Treason and DiSuniOn openly displayed
by the wings.
The following deliberate attack upon the in.
tegrity of the Union, is fom one of the most
prominent whig papers in the Union, the Rieh-
aopd Wig. Rule OF ruin is The old federal doc
trine; but of late, taking Ohio as aspecimcn, they
not only rule, but ruin, also! One day these
whig presses are siding with the British on the
Oregon and Texas questions-on the next, open
by advocating dissolution of the Union, claim
ing that an example is set by the religious feuds
of the country Read this whig organ, and say
if such party is TO be sustainedi
"But the coat must be cut according 10 the
cloth; and nothing is more ndubitable 10 The eye
of historic experience than that Virginia must
either resume her rank in the Union or be thrust
still lower down; she must prepare 10 be con-
lquerer or conquered; TO maIntain, at least, her
isoyereigu footing, or TO sink into province. We
hare lHlc faith that this Union is going to con
tiHue much longer: IL cannot, in the nature Of
things. The unhomogeneousnoss and dss,mi-
larty Of IFS people; their Gushing interests, prn-
ciples, passions and proudiccs; the enormous eX-
tent Of the empire, about 10 exceed anything
! which the world has Witnessed, while it is still
Historically true that the breyiy of empires is al
ways in inverse proportion 10 their magnitude
ercfy prcsdgc ard crery admonition from the
past, wdraS as Of an early dissolution of the
Union. The wonder is not that there will be
dissolution, Gmthdt there has not get been dissO-
luton; as in natural history the phenomenon is
not that man dies, bat that he should live so long;
or, as an old hymn expresses the idea,
''Strangc that harp with thousand strings,
| Should keep in tune 50 long,"
"T'0 dissolution wc mast come. Ii is as abhor-
rent 10 us as to any-but The wise man does not
shut his eyes TO avoid seeing danger as it really
exists, but looks it in the face, to enable him, by
a full survey oft, TO shape his course-to crap
Iple with it, to eudo it, or to learn in time to
submit 10 what is unavoidable.
"Suppose, for argument sake, The Union dis
Solred, no matter By ,choSe agency, acith wha

Igna fare in such contingency? To provide

her statesmen ought 10 develop her resources.~-
The danger which may come, they ought 10 re
gard as certain 10 come, That there is a posi-
bity of our being cnsayod, ought TO be an ar
gument for the adoption Of all possible mean:
which human wisdom can suggest to avert tha
last and greatest calamity.
"Ibc true and only means, indeed, for ,ht
prevention of such a catastrophe, in our situation
are to unite every portion Of the state by bond
of a common interest and common attachment
to make us by intercourse what we are not now
one people," &c.
J. Ths'is backing up Mr. FolIet's Sandusky re
solutions, who, for lis opposition 10 the Union
has been made editor OF the whig organ Of III,
State, President of the Board Of Public Works
and Director Of an affiliated bank! The Wash
Iington Union comments on this bold avowal 0
the Richmond Wing in the proper Split. Dis
, union Of these States is to be the watchwosd c

now desire to destroy the whites, by d,sn2m

party? Let us be pared to meet the crisis
