Disuniom at the south.

Vernnient than any other milton on EARTH We think
that feeling of attachment to the Government, it
is to the Constitution, and TO the union of The
States, is even now more universal among the peo-
pic, than the feeling of attachment and loyalty
under any form Of Government in the universe.
We regret TO say that the evidence of the gradual
decline of that feeling constantly forces itself upon
our unwilling vision. Deep murmuring comes up
from the South; and always finds willing and ready
echo in the halls of Congress. Tint which once
deep feeling of attachment to the Union is now a
mere sentiment. The time was, when CAL
culated its value. DisuniUn was a sentiment not TO
be tolerated, and the who would have spoken
out such sentiments, would have won for himself an
infamy lasting as did Benedict Arnold or Aaron
Burr. Now there men in the South who openly
preach Disunion This class, we hope, are not nu-
merous yet convinced there thousands
whose hearts are with the more bold, but who have
not yet nerved themselves up to speak the words of
TREASON. The latter class are those who are not
satisfied with anything that comes from the North.
No concesson-nO compromise will suit them. They
pretend to in every proposition however conciliu
tory conservative, nothing but ''insult to the
South" and talk fiercely of "resisting to the last
extremity" They shave been wronged" by ''North-
ern aggression" and thirst for revenge, aud 10
quench that thirst, they drink the fountain Of bit
ter waters. This feeling is yet in its chrysas state,
but is fast taking form and shape, and we greatly
fear that the Nashville Convention will breathe into
it the breath of lfe We say fear because we should
regret a party of avowed disunionis,s organ
lied any where But if they must exist, the sooner
they separate themselves from the two great political
parties and like The northern aboitionsts whose al
lies and coworkers they IRE, form distinct and sepa-
rate party the better for the country Let them take
off the musk and openly the badge. That such
monsters exist we submit the proof in the following

wealthy planter of that vicinity
"Discontent exists among the quiet reading rejecting

point when thinking men look round for remedy. That

be cOmplele-periect; and none other IN my opinion
can be eectual and lasting. All others quack pal

of the South, look this matter firmly and calmly in
the face, and make more compromises. If perfect
equality of political power offered you, reject it,
If amendment of the constitution the plan of MIR
Calhoun, offered reject it, Let separation henceforh
alone be your plan for surely there is nothing valuable
in Union of such ncoherent materials
and southern states.
Another letter from different part of Mississippi
contains the following reasonable sentiment:
"Sr, the dissolution Of the Union is not only growing
into favor, but already is proposed that the Southern
COnfederacy clause shall be inserted prohibiting the
abolition of slavery in any State in the confed-
eracy, unless Withdrawn from the coniederacy. We
wish no antagonisc principles introduced into the
Union The people of the South have been slow TO dis

and sparsey populated States successfully resisted the
most powerful nation of the eighteenth century, with her
Canadian provinces (not disafecied) the border.

As example of the feeling which is springng up in
the South, give extracts from two letters received
yesterday:
