HOW THE UNION WAS SAVED.

We published few weeks since, u part Of
fourth of July speech, of Mr.. Richard Ycadon of
Charleston. S. c., in which he was understood to
say that the Union was of vast consequence to
slavery, indeed that it must be maintained what
ever course Congress might take. Since then this
same gentleman has turned up at New York, and
at the Pilgrim Celebration at Plymouth. lie
writes to the y. Y. Ev. Post, to correct this and
other errors. We give an extract, promising that
it seems to us probable that the error was in the
publication of his southern speech at the north
At the south it is the true doctrine that the Union
supports slavery. But at the north it is better to
play the braggadoco and confess, no such thing
to put on swelling airs, predict certain destruction
to the Union, and then dvulgc the only way to
save it. lie says;
/ | firmly believe that the South coHH and saoUld
break up the UniOn and form separate cOnfCdc-
Iracy, should Congress pursue the unconstitutional
and unrightcOus course you Indicate.
You were further pleased to say. on the same
OCCASION in the same article: "Thc Union party
as they call themselves, begin to confess that ,rdS
all mist0ke 10 suppose That lie Union rus S0rcd by
Tic bgisldjioR qf 1850" Now, sirs, the Union
party of the South begin to confess such thing,
but, on the contrary, hold that the legislation of
admission Of California, with her anti-slayery
stitution and perhaps also the Texan feature of
the compromise, did cndungcr the Union, expose it
to imminent and fearful pcril and nothing but the
fugitive slave law, not much for its practical
benefits (for they weigh but feather in the scale
If they exist at all for the spirit, the constm
tional and Union-loving spirit, from which it cman-
ated, and the constitutional recognition of slavery
it embodied, enabled the friends of the Union in
the South, to save the Union from destruction.
am, gentlemen, yours, very respectfully,
RICHARD YEAD0N
While at the Plymouth Celebration the same
man indicated his gratitude to Mr.. Ex Secretary
Everett, who was upon the PLATFORM in Il manner
that we should think would have been somewhat
embarrassing, Probably Mr.. Yeadon designed il
as starter to Mr.. f., for the next Presidency
| lie said:
"And thus. while as a Southcrncr pay homage
to the iustrious dead, let me also do homage Il
the illustrOus living and return my grateful thank,
to the gifted and glorious Everett, for the dcclara
T tion and sentiment uttered by him in Congrce

That is u reminiscence of scryility, that W,
should suppose Mr.. Everett would have prefcrre,
not to have been brought forward on plymouth
Rock, while doing honor to the sturdy old pilgrims
The Dedham County Democrat gives the follow
ing account of the manner in which Mr.. Everett
, and the Wings, tool Mr. Yeadon's compliment:

The only consolation which any calm observe
could give the new aspirant for the Presidency
under such circumstances, would be that whcl
