Enforcement of (ho Lt nn.' That ia my platform just now. There is no divided sentiment iu our Delegation upon that subject. We rccogurzo tbo Couatitu- i at acting direclily upon the People of j, the several Suits, and os having witbiu j itaoif power to compel obedience lo all j laws wade io pnrauoace of its authority, j There hi no ouch thing aa the sovereignty eff the States, cxcopt/in aubordina- > tion to the powers conferred by the peo- j pie upon the General Government. The Sutcs are sovereign in the exercise . of delegated powers. The Union is the ratal! of ll»e Constilulion, ond aa long aa the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, the Union must continue. Hence secession, which destroys the Uaion, Is not only unconstitutional, bnl impossible ll is another name for revrtudaiion and rebellion. I tdoes not, however, follow, as some seem to reason, that because these views ' -are entertained, Jerseymen and New j •Jersey Repmen tatta-i have nothing <o i -do, except to fold their arms and say, : "Oor Southern brcthern are wrong, and j we are right. They arc iryiag to break j "up tbo Government, while we aro trying j to prmrve it; and V ci*H«iV»r and, bloodshed result they are responsible . ond we are guiltless.' j, Wbea the vary cxhAmco of the Ua- j Ion la threatened, as it is just aow, the ' ioqoiry is not, who is responsible tor , the mischief, but rather, how can the' danger be averted f Tbtre, will he liroc enough to talk about, aud fix*" the re-r-FM^^afteMbe discords of tins ^ ' ' j .L fi»rL nlace the "i.-»en t condi- ' Tion. clureetor, and motivg of action of] the Bootliern "people.

The blessings of Uaioti to the people . of New Jejecy are Inestimable. Every- j thing, except principle, sbonld be sscri- j ficed by them to Uic maintenance of the Constitution, As Mr. Seward just- ^ ly remarked in his great speech the other | day, all party success should snbordi- { ) ante to it. It vros u lyml thing for our j fathers to construct it— securing eo many privileges~to the. smaller Bta'.es. — ! If notv broken, it would be still harder j | to rc-consfruct it, securing equal prlt- • i leges 1 iiave given as much attention n* j possible to what seetns to be the reul motive of the Southern people, in their j present course q] action. They have grounds of complaint against some : : States nnd sonic people of the North- , Ntitheryou nor I ever attempted to jut- ' tify Per onal Liberty bills or nnti-slave- | ry orgnniza'io s. I have never beard that any good results have flowed from them ; but I aw quite sure that much Latm has. But, nevertheless, lbs. posi J | tion of our Southern bretbern is utterly | iuexccuasbla. I know of nothing in all j i history equal to (heir infatuation and I folly. Yet I bet are the objects rather; ! of our sympathies thoO our resentments j There seem* lo he three classes amnngst ' them governed by different motives : 1st. Disaniouist per ee. These hate | reasoned themselves into the belief that | j the Union is a harden ond a curse. ' { Their disronltnt* arise more from the i I ttast financial policy of the .General : Government, than from -is legislation j j i* the matter of Slavery. Tliey have i 1 ; seized upon the pra* nt troubjes.to carry ont long-chcrislied desires to overthrow ! ^1 the Constitution and vstabliah a South- ' ern Confederacy. ^ ' 2d. Politkrul drmagotfnea irt the i J South, who started the movement to rtf(tnin power, and who have since encour- j aged it to regain lo*t influence. This class Bud niQch support, I am sorry to1 j say. to certain political organizations j j at the North. Having at stake | I themselves, they • do not care how , much the eoantry suffers liy (he deraage- ! meats of trade and the general postra- ; tion of business. Thry misrepresent the objects and aifns.of the Republican ^ Party, and thus induce the South to ! make unreasonable demands upou the 1 North — not caring to inquire whether,, lhay will be conceded or not, or what , will be lite effect upon an already iiu | flamed public temper, by thoir refosul If the ltcpublicans nhocld saf,- We revere the Constitnllon, and do not wish j to change the handiwork of oor fathers, ' they hope to make capital, by proclaimMug to timid people, how fanatical unyielding, aud--n»compromising the Re- | pub' cms are. If, on the other baad, they Mould yield tsudar the pressure of present olams, they hope to disintegrate the paily, by showing the country that its snpporttni have no faith in its principles, when the time of trial nrrlves. 3d. The largest class are the victim* of the first and soeond. They are really. apprehensive about tbeir safely. They look for nothing except trouble front the inogurotion of a Republican 1 Administration. Thay are sincere, bnt j misled by ilte clamors of the demagogue. * j Tliey honestly believe that the Republi- ; cub Party Is a powerful anti slavery orj ganitat ion — determined, iu its victor- [ ious progress, not ooly -to exclude the J institution of slavery from the lerritor- ; lea, but to overthrow it in the States, j They expect the energies of tho new | Administration to be directed to this end, hence are anxious to secede from a ) Government, which, in its future policy, I threatens them. with' such calamitiet. j The fifa class, we could not oouciiiate i if we .would; the second, we would not 1 "i if we could; bnt this third class embraces many sincere friends of the Uu- | low; whose misappmheoaion should be 1 j removed, smd whose Mfinghands should 1 ; be stianglucncd by t-il true hcarU, in f j evary part of tbo Contolwaoy.
