Who are the Disuniouisss !


 "Ths democratic party Is now, as it always has been, tue buIwark ofthe National Union:'
 WAteh is the DisHRioa Psrty7 This is question which all, who are in favor of the Union, should ask themselves. Let then make the enqaify, and then endcavor to answer it. Let then examine the columns of the whig papers of the North--of the middle States, and of the West-and they will soon know who are the Disunion Party. Lei them read the New York Tribune and Evening Journal, and all the Seward whig papers of New York.
 The democratic party Is now, it always has behn. the buiwark of the NatIonai union. The whg party of all New England is su out and out Free-sOl party. The Boston Atlas. the organ Of the New England whig party, denoutced the great Union speech of Mir. Webster, and endorses the in cendiaEy sophisms of Mir. Seward. 1Ae abolition isis will sOOn swallow the whig party of Yankee dom.
 The Albany Evening Journal, in rply to fal- some letter of laudation of Senator Seward, says;
 "Such demonstrations of con6denci and regard, ever, and more especially, coming to stimulate newed efforts, cannot be otherwise thai gratifying" Come on, gentlemen, Mir. Seward is ,bout making renewed efforts in the cause of the bolitionist- Now's the time to encourage him.
 The inquiry, which is the Disu niouparty com mends itself the whig merchants of Nev Yssk. Let them direct their attention to the subject, and they will soon be able b answer the question to their own satisfaction.
 On the 22l ult, there was sn immpnss and en- thusasiic mass meeting of the demOc hcy of Phila- delphia. "The old and the young of tae democracy were present-the veterans. who hd fought in many hard battle. and who rallied with all their old ardor for the established democratic creed and the young gallant men who have embarked in the same caase-ihe cause of country ans risht--were present in force. But one sentiment animated the compact and living mass; and one ouburst of ap prOval and applause greeted the resolutions and sd- dresses"
 We have not room for the whole proceedings, but the following, which we find among the lutons, are an evidence that the demogats of Penn sylvania are with us in our view of the slavery question aud it's relation to the constitution:
 "4. Resoired, That the constitution of the Uni ted States, vests in Congress Poweito make laws for the people Of the territories, acquired by nexed 10 the Union, but only 'to diipose of and make needfui ruies and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States
 g. ResoloeG, That, by virtue of natural and in- alienabte right of selgovernmeut, thepeople Of the separate territories, when politically oYanizsd, have the power of making their own laws, and of execu- ting them so far as they do not conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States and therefore have then exclusively the right 10 Prohi- bit or allow slavery in such territories
 6. Res0tped, That the principle of the Nilmot proviso is not an harmless political speculation or abstraction, excused if erroneous, by its alleged phiaathropic intent but is the ancient, aris- tocratic perncious and pestlent political heresy, lever repudiated and denounced by the democratic party of the Union,) which seeks, by means of an implication of power of Congress, gradually to un in0 Ina respective States, consolidate the UniOu ani es,ab fish the ruins of State Rights, central soge- regnty, easily controlled or managed by the few at the expense of the many,
 z. ReooiCed, That it is contrary to the spirit in which the constitution of the Union was framed, and by which alone it can be Perpetuated, to abolish by act of Congress the institution of slavery in the District of Columbia, without the assent of the people thereof, and the consent of the States which ceded the district for the of the of the United States
 $. Resoiued. That we call upon our State iegiss- ture. to repeal all laws conflicting with that section of the constitution of the nted States in regard to the restoration of fugitive slaves, that the flu nda mental obligation binding upon every citizen of the Union, and the law of Congress passed 10 carry il into effect, may longer be set a, defiance and the rights of our Southern brethereu irampled under foot.
 9. Resoired, That the same political necessity which required the foundation of the Union. not withstsnding the existence of the institutions of sa very al the time in nearly every State, still de- mands the continuance of the Union, notwithstand. ing the existence of slavery in only one half of the States now composing il.
 10. Res0lped, That the sole hope of the negro race in the southern States, in respect 10 their eventual emancipation from slavery, rests upon faithful observance of the conditions and comprO- misses of the constitution of Union. and that the reckless schemes and measures of the abolition and free-soiI parties sst unting,) directly cacula ted to Perpetuate slavery on this continent In its harshesl form.
 II. Rcssired, That in an exigeacy like the pre- sent, every true democrat will hnd in the demo cratic creed, as proclaimed al Baltimore in ls4s, and understood for half century, the safest guide and the surest protectien and that becomes every lover of this blessed Union. and of the great party under whose administration that Union has pros pered, to avoid all connection with men who con- tributed to our defeat in l54s. and who invoke us to desert our long established aud we'll tried doctrines''
 The following is a resolution extracted from the proceedings of a meeting of the Democracy of Lu- zerne county. Pennsylvania. These resolutions are really encouraging to as. They prove to us that the " bone and sinew" of the land. the hard working, rejecting part of the people. are upon our side, and the side of the constitution. Who shall say then that the southern men are aiming at or attempting dissolution of the Union'
 " Rsssloed, That the territories of the General Government acquired by the blood and treasure of all the States, ought of right 10 bs and remain open for the use and enjoyment of all. Desirable as ii is that slavery should not be extended; and that it should cease to exist everywhere; yet the people of the free States. being in union aud compact by their nsent. and for valuable consideration, with the people of inc slavehOdiug States, and hay ing embarked with them in the acquisition of ter fitory have no right whiio they hold i in common, to exclude them from il. The territories arc the property of the General Government, and there fore one State has the same interes. in them ss another. and every attempt to appropriate them to the sad benefit of some to the exclusion of other States Is arrogant and dishonest"
