DISSOLUTION OF TIE UNION.

Mr.. McDuffie's project for The dissolution of
the Union and the formation of three sePerate
con federacies, is rehuked, as ii deserves IA be-
by the Wing pressi though the Iocoiocn press
is remarkably silent on the subject. Mr.. NJ
Duflie being distinguished member OF the Lo-
coloco party, and connection bymarrtage with
Mr.. Van Buren,, probably induces the leaders OF
that party TO look with charity upon his treason
able suggestions or designs. So strict is the
party drill among thai s'se.vie herd,'' that not
even TREASON itself, in one of their number, can
induce them to denouuce the traitor.
Mr. McDuffie maintains that /! the Union were
divided into three separates coafederacies, one
in the Southwest, one in the Midwest, bod one
the Northeast the South would export 81 90.
600 900 worth Of products and obtain in return
$4,000 600 OF Imports. A duty OF TO per cent
would give them revenue of &l2 .000000. In
this way he thinks they would live with some
comfort
s Now allowing this statement 10 be correct
what, let enquire, is the South to do with thi.
$4,000, 600 OF imports--or allowing $4,000,
900 to foreigners for the porfits OF the carry ing
trade-with this Si00,000,000 ofmportsa The
South is not large consumer Of Inquiries. Her
slaves and poor whites require litle but coarse
cotton aud wollens and the cheapest description
OF groceries; while the number of her people
who in good circumstances is very small in
deed in proportion to the mass The amount
which Mr.. McDuthe expects the South to con-
sumo, is one sixth of the whole amount consum-
ed in Great Britain, whose population is 10000
000-four times the population of the whu
South
1t has always been the fashion with certain
class of Southern politicians, John Randolph
among the number, to decry the Union as bene-
fetal only to the North. The South if they are
to be believed. is far off under the Consti-
tuition than SHE was under the colonial system.
w as the Judgment of those men equal to theii
ANIMATION. they would look elsewhere than
TO the Union for the cause oftheir dilapidation.
The people OF the South have with a fe W excep-
tions neglected the great precept OF the Creator
thar man shall earn his bread By the sweat OF
his brow-and have suffered accordingly. II
they will not WORK, how can they expect TO EAT
TROY Wing.

There was a great stir here, day last

and began TO collect in groups To learn OF the
matter. Some declared that the phenomenon

expressed his opinion IN regard to the snags in

OUR CHIMES RELATIONS.

The English papers, by the most recent arrivals
have been making themselves very merry at the
prospect of the FIGURE they imagine the French
and American ambassadors appointed to China
will make when OIL tn cir arrival among the Gel
estials they find that their intended work has
been done by the British Plenpotentiary, inas-
much (say they) as a Supplementary Treaty has
already been signed by Keyiug aud Sir Henry
Pottinger, securing to all nations the same
privileges in China that are accorded to the En-
gsh.
The following from the New York CONNER
ciai A dverlisef presents the matter in differ
ent aspect.
I'VE cannot help suspectng, moreover. that
the sarcastic mrlh OF the Times and other En-
gish papers is somewhat forced; il has very
much the appearance OF coming from the wron G
side OF the mouth. We doubt whether Sir Hem
ry Potunger would have agreed to any sdch trea-
~ ii he could have helped it; and in fact we
doubt whether any such treaty has been made.
a more accurate description of the document
would be, suspect, one representing II as

nese to The English negociator, that China in :

'One acre OF ground. well cultivated, in West

following statement:

To secure a majority in the Senate when
Mr.. Clay comes in as President, in March,
lS45, as only l6 wings then hold over, it
will be seen that the wings must carry ma
jority in the legislatures of 10 States, which
will give them 26 Senators, )ncluding those
who hold over,) and leave party questions to
be settled by the casting vote of the Vice
President. The locofocos have already gain
ed two States from us, viz: Mississippi and
Michigan, and will confidently expect to
carry New York by their present large ma
jority in the State Senate, which will proba-
bly, controle the joint ballot in the Legisla-
ture, unless we carry the city next fall, as
we must. On the other hand, the wings
have chances to gain Senators in Maine, Ohio
and Pennsylvania. We urge upon our friends
in all the States, where u. S. Senators are
to be elected this year and the next, to strain
every nerve to carry their Legislatures.

A FUNNY INCIDENT.

Alta Locofoco Convention recently held
in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, friend of
Mr.. Cass moved resolution TO the following
effect
"Whereas General LEWIS CAss emgrat-
ed to the west from New Hampshire in ear
~ life with his knapsack on his back, and
unsheathed his sword in repeIlng the Ind-
ans from our Northwestern frontier, and in
fighting against the British in the last war:
Therefore, ResEred, That he ought TO be
supported by the Democratic party for Presi-
dent of the United States.''
A brother locofoco moved to amend the
resolution by striking out the name of 'Cass,
and inserting the name Of Martin Van Bu-
rem which motion, after an animated discus
sion, prevailed. Some one called for the
reading of the resolution as amended where
upon, lhe secretary, in loud voice, com
menced reading:
"Whereas General MARTIN VAN buren,
emigrated to the west from New Hampshire
in early life with his knapsack on his back,
and unsheathed his sword in repeilng the
Indians and fighting against the British.''-
BY the time the Secretary had got thus
far the absurdity of the thing became SO nun
ifest that the same Locofoco who moved the
amendment sprang TO his feet, exclaiming.
" Tut, tat, tut, Nr. Chairman, that'l never do F!
| move to lay the affair on the tables" and
there it was laid accordingly.

following item ola bellicose character.-
From the recent difficulties with the Nor
mons, we should not be surprised at seri-
Gus outbreak in Northern Illinois before
many months have elapsed:
"We understand that four wagons passed
through this city on Tuesday morning last,
on their way to the State arsenal at Alton,
for the purpose of procuring arms and mu-
nitions of war, to be used against the Nor
mons. We fear much trouble will grow OUT
of this difficulty sooner or later. We are al
so informed ihat the knowledge of what is
going on in this quarter has been brought 10
the notice of Gov. Ford, and we would sug-
gest whether it is not the duty OF his Excel
lency to protect the innocent IN
their lives and property"
