One thing l do know, sir, only one of
the three can be president, but let who
will be elected, all the fiVe understrap-

care for Mississippi About as much
as she will hence!orth care for him.
Bnt all that have said, all the vast
interests involved in this controversy
are to be disregarded, and stern reali-
ties are to be dissipated into thin air,
by the potent spell Of the magic word
"UnioH." Sir, there is no Southern
man whose heart has not felt the power
Of that spell. In the South, attach
ment to the Union is matter of senti-
ttent. In the North, 1t Is matter Of
calculation. The conlnror, who uses
the word To blind the minds and palsy
the limbs Of others, feels nothingof its
power over himself. Had the Union
been to the North what it has been II
US, the North would have dissolved il
