He showed very clearly that so far as parties have become sectional, the fault is not with those who are advocating the principles of the founders of the Government---not with the Republican party, who are opposing those waging war against those principles---but that the blame must fall upon those who have resolved to jeopard the Union for the extension of an institution which the Statesmen of the Revolution thought an evil in the country, and hoped would ultimately be altogether eradicated from the land.
