Dissolution of the Union.-We never hear nor
read threat or suggestion, about dissolution of
The Union, without feeling OF indignation against
the Traitor who utters it, The Farewell admoni-
ton of Washington, to ..frO,on Indignantly upon
The first dasoning Of every attempt TO ALLEVIATE any
portion Of our country from The rest, or 10 enfeeble
The sacred lies phich noto link together the uarious
paris" is inslnctively and literally obeyed by ev.
ery motion of our heart. Such was the feeling
excited by the presentation Of the execrable Pel-
ton from some few PARTICLES in Massachusetts,
by Mr.. Adams, asking for dissolution Of the Un-
ion.
But the impudenco and hardhood of large
portion of the Southern members OF Congress
battles and coniounds US! The presentation of
a scraggy petition from few political Mormons
at the Morrill, has aroused burning zeal for the
Union among those who have for years been strug-
Cling to distract aud rend that Union! Yes, Mr..
Adams is to be expelled for presenting Petition
for dissolution of the Union, accompanied with
the declaration that he was opposed 10 the prayer
of the Petitioners, and wanted TO make report
against them. And those who would expel Mr..
Adams for this have been among the oudest fer.
cest DISCLAIMERS for Notification, Southern Con-
federacy and Disunon Threats of ''dssolying
the Union" from South Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia, are as '.lamiar as household words."-
And yet the men who handy these threats are
camorous for the expulsion of MIR. Adams.

Distressing Casuaiy.-We have TO record one
of the most melancholy events, we were ever
called apon TO announce.
On Saturday evening last, young lady OF this
village, Miss Susannah Muvey, started in sleigh,
in company with young man, for the purpose of
visiting some friends. They travelled on the riv-
err as the custom is, generally, during the winter,
in passing from this village to and from places on
The river in It's vicinity. About four miles from
the village, they drove directly into hole in the
river, which, in consequence Of The velocity of the
current, was not frozen over The young man
eaped from the sleigh and was saved. The sleigh
instantly sunk and the unfortunate young lady
went down TO a watery grave She shreked ms
she disappeared beneath the ice, and the fearful
death-struggle must have insantaneously occur
