Spirit of the DisuniOn Press.

Some of the more ultra OF The disun-
ion papers of the South are getting bold
er and holder in their language. For ex-
ample the Columbus Geo. Times ex-
presses itself in this style:
ave believe dissolution Of this Un-
ion is inevitable. We know it is neces-
sary to save the institutions of the
South. We know that the fierce spirit
of fanaticsm that has got control OF this
government will strangle and destroy
these institutions, unless they are right
speedily Withdrawn from its power
We know that the destruction Of these
institutions will convert the smiling
South into hell on earth, which hardly
men, much less woman and children
could endure. Believing all this relig-
ionsly and fully, it would be as weak as
dishonest in us to advocate any other
remedy than the only effectual one, TO
wit, TO withdraw from the Union whose
embrace is death, whose breath is pesti-
lential.''
The commander in Chief of the Dis
unionists in South Carolina, the Charles
TON mercury, eAciaihs.
.The Union cannot be saved. 1t is
not worth the saving, though il could be
done by turning on ones heel. 1t is a
confederacy of sections, not Of States,----
their bonds of affection are all burnt "a
way, and the passions that have swept
ON this consuming course, now, form an
impossible gulf between them. No
earthly power can save this Confederacy
from dissolution"
At an enthusiastic Disunionist Dem
onstration at Abbeville, Henry county,
Alabama, resolutions were unanimously
adopted declaring it the firm conviction
of those there assembled,
"That secession by the southern states
from the confederacy is the rightfui and
efficient remedy, unless our constitution
al rights of equality in the Union are
restored and in future properly respec-
ted"
And the assembling Of the next Nash
Vile convention was hailed as the first
step towards the
withdrawal of their delegated author
ity pnd rights from Union which has
ceased to answer the ends for which il
was established. and become an engine
Of robbery and oppression"
The Estate Guard Of the 18th, q
journal published at Wetumpka, Ala, in
speaking of The late disunion meeting at
Kingston, says:
elf we are not mistaken, old Autauga
is right upon this question; her people
are in favor of secession beyond a doubt;
and if the feelings Of those we met duf-
ing court are to be taken as criterian,
we feel confident in saying that nine
tenths of her voting population are in
favor of secession as the only means to
maintain the independence Of the South. "
MIssissippI.-The Free Trader, pub
lished at Natchez, Miss, says, the peo-
pie there are ready for secession---come
what may. "Let majority vote fol
us" the Editor exclaims, and then We
will see who will fight"
The Republican, paper published a
Woodville Miss, says:
awe must and will secedc from this
Union. Either we must submit to dis
grace, and soon to Abolition, with all ITS
horrors, or we must prevent it and that
is by secession"
ALABAMA IN ARMS THE people Of
Dale Alabama. on Monday week, had Q
Regimental muster for review which
brought out some six or seven hundred
persons. At the conclusion Of the par
ade, and previous to breaking the regl'
mental lines Col. Hughes, totest the feel
ing of the regiment, called upon all those
who desired the re-assembling of the
Nashville Convention, and who were
determined TO sustain its recommends
ton at all hazards to step forward hive
paces--and no sooner was the wore
given than the entire line, as far as Tho
request could be heard, stepped forward
in solid column. Such (says the Mobile
Herald, )-such is the feeling in Dale.
