Their occupation is gone, for the time being.
Thank fortune, majority has been found in
both Houses of Congress to crush the mons
trous coalition, of Northern Fanatcism with
Southern Disunionism, which threatened for
awhile to involve this glorious Union in civil
war The eonfederacy has been fairly but
fearfullY tried, and the result shows. that it is
not to be broken up, by madmen who fight
under the banner of Abotionism, in the
North, nor by the Nullifers, who fight under
the black flag of Slavery, at the South. The
people of this country, however, should not
throw away the significant lesson that has
been taught them, in this session Of Congress.
1t has been demonstrated that we have among
us strong Disunion party, with a northern
and southern propaganda, as it were, establish
ed to sever the bonds which bind US together
as one and the people. That party has al
ready afrightful power, in our popular assem-
blies, in certain sections of the country, and we
have seen it has a strong voice in Congress
Let every good man watch the movements of
this faction, and let their maneavres be met
by a countervailing action, which shall suffice
to frown it down. External vigilance is the
price of liberty" Eternal vigilance can pre-
serve the liberty which We enjoy only as it is
connected with this Union. When once we
carelessly surrender the avenues of power
and place to these demagogues, whether call

mischief-makers as these. They have already
led Us to the brink of civil war. and on some
pretenee they may do it again, if the wel-dis-
pose people of the North and South will give
them an opportunity As Mr.. German, of In
diana, remarked the other day, in his speech
in reply To Mr.. Clark, of this State, when this
nation gets into war, let it be war against
a foreign foe. 81 want the American flag
above my head, and the enemy in front; I
do not want to meet my brethren, my country
men, my friends, displaying the same stars and
and stripes. But fear, if our folly should plum
ge US into civil war, that at about the firing of
the first gun, these peculiar friends of freedom
the Abolitionists, the fanatics, the $50 calledl
Free Soil Democracy of the North-would be
ch artering ship to 90 to some Peace Con-
gress or Convention in Germany" Unques-
tionably they would. But, as We set out in
saying, their occupation for the time being is
gone. twill not be long, however ere they
invent some new plan to rekindle anew the
embers of agitation, which the good sense and
patriotism Of the majority in Congress have
succeeded in extinguishing. Let us watch
them vigantly for the future, so that we may
meet them and crush their mischief in time
