The Moral or the Elections, tt

The result of the recent elections, both at the North
and South, has clearly proved that men or party
whose attachment to the Union not clearly defined and
unequvocally expressed long enjoy the confidence
OF any considerable portion of the people OF the United
States The people have no sympathy for dsunion, in
whatever form il may present itself Whatever may be
said by the opponents of republican institutions about
the danger of trusting the public sentiment of any
munty, the experience of country every day
proving to the world that the deliberate judgment of
virtuous and enlightened people be relied on Their
sober second thought is almost invariably right
The people of the United States have passed their
judgment upon the agitators OF the North and the dis
unionists of the South. Dsunon and notification,
though fosered by local preudices and sectional
ests have been sgnaly defeated whenever they have
been brought before the people They are ehectually
crushed Disunlon meetings may, indeed be held at the
South and fanatics the North may the scenes
of Chrstiana and Syracuse; but they never have
the sympathy OF any considerable portion Of the people
Restless spirits disappointed asprants and broken down
politicians will always exist but their influence is fast
waning and themselves finding the oblivion and contempt
they deserve. aEu
But the great body of the people steadfas in their
adherence to the Union. For it they are willing to
conquer their preudices. and give up their sectional
animosty they know its blessings too well 10 wish for
anything but its perpetui,y and onward progress. ".
