We are delighted to see the Union yester-
day morning rise with restored serenity, and
we must be permitted to unite our congralua-
tons upon the Frightening signs which the
Northern horizon presents. We were always
satisfied that when the great manufacturing,
commercial, and mercantile interests of the coun-
try came TO consider the injury which fanatics
assuming to speak in their name were doing
them, 'they would rise in the majesty Of their
power and pronounce for the Union in voice not
to be mistaken The enemies of Union, firing the
popular mind at The two extremes, have availed
themselves Of the casual prejudices against
the Federal Legislature, and have sriven
to effect a purpose which monarchs have
warred and ministers intrigued to attain.
They would destroy government which
has excited the wonder Of the wise, the love
Of good men, and the malignant enmity Of
tyrants and slaves The great Union meeting
Of New York will have most valuable inilu-
ence upon the country. We learn that the
continued and extending agitation may posi-
bly, induce an organization at the North upon
the issue Of Union and Disunion. We shall
then have an opportunity at the North and
South Of determining what fraction Of our pop
ulation prefer the severance Of the Union to the
supremacy Of the laws.
