written ON parchment it might perish But IL Is
engraved on the tablature OF every lfue
heart Once when | had been travelling loI Hi"
nv weeks in foreign land, stranger among
strange people, hardly recognising single worn
that sounded on my ears, approached 1I I;un'r
coast of France, and amid a cloud OF shipping
boverino in distant harbor, | saw floating from
tho mast head of a vessel the familiar stars ana
stripes of my native country. Stretching my
hand toward the setting sun, L Involuntary eA-
claimed,
sWher'ere | roam, what other land see,
! Nv heart uutrameld fondy turns to thee"
Sir that is the sentiment which gushes up from
the deep fountain of ever American bosom ana

TLoud cheers Dissolve this Union There Is
too much of human progress, human nope anu
hnman well-being, involved IN It's existence 10 d.
low it to be dissolved | will tell you, sir what
will make our institutions as endearing as time
Il is because that, while the people will religious
Ilv observe and perform in their letter and spirit
all constitutional obligations, and Will MAINTAIN the
absolute supremacy of the laws, they Will also
exercise the freedom of speech and the press, the
RIGHT of assembling and petidoning, and will resist
every encroachment upon the nVlolablllty OF the
writ of haJeas corpas, and the privilege OF the
trial by jury. Loud applause Dissolve TINS
Union! Why, sir, the men yet live among US,
who have seen few feeble colonies, scattered "a
long the Atlantic coast, inhabited by less than
three millions of people, expand into contedera-
CIV of thirty-one independent States stretching Its
territory from the granite shores of New England
to the golden strand of California, and from the
pine forests of the lakes to the orange groves OF
the Rio Grande, teeming with twenty four mil
lions of intelligent and prosperous treemen, and
becoming richer in all the elements of true great
ness than any nation under Heaven. And, sir,
the grandsons of these aged men will live to see
this confederacy grow under our glorious Constr
tuition, till its population Outruns the march o.
E enumeration, till its territory, washed by two
oceans, reaches from the arctic SHOWS of Labrador
to the tropic heats of Panama, and till the sun as
he traverses this wide domain, neither rises upor
a master nor sets upon a slave. Loud continued
/ applause. | conclude by proposing to you the
immortal sentiment of Daniel Webster:
{ Liberty and Union, now and forever, one anc
i inseperable."
Such are the glowing eulogies passed to thu
Union by the great heads and fronts of free-soil
u ism in New York from the wing and democratic
; parties. Strike out the name and alluson to New
d Cork State and City, and one would suppose tina
= he was reading listening to speech of one o
Il our submission Union orators in Georgia or Ala
il bama. & The Union now and forever" eXclaim
Mr. billiard " Indssoluable Union between tn
= sister States - Liberty and Union, and for
J ever one and inseperabIe,'' responds Messrs. Sc

Il Stantontes and Unonites in the North. We con

1t invited? Is this the Union, for the preseryatio
II of which Southern men are now being rallied i
{ the South Union, in the language OF Mr. Stan
ton, where III time to come, 1.-The sun, as he ira
0 verses this wide domain, NEITHER RISES UPON
y MASTER NOR SETS UPON A SLAVE - All efforts q
l. dissolution of this Union are resisted by the fire
% soilers Seward, Stanton and Co., because with
) ON the Union the abolition of slavery could not
e effected yet they, with Southern Union orators
o are alike for the UNION NOW AND FOREVER
