissolution ot ' the Union is probable.^l^et that bo as il niay,tbe South should at oncc send on men n and money sufficient to guard her rights, and sustain and protect her emigrants. ;r We went to Kansas this spring to settle 13 and go to work, but we were unexpectedly called upon to tako op-arms and aid the United States Marshal in compelling the n* abolitionists to submit to the latf. This ,e duty should have fallen upog- the Govern?s rnent; it fell upon the pro-slayerv men, and 18 we threw our lives and purses upon the side f * of law and order. As a consequonce of^his 18 civil war, business was suspcued, farms desorted, and our expenses swept- away oui y private, means and that furnished us?t home . The war still rages, and our emigrants and friends there must tie supported and strength : cued, or they will bo complied to quit the Territory. ** All funds raised for the pro-slavery part) can reach mc through Col.

SVe contend that i- nothing but a simple misunderstanding be- i e tween the two sections is the cause of our < r present difficulties, anil this explained, MassachuseUa and South Carolina can stand e upon the same platform. But the real is.. sues must be met with sincerity, honesty and courngj&pnnd like all dangers, looked 0 boldly and marifutyy in the face. We are y rapidly approaching a crisis, the greatest crisis ill our historv or in t.li? liiot/^rv ,, v- J - ? ? J t. institutions. Tlio schemes of European L monarchists, begun half a century ago to undermine ar.d destroy our republican sys} tern, are now about to be tested, to be ex- < posed and exploded, or to break up the Uti- | r ion, and with it the last hope of republican ^ ( freedom. < ] We arc no alarmists or union savers. We t . have a profound respect for the popular in- \ j telligence, and an uudoubting faith in the t r virtue and patriotism of the masses, and i j on all questions where all alike have the t _ same opportunity to inforitt themselves, I t wo would not presumo to enlighten or c , to guide others.

Proper Views. In the Connecticut Legislature, while tha resolutions denouncing Mr. Brooks were under disotisfeion, Mr. Chapman, of Hartlord, said: 1 do not regard freedom of specch as meaning the right existing in one person to slander and calijpmiate an other without the suffering parly having a l ij^ht to call illm to account. To so regard it, would be making a mockcry of all law. It would --tc, bo to abolish the courtesies of life?to make the gift of language a curse instead of a blessing. The custom of giving utterance to gross personalities in debate, is becoming quito too emmon in this country. It is out of place anywhere, but more particularly is it out of place in the United States Senate. That is the highest legislative body in jijr land, and if decorum of manner and propriety of spcech are to be observed anywhere, it certainly should bo in that branch )f our National Congress.
