There Is an admissioR contained in the
above. that we have o heretofore noticed
IN any wing paper aud which W. are trrly
surprised to 6Bd Ia the columns Of our Ar
gus-eycd n%eighbor. There are among as
disuniOnists from malice a~forethOught, yet
who disclaim il in bouied eulogies upon the
Uuion." Now, it has been the constant aim
Of the wing journals in this State to make
the issue before the people one of Union or
DisuBion. Tie Wing aud Natchez Conrier
both have labored Justify to present this il
sue. They have denied the Staterights party
entertain any affection for the Union. while
they have themselves monopolized the Of
fec Of p~ronopncing "honied eulogies upon
the Union q" From the abundance of the
heart the tongue %speaketh," IS Scriptnral
adage as honored for its truthfulness as for
its age The hearts Of our patriotic Union
friends will occasionally, in spite Of all at
tempts at sappressio gc1l, send bubbling to
the surface, their true sentiments. The idea
that this Union can be saved by subjecting
tic o1,,aest,ttn, 10 rnntipttaI uhncnc tc ~
preposterous as to expect a man to fatten,
whose physical constitution has been under
mined by mercury and arsenic. The ghost
of the Union may be preserved by enbalm-
ing it in the "honied eulogies )" but the
Union itself will have ceased 10 exist in
fact.
There is 10 proposition in our mind clear
er than that the so-called Union party are
the real dis. Unionists. Whether "they hon
estly believe that theirs is tire doctrine to
the Union" Or whether they are actu-
ated by 'malice aforethought," is between
them and their God there is, however, a
due proportion Of both ingredients. If we
are to take the Adams County resolutions
the course Of II. S. Foote, and the political
and sermons of other distinguished
Union men as indications oftheir policy, we
can come to no other conclusion than that
they entertain a settled hostility against
our present system, and that hostility is ba-
sed upon mature reflection. Some of them
declare that slavery is an evil that it is ga
blot and stain upon the escutcheon of the
country others pray for its removal
others oppose its further e~xtension-and
others have gone so far as to declare that
the light which led j. Q. Adams aud the
other apostles of abolition, "was light
from Heaven" Clay, Cass, Seward, Fish,
Sumner, and Webster, stand cheek by jowl
with these Southern patriots, in support OF
Il Compromise which has done more to de-
stroy the Union in one year, than all other
efforts combined, since its formation. These
AN~
gentlemen all pronounce "honied ~eulogies
upon the Union" They say the Compro-
mise is Constitutional-that they will resist
no constitutional act which Congress may
pass-yet the Unionists of the North declare
that slavery shall not be extended further,
and the Unionists of the South declare that
they will break the Union if Congress does
what it has a right to do-repcal the fugi-
tive slave law We want our Union friends
to stick a pin here. They are now free to
confess that if Congress repeal or alter the
fugitive slave law, they will sccede. We
firmly believe that when another admins
uation comes into power, this law viii be
repealed or altered, and we want 10 sec if
tic union-loving friends of the South will
advocate disunion because Congress does
what it has a constitutional right to do
