DIR. Gilman spoke of the Union in the
most eloquent manner. He alluded to
the dissensions and distractions that as
sail it. and expressed the hope that the
magnitude Of the interests involved
might constitute its safeguard.
He believed it impossible that the u
nion could be permanently dissolved.-
A division would be like tho dividing of
waters with your hand, only to rush to-
geiher again in their former channel. -
Moral causes would prevent dissolution
The steamer, the railroad and the tele-
graph concur with the action Of these
moral causes.
He said that if the Union, for while,
